Stay disciplined OP, stay away from the temptations and live out the dream for those of us who dream.

Hey Trooper. Good luck in Vegas man. Love the vids. Keep em coming.

I was wondering what some of the biggest adjustments or obstacles you are facing in Vegas being out there full time- aside from obviously trying to make as much money as you can. What are some things you've learned in your time there that you would share with others thinking about doing the same thing as you?

Videos are good stuff- very real. Good luck!

yo trooper - good meeting you yesterday...keep fightin the fight brotha!

Troop... just post the videos directly into the thread.

I think you might need to change one of your sharing settings.

The obstacles I face now are very different from what they would have been 7 or more years ago. I used to like to gamble it up in the casinos. If I'd moved here 12 or more years ago I'd be on street for sure! I don't have that struggle anymore, not even a little bit.

In light of that, I'd have to say that the biggest obstacle for many people would be different from my own. You cannot get away from gambling here. It's everywhere, even the supermarket. This minute, I'm several miles from the closest large casino but I can walk right out the door of Starbucks and into several gambling establishments, one of which is just a few doors down in this strip mall.

$20 here and there at video poker is WAY TOO MUCH. It destroys people, and their chances for success, especially at poker.

Other than that, traffic is a biaaatch. The dust is terrible, so the quality of the air is wretched. If you move here, be ready to cough a lot for the first few months. If you have dry skin, you're in trouble.

Beside all of that, it's PARADISE!

Likewise for sure! We gotta do the Noodle Asia thing when you come back to town! XO Shrimp Lei Fan!!!

I tried to summarize the videos from TheTrooper97 from the start to where he is now, it's long but interesting for many people who are planning to do the same (like myself) or just want to know how things work out after time goes by.

Cliffs?

Okay, that kinda ****ed up the thread, I hope you guys don't mind

I wanted to see them all so... from here on out as troop goes forward, one at a time is cool and the gang.

I couldn't get them to embed using html... what did you do?

Cliff would be the channel trailer, whcih didnt work in the post lolol

You really felt the need to spam 49 videos into the thread rather than just supplying his youtube account link? ....wow

People are lazy you know, now you can go watch one by one with 1 click instead of searching on the ****ty youtube vidlist.

We're on page 10 now so doesn't matter anyways

We're lazy but damn, we aint that lazy

Page 3... guys change your forum thread preferences.

LOL You are aware that you can just go to his youtube channel and see all of those video's perfectly lined up for you in chronological order?

No I'm not aware of that... lol. I tried but when doing that it's giving me the newst video to the oldest one

Let's get OT: Trooper, when is your next video coming?

You can change the order (new-old /old-new) on the top right drop down menu

Questions

What kind of car do you drive? I heard exhaust, so just curious.

Do you ever get emabrasses filming while you're walking?

Ok, so I just created a playlist on the youtube channel page that begins when I decide to move to Vegas. Go to the channel page https://www.youtube.com/user/TheTrooper97Vlog/
and just scroll down. The vids are in chronological order, oldest to newest! Theplaylist is titled "The Move to Vegas".

Btw, I realy do appreciate the positive feedback! Any suggestions are appreciated as well!

How about playing at Excalibur and making an episode purely about spinning the wheel?

That's so funny because I know the video where you heard that. I heard it too! I thought it sounded like it was me haha, but it was another car. I got a '13 Hyundai Elantra.

And yea, I do feel weird. Sometimes I wait till there's no one around. I used to only film in the car or at home and when I first got here and started filming on the street I felt REALLY strange, but I'm getting used to it. I watch other vlogs on youtube and they don't seem to mind at all.

That damn wheel takes sooooooo long to stop spinning lol. I've only played there once. Everybody was wasted, which is good. I lost though!

Hehe yup it takes forever .. I got to spun it once when my AA got cracked.. lost $60 on that hand. Wheel lands on $75 splash table. Had to fold pre with TJo againts 2 shoves. Dude who cracked my aces wins the splashed pot again.

I think it's a fun little extra, and attracts a bunch of fishes (like me) so probabaly +EV

I figured it was a matter of time until trooper was brought up on 2p2. I really enjoy your videos. Good luck with everything!
