Chapter 1: Who is Vegas Pauly C and what are his views on social media narcissism?

0.369 - 16.48 Host

You have gamblers like him and everybody's watching him and everybody's telling him how great he is. And he's basically the narcissist. See, social media is extremely narcissistic. I came into this with a knowledge base in that already because my father was toxic and my mother was a willing victim.

0

17.501 - 35.832 Host

So all of his followers that are willing victims, when they see me possibly casting some negativity towards the grand narcissist who is this kid who plays online for, listen, I don't even know whether that playing is fake or not. I don't care whether it's fake or not. I only care whether Nevada would pass that money through compliance.

0

36.493 - 41.396 Host

So all of his willing victims became mobilized because they're under his spell and they all came after me.

0

45.376 - 49.759 Host

All right, guys. One of the show's favorite guests is back on. Vegas Pauly C, let's go.

0

49.899 - 50.879 Host

Well, hello, hello, hello.

50.899 - 54.502 Host

I love him, man. Yeah, we get some interesting comments whenever you come on.

54.782 - 72.231 Host

Oh, really? Yeah. Wow. You know, it's interesting because like I was telling you just as a lead up to this, ask anything you want. You know, everything is an honest answer. Like, if you're an addict, I think you learn that you're either going to be an open book or you're just going to be the biggest phony in the world. So I just decided to lead with, you know, open book.

72.371 - 73.852 Host

Yeah, that being said, we'll get straight into it.

73.872 - 74.492 Host

Okay, get into it.

Chapter 2: Why did Resorts World ban Vegas Pauly C?

80.399 - 100.341 Host

So I got the information that he had been playing at Resorts World and a couple of other places. And the God's honest truth is that I live right down from Resorts World, and I have beef with them. I got thrown out of there twice. I'll tell that story in a second. And they have a source of funds law in Nevada that is very strict about where did the money come from.

0

101.002 - 120.745 Host

So the money comes from a online website called Rubet. And listen, I don't know enough about Rubet to comment on it, but I know that they can't get licensed in the United States. I know that it's considered an illegal website. And I know that that's where his money comes from. So I addressed it in the video without going into too many specifics.

0

121.565 - 140.171 Host

And he contacted me and a lot of people threatened me pretty bad, really. Like I got a couple of, you know, pretty serious things that I thought were serious. But it's like I always tell them, let's go show up. He's a one guy says, I know where you live. I said, come on, come over. And the reason for that is not because I'm brave or tough. It's just because I want to get it over with.

0

140.987 - 158.551 Host

I don't want to live with it over my head 12 hours, 24 hours. So I got a lot of threats from his people. And then I spoke to him. And it was just one of these things that you hear out of people's mouths sometimes. And I'm sorry, but I consider this lower IQ people when they say this. I don't want your name in my mouth. I don't want my name in your mouth. I don't want my name in your mouth.

0

159.171 - 178.74 Host

And so I got a lot of that from him. Why are you implicating me in this? And the bottom line is that they have to be very careful with source of funds in Nevada. Like where did the money come from? So before I made this video, I went to two of the highest-ranking casino executives in Las Vegas that I know. One is number two. One is number four, let's just say.

178.82 - 179.401 Host

At Resorts World?

179.941 - 198.881 Host

No. Just casino executives. I told them this story, and I said, would you allow someone with this money trail to play in your casino? And they both said that it would have to go to compliance and that it was a very bad look, and they're not sure whether or not compliance would pass it for their places. Like you can't come in with big money if it comes from a strange place.

199.101 - 200.324 Host

How much did Exposed come in with?

201.246 - 218.97 Host

I heard he lost a million, a million, and a million. So I guess he lost three million. But the first million, I made a mistake in the video, too. The first million was at another casino, and then the second million was at Resorts World. Got it. And then the third million was at Red Rock. But listen, I don't want problems with Exposed and his followers. It's a news story.

Chapter 3: How do online gambling influencers operate in the casino industry?

619.132 - 620.172 Host

No, he's just better than me.

0

620.472 - 621.733 Host

Yeah, but he uses his own money.

0

621.953 - 636.819 Host

Yeah, he came into it wealthy. I really did not. He's a slot player, which captivated the audience. I'm not a slot player. You know, he's just got more balls and more money than me. I mean, I would never put that money into slots like he did.

0

637.219 - 643.102 Host

Yeah, well, he admittedly, he's open about how much he loses on slots, which I like too, because you got to be honest with people.

0

644.4 - 646.52 Host

Listen, when somebody's better than you, what am I going to say?

647.261 - 650.321 Host

Shout out to Vegas Mato. He's been on the show and he's been crushing it, man.

650.461 - 656.142 Host

Well, he got a million dollar contract from, was it FanDuel or the other one or DraftKings? Yeah, they gave him a million dollars.

