In this video I’m going to take you to two Resorts here in Manila that will remind you of Las Vegas that’s right we’re going to check it out next on J what’s up JK welcome back to another video here in the Manila series and today we’re going to check out two
Resorts in this area called aana it’s right by the Mall of Asia we’re going to Solair which is a newer Casino and Resort and we’re also going to go check out okada first we’re going to go in here to Solair I was actually supposed to stay here with afw but our trip got
Cancelled and we weren’t able to go do a football camp here but it was a prospective place to stay I think we already had a deal to stay here so we’re going to check it out see what kind of stores they have to offer probably won’t
Be able to show you the casino because they’re super Marte about showing casino and stuff in there but the lobby the pool and all that good stuff we’ll make sure to show you that check out this entrance right here pretty nice little Fountain here too this place is called the
Yakumi looks like a Japanese Restaurant Sushi really nice tones here kind of reminds you like of a Asian Bellagio in a way Italian Steakhouse finestra this is poor toour it’s a jewelry store obviously and look at all this yeah this is definitely giving me the Bellagio WI Vibes for sure we just
Made it over here to the Solair Resort in uh aiana area and we’re going to tour around the grounds we can’t record obviously in the casino it’s just like Vegas but it’s one of the newer Resorts here I haven’t seen it ever before very high class you can’t even uh go in with
Uh Sando you can’t show your arms here so I had to put on a brand new shirt that I just bought a couple hours back so in this video we’re going to just show you the grounds of Solair and also take you to okada which I think I think
Is another step up I heard and there it’s just a couple blocks down so I’ll take a grab over that way and just compare it the Las Vegas of Manila and this is their swimming pool area it overlooks the bay over here looks like some kids hanging out in the pool some
Families this is the water side Resto bar pretty nice they got a sky tower entrance here man I really would like to stay here San lauron Paris and some Prada Bulgari and Fendi and then they have like a bar right here in the middle this reminds me of the Grand Canal shops
In Vegas that sushi place that’s a really nice bar right there and this place across the way is called Fresh and they got Louis Vuitton more stores here fendy and all that good stuff dude they’re super Marte over here with like you you have to wear your hat backwards
Not forwards it’s so weird over here dude what do you call these things Jacks so obviously I can’t show you the casino but we’ll show you some of the shops and the resort areas here and uh maybe try to grab a bite to eat I don’t know we’ll
See we’ll see the vibe here it’s a little weird they have this place called Patisserie here boss Pandora lacost look at that Ube coconut mousse that looks good and then they have the whole cake of the Ube coconut mousse over here too my friends at AWB also
Sent me here to check it out because they were talking about staying here if he did the afw B camp in the Phil Philippines eventually and uh right now I don’t know man not starting off in the right foot we’ll see ooh a coffee bean over here might need to get an afternoon
Pick me up maybe they have something uh U here all right there’s a casino entrance this is probably as far as I can go with recording so we made it to the second floor they call it the Forum there’s a theater over here so we can check out the theater this is the
Entrance to the theater for solir really nice paintings over here all right I’m starting to get a red rock summer Vibe now I do like the furniture over here looks really nice doesn’t look like they have any shows or anything because the theater Solair is right here and the store is empty Miss
Saon is March 2024 Liang Dan fulllength ballet okay that’s early March that’s actually this weekend and Miss saon lands sometime in March too okay so there’s two things going on around here really cool ceiling design here by the escalators and this is the entryway to the theater it’s dark right now and this
Is one of the VIP entries that’s the entry to the casino area and they got a food court over here slot machines oh cool it’s a handful of places yatai panasian filipiniana Americano and the bakery interesting they got gin chopi o Kare shout out to my cousin
Rachel she loves that TAA is with Fish And they’re special of the day looks like they’re putting a March drawing for this Raptor right here that looks pretty cool look at that chandelier up top look at his front entrance right here they look like mini octopi right there this is the entrance with
Waterfalls and there’s the registration for the resort itself smaller Lobby they do have a hotel lobby bar called Dragon bar oh look at that nice dragon right there and that’s where your registration is nice centerpiece then they have this Solair boutique store over here you can pick up some Solair teddy
Bears or some glasses and all that they do have rules here prohibited to enter stay and play government officials members of the AFP people below 21 one people included in the National Database of restricted persons prohibited to roam around are financi years lone sharks and the like interesting and a gaming
