What It's Like Being a Medium Roller in Las Vegas

[@BrianLagerstrom]

I feel like I need to make the cruise equivalent of your Vegas vid. I’m secretly into cruising.

[@netshaq2]

pls do it i've only been on one cruise at 13 and it rocked

[@drewmannMcGee]

I love cruising. I thought you looked familiar

[@SAUC3xPAN]

[@mariov5035]

Hey Bri

[@clownform]

it's ok man a lot of people are secretly into cruising

[@m_a_k_e_n_n_a]

I don't know Ben but from this fleeting glimpse I feel a deep spiritual connection with him via the sheer metaphysical power of complaining

[@Mason-lr5dz]

Excited for the "Shaq becomes a poker streamer to feed his gambling addiction" arc.

[@Mason-lr5dz]

Kidding, btw. Loved the video!

[@netshaq2]

I would love to stream my poker-learning journey (I think making decisions with incomplete information is a good life skill to hone), but I think the general consensus is that streaming games of chance is evil.

[@carsonjuell]

⁠@@netshaq2why is that? i'm curious to hear the argument behind that. also I love these vegas videos!

[@netshaq2]

@@carsonjuell the popular argument is that it promotes gambling, especially to younger people, even if you explicitly tell people not to gamble (they see you having fun and wanna try it)

[@carsonjuell]

@@netshaq2oh yeah that makes sense, thanks for explaining and have a great day!

[@empatheticrambo4890]

The Worst Man speech was everything I would think and feel if I ever went to Las Vegas. I loved it

[@danielsoskey4676]

omg I was at Bacchanal at the same time as y'all and thought that might have been you waiting in line, but i didn't want to get all parasocial about it. Glad to see you had a good bachelor party and fun to hear your thoughts on Vegas!

[@stefanristicmovies]

i fucking love the framing of the shots in the golf section, idk why but there's something so cool about monologuing while sitting sprawled out far away from the camera, or sitting on a golf car with pretty scenery. idfk why it just looks so weirdly satisfying it's fucking sick

[@netshaq2]

thank u i feel the same way about walking thru the door at 26:18 it's a wireless flex

[@maxpowers802]

Can't believe you shoved your baby back in just to play slots

[@ndylion]

you gotta make merch with the ending tag. I'd 100% wear something that said "god's favourite boy"

[@icegummi3177]

i enjoy how this video slowly turned into the spiritual successor to that really old bachelor party vlog on your main channel

[@GarrettWease]

The sequel we all needed and wanted

[@jorvar1446]

Took a benadryl and watched this as I went to bed- dreamt about eating food all night. Woke up worried I broke my macros lol

[@varunbelani7009]

The energy in this video is wild, I love it.

[@welpppppppppppppp]

shaquille i love how thoughtful you are about things. everything you say sounds so refreshing because i feel like you stopped and consciously formed a plan or opinion or preference. this was a really nice watch

[@welpppppppppppppp]

also the compliments to the dealers was a super sweet touch, always good to pay deserved respect to friends in the service industry!

[@davidsixtwo]

Honestly, all the price inflation across the country makes me love NYC more. All the food, prices are the same or lower for local NYC food than Austin or SF or Seattle or Vegas or whatever. NYC is easier to navigate as a traveler (cheap subway, no uber fares, no rental car, 3 area airports) and it's surprising value for free stuff and cheap food.

[@joristam7966]

When the world has turned into an empty dust bowl, and human kind is a gone and no longer remembered by anyone, this video will become an artifact on a server buried deep under waste and sand, buried deep under countless bits and bytes and zeroes and ones, and will lie there untouched and forgotten, until it is touched by the limb of a new species, a visitor, a space tourist, and they will watch this video from start to finish, without making a sound, registrering, analyzing, consuming, until the video ends, and they will look at eachother and proclaim: this is what it was like to be An American.

[@logdaddy]

I don't know whether to thank you or curse you for introducing me to Casino Quest in your guide to Vegas, but you've definitely rekindled my love of craps/Vegas. Hearing them, and now you, talk about Ellis Island really has me wanting to check them out!

[@JKJCreationsLLC]

genuinely such a fun video - i experienced my first bachelor party trip a year or so ago in Nashville, Tennessee, and I'm here for the chaotic bro energy this video exudes on every level. Another banger

[@Yo_soy_Annna]

Love the vlog style and the more Vegas/travel content. Thanks for the insight! ❤️

[@iceiceice4938]

Love these long anti-podcast videos. It's interesting to see how you organized your trip way in advance with the whole points system which is quite foreign to me as someone living in Ireland. More long term videos to come?