656.162 - 661.103 Host

Well, he just hit a million on YouTube. He gave him a million dollars the other day. Speaking of people, I gave him a lot.

661.123 - 673.857 Host

Well, I spoke to another, you know, it's funny because I spoke to someone else in the Vegas Mato space. No names. He had contacted me and he actually gave me all his numbers and And he told me that his revenue, top line revenue, was $1.9 million.

Chapter 4: What controversies has Vegas Pauly C faced with influencers like Exposed?

732.47 - 753.053 Host

Yeah, so Skylar Dice. Shout out to Skylar Dice. Skylar Dice is the general manager of the Strat, and he contacted me about a year ago. And I always use this term. Steve Wynn used to call them gorgeous personalities. Mm-hmm. So it's someone who just has it. It's someone he smiles through his face. He's very authentic. He's really about taking care of the gambler.

0

753.113 - 767.127 Host

In fact, the other night at dinner, I heard this the first time out of his mouth. He said that, you know, I've been doing this since I'm 19. I love it. I love this industry. And I heard him say that. And I kind of knew that. The other guy that just loves this industry is Jonathan Jossel down at the Plaza.

0

767.147 - 783.437 Host

And I don't say that because I'm down there all the time or I'm trying to do business with him. He said to me when I first met him, he goes, I've worked 17 years in this industry. I've never worked a day in my life. Isn't this incredible? But Skylar Dice cut from the same mold. So I said, Skylar, I said, can I play Crapless Craps live in your casino? He said, absolutely.

0

784.358 - 806.088 Host

This was about six or eight months ago. And to play Crapless Craps, you come in with five or $10,000 and you can definitely lose it. When I played six or eight months ago, I played with 5,000. I ended up with three. I took the hit at two. I still had some liquidity at the time. But honestly, I'll just be straight out honest with you, I'm broke off my ass doing this. I'm not able to monetize.

0

806.228 - 827.634 Host

I just borrowed money from a very close friend, a lot of money, to make it through to what is theoretically my first paycheck. So I can't really afford to gamble live like that. So John Sarazani said, can you set me up? I'm like, absolutely. You know, I knew him. I liked the big energy. I liked that he's a gambler. You know, I met him. He's 6'5". He's in really great shape.

828.595 - 841.267 Host

You know, here's a point I want to make about him that's important. I see a lot of the comments, like, on my chat are like, You know, oh, he's so full of himself or he's got an ego or whatever. But I'd like to ask the audience, and I'm serious.

841.887 - 862.635 Host

If you were 6'5", right, and had his face and were in the kind of shape that he's in and had whatever he's got, I don't care whether it's a million dollars or $20 million, but I know he's living more like he's got $20 million. And you were that guy. Like, he tries to be humble. He tries to be a sweet guy. But think about it. Wake up tomorrow as him. And take a look in the mirror and be humble.

863.076 - 885.187 Host

He does try. You know, people should know that he's not like this bad guy. Yeah, he's big on camera. Yeah. The guy's got it. It reminds me of these girls that are just so attractive, and then you'll hear guys talking in the corner. Oh, she's a bitch. Maybe she has to be just to make it through the day. Can you understand that?

885.447 - 888.77 Host

No, I do. I think on the internet there will always be those jealousy-type people.

Chapter 5: What are the gambling experiences and strategies of Vegas Pauly C?

1568.453 - 1589.85 Host

Now it's like, and the reason that narcissistic adoration conversation became about what I look like is because now that people know who I am and what I look like, I mean, I can tell you on Saturday night, I probably took between 20 and 30 pictures. That doesn't surprise me. And everybody wants me to say, Vegas, Paulie C. That by the end of the night, I was just like, wow, I can't even say it.

0

1590.591 - 1610.488 Host

And then I was hanging out with Dustin Lynch's posse. Wow. So do you know Dustin Lynch's? The country artist? Yeah, the country artist. So he has a residency at XS. So either his tour manager or his good friend. And this blows my mind. Like they contact me like, will you hang out with us? You know, we're going to be at the win. And I'm like... Absolutely, I'll come over there.

0

1610.548 - 1631.177 Host

You got the residency. I know I'm going to go to XS. You know, I never went to a nightclub for 20 years and no one XS invited. Yeah, I'll tell you that in a second. I'm not humble faking, by the way. These are true stories. So I never went to the XS because I'm a big gambler. What am I going to do? Hi, I just spent $12,000 on this table, you know, to a girl. Will you pay attention to me?

