My Daughter always wanted to be a "vlogger" when she grew up...turns out so did I LOL. We intend to vlog our family trips and I will vlog my solo trips to Las Vegas. We are learning as we go along so hopefully you will bear with us.
#shorts, Are we being screwed in New Zealand!
I was pretty shocked at the price of food in the UK compared to New Zealand

Stu and Poppy's Vlog - Summary Of Week One at the Disney Parks
Looks like an amazing trip over Christmas! The history is amazing to see, glad you got to spend it with your family. The recreation photo had me rolling!
Thanks for watching Casey, yes the history is great, especially for my children as there is very little ancient human history over here in NZ. I can confirm that William Shakespeare mark 2 was not conceived :)
Belated merry Christmas 😊
@@metravelvlogs201 thanks so much, they do Christmas so much better in the uk than we do over here. Happy new year to you
Get yourselves to a Greggs! Never mind a Pizza Express! 😅💁🏼♀️
Correct 😂
@@Matrix2021 I was actually pretty impressed with the food but then New Zealand’s idea of a good pizza is dominoes lol.
@@Badstu I won't hear a bad word about Dominoes 🤣.
@@metravelvlogs201 LOL, far better than Pizza Hut
Hope Tilly is doing much better now! The excitement on their faces while eating donuts was priceless and boy then things just went downhill! still made some memories they will never forget!
@@wallstreettovegas she is fully recovered thanks Casey. I told them afterwards it’s not the times that nothing happens it’s the times when it all goes wrong that are most memorable. Thank goodness it all worked out in the end it could’ve been so much worse! It felt like I was $500 down on mo mummy and just raided the safe to try and fill the pots, it was a hiding to nothing lol
Thanks for the nice compliments! Too bad the machine didn’t co-operate with the train bonus. “Harder than a teenager in a strip club” 😂😂😂😂. We’ve enjoyed your series so far. Keep it up!🎉
That was a great night that started off so badly with bloody all aboard lol. Thanks so much for enduring my trip it means a lot to me to share it with you.
Hi I'm taking my 8 year old and just wondered the rules on eating out. How late can we go out to eat. We have a late flight getting in so would like to eat something decent before settling down for the night. I'm just wondering if it differs to the UK. I don't mean 10pm late. I've been to vegas a lot but before I had my daughter, I'm going for something specific but want to do things with her too.
Hi, it depends where you are staying but most places have food halls now with some decent options. If you are going more high end then you can take kids in the restaurants no probs but it will cost you an Arm and a leg. There is plenty to do for an 8 year old, she will have a blast. If you let me know where you are thinking of staying I can be more specific but off the top of my head, the tournament of kings at Excalibur, the play area at Luxor, the aquarium at mandalay and the fun dungeon at excalibur. More mid strip there is the museum of illusions. Anyway if you give me an idea of roughly where you are staying I can give you more info
Thank you! We will be staying at NYNY
@@sharonperry6208 That's Perfect !! The South end is definitely more kid friendly. There are some good food options in the "New York area" and it is great to walk round and away from the casino, upstairs from there you have an arcade if your kid likes video games too and the roller coaster if she meets the height requirements. There is the bridge that links to MGM (which doesn't have much for kids but does have the monorail station if you want to get the tram up to the North end of the strip for a look round Circus circus and the posh places like Wynn and Fontaine Bleu. Another bridge walkway takes you over to the Excalibur where there is loads for kids, the 4D cinema, The Tournament of Kings, The fun dungeon and of course its a castle !! From there you can go the indoor walkway to Luxor where the play area is and Mandalay Bay where the Aquarium is. She will LOVE IT !!!
@@Badstu that is really helpful thank you. I think she would love a ride on the monorail so circus circus sounds like a great idea. Can you recommend any shows that are suitable?
My kids loved the tournament of kings at the Excalibur. I toyed with the idea of a magic show or a cirque show but I think they may have got a little bored. There are a lot of shows, if you go on the mgm web site it will tell you whether there is adult content.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 love that mate !!! 😂😂😂
Told you that put a statue up in your honour lol
I really enjoyed it stu.. you've got a great personality for vloggin... keep doin it mate... sort that volume out and you've cracked it ... 😁🇬🇧👍
Thanks for watching mate. Yeah I think I just gotta shout lol, never thought I was a mumbler but the camera never lies !!!
