welcome everyone out of the woo here as
0:03
the recording of This is Friday March 10
0:05
2023 a very overcast and blustery day
0:08
here at Las Vegas Nevada the strip
0:11
basically starts right here underneath
0:13
this little Archway up top of the
0:16
stratosphere which I have never sat foot
0:19
in or stood set set foot I have never
0:21
set foot inside of in my entire life
0:24
I've done Fremont Street I've done parts
0:26
of the strip but never been up into the
0:29
stratosphere and I am being told that
0:31
this little little I don't know we call
0:33
it observation platform that I am
0:36
standing on just opened a week ago the
0:38
reason I know that is because danny702
0:41
is here with me as well hello there it's
0:44
been a while like 10 months since I've
0:45
been here that is crazy well welcome to
0:47
Las Vegas again thank you
0:49
new observations we can get a really
0:52
good safe selfie of the new signs I was
0:56
gonna say thank you thank you very much
0:58
but then I messed that up because
1:00
there's a little chapel over there that
1:02
has Elvis written on it I don't know if
1:04
Elvis stayed there or if I've noticed
1:07
around here they just put Elvis on
1:08
everything I think there's an Elvis
1:09
impersonator that you can get married
1:11
okay
1:13
that would be interesting so the reason
1:16
I am in town originally
1:19
at Disneyland Toontown was going to open
1:21
on the 8th
1:22
that was a fail got pushed back to the
1:24
19th and then here you and I
1:27
slayed at a time to go over to the punk
1:30
rock museum which was going to open
1:32
today on March 10th and how's that
1:34
working out for us not working out at
1:36
all
1:38
not opening until who knows who knows
1:40
when but I'm already here I went to
1:42
Anaheim for that didn't work out and now
1:44
I'm here for this so I'm just gonna
1:46
figure out what else I can do it's Vegas
1:47
baby we'll find something all right I'm
1:50
gonna go up here though I'm excited
1:51
about it I'm excited about going up
1:52
there way also you called
1:56
the Strat because you call it the Strat
1:59
of the stratosphere
2:00
what do the locals call the Strat I'm
2:02
used to call it I used to put the
2:04
stratosphere because it was called that
2:05
so I feel like I'm used to that okay but
2:07
it's now the Strat it's been the Strat
2:09
for a while so yeah I guess you shorten
2:11
it the U college said it's kind of windy
2:12
they might not be have it open today but
2:13
they're open right now so it's right so
2:15
the ones that might not be open so the
2:18
inside deck I think will be okay all
2:20
right let's get in there inviting you to
2:21
join me and danny702. Shout out oh you
2:25
did it
2:26
you beat me to it I wasn't expecting you
2:28
to do that
2:31
nicely done so not the grand opening of
2:33
the punk rock museum but at least I'm
2:35
seeing the grand opening
2:37
of this little platform that opened
2:39
a week ago brand new how many companies
2:43
go
2:44
it's like it's uh
2:46
it's not really too tall though it's
2:48
like I don't know it's like a little bit
2:50
off the ground but you kind of get the
2:51
good angle there
2:53
also I didn't realize that's till you
2:55
explained it to me that the
2:57
the strip basically starts here and then
3:00
goes all the way that direction where
3:01
does it end like what hotel does it end
3:03
at I think Mandalay Bay would be the
3:05
Mandalay Bay you could probably do a
3:07
little strip stuff too I don't know
3:08
we're just we're just kind of winging it
3:10
my favorite thing about the entire intro
3:12
I just did is this is unescapable so you
3:14
have this iconic sign where you have the
3:17
iconic Stratosphere or Strat and then
3:20
you got this little sign this is you
3:21
can't escape this
3:27
oh he did alert that it did alert that
3:27
motorcycle though that he needs to merge
3:28
so it's good it's here oh it has a name
3:30
the newly opened Gateway observation
3:33
deck the wind
3:34
has already started to kind of tear it
3:37
apart it's only been open like a week
3:45
don't walk under this this is Vegas you
3:45
want good luck here not bad luck right
3:47
yeah you want good luck here not bad
3:49
luck don't walk underneath they say it's
3:51
bad luck to walk underneath a ladder
3:53
like that there is an internet cafe
3:56
across the street if you need to check
3:57
some Wi-Fi or check check something on
4:00
the online there's an internet cafe they
4:01
have wireless printing then over here
4:04
you can get a pretend wedding photo for