0

1631.297 - 1654.39 Host

It's so not cost effective. Like I got to fake it and I got out. I can't fake it. And I don't really have $12,000. So to me, the access was always like, wow, now I'm not angry. You know, I'm not angry about this. I wonder what it's like in there. And then they invited me for New Year's. In fact, I saw a rant. Shout out to Randy Tomas, wherever you are. Great guy. He's a stage manager there.

0

1655.738 - 1669.743 Host

I ran into him again when I went with Dustin Lynch's group. So they brought me in and we had dinner together and I met some really cool people that are like in his group. You know, he's got a pretty cool group. But the whole night I was getting like a tremendous amount of, you know, narcissistic adoration.

1669.763 - 1684.129 Host

But what I was going to tell you is why the Vegas policy was even more unbearable by the end of the night. There were two guys in his group that kept saying it on it, like every spin of the dice. I'm sorry, every spin of the wheel, every roll, every turn of the card. And I was just like, you know, I love it.

1684.509 - 1712.515 Host

but i love it like a couple times a day i love it i feel that man that's funny yeah xs is a good club i've been there yeah yeah well i'm sure you get in no problem but for me it was you know the table part like you said you're dropping 5k at least well you know i'll tell you a funny story dustin dre invited me to dre's and he put me in the second table right by this stage and i bought wow i just stuttered i never did that before and he put me in the second table by the stage and a trey songs was there nice and it was

1713.135 - 1733.253 Host

Awesome. I had the best time. In fact, there's a video on my YouTube because this great kid that I know, Justin, he's a great videographer. He thinks that I'm funnier than I am. And he made like a video. So I said to Dustin Dre, I said, I said, I can't even afford the tip because I can't. I can't. You know, what's the tip on a table like that?

1733.293 - 1749.776 Host

It's got to be a thousand, two thousand dollars, right? Yeah, it's got to be at least. Yeah. Dustin was like, no, I take care of my people. I thought that was super cool. Like, I had to be honest with him. And, you know, he was honest with me. He was nice. And he's a great guy. And that's a great place. That's a great place.

Chapter 6: What drama occurred between Vegas Pauly C and Perez Hilton?

3469.417 - 3482.45 Host

I mean, you know, I learn so much by reading my chat, but I also pick up funny things. And one woman on my chat, we were talking about Resorts World, she said, let's just face it, it's a self-service hotel. I mean, they opened with no room service.

0

3482.67 - 3504.044 Host

I remember I stayed there and I was like, and an executive said this too in my chat, they said they thought that they were going to replace people with technology and it just didn't work out. Like I'm learning so much. I don't come to this with all the knowledge in the world. I'm learning so much from my own social media And I always beat industry.

0

3504.704 - 3523.298 Host

So like I'll get a guy who's general counsel over here and I'll run down or I'll get a guy who's vice president of marketing and I'll run down. Occasionally I get a president and I'll run down and I let them talk and I ask them questions. I'm never going to be able to handle the minutia of the back But they're not going to tell me that anyway.

0

3523.579 - 3547.177 Host

Because that's all proprietary information that I can only try and figure out from the financials. But you get the feel for every property, what their priority is. It really flows. And this is why the win was so successful. Steve had the personality. Steve gave the love. Steve was interesting. Steve had a great voice. Steve was incredibly creative.

0

3548.237 - 3568.871 Host

But Steve said this, and you can go and you can watch it. The drapes, the carpets, the rooms, and they have the best of everything there, and they still do, the finishings. None of that matters without the people. Somebody called me, and they said that they were the people who were going to be responsible for North Strip development. It doesn't matter the specifics.

3569.672 - 3593.448 Host

I get BS'd so much in Las Vegas that maybe he's BS, but I went and I met him. And I took a piece of paper, and I drew three circles, and I said, here's your $6 billion. I'm not going to put what's here. And I said, here is your hotel casino. I said, you have your $6 billion. Unbelievable. He tells me he does. I don't believe him, but whatever. You have your site.

3594.549 - 3613.676 Host

Even the plans are drawn up for this particular property. I said, what are you missing? What are you never gonna be able to get? What are you never gonna find ever? Because they're basically all taken to be honest with you. I said, you are never going to find the employees that are going to do the job that's going to get you a return on $6 billion. You're just not.

3614.437 - 3638.796 Host

You're just not because the industry is not an industry that is heavy on training. It's not an industry that's heavy on love. It's an industry, it goes back to the movie Casino. The eye in the sky is watching the floor man. The floor man is watching the box man. The box man is watching the dealer. The dealer is watching the player. It's a tough, rough, hardcore industry.

3639.396 - 3656.962 Host

And if you want to have employees that give the love, you're going to have to give a lot of love to those employees. You're going to have to nurture them. You're going to have to give them that culture. And you just can't do it with a new property anymore. And you know, I read all the comments about the employees at places like Resource World, you know, with the overbearing security.
