today i'm giving you a vip tour of one of the fanciest hotel suites i have ever been to
but first let me explain how i came to be there because believe it or not thirty thousand dollars
a night is not my usual budget so um being a travel blogger certainly has its perks and
chief among them is getting to visit places that would normally be way outside your budget and
that's exactly what happened when i visited las vegas i was working with caesar's palace which
is one of the biggest hotels in the city one of the most famous did caesar live here um no
i don't think so whilst i was there i was asked whether i would like to see the penthouse suites
which featured heavily in classics such as the hangover which i just quoted and obviously said
yes this entire trip was a little bit bonkers i arrived in las vegas and was picked up by a limo
which then drove me to my hotel where they had booked me into a suite now it wasn't one of the
penthouse suites but it was still pretty fancy this is what it looked like and yeah i had a
little nap because i was very jet-lagged i had just flown in from glasgow i think where i was
living at the time because all of this happened about four or five years ago so i had a nap i
got dressed the first thing i did is i got some breakfast at like a really nice restaurant within
the hotel because these hotels are massive they have literally dozens of shops inside
casinos obviously um there is a cigar room that we went to at one point with like a huge humidor
there's very few things that aren't inside these hotel complexes which is a good thing because
las vegas gets really really hot i'm gonna say in the summer but maybe it's just hot all year
round like we're talking 45 degrees celsius and whatever it is in fairness after lunch the
first thing i did obviously was gambling because it's vegas this is how it gets one more dollar
you're still going i know i'm such a gambler this is two dollars now
boy the two wonder woman
1.50 and that's how it's done okay i think i've done it and there you have it the outcome 9.80
i am a bit of a high roller it turns out and that is obviously why my next step
was to go tour these penthouses actually i was wondering if you had any villas available
so i'm just gonna do a bit of voice over and take you around
one floor we have three different reeler only three wheeler you can see how
caesar's palace has a total of 12 villas which are the most luxurious accommodation the hotel offers
when you book one of these you get a private butler your own elevator limo transport from
the airport hidden terraces with spa pools and lots of other features and by other features
i mean ridiculously over-the-top stuff like indoor fountains grand pianos multiple fireplaces
and marble baths to name but a few it does come with a hefty price tag of 30 to 40
000 a night but if you're the kind of person that could afford that it probably will make
a big difference to your monthly budget i for one would rather spend a year backpacking the
world with that money but then again i am just a lowly peasant and we have a super cute specializer
oh my gosh and we have like 10 different 12 different pillows it's different shape
different texture so you can pick your own whatever whatever you want is kind of personal
this was probably my favorite room in the constantine villa it has a pool table
lots of comfy seating and even a little cinema and yes there's also
a gym obviously they're just like okay i'm on my target jack i'm coming over
right now in like half an hour give me a viewer yeah it really just happened
oh our wheeler is full and um we have to bump a million dollar cash player to other images
it's it's a big huge problem for us but it's good to have this problem that's
true
i have to say the kitchen the kitchen's just okay the kitchen is just the kitchen yeah
if they're like high rollers then like did they even really pay for the room
um if that is a good question i leave it for the marketing
like a million dollars i can probably say get a night free
i feel like that should be like yeah that seems fair yeah ain't gonna get you
here
hello hello welcome to the corridor of the alberta
the item as well was also very nice maybe a little bit smaller but it felt super classy
and had this great feminine vibe and it also had an indoor pool
i'll take this i'll get my five million dollars so apparently this
villa is perfect for parties and you're supposed to invite all of your friends
i don't think they have enough friends to fill this yeah
you know if they went really hard in the sun they might think i'm jlo so that's true
so how many bedrooms here just one room four yeah just four just four
area we've got wine cooler and also chess pool tables
so yeah five years ago i was touring penthouse villas in las vegas and today i'm sat in my
room in london in sweatpants and that's fine that's fine clearly i'm on an upward trajectory
but it's fine i'm not bitter i'm not i'm not bitter um the next bit of this video is going to
be a tiny bit disjointed because there are a few places inside caesar's palace i want to show you
but at the end i'm gonna take you to the coolest all you can eat buffet i have ever been to like by
a mile stay tuned first i'm gonna show you these spots number one this is bacchus pool i think the
pool's actually private so in order to access it you need to pay 300 or so for a cabana and
then you get free rein yeah it was very very nice very luxurious i sadly didn't film that much but i
really enjoyed my time there especially because i had just come from these penthouse villas and
then i was in a private pool like it was a pretty good day um the other spots i want to show you
are restaurants the first one is mesa restaurant generally speaking the restaurants inside caesar's
palace are very high quality you've got nobu there you've got gordon ramsay's restaurant so yeah
competition's pretty high but i really did enjoy mesa they do very nice steaks and seafood starters
i remember the cocktails being quite nice and then the second restaurant i wanted to mention is
this lovely upscale chinese restaurant within the complex it's called mr chow and they serve pretty
authentic beijing cuisine they make the noodles directly in the restaurant and you can watch the
chef doing it it's pretty cool and the decor is insane that that light fixture i don't really
know what to call it looks like a giant ufo but it is a very nice place and now finally we've gotten
through the disjointed bit and i can take you to the i did the hands and then i forgot its name
it's called baconal buffet i think all right the baccano buffet the buffet that has it all there's
a bit of a competition in las vegas over which hotel has the best all-you-can-eat buffet i've
only eaten at this one but i was very impressed tickets cost about 55 dollars i just googled it
and it's incredibly worth it because they have everything there are nine show kitchens
which cook up an impressive 500 dishes every day this includes your classic american fare
fresh seafood and sushi dim sum lots of vegetarian vegan and gluten-free options and just so much
more and finally there's lots and lots of dessert and famously dessert goes in a different stomach
so that is all good this is not a medical fact so yeah that was my hyper luxurious trip to vegas
if you guys don't mind this format where i just fish out all clips from my hard drives
then let me know because i could do a lot more of these i've got
footage from tyrol in austria i did a really cool wine trip around slovenia there's a lot
of stuff i've got a whole list so yeah let me know and i will be seeing you next friday bye