4:08
thirty five dollars the Little Chapel of
4:10
hearts
4:12
but just says Elvis it says Elvis right
4:15
there
4:20
I always think of Back to the Future too
4:20
whenever I see something like this I got
4:22
married at the chapel oh love this
4:25
International this Boutique has gone
4:27
International
4:28
I don't even know if it's open though
4:30
like that it's all boarded up
4:40
right up here you were saying is the
4:40
world's largest gift shop or Vegas's
4:42
largest gift shop
4:44
worlds but it's definitely Las Vegas I
4:46
want to check that out it does say
4:48
world's largest gift shop Bonanza gifts
4:53
and souvenirs get a sign
4:56
writes it down in stone world's largest
4:59
gift shop right there
5:01
Stratosphere off in the distance a
5:04
general store
5:05
gift shop mini market liquor store
5:09
and
5:10
with a lot of things in Vegas
5:13
Elvis they just put Elvis on everything
5:15
I think that's just like their selling
5:17
point is there any other place they've
5:18
ever been that has Elvis more
5:19
prominently featured no I mean you've
5:21
been to Memphis is it like this that's
5:23
true Memphis would probably overtake
5:25
Vegas but this is on par
5:27
we're just putting the name Elvis it
5:29
doesn't even say what Elvis it just says
5:30
it just says Elvis and out front is a
5:33
zoltar machine right over here kind of
5:36
similar to the one in big but I think in
5:38
big it was a Zoltan with an N not an R
5:43
Zoltan oh
5:46
think of it
5:48
I don't think I've ever seen like a
5:50
stopper like this for a car that's this
5:52
lengthy before
5:54
it's like takes up two spots I know
5:56
that's very unusual and probably
5:58
something that no one would really point
6:00
out but that's different
6:03
have you ever seen usually it's cut down
6:05
right why is that funny
6:08
it is a Pappy machine what makes this
6:11
one unusual Pappy doesn't just talk to
6:14
you and give you like a fortune he will
6:16
crush a penny
6:18
I don't think I've ever seen a Papi
6:19
machine that has a souvenir Penny like
6:21
this see if I got a dollar I might not
6:24
have a dollar I think I don't know if I
6:25
have are you in there happy Crusher
6:28
painting form I am I gotta get something
6:31
shot
6:33
all right I had to break a 20 inside the
6:36
world's largest gift shop and now it's
6:39
time for Pappy to crush a little penny
6:42
for me you're gonna crush a penny for me
6:44
Pappy
6:45
I'm trying to decide which one I should
6:46
get
6:47
maybe probably the just the Classic
6:49
signage there yeah I like that one
6:51
that's probably the good one right all
6:52
right so you put the dollar in
6:56
there it goes
6:56
classic signage why bear oh I'm happy
7:00
hey and welcome to Pappy's pennies now
7:04
you go ahead and pick out a design and
7:07
step back those old Pappy's gonna crush
7:09
and stamp a unique design in that Benny
7:12
right here for you go ahead pick out
7:14
your design all right
7:16
put going for it give it to me Pappy
7:25
look Pappy's got a five dollar bill
7:25
there and his uh
7:27
in his pocket
7:28
he's pretty serious about this he is
7:30
yeah
7:32
this is so awesome wait it's not working
7:40
what the heck Papi Papi ripped me off
7:40
happy
7:47
he's Vegas Folk
7:47
dang it Pappy you had a
7:54
oh no
7:54
Pappy's a thief you already down a
7:56
dollar I know
7:58
I didn't even walk under that ladder all
8:00
right that was a fail all right now it's
8:02
time to go up in the stratosphere
8:05
let me get some coffee too okay we have
8:07
paid the 19 per person admission fee
8:11
for locals you showed your local ID so
8:14
19 for locals however there was a four
8:16
dollar service charge
8:18
a convenience fee they call this so 15
8:21
dollars
8:22
and if you're if you have a guest room
8:24
out of town the local can get the
8:25
discount for both people
8:26
19 of the four dollar convenience fee
8:28
but this is kind of neat it shows Statue
8:30
of Liberty is only 305 feet Space Needle
8:33
in Seattle which I've been up in many
8:35
times 605 feet
8:38
and the stratosphere is
8:40
1149 feet nearly twice the Space Needle
8:44
and the Space Needle is tall
8:47
ER I was there recently yeah within the
8:49
last couple months all right oh and
8:52
that's gonna be okay how do we get up
8:53
there we take the elevator yeah
8:55
we won
8:56
we're gonna take the stairs
9:06
don't worry baby good how are you thank
9:06
you thank you welcome to this route
9:08
thank you thank you
9:10
I'm taking you guys level 108 21 miles
9:14
per hour 30.
