The amount of travelling, videoing, playing slots, DRINKING BUDWEISERS, editing, etc etc etc. And still getting out a vlog everyday..!! Simply amazing, you my friend are a stone cold warrior!! Well done ❤ Cheers Jules, you are not forgotten. Excellent to see you getting a handpay last video, I’m sure it was welcomed 😂😂. You too are doing a tremendous job! ❤

You got go swimming in Lake Tahoe. The water will cure a good hangover!

[@thestereotypes3768]

Loving the Americana on this trip Matt. Hey, we always miss the pets. It makes seeing them all the better on our return.

[@elitetraveler11]

I am enjoying every minute of your trip. You guys are anazing. So entertaining and just so well done. Wishing you jackpots and safe journeys.

[@lorrier2503]

Enjoy the intro😍 I noticed the T-shirt…lol, it still had a lot of life in it. California is know for the In and Out burger, if you find a place. Lake Tahoe is spectacular scenery, you will love it! Thanks for sharing as always 👍🤩🎰💸🥂

[@JScott-pt6hm]

ITS THE TROOPER!!!!! LOL Great Vlogs Matt!

[@kelly4618]

I freaking love Jules! What a star!!😊

[@28farmall]

I’ve seen pictures of Sandia, it looks beautiful!

[@TheInsaneChef]

Glad you stopped by Saint Jo. It was where the Chisholm Trail went through in the old west cattle drives

[@TheInsaneChef]

I love how you have added some of the roadside stuff to these vlogs across America. Especially for the Brits to see some of the countryside here and establishments

[@markrigby7650]

Roll on Las Vegas. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@d1986scott]

Still playing catch up with this series but what a great set of vlogs. Loving all the stops you’re doing in between. As a Brit who’s spent a fair bit of time in the south, absolutely loved seeing buc-ees and whataburger. Brought back some great memories and actually made me a jealous 😂 I can vouch for those, both definitely 10/10!

[@DarkCrisis04]

You have to do In and Out and Shake Shack! Those are definitely a must try for Matt. Make sure if you go to In & Out that you get animal style fries!! It's not on the menu, you have to ask for it!

[@MattBridger]

I've had both in Vegas.

[@michellejones2433]

This has been soooo much fun to watch and I'm NOT even a slot player lol...I wish you can get some tables play in it every once in awhile. Anyways I love being on this journey with you guys. I'll be in Atlantic City tomorrow for four days staying at Hard Rock. ❤ Keep on Truckin baby I'll check you out later 😂

[@lydiawilson2723]

I am really enjoying all the different games you are playing.

[@RollenwithMrLopez]

I will be in NM on july 18th @inn the mountain of gods casino.. that’s nice as well

[@ericweber2448]

Cool vlog. Gotta love some Whataburger! Now you're getting to see some really beautiful scenery. Congrats on the wins! Gotta love those kind of nights. Keep it up!

[@heatherprice5900]

Another wonderful video, just marvel at all you are managing to accomplish!

[@Tink.at60plus]

Love, love, love this series! Excellent job on the vids as always. Wishing you the best of luck 🍀 and safe travels ahead. ❤. I agree with another fan’s comment…..Part 2 next summer!

[@MattBridger]

That might be a stretch 😁

[@donnawalker147]

Can’t tell you how much I am enjoying your cross America journey. Simply look forward to it every day!! Thank you soo much for sharing it with us all 🎉🎊

You are so welcome!

[@Hogand2cent]

So glad you found the stickers. Sorry we missed you. PS, told you to go to Sandia 😂

[@MattBridger]

You were right 😁

[@karenfromNH]

Matt this is such a great trip. The miles you and Jules are doing are unbelievable. You have squeezed in so much and the vlog quality is top notch. Jules is a great travel companion, love the bucket list too. Hope you win big, both of you.

[@joaodasilva5786]

thanks bro for keeping us entertained , Sorry I am like you to gamble , I need my beers also and my smokes .. hehe

[@BigAZCrapsGURU]

Task ***** In N Out BURGER!!!!!!

[@MattBridger]

I've had that in Vegas.

[@gailratliff7592]

Try an In and Out Burger in Arizona or Cali. I know we have them in AZ and I think California does too.

[@mrmotel9977]

Yeah - no drinking = no gambling... That would be a show stopper for me as well! Maybe we'll see y'all in Vegas! We arrive on the 5th! Cheers Matt!

[@markal6004]

Great watching you gamble across America. But there truly is no place like Vegas.

[@DutchVegasVlogger]

One Twee Feet! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Stunning music Matt! Your own identity 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

[@jasonpascua5058]

Awesome vacation!! Keep it going, love the vlogs

[@margejohnson2987]

In Lake Tahoe, a short walk from Harrah’s, is the Lucky Beaver bar and grill. Delicious burgers. I am enjoying your journey across America!

[@nicholasdraper5864]

In California you have to try an Animal Style burger and Animal Style Fries at In and Out Burger. The nearest In and Out to Hard Rock is in Lincoln about 20 min away.

[@Coco-up7bl]

California challenge...authentic Mexican food...Alberto's or Roberto's tacos 😉. Rolled tacos with guacamole and sour cream😊 or a California burrito 🌯

[@sgraffrn]

Great seeing the Boy Scouts that were in the Whataburger. They may have been on their way to or from Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, NM. A huge area on the original Santa Fe trail that hosts thousands of scouts each year for week long backpacking and camping trips.

