Try to guess how much this nice, big bottle of Fiji water is?
Ready?
It’s $18
But maybe it’s water all the way from Fiji.
Ok, Let’s try another one
How about this nice refreshing can of coke found anywhere in the world.
Ready?
It’s $8
Oh, Are you hungry?
How about this cute small box of jumbo cashews.
It’ll be $17
Yes, you heard it right.
Jumbo cashews, not jumbo prawns
No, I’m not from the future, but I am here to save your wallet
These are the prices right now at MGM owned hotels in Las Vegas!
It’s from that one area in your hotel room you don’t get near.
The Golden Idol from Indiana Jones
And for some of us,
We made the mistake of NOT bringing our own water and waking up in the middle of the night
feeling dry.
We all know it’s a ripoff, but did you know it was THIS bad?
I mean, here
How about this Milk Chocolate Peanut Candy.
The picture clearly looks like they just put M&Ms in there.
So 4oz of it should be around $2.
What?
They renamed M&M’s peanut to Milk Chocolate Peanut Candy and they’re asking for $13.
4oz of Gummi Bears for $12 Amazon has a 5lb bag for the same price
To put it into perspective, if this was a 4oz gummi bear, this is what a 5lb gummi bear
would look like.
Orange Juice for $9 That must be one of those freshly squeezed
ones
I don’t drink, but for anyone that knows their alcohol
Jack Daniel’s Whiskey 50ml retails for $3, selling for $13
Grey Goose Vodka 375ml retails for $17, selling for $50
I did a quick estimate If you take everything from the minibar, you
will pay $763 If you picked everything up at CVS, you would’ve
saved over $500+
Everything is on a sensor.
MGM apparently gives you 60 seconds to put it back, but I just wouldn’t touch it.
They don’t even make the prices easy to see.
At Bellagio, you have to start your TV and find the mini bar pricing through the menu
Our TV didn't even work half the time
To add insult to injury, they charge you for storing anything in their fridge
That’s right..
That little space you see, you better not put anything in there because that’s going
to be… $50.
Please just stay away from the minibars at MGM properties.
Ok, here are some big juicy watermelon tips for you to solve this problem
By the way, I’m all about saving money so please subscribe to my channel if you want
to see more videos like this.
The first day when you get there, enjoy your day, gamble, eat, watch a show but before
you head back to your hotel, make a CVS or Walgreens stop.
They are located everywhere around the strip and they are insanely crowded.
It’s like a black friday sale going on in there everyday which it kind of is compared
to our hotel minibar.
Buy a few bottles of water and some food.
Even if you don’t plan to eat in your room.
Trust me, it’ll come in handy.
If you don’t want to walk to a convenience store, there are people trying to sell water
on the strip for a dollar.
You won’t miss them, they’re usually on or under the bridge yelling “ice cold water”
over and over and over.
If you don’t want to leave your hotel, just sit at a slot machine and a waitress will
come around asking if you want anything.
You can ask for water and they’ll give you this tiny hotel branded water.
If you’re at a nicer hotel, you can request Fiji water.
You should tip the waitress $1 for bringing the water to you.
Ok, the last solution I don’t like but it’s better than your minibar, is to go to the
hotel’s gift shop.
They have water for half the price of your minibar which is still a big rip off.
About keeping your food cool without being charged $50
you can request a mini-fridge for a daily fee.
But I would either buy a styrofoam cooler or just fill up your sink with the free ice.
That’s it!
Plan ahead and stay away from that minibar!
By the way, is minibar one word or two words?
Ocean’s 11 and MGM says it’s two words
But the dictionary shows it as one. Anyways