9:16
three floors per second wow
9:20
level 108 is the interview and we have
9:22
accomplished the where are you going why
9:24
are you trying to go up there you want
9:26
to get higher than we already are
9:28
you're already tall enough up here yeah
9:30
here we go all right are you trying to
9:31
look down the strip put a strip down
9:33
here it is Breezy and Gusty and windy
9:35
out here but you can get quite the you
9:39
get quite the view around the greater
9:41
Las Vegas area from up top here and
9:44
there's like a ride
9:46
of like a drop tower or a launch Tower
9:48
up here too but it's not running at the
9:50
moment that is that's crazy
9:53
if you've done that before really that's
9:56
what I've done a couple of times it's
9:57
called Big Shot yeah but the other two I
10:00
have never done don't they have one that
10:01
like leans over the side that's so scary
10:03
no I'm good I'm good on that I would be
10:05
so I don't know
10:07
that would be that would be pretty
10:08
scared that Circus Circus down there I
10:11
recognize that one
10:13
I recognize a lot of this I stayed at
10:15
Circus Circus like 10 years ago I think
10:16
when I came through here the first time
10:18
we got Westgate over to the side here
10:23
man it is windy all right I found the
10:26
ride that is really really I mean this
10:29
is like so this launches you out onto
10:31
this beam right here and then drops you
10:35
over the side so you're like kind of
10:38
like going down towards the ground yeah
10:41
no thanks uh yeah I don't know if I
10:43
would I don't know if I would do that
10:44
you get on that ride vehicle and it kind
10:46
of launches you to the end and then just
10:48
buckles downward
10:51
thinking about it kind of freaked me out
10:53
a little bit when I went to lean on this
10:55
this turns see how it's like turning
10:57
right here and I thought I was like
10:59
sliding over the side now granted I
11:01
would have just fallen down here but
11:03
this I don't know if that's supposed to
11:04
turn are they supposed to turn
11:09
yeah they spin
11:11
so if I was to put my coffee on there it
11:13
would just go right off the side
11:16
why do they do that
11:17
maybe some people can't put anything up
11:19
people probably put their cameras up
11:21
there okay but then it would slide off
11:24
weird the iconic Vegas Strip
11:28
right here from way up tall now the
11:30
interesting thing is this is twice the
11:33
height of the Seattle Space Needle but
11:35
like it's kind of weird when you're like
11:37
once you're already high up you don't
11:39
feel like you're twice as tall up it's I
11:41
don't know if that makes any sense
11:42
Heights are kind of a weird thing like
11:45
once you're already past your comfort
11:46
level it's all just kind of the same
11:49
like I don't feel like I'm twice as tall
11:51
but I guess I have according to the
11:53
diagram and all that
12:01
it's nice to enjoy a very warm coffee or
12:01
piping
12:02
the beverage above the Vegas Strip
12:07
it's nice all right I didn't realize
12:09
these what these were until Danny just
12:11
told me you jump off of here it's like a
12:13
bungee Style
12:15
and then they just like pull you back up
12:17
oh oh you go you go all the way the
12:20
bottom no this takes you all the way to
12:23
the bottom no
12:25
really
12:27
you just like scaffold the side of the
12:29
building like a window washer
12:35
I want to just show how windy it is up
12:35
here too that thing is just spinning
12:37
around rapidly
12:44
it's moving all right there's another
12:44
ride up here which right now is not open
12:46
at this moment but basically you sit on
12:48
this little like kind of like ride
12:49
vehicle or this little hand crane takes
12:52
you out over the ledge it just kind of
12:55
dangles you from over you know how many
12:58
was it 1000 feet up
13:00
over a thousand feet
13:03
in the air ah yeah I don't know it's
13:07
almost like a swing of some sort right
13:09
it spins around
13:16
oh my boy have you ever done that and
13:16
from way up here I can see the monorail
13:18
down there pulling into the station of
13:20
the monorail platform pulling in the
13:21
station from way up here right there now
13:24
back down to ground level about I don't
13:26
know three quarters of a mile an eighth
13:28
of a mile less than a mile from the
13:30
stratosphere right over there you can
13:33
see peeking up over that awning sign
13:35
says the punk rock museum
13:37