Employment license holder corner of the casino is their Solair Rewards Club line they do have food dogs in the front here just like in Vegas so this is the front area how you doing the front area they have like a fountain and there’s fire that’s going up there I to check
That out H so they have a fountain in the front with a mini fire show and light show that’s pretty cool and this is the front main entrance and there is their car park here looks like they have about eight or nine levels hey what’s up man
Musta hey boys how are you what’s your name SS there’s that fountain show that goes off every few minutes you can’t see it from the front but it’s right here in the main lobby so Solair I think it reminds me a little bit of Red Rock
Casino uh they are a lot stricter with rules here than they are in Vegas uh I think just because there’s a lot of mandas out there and con artists that probably try to go into the casino and try to cheat their way into some money
But so is okay kind of rubbed me the wrong way a little bit they said that you can only wear your hat backwards and then right when I put my hat back backwards I walked by a dude wearing a hat forwards and then another dude wearing his hat forwards so I’m like yo
Be consistent if you’re going to tell somebody to wear your hat backwards all the time all right I’ve had enough of Solair let’s go to okada let’s see how okada is I have to hop a grab over that way so we will hail the grab in the
Front entrance and get over to okata so in the Philippines just so you guys know they have security before you walk in so make sure you know that and get your bags checked and you can’t wear clothes that don’t cover your Shoulders thank you for visiting okila Mr Jake have a good day Sal thank you so we made it here to the front of okada really small pickup area but nice and you have your food dog oh look they even put pesos inside the teeth I’ve never
Seen that before well it is Lunar New Year they also put pesos down here but there’s no churro like it is in Resorts World we made it to okada it is japanese-owned and wow I am digging this gold and pink Vibes over here and the entryway is a little more welcoming here
Let’s go go check out what they have to offer in okata this is the newest casino and resort here in Manila and you can tell it’s really nice look at the design here in the entryway pink and gold there’s the registration over that way let’s take a
Look there wow like inverted tulips in the registration area I would try to stay here the chandeliers here on their Lobby Bar might have to grab a drink at this Lobby Bar before this video is over with but wow I would love to do a room
Review here and a hotel stay and look at this centerpiece right here wow so this is the lobby lounge and they have a ton of pastries over here look at that the pastry shop at okada Manila wow look at that lick Cube pistachio praline that stuff looks really nice and some baked
Goods all right this is the entryway over here nice elegant area so far you get more of a Japanese feel here with the designs look at this it’s like a little bouquet of spring flowers you can take pictures at and the buffet here is called medley Buffet the buffet over at
Solair was that Fresh Buffet you get 30% off your lunch buffet and look at the entryway over here kind of reminds me of catch over in Arya all right guys don’t tell me that this does not scream win and Encore right here it’s almost like
The wi and Encore buffet in a way this place is called look fuk jewelry right next to a Calvin Klein Calvin Klein no my name’s Marty what movie is that Calvin Klein ain’t he a dream comment below yeah this totally reminds me of Encore and win that way where the
Entrance to XS is then you walk down this mini hidden hallway and it looks like there’s another q Crane and Claw over this way let’s see what they have out here wow it’s like a mini Fremont Street guys look at that what is this it’s Fremont Street
Mixed with Grand Canal shops there’s the Q crane you’ve seen these all over the different malls they have a nan hot pot over this way I’m liking this place there’s a no no right there and a Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf I see the Mary Grace
Down the way oh it’s locked boo it’s locked this place is called leure it’s a nice little florist area in the middle of this awesome mall right here you don’t even have to wait till the end of the video for me to tell you okata is the best Pavarotti Pizza Pasta Pizza Pasta
Over here Pavarotti Sal they have a theory style Southwestern Flaming Grill here what’s that how are you oh Texas Roadhouse Texas Roadhouse you and think there’s a Texas Roadhouse in a place like this it really does have that Grand Canal Vibes here without the canal Las Flores o this looks pretty
Nice bottomless mojito for only 425 pesos you could tell this is their cheaper options area you got Panda Express Kumi Momo and Jollibee right here you got a mini step and repeat Banner right here there’s a little map of this area let’s see where are we
Right now I think we’re over in this way oh we are right here so this is called the fountain okada Manila and then you still have this whole area of where the casino is Cove Manila right there and the casino is wedged in between it this looks like an area that’s still being
Developed but this is called thrill scape it looks like a nice playground Running Man style here and sure enough it is some sort of obstacle course here that looks really fun well I thought I saw my name there’s a there’s a John and a Jeremiah this is like a little Gladiator
