I think you should do this in Nashville as well. It’s a great tourist area with tons of “stuff” that you “MUST” do.

I would never ever in a million years go on a trip if I don’t have the money upfront. In fact, my husband and I don’t even have credit cards. We're completely debt and mortgage free in our Forties 🎉

[@cheesecurd100s]

The thing with vegas is to quit when you're up. Last time i left $80 above what i started with and was happy with that

[@getinthespace7715]

I used to play blackjack at bars when I was the DD in college. Kept a log of wins and losses... I was a dead break even after 4 years.. didn't win, didn't lose. So apparently, I was running a little better than 43% player odds but not much.

[@triplebbb291]

My jaw is on the floor. The irresponsibility on the Las Vegas strip is absolutely outrageous!

[@stylesbynataliemichelle8549]

I want more videos in the street like this I literally love them!

[@Kicksgood]

Crazy and sad to think how much money people will be losing this upcoming Super Bowl weekend there

[@SMetz-cw6qj]

Scary! Most people who go to Vegas would be better off if they stayed at home instead.

[@freedomring3022]

this video sums up the financial stupidity of the vast majority of Americans. It really isn't hard to believe that the USA is over a trillion in credit card debt

Dang if I had known George was there I could have shown you the fun places on a budget! One of my favorite free things to do in Vegas is watch the air force jets. Especially when the Thunderbirds are practicing!

Nice video George!! I live in Las Vegas but I never gamble cause I have self respect. I work and sacrifice too much to get out of debt…

Ironically, Goldman Sachs is trying to find a buyer for the Apple Card portfolio (as well as trying to exit its entire consumer business). Card is not working out very well - higher than expected dqs, losses, etc.

[@b.c.2836]

That scared me...

[@Cecil.Anderson]

I worked in LV as a journalist for 3 years, I can tell you that locals have to almost completely avoid the strip (except for work) for 363 days out of the year. The strip is literally designed to suck you dry. You can get a master class in Vegas on how to save money, or go broke learning. I have left, but the lessons working in that city are worth a Kamel special video on their own. I found Ramsey just a month before moving there and it helped guide me through those years and I actually came out of Vegas (during the pandemic) doing alright. 🎉

[@V8Brah]

That's not true. A lot of people who actually live in Vegas make a living out of gambling. They don't make a lot but it is a full time thing for them.

[@dustinjohnson1410]

​@@V8BrahI will wager less than 1% of Las Vegas residents consider themselves professional gamblers.

It's the gambling.

[@joeriveracomedy]

I started comedy in LV. I stayed with a reality star so I didn't spend an extra penny.

[@V8Brah]

I'm shocked that George and his followers don't understand the concept of stealth wealth. Wealthy people don't like to reveal how much they have in their bank/investment accounts, so asking people how much they have in their checking account is a really dumb question - because the answer is always going to be low. And if it's high, they're probably lying.

[@charisginn6932]

“Went to magic Mike and then I felt better” 🤣🤣🤣

[@hollybingeman2290]

Add me to the George category 🙌🏽

Those of us who live in Vegas often do it for wise financial reasons, including no state income taxes and lower cost-of-living! :)

Lord, help us all... that's right George. I have a dear friend that invited me to Las Vegas. I can't justify spending my money in Vegas. I prefer to "invest" in a trip to Europe visit museums and churches.

Question to spring on the people, "What's the last generous thing you have done for a stranger?"

[@desiv1170]

I had a coworker who would talk about going to the casino with her mom. She'd have these stories about her mom winning. Sometimes over a thousand... She had multiple stories about her mom's winnings... In the back of my mind, I always wondered how much she also lost.... But I was thinking, as long as they were having fun and was expected... Then, years later, I heard about how her mom was moving in with her as they had to sell her house... ;-( I mean, if that was what she enjoyed and they were fine with selling the house, maybe... I don't want to be too judgmental, but... I have my doubts it ended up being a trade they were happy with.

[@BrianKissig]

I enjoy these videos for sure. And entertaining and informative. But if I did have to give one piece of feedback I think the cutaways to memes and movie clips are a bit overused and sort of hurt the pacing of the video, and honestly slightly cringey at times. I think the videos might work better with fewer of them in the future, but keep up the good work.

[@jonkrispeterson6678]

Had to go to Vegas for a convention. Spent zero in the casino, however, had $115 and a watch stolen out of the room at Mandalay Bay. I did call security, and the told me my wife took it and gambled with it. What he didn’t know was that it was actually money my wife brought for buying some souvenirs for the kids. Right out of the bottom of her suitcase.

[@getinthespace7715]

Nice to know the security there are covering for staff robbing people.

[@Mactakun]