right here next to Little Darlings where
13:40
they have thousands of beautiful girls
13:42
and three ugly ones
13:45
I just kind of kind of walk up at least
13:47
we can get a just get a little video of
13:49
the sign
13:54
it's kind of neat though yeah check it
13:54
out the punk rock museum
14:05
all right
14:07
opening day update opening on update on
14:12
opening that's what it says the punk
14:14
rock museum unfortunately a delay in the
14:16
permitting process we're not able to
14:18
move forward with our soft opening on
14:20
March 10th we can't wait to show you
14:22
everything inside well I'm just
14:23
paraphrasing everything we just have to
14:26
wait a little bit longer tickets are
14:27
available for April 1st so evidently the
14:30
permitting will be fine by April 1st
14:33
hopefully no fooling
14:36
oh that's right April before right oh
14:39
I mean Fat Mike from NOFX is the one
14:41
that kind of came up with this idea and
14:44
if anyone has never fooled anyone
14:46
it's Cokey the Clown
14:48
with fat Microsoft side project you ever
14:50
hear that you ever hear that yeah he did
14:52
a he did a clown side project where he
14:54
fooled everyone he was like a he would
14:56
go out you know he would have been a
14:57
clown of fool people so hopefully this
14:59
still does open on April 1st now is this
15:02
an old tour van right here are they
15:04
gonna have like a tour van or is this
15:06
just like a maintenance vehicle yeah it
15:08
almost kind of looks like the the book
15:09
The Green Day bookmobile from back in
15:11
the day before the dookie dies
15:19
there are some construction guys over
15:19
here but yeah it's not open
15:24
area of town would this be called
15:31
um I don't know behind the stratosphere
15:31
so behind the stratosphere
15:34
I mean it's not on the strip and it's
15:36
not Fremont
15:48
definitely you can kind of peek in the
15:48
window you can see everything's not
15:50
quite ready in fact they put stuff
15:52
online there's some guys over there
15:53
doing some maintenance work and whatnot
15:56
but just a couple days ago they were
15:58
putting up flyers for the main entrance
15:59
wall in
16:01
bicycles over here too
16:14
I will not be able to come back for the
16:14
opening but one day I'll be able to go
16:16
in there I was kind of hoping it would
16:18
work out but it didn't work out for me
16:20
okay this is for posterity at least like
16:22
when we come back well you live here so
16:24
you'll probably be back before I'll be
16:26
back because I don't want to be back in
16:27
Vegas after this after this trip
16:29
get to keep me updated I will you gotta
16:32
try to come out on April 1st I don't
16:34
know I don't know I mean I'm definitely
16:36
gonna come around that's opening days
16:37
yeah for sure oh they're also doing a
16:39
thing where you can book tours with guys
16:41
from different bands girls from
16:43
different bands and they can give you
16:45
the tour so that'd be kind of neat you
16:46
could go have someone from one of your
16:49
favorite bands show you around
16:51
Fat Mike yeah monkey from the attics
16:53
it's the one that I was really open for
16:55
I think that Mike's all sold out like
16:57
immediately sold out that would be a
16:59
cool one Joe escalanti from the vandals
17:01
that'd be a cool one
17:03
smelly from NOFX is doing what bunch of
17:05
people are doing yeah
17:06
yeah so that's something that's
17:07
something to think of you're gonna have
17:08
to come back and do a tour yeah I don't
17:10
know if I'll be able to make it back
17:11
here for a while
17:13
I just watched your video when you when
17:15
you finally do a video here but for now
17:17
all we have to do is just look through
17:19
the gate
17:21
how's it going man
17:23
yeah I wish that I opened up sooner
17:26
all right just talked to a guy who's
17:27
kind of working on the property and he
17:30
kind of gave me some info he said
17:31
basically there's a fire marshal issue
17:33
but he said at some point they're going
17:34
to have a skate ramp here they're going
17:36
to have concerts not necessarily inside
17:38
they're gonna have a tattoo studio
17:40
inside
17:50
that's pretty wild I wonder if like fat
17:51
Mike would marry you what if he has his
17:52
mind if he's like an ordained minister
17:53
or not this is going to be the Beer
17:56
Garden right over here and he also said
17:57
they don't know if they're going to keep
17:58
this building but they're going to have
18:00
