1:05
this Saturday March
1:08
1st
1:10
2025 sporting the Crocs I brought tennis
1:13
shoes as
1:15
well but on a plane it's just nice to
1:18
have some Crocs and just be comfortable
1:21
like to be comfortable on plane flights
1:24
check the board over here see what's
1:27
going on with delays cancellations
1:36
Etc gate 73 I believe right there it's a
1:36
second one down from the Atlanta section
1:39
says on time 4:10 p.m. flight
1:44
1372 gate 73 on time I like that I am
1:48
bringing my passport with me but I do
1:50
not need it today because today is not
1:52
the international flight I always like
1:54
to show the US flag here before
1:56
departing American soil us soil
2:00
again not leaving the country yet but in
2:03
a few days last time I see the MCO US
2:07
flag gate 73 I'm looking for oh it's a
2:10
little busy in here it's a little busy
2:11
10 to 14 minute wait that says it looks
2:13
like worse than that but that's what
2:14
it's saying on the side all right that
2:15
took a little while I've Flo a lot of
2:18
airports already in my travels over the
2:20
years and I would say that MCO is not
2:23
the most fluid that's getting you first
2:26
through that first little section it's
2:28
not the worst but definitely not the
2:31
best not the
2:52
best I arrived in perfect timing to look
2:55
at gate 71 which is there but then over
2:57
at gate 73 which is right there that is
3:00
my plane pulling into the station right
3:03
over there so that's it and it'll be
3:05
boarding I think in about a half hour
3:07
give or take all right I like that on
3:10
time departs at
3:13
410 all right the Starbucks line over
3:16
here by the gates really really really
3:18
really lengthy over where you're
3:20
checking in and all that over by the
3:23
Disney Store and the universal store and
3:24
SeaWorld store Starbucks light is pretty
3:26
short but what you go here by the gates
3:28
pretty linky so
3:30
maybe maybe coffee's not in the cards
3:32
there's an anti ANS but they do not have
3:34
coffee Burger King has coffee in here as
3:37
well but the line is pretty long for
3:38
that too so here's all the flights that
3:40
are arriving and departing out of MCO
3:43
today looks pretty well there's a few
3:46
delays in here mine is not
3:49
delayed but anything that's red is
3:51
usually cancelled or delayed mine's
3:54
pretty pretty much good to go it seems
3:55
right no go on coffee before
3:57
boarding over here at one of these
3:59
little stores I think I'll go with
4:03
uh Vitamin

