I Found the LUCKIEST Hotel in Downtown Las Vegas!

Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]Good morning everybody. I'm that challenge dude and I'm back with another gambling challenge. If you guys have been following the channel for a while, I made a video where I looked for the luckiest casino on the Las Vegas strip.

[00:00:11]So after this video, go watch that one to see who won. But today, I'm here looking for the luckiest casino in downtown Las Vegas on Fremont Street.

[00:00:20]Now, the rules to this challenge are very simple. We're going to be playing up to three rounds in order to find the luckiest downtown casino. For round one, I'm going to be placing $20 on black at an electronic roulette machine at all 12 downtown casinos. If they win, they'll move on to round two. And if they lose, they'll be eliminated. And we're going to start this challenge right here at the Elcortez, one of the oldest continuously operating casinos in Las Vegas that opened in 1941. Let's hope I got some luck here.

[00:00:57]Let's hope I start this video off on a good note. You never know.

[00:01:15]I'm really hoping this is a sign of things to come today.

[00:01:24]I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I'm here at casino number two, the D. And I visited here recently in a video where I tried Bacon Nation, one of their breakfast restaurants, which was pretty good. But let's see if I have any luck here now.

[00:01:47]The winning number is 35 blocks odd.

[00:01:50]Well, if I just keep winning like this, this is going to be a long video. I hope it keeps up.

[00:02:02]That's 220s for two wins.

[00:02:09]Two for two so far. Let's see if I can go three for three here at four queens casino number three. So, interestingly enough, I walked around the casino like five times. No electronic roulette machines in there. And I've played roulette here on a machine before. So, they must have gotten rid of them. So, I guess strangely we're going to get our first auto elimination for Queens is going to be out of round one.

[00:02:35]And that means we are headed to casino number four here at the Fremont. Let's make sure they have a machine.

[00:02:50]The winning number is 35 black all.

[00:03:00]That's three for three. I am on a hot streak to start this video. Let's keep it going.

[00:03:09]Making my way over to Golden Nugget now.

[00:03:11]Casino number five. Let's keep this streak going. Can we go 444? Let's see.

[00:03:25]>> The winning number is 34 red even.

[00:03:29]>> Well, the luck had to run out at some point. I did not go four for four. Our first legitimate roulette loss is here at the Golden Nugget. Let's get back on a winning streak at our next spot.

[00:03:43]For casino number six, we're heading right across the street here to Bingans, which was the original home of the World Series of Poker before it got moved to the Rio and now at its current home at the Horseshoe on the Strip. Let's see if I can get back on my winning streak.

[00:04:22]That's another winner, guys. Another hotel that's moving on to the next round.

[00:04:30]Casino number lucky seven is going to be Circa here, which is the newest hotel on Fremont Street. It just opened back in 2020. It's my favorite hotel on Fremont Street as well, and it's the only 21 plus hotel entirely. So, if you're looking for a spot without kids, this is where you want to go.

[00:05:02]I just talked about how Circa is my favorite hotel and casino downtown and then I lose. How you going to do me like that, Circa? Come on.

[00:05:13]Casino number eight is going to be Golden Gate, which is actually the oldest continuously operating hotel building in Las Vegas. It opened in 1906 as Hotel Nevada before being renamed the Salv and eventually the Golden Gate here. A historic property. Let's see if that history brings me luck.

[00:05:46]And with that, Golden Gate just became the fifth casino to move on to round number two.

[00:05:55]Time for casino number nine. I'm walking here into the plaza. Let's get it.

[00:06:10]And for the winning number is 18 red.

[00:06:13]Place your bets.

[00:06:14]>> I'm starting to alternate win and losses now. So, it's better than having a losing streak. I haven't done that yet, but I need another winning streak now.

[00:06:30]Casino number 10, double digits. Going to be here at Main Street Station. Let's get a win.

[00:06:48]Dang, I think I jinxed it. I said I needed another winning streak and not a losing streak. And here I am on my first losing streak. Now, I'm going to take a restroom break here inside of Main Street Station. And the reason why might surprise you. You can actually pee on a section of the Berlin Wall, believe it or not. Pretty crazy.

