24 Crazy Hours in Vegas, Celine's Big Return, Eating at Slots & Backtracking on a Big Casino Promo!

[@JoshRachael]

You guys are the best! Thanks so much for the shoutout. The definite issue we ran into with 24 hours was the sugar and alcohol crash. Totally worth it for the story but definitely not in the plans anytime soon to try again.

I didn’t know Michael was 81 years old. He is the last of the OG casino owners. I still remember the good old days when his dad & Benny Binion were the kings of downtown. I am so pleased that I can still visit Benny’s statue at SouthPoint.

She's not doing better and she is not returning to Vegas to perform. They totally got it wrong and obviously didn't watch her new documentary.

There used to be a cool reality show about Vegas around 15 years ago called "Rehab: Party at the Hard Rock" that highlighted the dayclub at the Hard Rock hotel and Casino. It was fun!

[@johnchambers8528]

The closest to doing 24 hours without a hotel room for me was when Atlantic City Casinos first operating 24 hours a day. I live in the Philadelphia PA area and took the train down in the evening. I started with a good dinner buffet and then played the horse races till about midnight. I then had a snack at one of the various places in the casino. After that I played slots in most of the casinos along the boardwalk. One of the reasons I went was I wanted to see how many people would actually be playing that late at night into the morning. It was a once in a lifetime experience for me and I took one of the early morning trains home and after breakfast enjoyed a good days sleep. I was surprised how many people were playing however I had no problem getting on the slot machines I liked to play. While I lost money on the trip I did not loose much. But this is a young persons experience. Now I only do day trips or stay overnight if I am comped a room.

[@wulffdendad8957]

Josh and Rachel’s 24 hr video was fun to watch . Part of the Vegas allure was the perks , like free valet parking, food and drink deals room comps . The strip corporations are moving to accommodate the high rollers more and give out less to the first timers and average visitors. Good thing the downtown owners like Michael still recognize the value of serving everyone #wulffdendad

I believe it was 1991. I fell asleep at the blackjack table. I tried to stay awake for the four nights I made it for 3 😂

Damn that’s wild. I wonder how crazy Vegas was in the 90s. That when the strip really got all the action. I remember going as a kid in early 2000s and would walk from circus circus to the end of the strip

[@kirklima1640]

The wife and I have been going to Vegas for the past 13 years. We are in our early 40's and still love it. We have already been twice this year alone. We were planning another trip this September, and due to the prices going up like crazy and seeing way less value for our dollar, we decided against Vegas. For less money, we are going for a longer trip to the Dominican. Vegas needs to come back down to reality.

Ok I didn't mishear about the Octopus ink bun, not too appetizing by sound so not on my list to eat except if too many cocktails and I wouldn't remember anyway

[@BigRedDogATL]

I was in Vegas last week and took advantage of the Tuscany new player promotion. I got the first $50 in free play but found I couldn't use it on the newest slots like Huff N Puff and more and a couple of others. I did use it on one of the older slots and was able to cash out with just of $25 cash after cycling the $50 of free play through. So I left with over $25 of their money and headed to the airport to fly home. I'm scheduled to be back in Vegas at the end of August. I will check to see if I get the second $50 of free play or not.

[@jeffmande4671]

Thank you Michael Gaughan for keeping it old school. Coming Monday.

[@lisah5784]

I started going to Vegas in 1988 and loved playing at I believe it was Holiday, It's now Harrahs. What they would do on a regular basis just like cocktail waitresses they come around with a cart with hot dogs and jumbo cookies. He never had to leave the machine. Every time they'd come around I'd get a cookie cuz it was already wrapped tightly. Let's just say I had plenties of cookies up in the room for snacks 😂 I forgot to say it was free 😮 just like the 🍸🍹

[@williamhiland4378]

I am old enough to remember a guy eating dinner at a regular blackjack table in Vegas. It was meatloaf and mashed potatoes and it was at the Stardust. lol Also, in my opinion, South Point delivers on the best casino experience in Las Vegas.

[@geckobrah4201]

Shhhhh!

[@donnamarasco8942]

$50 burger at Nicco’s Steakhouse in Durango……can’t believe I would say it, but it was worth it! Incredible!