Nearly every trip iv ever been on i iron out every penny !!!, never come home up or even close to even ... never !!!!! Great set of vlogs Stu.. 👍🇬🇧😁
Yup it’s there to be spent and enjoyed, if I had any left I would never leave!!!
I love the deal no deal game.. never played that ...shout out 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Couldn’t walk past that Route 66 sign without a mention !!!!
End if the nite even... that's a result Stu ..Good luck mate... that travel day sounds a killer 👍🇬🇧😁
Gonna watch em all stu .. Cheers mate 😁🇬🇧👍
Aww thanks mate although I won’t blame you if you fall asleep for one or two lol, they aren’t as good as yours!!
Wow I’ve never seen that many Minis on the screen at once 😮
Yeah I really was a mini magnet lol.
I stayed in one of these rooms last year, was pleasantly surprised by it. Also in my opinion one of the most comfortable beds in Vegas. 👍🏻
I have stayed at the Excalibur the last 5 times I have been to vegas, never had a bad experience or room but that was the best one so far, not like yours at mandalay but still pretty good.
What a great day in Vegas! That run in Mandalay Bay followed by dancing drum hit is what we all hope for! Great job!
Thanks it was a great session for sure although I suffered a bit the next day lol
Sticky 😼bonus 🤣🤣🤣
I never end up remembering any of the ‘real’ terms so there are always plenty of stuisms lol
You’re certainly right about gambling while solo. It can get away from you pretty quickly if you’re not careful. $300 at $2.50 a press could easily be gone in 10 minutes. I’ve done it! If you keep vlogging you’ll find that there are always other vlogging community people to hang out with while you’re there. That really helps to control the gambling. Bonus is that they’re all great people!
Yes when I do the next solo trip I will certainly be trying to restrict gambling to the evening a bit more and get out and about during the day
I am really enjoying the series. Love the days where yesterdays wins negate the losses, really takes the sting out of it.
Thanks for watching along, day five was my favorite day, I hit one machine for 4 hours and it just wont let me leave!!!!
@@Badstu Oh I have been there and its a great place to be. 😀
Stunner of an early win, nice one.
It was crazy, always get the mini when the pot closes on Dancing Drums so I didn't even think of filming it, then BANG LOL.
Good job Stu! What a cracking view from Excalibur, you really could see the majority of Vegas. Nice wrap up too. Subbed and looking forward to the rest
Thank you so much for watching, that was my seventh stay at the dirty castle and not once has it disappointed
Loving the on the street walk and talks! Those are my favorite parts of any Vegas vlogs.
Thanks mate, I wanted to try and make it about the memories as this one was a special trip
Yayyy Stu is in Vegas!!!! Impressed with how quick you got the vlog up! 3 hours in customs!? Nooo! Really loved the wrap up, happy to hear you got your pina coladas! Few good wins too, Huff n Puff with 100x you bet on mansions! Looking forward to the next! ❤
Awww thanks so much for having a watch. It feels a bit surreal after all these years of watching you lol. There’s a funny one coming up, day 4 I think when I am so drunk I got lost getting from mandalay back to Excalibur!!! I have to get them on quick as I have a couple of days off work and then it becomes too hard so I am hoping to have them all uploaded by the weekend. Thanks again for inspiring me, one day we will do the shots and slots together lol, now THAT could get messy !!!
Great day 2, Mansion bonus early doors, cant loose after that 😂
I had to lose $300 on bloody Mo Mummy first though LOL, swings and roundabouts though. Thanks for watching
When will they open up some direct flights between Auckland and Vegas, I wonder 🤔 I think there's an untapped market to make y'all "Vegas's Other Hawaii" 🤷 Nice first episode, looking forward to more
Not enough of us over here lol. Thanks for watching, I think I will try to go via San Fran next time as customs is better there. Having said that if I had to do LA every time I went to vegas I would still do it, I would stand in a line for ten hours if it meant getting there!!
Unlucky getting the mansion feature on the smaller bet, but still a decent result Stu! I’ve been so confused, I didnt expect this strong British accent thinking you were born n bred NZ, but then at 21:21 the kiwi accent shone through 😅😅.