Gauntlet pretty cool you got your El poo Loco here and then in this corner is the Starbucks and then another entry way there’s a Randy’s Donuts they’re everywhere I still haven’t shown you guys the Philippines mugs yet I’m going to wait until I go to the airport to get
These Philippines mugs over on this side is Manila I got to get both of those baby rich kids playground right here the Play Store you can get your high-end toys over this way this has got to be like the daycare play session area it is play at okada Manila man they are
Amazing this is top knot and this is called the candy shop right here in this hallway you can pick up as many candies and potato chips as you want ooh I love Pocky Pocky strawberry is amazing I grew up eating nerds that’s why I probably had he Cavities this is awesome you can weave in and out of this main shop area and then the casino’s in the inside but I know I can’t film in there so I’m not going to even try just with my phone I guess oh man look at this little Kobe
Doll right there and some old school cobes this place is called shoe game Manila this is their Casino in sports bar doesn’t look very Lively it’s probably not even open right now this is the casino part right here this is all I’m going to show you guys
Don’t probably get in trouble there is a reward Circle okada Manila reward Circle this is their app you can download this place looks fancy it’s called Cove Manila I would have to say this place is like three times bigger bigger than Solair man I was told there’s a fountain
Show here at the top of the hour outside wow it’s really dark out here right now but there’s a lot of people Gathering so let’s check it out look at that that’s the inside and the resort area and the middle part is a huge Lake and the stage right here peep this
Lake right here we’re going to have to check out this uh show real quick N That was cool it was about a 5 minute show little remin of Bellagio need me a little pickme up and then I will sit down and compare both Resorts and tell you which one I like best and this mall we’re walking around is actually a Miracle Mile type shop half of it’s not
Even open yet and that one Manila place I was showing you guys earlier that was a beach club they’re actually doing like a day Beach Club here so it really is reminiscent of Encore and the wind here all right I’m going to succumb to ry’s Donuts
I got the matcha cream from ry’s Donuts it was 160 pesos so it’s only about like three bucks I feel like I take two sips of this and it’s gone it’s all ice in the inside it’s refreshing though enough energy to get me back to BGC this place
Right here is called enbu Japanese style this place right here is Filipino food quina Garden beastro they have a boodle fight if you want this is the look inside of their medley Buffet here in okada man I don’t think I could handle a buffet though that’s pretty nice doesn’t look too
Crazy it’s a decent sized Buffet really nice classy looking restaurant here La pza Restaurante Italiano check out this firefly fairy really nice and you got a peock club down the way cowcow milk cheese factory over here towards the end yeah so only about half of this Miracle Mile like
Circle mall is open look it blocks off right here and then this is a really cool area with cherry blossoms it’s a nice little Cherry Blossom Japanese garden here ooh they even have a cha time here like a little aquarium background with these cherry blossoms and finally you have
711 That’s So Random there’s a 7-Eleven in such a nice area I’m not going to lie to you I’m Filipino and this is a Korean restaurant but I used to call this place in Convoy in San Diego tauki cuz it was spelled t AE but it’s t anim T but
Before I knew that I would probably call this anim final verdict okada versus Solair I don’t think it’s any competition I think okada Takes the Cake the casino is like four times the size of Solair uh there’s there’s a ton of slot machines I’m telling you ton of like smaller digital
Slot machines and more table games than in Vegas a lot of black jack a lot of pyal a lot of backer rats uh they actually do have smoking sections in the middle of the casino like the Center Bar is like their smoking section that water show here is amazing I like their mini
Miracle Mile Shop it does give me the feel of a Encore SL win here at okata so okata Takes the Cake 100% sorry Solair kind of bored me and rubb me the wrong way when I walked in so definitely the wind goes to okata it’s definitely
Comparable to a top class hotel in Vegas top class resort in Vegas so that’s all I got to say about that and uh if you guys like this video please give it a thumbs up please subscribe to JK and my new channel JK San Diego if you want to
See more things from the Philippines like this this is my wheelhouse guys Vegas is my playground so covering a resort like this is awesome we’ll see you guys in the next video and in words of me stay traveling Manila let’s go t

I stayed very very near the Solaire Hotel Manila in a budget hotel called Hop Inn Hotel, Aseana City Manila. I slept at my hotel for $28/USD night but spent days enjoying the Solaire, City of Dreams and all the other fancy Las Vegas type hotels and all their amenities. Lol! There's a nice Ayala Mall Manila Bay nearby too. This was the 2nd out of 4 areas I hotel hop around while in Manila. Okada is next level excess and is beautifully decorated for the holidays which is mainly why I wanted to visit the property. They do offer a nice day package for using their pool along with a nice meal.