parking over here and they're going to
18:02
have concerts out in the on the side
18:04
over here at some point not not
18:06
immediately and the skate ramp has not
18:08
been built yet
18:14
that's pretty exciting
18:14
Building looks really cool
18:21
I like the font
18:21
it's kind of like Bad Religion fought
18:23
that looks like Bad Religion font that's
18:25
probably what they went with
18:27
far from how can hell be any worse
18:30
I guess it used to be like an old
18:32
antique store
18:33
because you got the antique signage
18:34
right here I hope they keep this and
18:36
utilize this for something else but I'm
18:38
thinking like you know use this this
18:40
Relic here signage and put punk rock
18:42
museum on the side but that's going to
18:43
be the Beer Garden right over there and
18:45
they're doing the tours in April but I
18:47
would imagine they probably want I was
18:48
talking to him too he was I was saying
18:49
probably want to have it open by the end
18:51
of May for Punk Rock Bowling because
18:53
that's when there's like an insurgence
18:55
of punk rock you ever been to Punk Rock
18:57
Bowling before I've been to Hungary many
18:59
times
19:00
so much fun yeah they just take over
19:02
downtown and it's just a blast we used
19:05
to come even when we lived in La we
19:06
would travel hang out for the weekend
19:08
that's when they'll probably have maybe
19:11
the venue ready Maybe
19:14
possibly I would imagine most their
19:16
business is going to come from the Punk
19:17
Rock Bowling crowd
19:18
it just kind of makes sense you
19:20
definitely definitely want to have it
19:21
open by then
19:23
but all the tours are slated for April
19:27
I would imagine probably April 1st yeah
19:30
so I want to just kind of show this now
19:32
because this building might be
19:33
demolished maybe there'll be a stage
19:34
there next time I'm here now back over
19:36
to strip gonna get a bite to eat at
19:38
pepper mill
19:40
or maybe it's the pepper mill either way
19:42
the pepper mill
19:49
you wanted me to eat here last time I
19:49
was here
19:51
what kind of food do they have
19:53
Diner Cafe so it's like a kind of
19:55
old-timey Diner
19:57
it's iconic though from the 1970s so it
20:00
started in the 70s original building
20:02

20:16

house and this is what we're dealing
22:00
with I'm with the pepper pepper mill
22:02
Burger which is on like a which is like
22:04
a Sourdough type of sourdough type of
22:08
breading here and I noticed that they
22:10
started getting fries I went with the
22:11
potato salad I said can I order an extra
22:13
potato salad he said heck yeah you can
22:15
order an extra potato salad here and
22:17
they also brought the mustard and mayo
22:19
over here would you get roast beef
22:21
um
22:22
okay so you're gonna dip
22:31
and dip it it's good that's fine yeah
22:31
and you got some fries there I went with
22:34
uh no fries I want to double on the
22:36
potato salad I don't know why I just I
22:38
also love the Boost here that's the the
22:40
boots are very very soft you got the
22:43
meat down in here you got the lettuce
22:44
you got the tomato and I also went with
22:46
uh some cheese there in the middle as
22:48
well and what kind of I can't remember
22:51
what kind of cheese I even got I went
22:52
with provolone cheese that's what I got
22:54
and if you look at the ceiling there's a
22:56
mirrored ceiling so you can look at
22:58
yourself while you're eating
23:05
are those petunias they might be they
23:06
could be you were wondering what kind of
23:07
flowers they were honestly what kind of
23:09
flowers are they they're probably
23:10
petunias
23:12
to be honest with you I don't even know
23:14
what a petunia is it's just
23:16
how great are these boots yeah they're
23:19
amazing I know they're so soft
23:22
I don't want to get any mustard though
23:24
like I wonder if any Mustard's ever been
23:25
spilled on these boots I don't want to
23:27
be the one
23:37
all right that was good
23:37
kind of glad I didn't order an appetizer
23:38
I've been I'm full amount but I'd be
23:40
uncomfortably full
23:42
I got an appetizer as well but I did
23:44
order double I doubled down on the
23:47
salad that's probably
23:49
not
23:52
also like the little Lounge in the back
23:53
of the Fireside Lounge kind of really
23:55
kind of unique looking area with a red
23:58
boost and whatnot it's pretty cool back
24:01
in the very back of the Peppermill
24:07
it is windy I don't know if you notice
24:07