Hey Kev!! I was born in the uk and moved to nz 20 years ago. It is funny though whenever I talk in ‘public’ I seem to defer to my old lingo. You can take the Pom out of England but you can’t take the England out of the Pom lol. Thanks for watching, it seems weird after all these years of watching you guys that I am finally doing my own vlog. I get a mansion bonus on 5 cent later, not a Bridger level win but it was pretty good.
Good bonuses on day one, sets you up for a trip like nothing else. Found the Vlog very entertaining, subbed and will be following along. 😀
Thanks so much. I had a great start to the trip but a rough end as far as gambling goes. You have to take the rough with the smooth in vegas though and enjoy the losing when it happens. I really appreciate you watching
@@Badstu Can't beat those long term percentages. Just got to hope losses are negated by comps. 😀
@@metravelvlogs201 yup, my main aim of every trip is to get the next one comped and I feel I did enough to do that. A budget is meant to be spent and enjoyed and that’s what I did although I do regret tipping twenty bucks to my server in mandalay when I was on a streak lol, she got me sooo drunk 😹😹
We’ve not stayed in Excalibur so it was fun seeing your posh room. I’ve been Wonka’d many times 😂. You had some nice slot wins - we’ve just subscribed and are looking forward to watching more! Cheers 🥂 -Gillian
Thanks so much for watching Gillian. I am a big advocate for Excalibur, it’s cheap but it’s cheerful.
Really good first vlog, you had some decent bonuses. Looking forward to seeing more of your trip. Oh and immigration in LA is the worst!
Immigration sucked the life out of me for sure. Thanks for watching Rach, it means a lot to me. I started off really well actually, I had literally hours of bonuses in the first few days I could’ve uploaded but they were either small or my finger was covering the camera lol
@@Badstu the more you do it, the more you’ll get use to where to point the camera and check where your fingers are 😂 I was very lucky on my last trip, I got shuffled though an express crew line at immigration, through in 10 minutes. I bet I never have that luck again.
Good vlog mate, enjoyed it and have subscribed as I’m now looking forward to more. 👍🏻🎰🎰🐷
Thanks so much, I really enjoyed making them, I realise they are a bit raw but I wanted to give it a go. Thank you for your support it means a lot.
Good job! The slot play filming wasn't bad at all and nice wrap up with funny stories and personality 👍
Thanks Danny that means a lot coming from you. Day three has me staggering around and out of my face lol, not sure if it’s funny or people will just feel sorry for me! Thanks again I really really appreciate it
Brilliant old footage Stu... love seeing the old slots... remember the MIB one !! Iv got loads of old footage from early 2000,s after seeing this i need to dig it up.. filmed on a sony palmcorder with the little cassette !!! Cheers 👍🇬🇧😁
Yes mate, that's what that was, of course that was before vlogs existed. I still look for the old school machines, if I find the old aliens machine, or a MIB I end up sitting there most of the day. Be great to see yours, I had very few of the machines because of course back then it was weird if you just sat there and filmed a slot LOL.
Iv subscribed... great to put a face to BADSTU 😁🇬🇧👍
And what a face it is, one only a Mother could love :)
Hagrids!!!❤
That was the one ride we didn't do. The queue was 90 minutes and we just couldn't do it. We even tried going when we first got there when the ride opened and it was still 90 minutes by the time we got there. I have seen the ride and it looks very cool.
@@Badstu damn.. Best ride there. Very first thing at rope drop or last thing at night. Otherwise 90 min is a short wait.lol
Best park ever🎉❤💯
Couldn't agree more. Disney is great for kids and even as an adult it is still amazing but for pure ride experience Islands Of Adventure wins every time
Like the throwback pictures! Love to see some of the things in Vegas that are no longer there, like the lions at MGM Grand. I forgot how different slot machines used to be 😆 Really enjoyed the trip down memory lane. Thanks for sharing!
Yes that’s the thing I had forgotten. The sound those slots used to make and how they were arranged in lines.
And the lions, I always felt a bit sorry for them though. Thanks for watching

Bravo~you shared outstanding trip.
Thank you very much!
Looks like the type of family that can't wait to go to vegas
Vegas Baby !!!! Maybe I will vlog that too !!!!!!
Hey Stu! Like the house a lot! Is it an AirBnB near Disney? You are your daughter are naturals!
Its on Flipkey through Tripadvisor.co.nz but the whole of Windsor Hills are basically rented out. If you go to www.windsorhillsresortfl.com/ they have all the details there. Thanks for the kind words.