Treasure Island opened a Popeye's Chicken outlet in the back by the CVS. Between the restaurant itself and people sitting at the slot machines to eat their fried chicken, the entire back area was covered with grease. That was our final visit to TI.

[@davidsigalow7349]

There's a reason South Point is always packed. Good food, good gambling and a great showroom - the great Frankie Moreno performs there frequently!

Why only 2 shows a week, you should put a daily video, so much fun I am bursting.

[@donnaburkett7854]

Eat at the slots? I would just like to get a drink at the slots. Used to be the cocktails would be offered but we were not offered one drink in Vegas. Spent 3 days, no free drinks.

[@cliffordmaxwell9802]

Love, hope and prayers for Celine she never gives up. Lots of fond memories at the South point. and celeb encounters in the parking garage elevators during the Jerry Lewis telethons. my take on most of those club deals is just don't gamble more than you normally would to get the deal, or it is probably not worth it for you. but other than that, hey gamblers are going to gamble that's why they are in Vegas so get as much back from it as you can those perks all add up at the end of the year, just like the losses.

1980 was my first stay in LV. Some changes since and the best of several. BTW: Celine Dione won the ESC for Switzerland before she got so famous. I wish her all the best 🍀. I am Swiss but follow your shows just to keep up to date with all the changes. Sahara was my favorite hotel. Now over 40 years later I would not put one step on LV soil and if then Downtown only. Maybe in this old school casino mentioned in your video. The Sphere would also be exciting. The rest of the strip? A beer for $1 and a breakfast for $2 is all gone by far. Sad to see!

[@BrakRulesAll]

South Point has become HQ for me and my crew over the last few years. We love everything about that joint - especially the long-lost feeling that you're actually welcome there, not just being entertained as cover to drain your bank account. Strip hotels now feel like strip bars - as one barker once said "when your money's gone, you should be too." SP does not feel like that at all. Thank you, Michael Gaughan!

I’d have no desire to do Vegas without a hotel or at least a car to nap in and wouldn’t do it now when it’s hot. We were fortunate to see Celine Deon when she first started appearing at Caesars Palace over 20 years ago when they first built that theater for her residency. I don’t think at her age now with her disability she will be able to handle another residency. Maybe a few shows.

Celine's story hits close to home for me, since my only gig is posted to my YT channel and I had no clue I was doing it with a broken back. I'm still trying to get to the point where I can sit and play music again, let alone stand like I did in my videos (bassist on the right side of the screen, Ed Quinn on guitar/vocals if it matters) and would sell my soul to be able to play pain-free. I love Celine's story, and although not a fan of her music I am a fan of her fighting strength. Bless her heart for showing determination despite the world's opposition (well, at least the disease's opposition anyways). Thank y'all from Barstow, gonna see two concerts in Vegas before the year's out!

If I'm going to pay more than 15 dollars for a burger, it better be mind-blowing and be made with artisan bread from the finest bakers, beef made from grass-fed and free-range cows, fresh vegetables from the garden from Eden, cheese of the highest quality, and the best ketchup and mustard to top it off. If that's not the case, I don't want anything at all. I'm glad to see that Céline Dion is planning to return to the stage in Las Vegas. I hope she can take care of her health while being surrounded by her loved ones. Note: The tray of nachos, at 8:27, is very huge, and it could feed a very large group.

Given how recently the power slapping thing went from underground to internet famous, it seems highly optimistic they either had the money or will to do any sort of study on concussions. If anything when it first started getting recommended it seemed their attitude to potential injury seemed retro, as in like where well financed sports with risk were multiple decades ago, though it is hard to tell if that is what the video production crew were trying to sell verses the competitors and promoters attitudes.

The toughest thing for performers like Celine Dion to do is to stop performing. If she can do it physically, she'll be back. By way of example, the great Al Jolson tried to retire when his wife gave him an ultimatum- me or the audience. After a short retirement, he chose the audience and divorced his first wife. On the night of his second wedding, Jolson excused himself to go out for some cigarettes. He wandered into a nearby firehouse, and gave the boys an impromptu performance. An hour later, he left and went back to his honeymoon suite.
