Very well put together video. A lot of work went into that and I'm not surprised it's getting a lot of views.

He's been doing videos for about 8-9 years and it's cool to see how much better they've gotten. He's intertwined into the other Vegas lifestyle vloggers like Pompsie, Norma Geli, and Jaycation. They're a fun bunch that all make great, yet much different styles of Vegas lifestyle vlogging.

It was pretty obvious you were referring to the vlogger in the post immediately above!! It wasn't a case for Sherlock Holmes to work out who the vlogger in question was!

Thanks for posting that. I haven't watched any of Jacob's videos in quite some time, but I really found that very interesting.

Regarding Jacob's dangerous areas videos...

The one behind the Strat used to be extremely dangerous but the last time I had to drive there it was just closed down and boarded old apartment complexes. There is nothing dangerous about those places because there aren't even people in those old apartments. They are nothing but just big blocks of real estate that are empty.

The area across the Mandalay is no big deal. Lots of tourists walk by there. Maybe if you purposely go away from the street in the middle of the night, maybe there would be homeless people. But the areas close to the Welcome to Vegas sign and Harley Davidson are not dangerous at all.

The corner of Flamingo and Koval (where the Tupac Shrine is) is a tourist area no more or less dangerous than where the stabbing happened in front of the Wynn a few weeks ago. Sure there are homeless people but they just keep to themselves. Any average sized male tourist can easily beat them in a fight, but that has never been an issue because they just sit there. They don't even panhandle.

The one in Twain and University Drive has some of the best food in Vegas. There is a Mexican food truck, an awesome Mexican restaurant, Hawaiian fusion, and a great Indian buffet just walking distance (separated by a 24 hour laundramat) to an insane Mexican restaurant.

The truly dangerous place is the one on the Strip and Bonanza as well as the homeless area near the cemetery. But the others are probably no more dangerous than lower Manhattan, Waikiki or Hollywood Boulevard.

He said he could have done it with 4k to 6k including living expenses. He said it matter of factly.

Over the years, I have seen very many posts in these forums where someone expresses that he intends to move to Vegas on a shoestring. They probably should seek out Coach El Diesel and watch his videos. He can be their initial template.

Once they have survived a year or two then they can move on to higher limits or diversify into non-poker activities. But young single people with nothing to lose who really want to move to Vegas to play poker should definitely model Coach El Diesel for "PHASE 1 or 2" of their ambition and dream of becoming a Sin City pro.

The most dangerous place for a tourist in Vegas is in a strip club. I know multiple people including myself who have been drugged by staff and had their cards charged insane amounts. I can say for certain this happens/has happened at

Club Paradise - happened to me and a friend on St Patrick's Day, 2013. It's now closed off of flamingo and Paradise.

Palomino - I recommended a friend go there who won't talk to me to this day because he got his drink spiked by a girl and his company card ran for $6000 for "private dances". He was only there 90 minutes.

Chicas Bonitas - heard things

Treasures - heard things first hand from a friend that used to work there

Girl Collection - Mayweather's old spot. A friend's friend in his bachelor party group got roughed up and had his pockets ran by bouncers for "falling asleep in the club"

Can verify: got wasted and blacked out, had tooth knocked out, woke up with a tiger in my bathroom, and somehow got married to a stripper.

Things have gotten better in the past few years for the legal profession, with a lot of wages going up. The job that used to pay $21 an hour now pays $25/hour. I am on the "Possie List" which is a broadcast service for legal jobs. Starting wages for a LOT of positions are about $25/hour. This is especially the case if you are outside of NYC, SF, LA, Chicago. Obviously, different areas pay substantially more (corporate law at a large firm). However, if you are a graduate of a middle of the road school, or even a lower ranked one, you simply are not going to get a job in "big law". Those firms just don't even come to hire grads of those schools.

If you think I'm making things up. Here is a link to an ABA article....The lowest paid person in the courthouse is the PA. (lower than janitors).

Do you always post 8-year-old articles to try to prove a point?

That article was from 2014 and stated that the starting salary for ADA's in Mass at that time was $37,500.

However, in 2018, the starting salary was raised to $46k. https://www.masslive.com/politics/20...tain_mass.html

And then in 2020, the starting salary for ADA's was raised to $56k.

https://budget.digital.mass.gov/summ...ation/03406653

It could be even higher now. I also want to note that in each case, these were just starting salaries.

I don't know much of anything about the pay scale for attorneys in the judicial system in Massachusetts, but having worked for over 25 years in the Federal Judiciary, I can tell you that virtually all attorneys working in the Judicial Branch make a hell of a lot more than that.

I really doubt El diesel has 100k if this is true, hes only made 140k overall total, hes trying to save 10k a year if making 40k, which he has never made that once yet in his career. Having 100k just doesnt seem likely to me given he would have had to save 2/3 of the amount hes won overall. Assuming at least part of the 17k he started with is from that 140k to begin with.


I say that as if that was the first clue the guy didnt have a 100k+ net worth

She wanted to watch the super bowl instead of Heat? He's better off.

2015 was the first time he moved to Vegas, right? About the time he got out of law school? Then he moved somewhere else and moved back. Maybe he had more money when he moved back.