as you're locating your assigned
10:33

there not too bad and uh currently right
11:04

14:25
either back pocket or leave them in your

14:28
will pick it up thank you
14:56
appears or at least the
14:56
outskirts this might be Henderson
15:03
and I think I am on the correct side of
15:03
the plane to get a really good Descent
15:05
of the Vegas
15:07
Strip last time I flew into Vegas was on
15:10
the other side of the
15:12
plane I think I chose the right
15:16
side well I'm on the left side facing
15:18
out the towards the front of the plane
15:21
that be on the left side
16:08
of course I might be wrong I might be on
16:08
the I might be on the incorrect side
16:09
again I don't know
16:46
yep I think once again I'm on the wrong
16:46
side guess it all depends on which way
16:49
they descend
16:52
from dang it
18:16
I have
18:18
arrived
18:22
into
18:24
Los Vegas
18:35
right here in the airport as you exit
18:35
the plane slot machines slots Slots
18:41
machines only in Vegas well maybe
18:43
somewhere else but I think only in Vegas
18:45
oh yeah and there is that Las Vegas sign
18:49
saying come on in they want you here
18:52
they want you here they get off the
18:54
escalator you have this whole area here
18:56
which leads over to where where I have
18:59
arrived at I took the
19:02
tram system over to where the
19:05
transportation pickup is about to get a
19:07
ride shair over to my
19:14
hotel one thing about this building got
19:14
the AC kicking in
19:20
here yeah last time when I flew in here
19:20
I think it was I don't know 4 or five
19:23
months ago three or four months ago it
19:24
was for the F1 race well I wasn't here
19:27
for that but it was going on while I was
19:29
here and I was on the other side of the
19:32
plane and I missed the strip and I was
19:34
on so I picked the other side and I
19:36
still
19:46
miss guess I'm going the right way there
19:46
was an escalator that went said supposed
19:48
to go down when you're exiting out
19:49
there's a little classic car alert if
19:52
you will over here in the little section
19:55
as you're exiting and then also there's
19:57
a kind of an old timey three person or
20:00
four person or two person airplane
20:03
dangling from the roof I'm looking over
20:05
here have there's a ton of taxis I could
20:08
take a taxi I could take a lift there is
20:11
sphere over
20:14
there side see it you also see the High
20:17
Roller which is the ferris
20:31
oh It's All Coming Back to Me Now I
20:31
remember the lift area it's a real
20:35
mess you got a couple levels but I think
20:37
the lift area is over
20:41
there and the way it's set up is they
20:43
have these stalled numbers order the
20:45
Uber and then you wait for them to give
20:47
you a confirmation on what the stall
20:49
number is going to be got to wait here
20:51
for the driver to give you the stall
20:52
number confirmation you can gamble at
20:55
the casino but do not gamble on your
20:57
ride here
21:04
it's going to be about five to 7 minutes
21:04
till my ride gets
21:05
here not too
21:08
bad this is kind of the same setup last
21:11
time I was here and it was a lot more
21:13
people I think it was because of that
21:14
one race was in
21:17
town it's also currently 8:49 Vegas time
21:21
there's a time change all right make
21:24
making my
21:25
way wasn't too far maybe like a
21:27
15-minute Uber dry traffic was a little
21:29
thick as it is as I'm filming this it is
21:31
a Saturday evening and everyone's out
21:33
and about and a lot of traffic I mean
21:34
Vegas is always pretty busy anyway but I
21:36
would imagine on the weekends a little
21:38
bit
21:39
busier but I have arrived and been
21:41
dropped off right here at the Loop
21:45
Circle that goes around there's a
21:47
stretch limo right over there as well
21:49
stretch limo there right here place I
21:52
really like staying at the
21:54
Flamingo so I'm going to go check
21:56
in see what kind of room I
22:05
got so in the past I've stayed off the
22:05
strip and rented a car and things and
22:08
then last time I was here decided I'd
22:10
stay on the trip at the Flamingo and I
22:12
really enjoyed it didn't have a car or
22:14
anything and I just took
22:16
the monreal around and that's what I'm
22:20
going to do this time I'm only here for
22:21
a few days I'm not here last time I was
22:23
here for a week I'm not going to be here
22:24
for a complete week this time just for a
22:27
few days
22:29
little stop off for my next destination
22:31
International destination but I figured
22:33
you know what I'll stay on the ship
22:34
again wonder if they've got the pool
22:35
finished since last time I was here they
22:37
were working on the pool
22:40
dramatically should go check that out
22:42
right now there's the High Roller right
22:43
up there you see it peeking up over the
22:45
top of
22:46
the P
22:48
flaminga yeah so this is the pool area
22:51
that they're working on
22:56
so right over here oh last time you
22:56
could see through it nope it's currently
22:57
closed it's going to be called the to go
23:00
pool or go
23:02
pool last time you'd be able you could
23:04
peek in they've actually done a
23:07
lot I have a different room than the
23:09
room I had last time last time I had the
23:11
flamingo room this time I have I think
23:13
it's called a go room it's called A Go
23:17
Go room just like the new go pool is
23:19
going to be
23:20
called all right I got to go to
23:22
registration love the neon perfect time
23:24
to get here at night and all the neon is
23:27
illuminated
23:29
and here they have a lot of history
23:30
stuff is this door open this door opens
23:33
they have a lot of history stuff up here
23:35
on the wall of what it used to look like
23:37
way back in the day and all the history
23:40
of the flamingo the low swep design of
23:42
the Flamingo and the signature champagne
23:44
Tower are evident in the
23:45
1960s publicity
23:50
photo 1950s poolside
24:04
you got Wayne Newton who performs here
24:04
very young Wayne Newton back in
24:07
67 Tom Jones headline the
24:10
flamingo comedian Phyllis
24:17
Diller pretty
24:17
cool I think it is one of the oldest I
24:21
think it might be the
24:22
oldest active hotel that's on the strip
24:26
I think there's older ones in downtown
24:30
Fremont Street area
24:32
but what's next for the fabulous
24:34
Flamingo whatever it is you can be sure
24:37
that it will live up to its quote
24:39
fabulous reputation all right so I'm not
24:41
going to be in one of the go rooms they
24:43
said they could upgrade me to a suite
24:45
for another
24:46
$130 a night and I said no I'm good just
24:49
me I don't need that then they said well
24:52
the room you booked hasn't been upgraded
24:54
in 12 years you want us to put you in a
24:57
flamingo room
24:59
for the same price without extra fee
25:02
which is the one I say in last time and
25:03
I like that one those are upgraded two
25:05
years ago so I said you know what
25:10
sure so I'm going to a flamingo room
25:13
curious to see what the view will be I
25:16
might not be going the right way though
25:17
I don't know this seems really far down
25:20
here yeah I don't know where the heck I
25:23
am this is pretty cool though
25:33
all right I'm in my room good to go I
25:33
kind of had to go a roundabout way I'm
25:36
in definitely a different area than I
25:37
stayed in last time kind of see my
25:40
reflection in the window there
25:42
originally I had a KingSize bed in the
25:44
older room the go room but in this one
25:47
he goes all we have is two queens that's
25:49
fine let's put my luggage on the bed
25:51
over
26:03
Z two flamingos this is not even though
26:03
this is a technically the same room as I
26:04
had like last time the flamingo room
26:06
this one is not as not as fancy but it
26:10
is a flamingo room I think it overlooks
26:12
the flamingo
26:20
Garden got the facilities here got a
26:20
nice yeah the other one had like a hot
26:23
tub and electric wind
26:26
electric mechanism that pulled the
26:28
shades back and things this is pretty
26:31
nice too I'll take
26:34
it got a
26:36
little Chester drawer down here chest of
26:40
drawers down here let me turn the lights
26:42
out so I can see out see what the view
26:43
looks like all right there's a little
26:46
warm in here so I turn the air on for a
26:52
minute so down
26:52
there okay so last so the check-in desk
26:56
is over there
26:58
because the coffee shop is over there
27:01
check-in desk is over there the
27:03
flamingos are down there I'm above this
27:06
I don't know what these three items that
27:08
look like top hats are the strip is on
27:10
the other side of that so I'm definitely
27:14
W I had to so I went up the elevator
27:17
over there and I walked looking for my
27:20
room all the way around this way all the
27:23
way around this
27:25
way I made it in
27:31
well that's going to do it for today I
27:31