but in the lounge it said strict dress
24:09
code required
24:11
yeah we both walked in we both walked in
24:14
on our t-shirts
24:17
that's all right it worked out
24:20
we're just taking it so strictly
24:22
enforced you don't think so yeah we were
24:25
only in there for like two seconds well
24:27
a minute
24:28
you said event Sevenfold film a music
24:30
video in there
24:36
all right I have to check that out
24:36
I've seen the video
24:39
Fireside loud
24:42
here inside the pepper mill that is now
24:45
obscured signed by that tree we're now
24:48
taking a tram or a trolley I guess it's
24:51
just basically a transportation device
24:53
that gets you over towards the Mirage
24:56
we're now going over from Treasure
24:58
Island
24:59
we parked there and now taking the
25:01
trolley tram it's not really a monorail
25:03
it's just on a beam going over to the
25:06
Mirage
25:08
that dumps out right here
25:11
in this area you can practice with a
25:13
stand clear automatic doors and the
25:16
Mirage is right up top there
25:20
The Beatles are protruding up saying
25:22
love now inside the Mirage there is this
25:25
little Atrium area here with this Dome
25:27
kind of like a sky like a sky light type
25:31
of area and then there's a waterfall
25:33
that says has the words Mirage now this
25:36
hotel will be going away it's not going
25:38
to be the Mirage I think after this year
25:40
it's going to be be changing and also
25:42
around the back is six feet and roid's
25:44
Secret Garden but it is temporarily
25:46
closed so six feet Road Secret Garden I
25:49
don't know if it's closed permanently or
25:51
if it's just closed temporarily but it
25:53
is definitely not open back tucked away
25:55
by the pool area and the weather's kind
25:58
of cool on Christmas there's nobody in
26:00
the pool from what I could tell by the
26:02
secret garden you see a bird yeah where
26:04
up
26:10
in the tree
26:13
all right I see the bird now it's right
26:16
there in the center of the screen
26:17
there's just a lonely bird up there in
26:19
the branches here at the
26:21
over here is the uh the waffle smash
26:25
mobile right there so it was part of
26:27
waffle smash mobile
26:29
so evidently according to Danny they're
26:31
going to be tearing this out that's
26:33
going to be a big guitar once it becomes
26:35
the Hard Rock
26:37
where's uh have they announced a date on
26:39
really for the Hard Rock already took
26:42
over so this no longer belongs to MDM
26:45
but they're keeping the name the Mirage
26:46
but they haven't quite announced when
26:48
this will be coming down I think they
26:50
want to keep it up for Formula One
26:52
when that happens at the end of the year
26:54
there could be no more Lake here it'll
26:56
just be ground in the guitar that's what
26:58
it looks like here in the photos but
27:01
kind of like the Hard Rock Resort in
27:03
Florida so the the yeah
27:10
to get your last look at the volcano
27:10
this is the volcano here
27:13
does it ever erupt yeah it does every
27:16
night
27:18
wow that's cool you think the guitar
27:21
will erupt probably not
27:25
probably interrupting guitar
27:28
baby
27:33
oh the shuttle
27:33
it runs on this beam is like a steel
27:35
rope
27:36
that pulls it from one side or the other
27:40
it's kind of hard to tell on camera but
27:41
it's a steel beam is moving and it's
27:43
pulling this thing right in
27:52
inside Treasure Island now there is a
27:52
woolly mammoth tusk that has been carved
27:55
over the last 4 500 years you can see it
27:59
right here but you can just see the
28:00
detail that's carved into this all the
28:03
way up the side of the Tusk and then
28:06
into the the base of it as well that is
28:11
it's pretty wild I really like the
28:12
theming in here it's kind of neat got
28:14
the little balconies up top balcony up
28:17
there and here is a motorcycle of some
28:20
sort over here in front of the in front
28:22
of the gambling machine now out in front
28:23
of Treasure Island is a pirate ship over
28:25
here which hasn't been used to do shows
28:27
you say back in the 90s they stopped
28:29
doing the shows yeah probably early 90s
28:31
uh the Battle of Buccaneer Bay it was
28:34
first called when they first opened TI
28:35
and then it turned into
28:37
uh the Sirens of TI Sirens of TI
28:42
there's also a ship over there that was
28:43
also used in the show but right now the
28:45
ships are just sitting here not being
28:47
used just for appearances look pretty
28:50
