    Jacob, the very fact that you are doing this video shows that you are a kind person with a good heart. It’s people like you that make this world a better place.

    Wow Jacob (hope you see this comment) ❤ - My husband and I watch your channel and have been “regularly” watching your newer stuff (thanks for the tier match tips - we really used them this last week) but this older video popped up on my feed and this one really was so insightful.
    My husband and I started a UA-cam channel and have gotten ourselves into the Vegas vlogging space (and somehow the Vegas content on our vlog channel has been where our audience has been growing so we have started going all in on that) - We got married in Vegas and have been debating a move out there to be closer to where we make our content especially since Vegas has been calling out to us and Arizona is just kinda being Arizona.
    I love how you mention Nevada is a very libertarian state and while left leaning, I have always felt that sense of “live and let live” among the local people that we always talk to when out filming our content. And to be 100% honest, it should be like that everywhere in the US. Be who you are, be exceptional, and as long as you aren’t harming others, who should care?
    So thank you for bringing these LGBTQ+ voices and stories to your channel. For those of us who are gay, it really is nice to see that you covered this topic through this interview (even if it is an older video).
    I realize this was an older video (love how UA-cam still recommends stuff years later), but if you do see this comment, just know that my husband and I appreciate your content and if we ever one day meet in person within the Vegas vlogging space - we owe you a huge thanks for creating awesome content and showing your allyship through this video ❤

    Great video Jacob thanks! Considering the the amount of people coming in and out of Vegas everyday, you would thing the city would have a gay 'area' for visitors to check out but it doesn't. Kudos to Senor Frogs (TI) for having the drag show on the Strip. Kudos to you for uploading the video. Disregard any of the ignorant comments that may show up. Most of us are bigger than that!

Jacob you are best You Tuber out there giving all humans the chance to express their way of life with no holds barred. Everyone has a story to tell which opens up avenues for better content and variety in your channel Jacob. I love how non-judgemental you are and inclined to present any subject that may not be the norm for a straight You Tuber to persue.

    I like living in Vegas. I moved here in 2014 from Georgia, and I find it very comfortable. The streets will eat you alive if you get caught up. My career has kept me grounded and focused here. I met my ex husband here, and we were together for several years, but he got caught up. This is a good place to live though.

    ( NEVER Seen JACOB BLUSH Cherry Red So many times in 20 minutes! LOL So yes I agree on some of this Content however I had Lived in Summerlin Vegas and Boulder Highway areas back in the 1990's and the Gay Vegas community was very ACTIVE and Alive back then. Gay night life at Gypsy, The Backdoor, The Eagle, and Flex was the most popular hangouts off the Strip. For a "First Timer" living in Vegas I highly recommend renting and sharing a room with Gay roommates in the want ads. For they will Definitely show you the Gay Community of Vegas and it's not REALLY one part of town it's very widespread. Also my friends of mine and their friends have highly recommended Mandalay Bay as more of a "Gay hangout" than most Resorts on the Strip. Thank you JACOB for this Vlog it REALLY opened my eyes to his generosity with the Vegas Gay community and thumbs up way up to Rey Rey! I will Most Definitely catch his show at the Flex!!

Excellent job... * "Jacob" and "Ray".., "Thank you for sharing the video and excellent information on the gay community in Las Vegas ! !" I thoroughly (enjoyed) the video.. On my next trip to Las Vegas.., I am going to make it a point to visit the "Flex" Nightclub and not sure, if it is a "Dive Bar'" ? * And I hope.., that I can meet "Ray" and say face-to-face.., great video, and thank you for sharing ! ! Beautiful people.., are hard to fine, these days'.. "Ray" is a beautiful person.. Your friend always.., Michael Sean O'Brien in historic Uptown Butte, Montana.. * P.S.: "Jacob' and "Ray".., "Thank you for sharing a beautiful video and lot's of informative information."

    In 1993 I walked up to the Concierge desk at The Flamingo and asked where the closest gay bar was and I was met with a stunned silence and she said in all the years she’d worked the desk no one had ever asked, she asked me to wait and went and found a Duty Manager who knew of only one gay bar (I think it was called Angels) and wrote down the address. It was a long way from the strip and when we arrived it had 2 doors; Lesbians one side and gay men and drag queens the other side lol totally separated. I befriended a drag queen who impersonated Dionne Warwick and she recommended drinking Gin & Diet Coke and I still have one occasionally !!