[@brianozbun]

Awesome! Glad you were able to eat at Whataburger! That location in Amarillo is the closest Whataburger to me, only 42 miles away! Hahah

[@channelscott2225]

Great series as ever - can't wait to get out there again in October!! Keep up the good work!

Great work. Loving every day with you guys. 🎉

[@heatherprice5900]

For real mountains when Suzanne retires you need to fly into Calgary Alberta near me for Banff, Canmore , Lake louise and Kananaskis for the majestic Canadian Spectacular Rockies! Casino small and quaint even on the journey from Calgary about hour and half to these views! Even train journey from Calgary to Vancouver is pretty spectacular! See what wrstern Canada has to explore!

[@Tbpker22]

Matt, at the Indian casinos where you can't drink on the casino floor, you could always satisfy your thirst with a Dr. Pepper milkshake! And, you didn't show the mountain pass just east of Albequerque which is quite scenic - please show some interesting scenery as you and Jules drive through America.

[@MattBridger]

I like to keep the vlogs punchy and fast paced. Too much scenery would ruin that imho.

[@Tbpker22]

@@MattBridger Too much - true, but a little bit would be scenic!

[@vickiesharp4357]

We have two basset hounds also, so I know you miss them terribly!

[@MoneyAndMayhem]

Not too far down Highway 50 from Harveys in Lake Tahoe there is a place called the Snowflake Drive In - I really enjoy the burgers and corn dogs they have. Enjoy Tahoe, I used to live there and work in the casinos, it is a beautiful place.

[@bodyloverz30]

Carl's Jr & Jack in the Box, both CA favorites.

CRAZY CASINO RULES

[@amandacameron7199]

I played Jinse Dao Dragon on Sunday (here in Canada) and got 7 free games as well, but the fact that you had that ball bonus on every single spin is AMAZING 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Also very strange that you’re not allowed to bring drinks onto the gaming floor!!!

[@Dewder]

Hog and 2cent .... need to meet them ! If I absolutely had to I guess Id meet them in Isleta , But no Coors Banquet on the casino floor .... come on 2cent .... meet me in Vegas ! Great change of venues Mr Vlog-Father

[@MikeShuster5376]

Del Taco Challenge!! I look forward to them Everytime im in VEGAS. Southern California and Vegas For Sure

[@SenorLobo39]

Do In N Out Burger in California. They have 4x4 or 3x3 with 4 or 3 patties, not on the menu, but a great challenge. Add animal cheese fries if you like a messy treat!

[@charlesterry840]

You are officially welcomed in as a Texan! Im so happy you loved whataburger. Thanks for doing those little stops along the way.

[@kungfuchemist]

Man I miss whataburger. My favorite fast food burger!

[@buddys7786]

Thanks!

[@MattBridger]

Thank you that is very kind.

🍔🍟🥤👍 great Vlog again Matt , safe onward journey🚙 cheers🍻 🐕🐕❤

[@Bravado1989]

Gotta try original Tommy Burgers if you're in Los Angeles area. Also I recommend the donut man strawberry donuts.

[@cakienudge]

Good job. Thanks for the ride along. I'd way rather have the no alcohol on the floor casino over the loud place in Oklahoma. It isn't a big deal. Will be paying my once a year visit to a casino in Pennsylvania on Friday. When I asked where I could get a drink they pointed me to a vending machine!

Smiles all around at Whataburger😂

[@stephchesney-bryce9205]

Brilliant wow you are both driving some miles defo agree beer and gambling not a coke 😂

Yikes Matt that was a long Haul , once again loved the old town Square , the Windmills and the music , you really capture the moments so we’ll 😮 I have noticed that during your evening sessions the more Buds you have the more F bombs come out of your mouth 😂😂😂

[@MattBridger]

It's always been that way hahaha

You have to have a lot of self control to drink and gamble at the same time

[@bruceleighton4948]

It won’t be long before you have your better half with you Matt 😀😀😀😃

[@sunbrookheath]

Oh, too bad you didn't stop at Route 66 Casino west of Albuquerque. Has a great kitschy vibe to it. At night, it glows like a diamond on black velvet as you drive I-40 down off the Mesa. More old school "Vegasy" than Isleta or Sandia.

[@markusruehl1998]

Not sure if you recognized, but at your locking link freegame, when you thought you might been drunk, you just had 4 spins instead of 3, because you had 4 locked links in the beginning ;-)

[@MattBridger]

Ahhh! No I missed that! Thank you.

[@450r1]

Best burgers in CA are either In and Out Burger or The Habit Burger Grill Both in Reno

[@vegasmike966]

After living in England I assume growing up there,what do you think of the great VASTNESS you’ve seen traveling across the US ???

I'm from the Seattle area, so if there's one thing I've noticed in all your montages is how incredibly flat the parts of the US you are traveling through. Have you found ANY mountains? Real mountains? I hope someday you visit the Northwest so you can see what mountains are really like. Maybe fly into Denver and drive through the Rockies, then on to the west coast over the Cascades. Cheers mate.
