Last May 2023, I signed up to volunteer. The swag would be worth it! But since I live out-of-town, the other travel-costs were not “in the cards” for me and I didn’t follow through with the volunteering. The volunteering g for the Super Bowl organization did not guarantee any viewership time. It is what it is. I’m an OG of over 39 months to this channel. Great story Steven!
Hello Stephen!! :)- I have been a full time local of Las Vegas for over 12 years now. Just like the F1 race which was a total disaster, I feel as if the only thing that Vegas cares about above the locals is money!! Grifters!!!! Unfortunate that THEY put Profits over People!!!
I love your take on Las Vegas and the happenings about town.... Been watching you for maybe 3 years, maybe 2. The F1 was crazy there, not sure if the town made up for what it put out, Honestly I think Super Bowl will make money and without costing the mom and pop business' their business. Can't wait to see what happens and for the big game! both not my teams...but just should be a good game.
I can't even begin to imagine how much the MGM properties will benefit from this. That end of the strip is basically a monopoly for them. From the Bellagio to the Mandalay Bay on the one side of the strip and MGM Grand on the other. How much do they stand to make from rooms alone? Not to mention the gambling revenue, food etc. They will get primo bucks considering the proximity to the super bowl.
I firmly believe the stadium was a crooked land deal involving a politician and his son and heavily influenced by libbiests from MGM but you don’t just make that video. It’s complicated and impossible to prove.
I have been watching the saga of the Trop and the new baseball stadium. Your right, your there and hear the rumors about the deals made. But they are rumors, and we all know people love those stories but you have no hard evidence.
Your outrage is misplaced. Aren't quickly rising resort fees and crazy food and drink prices more relevant for most Vegas visitors? Suffice to say that nothing that happens in Vegas is shocking. It is just one big money grab.
Great video Steven. I know you have been searching for a format that people want to watch, and this sure works. The Super Bowl isn't the only event to happen in Vegas, and you should try and cover the most interesting ones like this.
Always love your videos, Steve. I know I'm at least an OG Watcher of your videos from back when you started talking about things from inside your car. Then shortly later became a subscriber. I remember when you did a video on the back side of the casino property, I think it was Harrah's.
On Yahoo Finance’s channel, elsewhere here RU-vid, says US consumer credit card debt just hit an all time high of 1.13 trillion dollars! Not making any judgments, but it will be some time before Las Vegas sees me again.
Steve, I have been noticing police cars from California municipalities parked at the Sheratons and Marriotts around the city where I assume the officers are bunking up. Is the Superbowl contracting with out of state police agencies to provide extra security this week-end ? Holy cow ! How much are they paying for these out of state details ?
That’s ridiculous, it’s like a 2 night long News Years Eve Party. We have plenty of police for this, we have security for this, federal law enforcement, this isn’t this towns first rodeo. Wow
@@KingofDoubleBogey Well what's your idea as to why MARKED K-9 and other units from Cali are sleeping in local business hotels. Playing hooky on the job in marked SUV's ? I want to know.
@@fauxlklore That is probably right. I saw quite a number of K9 units from Alhambra, Carson, Cerritos, El Monte, etc. It is either the NFL or Clark Cty. contracting out. It's called a detail.
My hope is that the F1 in Vegas failed so miserably that they scrap that idea going forward (wishful thinking, I know). The Super Bowl is a helluva lot more popular than Formula One racing and will be a financial windfall for Vegas. Steven, I've been a fan of your channel for a very long time. Love your honesty, transparency, quality work and determination. You started out worrying too much about any negative comments people leave, when the overwhelming opinion of those who watch you think you're great. I'm happy that you let that stuff roll off your back a lot more now. I understand that it's hard to receive criticism when you put your heart and soul into this. 70,000 subscribers know of the work you put out.The documentary-style videos you do are a cut above every Vegas vlogger out there. Congrats on your continued success!
This price gouging happens for EVERY event Vegas has scheduled!! This is by far the single biggest single sporting event on earth, period! How much is your city going to make off of this event....hmmmm...Las Vegas supposedly invested 60 million and the estimated gross revenue is $600 MILLION to 1 billion, yes!!!😮 Not a bad return of investment if you ask me. This is why every major NFL city is begging for a Super Bowl!!! Not sure why you are whining about it, stay home and enjoy in your own private surroundings!!! Oh and congratulations as you didn't mention resorts world!!!😮😮😮 Thank you for the vlog!
I live in San Diego just 4.5 hours away I'm renting my shed w/a air mattress for $1223.00 a night + $82.57 parking fee and $110 "resort" fee TAXES INCLUDED !! . it's way better then any OYO hotel {On Your Uwn}🏈
When you first said OYO hotel I thought you met the old San Remo/Hooters hotel, casino. I have stayed there many times and didn't find it that bad, being right across the street from MGM and just east of the soon to be closed Tropicana. And it had slots that actually paid once in a blue moon.
whoa, i havent heard his name in a long while. I used to watch him. I think he was banned during the last election most places. Too bad, I liked his takes.
No and we likely won’t. They throw huge numbers around and don’t actually disclose in the aftermath. Same with NYE “450,000 people!” And you see it and are like “nope…” And they never say how many actually came.
This was made to be a cash grab not a local friendly place to watch games. The golden knights is the only tickets locals can afford if you can under this fidenomics 🤦♂️. Great job bro on video