[00:07:12]Walking over now to casino number 11, the California.

[00:07:17]Give me some luck.

[00:07:29]That's another big fat L here at the California. That's three in a row. I'm on a good losing streak. The optimism from the beginning of this challenge has now gone right out the window.

[00:07:47]It's now for casino number 12, the final casino of round number one. This is the downtown Grand. Now, I started this first round with a win. Let's see if I can end it with a win as well.

[00:08:13]Well, I ended up losing for the fourth time in a row. Not ideal. All this losing has got me feeling pretty hungry.

[00:08:20]So, I'm going to show you guys a nice place downtown here to grab a reasonably priced meal.

[00:08:28]I'm here at the Fremont Food Hall, which has some good options. They've got Asian food, chicken tenders, uh what is that?

[00:08:37]Third Street Grill, Pizza Company, but I am going to head over to Steak and Shake because I'm a fan of Steak and Shake and they have pretty good price food over there. So, I ended up going with the number one combo, which comes with the double steak burger with cheese, fries, and a drink. And $12.99 might sound expensive for that, but here in Vegas, that is a good deal. Now that I'm fueled up, it's time for round two. And we have five out of 12 casinos that have moved on. I'm back here at Elcortez to start round number two. And to make this round a little bit more difficult, in order to move on to round three, I have to win two spins in a row. Let's see if I can do it here.

[00:09:29]Well, unfortunately, it looks like my lunch break did not help my odds because I've now lost five times in a row. El Cortez, the first elimination of round two.

[00:09:42]And of course, that's the first green zero that I've gotten so far in the video. I am not a fan of those green zeros. That's how the casinos get you.

[00:09:52]I'm heading back into the D right now.

[00:09:54]And if you guys didn't know, the D stands for Detroit. That is where the owner, Derek Stevens, is originally from. I've got my Lions hat on today.

[00:10:02]I've got Lion socks on. So, the D better be good to me.

[00:10:09]The winning number is one red odds.

[00:10:13]>> All right, I'm not going to lie. Things are looking dire. I've lost seven times in a row. This is awful luck that I'm having right now. At this rate, I'm not even going to have the luckiest casino cuz I'm just going to lose everywhere.

[00:10:29]Heading back across the street to Fremont. I need to win so bad. Come on, Fremont.

[00:10:43]The winning number is 20 black event.

[00:10:46]All right, I finally got a win here at Fremont. Thank goodness. I'm going to be putting the whole $40 on a second spin.

[00:10:52]Now, remember, I have to win two times in a row to move on to round three. If there's a tiebreaker needed, though, I do have one win here.

[00:11:02]But the winning number is 23 red odd.

[00:11:06]>> This is miserable. I got one win. Lost it all on the second spin.

[00:11:12]There's only two places left. I have to hit black two times at both of them to even have a round three at this point.

[00:11:22]Minions. Oh, minions. Please save me from this disaster.

[00:11:48]Oh my goodness, we did it. I won twice here at Bigny. More stop to make. So, we're going to see if Binyions here is the winner or Golden Gate can force a round three.

[00:12:04]Heading back into the Golden Gate now, the last casino of round two. Let's see if they can advance to round three or Finyions is going to take it.

[00:12:26]The winning number is 18 red.

[00:12:30]Well, uh, that was ugly. This challenge did not last nearly as long as I wanted it to. I had some truly awful luck today. If I had played red all day, I would be sitting pretty right now.

[00:12:47]When I film videos like this, I have no idea what's going to happen. And you just saw I had a bad day. But that's okay. There's always another chance in the future. But congratulations to Minions. You are officially crowned the luckiest casino on Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas. You didn't even have to get to round three. You won it in two rounds. Congrats. And if you were keeping track of my bets, that means in this challenge I lost a total of $100.

[00:13:16]So, it could be worse, but it could have been a lot better, too.
