Another entertaining vlog. Hubs & I frequently rented cars for our trips, but that was before parking fees. Has was cheap & a weeks rental was less than $100. We traveled out to Prime, Red Rock, Hoover Dam & down to Laughlin ( a great drive - actually saw a mirage on the way!). I'd also encourage taking the dam tour - found it to be very educational and awe inspiring! They walked us through generator room & mountain tunnels..also down closer to the river. Really enjoyed it, but again, this was all more than a few years ago (when there was only a slight bathtub ring around Lake Mead). Thanks for some dam great memories!

I'm afraid of heights....that's too dam high !!! 😄

Sunday greetings peeps ! To rent a car or not rent a car …This is a great question much like Shakespeare To be or not to be lol. For me personally I hate renting cars unless necessary. I only left the strip or downtown once last year to see Hoover Dam and I took a mini tour . It was a great experience and was so convenient to picked up and dropped off at my hotel . It’s cool you were able to rent it at MGM rather than the airport which can be a nightmare. Cool seeing you venture about 😎😎😎

I rent a car often. I always take anyone that’s never been to the dam over there. I’d love to see you check out the Southwest diner in Boulder City. I’m going in August, and I’m renting a car just to go to the diner. Go for breakfast and get the green chili breakfast casserole, and banana bread. You will be pleasantly surprised.

That was really enjoyable. Loved seeing something different from a Vegas vlog, especially since I’ve never taken the time to go to Hoover Dam in my many visits to Nevada. The low water level is frightening, though.

Great video. Love the idea of renting a car. Thanks for showing us how easy the process was.

Hoover Dam is a must see regardless of the water level. We have been there many times with out of town guests. You must take the tour inside the Darn. 😛 Next car rental suggestions: Red Rock (need reservation ahead now), Valley of Fire(Petroglyphs), Allegiant Stadium Tour, El Dorado Gold Mine Tour, Seven Magic Mountains 7 minutes from M Resort, Ethel M Cactus Garden (Christmas time), Shelby Mustang Museum (just south of Allegiant Stadium on Dean Martin) and Bryce Canyon in Utah (day trip).
BTW Lotus of Siam is opening a 4th location in Henderson this year. Check out Green Valley Ranch Casino and District in Henderson as an alternate location.(just below McDonald Ranch Community of beautiful homes on the cliffs).
Great Review on the vlog of these locations. ❤

Thank you for your video's I really enjoy them, and they help me when I am missing Vegas. In the future you might try taking a car to Mt Charleston, Red Rock or Valley of Fire for some great no-Vegas activities. Great scenery and some pretty easy hikes.
Keep up the great video's and thank you again.

A few things about renting a car while in Vegas
1) If you only plan on staying on the Strip and/or Downtown, and plan on making less than 3 trips away to another area, it’s likely not worth the cost. Uber and cabs aren’t super expensive and there’s a lot of access to them.

2) if you do rent a car, you need to have status with at least MGM or Caesars, or the parking fees will kill you. Wynn and TI have free parking and Resorts World kind of does, but those are all North Strip and away from the bulk of the casinos. Downtown parking is cheaper but having status at Boyd doesn’t hurt either.

3) Use either Costco’s travel site or book a pay when you get there rate through the rental company directly. Book your reservation as soon as you book your trip, THEN KEEP CHECKING BACK!!! The rates change daily and usually will be at the lowest about 4 weeks before. Even my trip in October I paid about $40 a day at the airport. But I had to change my reservation a few times.

Love the channel. Keep up the good work

So dam happy to see a new video from you both! 😂

[brianmoody]

The Dam is a great place to visit and also there’s a lot to learn there too about the Dam, the view is amazing.

[Coco-upbl]

Loved all the damn "dam" jokes 😂. I haven't rented a car in tons of years, I can't believe how expensive they are now. The rate about 15 years ago was about $100 a week for an economy car.

Valley of Fire makes for a good rental car day trip also

[YouUsAndAI]

Ohhh, I did the HD tour years ago...I MUST do it again!! Awesome!!!

[davesolomon]

My wife and I love your travel vlogs. We are about to rent a car for two days at The Aria in mid-April. We are in town for seven nights and are watching your latest vlogs to see where we should eat...maybe not the $1000+ one you had the other evening:). Safe travels and all the best.

[PennysVegas]

Loved the video. I have never made it to hoover damn dam. Someday.

[floid]

rented at both Cosmo and Sahara, both times a mustang convertible, worked out perfectly each time. i can only recommend. Valley of fire and red rock is a must visit.

[retsekoj]

I've been on the damn tour. It takes you into the inner workings of the damn. I highly recommend it.

If you have the opportunity, take it!

I enjoy watching your videos, well done! Thank you