[@TheHotSkillet3]

As someone who lives in Austin, downtown dining value is down horrendously bad for even the most mid “new hot spot”

[@Polimathe]

As someone who lives in vegas, nothing hurts more than going somewhere else, paying the same price and getting a less experience. I just have to frame the location to the experience "ok so this is the best place in Austin for brunch, ok then."

[@KindredPlagiarist]

Lol if you're from Vegas no one is going to tell you shit about where to eat. You're from the Tampa of the Southwest.

[@KindredPlagiarist]

You are literally from the PT Cruiser of cities

[@KindredPlagiarist]

If I had to choose between moving to Las Vegas and killing myself I would move to Vegas before committing suicide in the vain hope of warning others.

[@bingus1651]

Can't wait for the sequel where we get advice about how to live it up in Reno

[@clownform]

i'm kinda here for this post-consummate 'shaq is a degen' arc. mortgage the house and put it all on black babyyyy

[@clownform]

though i suppose this may come to an abrupt close with the beginning of the 'fatherhood' arc, but hey ya only got one life as that old guy said

[@HooliganGenie]

28:01 Close your eyes, just listen to the audio. Is that not Bill Hader?

[@Smell-O-Vision-Citrus]

This video reminds me of that old bachelor party video you made waaaay back, and I love the vibes. Could I get a link to the song at the end, by any chance?

[@netshaq2]

soundcloud.com/djwinamp/fo-sho-love

[@kylemoder7550]

I somehow just found this video and GFOTY in the intro is so based. It is actually crazy how well tailored your videos are to me. I never hear people talk about or use GFOTY's music.

[@Jimmy-McPerson]

2:15 - where else for ube horchata? Senor Sisig in the SF Bay Area

[@shelbyrgray]

Love the Ellis Island shoutout. My tip- I live in EST so I’m always up at 5-6AM my first 2 days from jet lag. I wake up, kiss my lady on the forehead and get over to Ellis Island for empty tables and EXCELLENT bloody Marie’s.

[@saheel97]

I'm depressingly early but is that Duncan Robinson in the frame 7 seconds into the video? 😮😂

[@kniferaffe]

drunk shaq rules

[@seanunderscorepry]

the hudson mohawke song is such a throwback

[@morgantremble]

Last time I was at a nice off strip restaurant, I heard a jazz/frank sinatra type cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit

[@netshaq2]

Lotus was playing a classical cover of Tame Impala's Let It Happen and it was such a delight

[@rosecantu6361]

Will you be doing a video on Laughlin? I'm intrigued😊

[@HostileHairline]

It seems that going out anywhere is a terrible value right now

[@artbyfreddiexx]

gfoty at the beginning??

[@hayden32040]

You gotta cut this parasocial crap out and invite me to vegas already

[@ctjameson]

Yo but can I get the link to the microphone? I need that real bad.

[@DrexelGregory]

Been at the LINQ. Terrible hotel. The sheets gave me rashes, the bathroom door doesn’t shut, there was a hole in the wall where there was a fridge

[@terrenceistheman]

Mothership & Vesta come in clutch for coffee for me in Vegas but neither are on the strip. A coffee desert for sure

[@micah3k]

loving the wahlid tee

[@DynnJavier]

I need a Vegas podcast Shaq please please

[@kidyuki1]

I would absolutely listen to Shaq talk about Vegas for hours

[@jdniedner]

She'll have contractions for a week, build up that pushing muscle. Best of luck, being a parent is wild. Talk about rolling the dice.

[@mtzdude31]

What is the mic you are using? Did you 3D print the mic housing yourself? Final question… how can I get one?

[@netshaq2]

It's a DJI mic, and the housing was from Etsy

[@mtzdude31]

@@netshaq2 thanks man! Love these Vegas vids. I’m definitely a low roller but I come with money to spend. My biggest pet peeve is when the people you go to Vegas with aren’t ready for the “Vegas experience” e.g. they are afraid of spending money on gambling/food/experiences, aren’t prepared to walk, etc. I’ll never be a club guy so I like to spend my time at the tables. Nothing like it where I’m from. Hope to see more Vegas content although I know that’s probably gonna be limited in future.

[@ecrivonlunyx]

In Chicago i think we have ube horchata mix in some grocery stores, n some places that have it? Will report back if rediscovered. But, definitely worth, any reason is a good reason to drink horchata.

Lol was just in Vegas, in the neighboring MGM hotel. Go figure! Check out TON TON KATSUYA (off strip) if you have time. Some of the best fucking Katsu on the planet. Highly recommend. Show up right at opening or else you'll wait outside in the 110 degree heat for like an hour

[@veo16]

How did you spin slots nonstop for 4 hours a day, must have had quite the bankroll to begin with. Thanks for sharing.

I don't play slots! We just did a little spinning for that clip