dang cool though it would be cool to see
28:52
like a pirate pirate ship duel back in
28:55
the 90s
28:56
seemed like a wasted opportunity the
28:58
fact that these are just sitting here
28:59
not being used they just got really
29:01
windy again you see the signs like
29:03
blowing over there
29:05
pretty cool as The Crows Nest up top the
29:08
Crow's Nest here that was a senior frog
29:11
oh dressed like a pirate he's got a he's
29:13
got a hook for a hand this is a very
29:15
unique gambling experience it's like
29:17
miniature horses that run around the
29:19
track like little metal horses you could
29:21
place your bets on here like you're
29:23
watching a rail race but they're not
29:24
real horses it's a little plastic or
29:27
metal horses
29:30
they're just going around
29:35
ever see anything like that it's like
29:35
number five is taking the lead
29:38
yep number five is taking the lead
29:40
number five is the winner have now
29:42
ventured over to the center at Spring
29:44
Mountain
29:45
this little strip mall of sorts you got
29:47
to go up to a place called The Golden
29:49
Tiki
29:51
the golden Tiki is supposed to be like
29:54
one of the the coolest tiki bars around
29:56
my friend Jay saw the California Jay big
29:59
in the tiki community
30:02
he found out I was in Vegas messaged me
30:05
said you gotta go by the golden Tiki
30:08
and I had forgotten about it I knew
30:10
about this place and I'm kind of glad he
30:11
reminded me because the golden Tiki is
30:14
kind of iconic as a place I've never
30:15
been in before
30:17
24-hour exotic foods cocktails gaming
30:22
is it open 24 hours it's the sign set is
30:24
over 24 hours welcome explorers to the
30:27
golden Tiki
30:29
tours departing daily inside
30:36
it's not honestly I'd heard of the
30:36
golden I heard those places golden Tiki
30:38
for years but did not realize it was
30:40
basically like in a strip mall
30:43
like in a full-on strip mall I thought
30:44
it was going to be like their own little
30:45
stand-alone type of place
30:48
but it's not it's in like a it's on the
30:50
strip mall
30:55
the golden Tiki Las Vegas
30:58
was better than I expected it to be I
31:00
mean once you're in there you never
31:02
would realize there's basically in a
31:12
see the letters going across with
31:12
t-i-k-i
31:14
but inside we actually were able to get
31:16
Dole whips not alcoholic doe whips that
31:19
are just on par with any of the Disney
31:21
parks like if you go to Disneyland or
31:22
Disney World I'm sure it's probably the
31:25
same recipe
31:26
and not just that but there is a
31:28
plethora an incredible amount of Disney
31:32
paraphernalia and homages scattered all
31:35
through the entire inside
31:38
and so you got like a an area over here
31:40
with booths you have a bar area you got
31:43
some two-seater sections against the one
31:46
wall then you kind of walk through a big
31:48
head through the mouth into like a
31:50
pirate area
31:52
in the back just
31:54
an incredible overload of tiki goodness
31:58
and a lot of Disney nods I don't even
32:01
know how many Disney nods there would be
32:02
in there but you can definitely see
32:05
is definitely very prevalent in fact I
32:07
would even I would even say this is far
32:09
superior
32:11
to the tiki bar at Disney World and at
32:14
Disneyland
32:15
you know Trader Sam's is great but this
32:16
is I think this was I think this was
32:18
actually a lot better
32:19
I mean it's hard to compare Tiki Bar
32:21
tiki bar but I would I'm no Aficionado
32:24
when it comes to Tiki but this place
32:26
was really really cool and I'm a
32:28
non-drinker so it's kind of nice to have
32:30
a non-alcoholic Dole Whip while in a
32:32
tiki bar because usually when I go to a
32:34
bar I feel kind of uncomfortable here
32:36
was just a nice Vibe yeah when next time
32:39
passing back through this area and I am
32:41
going to be in Vegas for
32:43
a couple days
32:45
all right next time you know down the
32:46
road when I'm passing like through this
32:47
area again I probably will pop in here
32:49
again have myself another doorway
32:52
pretty dang awesome the golden Tiki
32:55
right here in Vegas in fact you can see
32:56
there's the wind Hotel over there
32:59
on the strip down the distance it's off
33:00
the strip but you can see the strip from
33:02
here
33:03
and that's gonna do it for today from
33:06
Las Vegas Nevada
33:08
it's a fun day
33:12
I'll see you in the next video the Vlog
33:12
is
33:14
over