Jay u skip city of dreams manila, and soon resorts world bayshore will rock entertainment city hehe
Gonna be at Okada from May 24 – May 27 before we head to Japan. Come back in May hang out with us Jay. Fountain show is better than Bellagio.
Jay, nice video! Film restrictions and phone use inside the casino is due to off-shore gaming issues, primarily with mainland China. Okada was an original partner in Wynn/Encore; same architect.
FYI, 2 more luxury casino resorts are opening soon in Metro Manila- Westside City Resorts World and Solaire North! โค๐ต๐ญ๐ฅ
Thanks Such beautiful resorts/casinos. I think I liked the 2nd one a bit better.
If you sign up for their rewards card, you can get FREE shuttle service to BGC. Pick up/drop off is at SM Aura๐
Did you visit Paris Hilton's resort ?
Okada has a big time Wynn Las Vegas vibe. Great vid! Keep them coming! Safe travels Jcay!
Jay… no place can beat Vegas when come to casinos and buffets… Macao came close but no cigar . I will be going to Vegas to watch the NCAA basketball tourney there next week. If I bump into Norma will say hello for you!
Okada looks awesome. Taeguki Korean BBQ in San Diego looks like good times!
You should do Binondo food trip!๐
Hi Jaycation! My answer: Back to the Future. So many similarities with Las Vegas. Really enjoying this Manila series! ๐๐
Doesn't make sense. It's so hot in PH!. Are you able to wear tsinelas atleast? Prolly not. I saw peeps wearing shorts is that allowed? I don't remember
Mommy G would be proud you checked for a lions churro. ๐
Check out spiral Buffett.๐
while in philippines jay, try and get some massage, they do have some nice masseuse all over manila.
Bellagio, Wynn and Caesars Palace all in one!
Okada is awesome. Wishing this particular video will hit million views especially sa mga pinoys around the world. Mabuhay .
Hey dude just saw your live stream in baguio, awesome video! What internet are u using out there in the phil?
๐ต๐ญ๐ต๐ญ๐ต๐ญ๐ฏAWESOMENESS
Hat backwards thing is for facial recognition
Okada Manila ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Wow, those places look nice. I would have totally believed you if you said they were new hotels in Vegas ๐ think everyone has probably said by now 'back to the future' ๐
Get the hell out of here,๐๐๐๐ you mean to tell me that they have casino's like this in the Philippines and I knew about them some time ago but to this magnitude are you kidding me ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎI know one thing for sure I'm coming back to the Philippines now, you've better believe it man.๐๐๐๐
My last trip I did Jay to this country sucked big time,๐๐๐ like I told you before but now thanks to you I'm heading back and I'm going to drag my dad with me and he's been to the Philippines lot's of times, and in case you want to know Kazuo Okada used to be a business partner of Steve Wynn but they got into a fight over money and controlling interest's and parted ways and us knowing Steve and who he is today I don't blame Okada.๐๐๐๐
So that's why his hotel in Manila looks a lot like the Wynn and Bellagio and by the way the hotels in Las Vegas except for a few couldn't hold a candle stick to these properties Jay your awesome for showing these places we'll catch you on the next one brother.๐๐๐๐
P.S. Another tid bit of information Kazuo Okada was the chief financial backer of the Wynn and encore properties in Las Vegas when they were being built because Steve Wynn couldn't do it on his own
Yeah, please donโt compare those to Las Vegas. I have been. The food is no where close and the vibe isnot even in the same universe. Also itโs called the Las Vegas strip. There is no strip there, just casino by themselves.
Both are beautiful but agree, Okada seems to be the more welcoming place. Reminds me of a cross between Wynn/Encore and the Miracle Mile at Planet Hollywood.
Almost forgot, the Calvin Klein line is from Back to the Future.
Probably should have dressed like Bruno mars then RIZZ all the baddie employees ๐คต๐ป
Sorry I'm late to the party! Do any of those casinos have poker rooms? โฃโฆโคโ
Jay another awesome vlog. Okada is Vegas like huh?! Can't wait for you to stay there and give us a room review along with a restaurant reviewB safe and safe travels too South Korea
Great way to keep the Money in manila..mahalo Jay
It is definitely ! The Lasvegasstrip of the Phillippines !!! Beautiful !
usually wearing ur hat backwards is more โdisrespectfulโ, Ken Griffey Jr wore his hat backwards and alot of the old-timers didnโt like it
Great Vlog… Keep it up, Jaycation! ๐
