- čas přidán 7. 06. 2024
- As Taji embarks on his trip to Vegas, he decides it makes the most sense to gamble his tiny production budget in order to win big and have the ultimate Las Vegas experience. But since this is a risky manoeuvre, he recruits the help of a notorious card counter who offers him tips and tricks to have an advantage at the Blackjack table.
After a quick tutorial, Taji and the card counter enter a casino in disguise, but things don’t quite go according to plan…
After losing everything Taji cannot afford to stick around, and what follows is his attempt to make it back to Sin City by way of a haunted Clown Motel, and a brothel.

Taji is the goat 🐐
This guy is forever entertaining
Taji = *DA MAN*
And has the best job hahah
Guy is a goofball with a bucket list
Taji is the goat
He's done a lot since eating edibles with waka flocka in Amsterdam
Happy to see Taji in another Vice series! You scroll thru the comments and see how much everyone universally loves him. Glad Vice seems to be paying attention.
Just thought the same!
Hopefully they are paying him what's he's worth
I only watch Taji Vice. Way less depressing 😂
I love Taji’s I’m down for whatever attitude.
I didn’t think Taji could be more awkward. Then came the locker room 🤣🤣🤣
This man is doing the lord’s work
@@Eeeeerjjejjejeirsshy 🤣🤣🤣☠️☠️☠️
For real 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bro I wanted to click off soooo bad🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you so much Taji and your wonderful crew for visiting me at Sheris and for being so nice! I am so grateful for the opportunity to share my art form of sexual healing with the world! It means so much to all of us when so many others are quick to judge us. I hope that anyone looking for a safe place to be their true sexual self will find me for some kinky fun!
Right on, Mrs. Lovecraft, keep doing what ya doing.
Your voice gives me asmr tingles 🤌😩
also my babe of a friend Sky! (now jupiter jetson)
Definitely considering a visit lol; working as much as I do I need a vacation ahaha
Ur goated
I’m only two minutes into this episode and I’m already smiling ear to ear. Never change Taji, and Vice better protect this mans at all costs.
Taji has been holding this channel on his back for years now. What a guy!
No doubt
Hes super entertaining, but enough with the cringe copy-paste comments
🔥🔥 czcams.com/video/XGttt4vBB0s/video.html 🔥🔥
we all know Taji hit it
I feel like the whole vice crews wanted to chill in Vegas, and this is how they convinced the boss to pay for it. Great content
The whole vice crew?
TAJI GOT CLEARED FOR THE MAGNUM ?! TAJI’S PACKIN’ ?!
can confirm
@@savannahy1176 spill 'em
Out of all the humorous Vice segments, this one has the most genuineness and openness. He’s always open minded and let’s others share their ideals without worry of it being ascribed to his view as well. This lets him have an extra amount of freedom in navigating conversations with these wild people.
Generally, he might be our US-based, friendly - if not a bit shy - cousin of Louie Theroux.
Lovecraft is someone you feel completely safe with. No judgement, she’s seen and done it all.
As beautiful as Lovecraft is, safe is debatable Chelsee due to all the porn she has done. If I ever party with her I will be wearing five condoms just to be safe
She talks about peeing in a gaping butthole. That's fluid exchange so what's the point of using condoms. Unsafe practice. Maybe an investigator from the Nye County Board of Health would be interested to know about that kind of party.
You should go visit 🤷♂️
@@TanRicky321 I did. I been a client there since 2009
@@moviemac7718 😂
I'm 30, been living in Southern California for most of my life and never once have I gone to Vegas.
I've simply have no interest, but I just lived vicariously through this guy.
You should go, I'm 23 and from Canada and I've gone twice. If you live that close you should definitely check it out at least once. If you're a bachelor you can have a fairly cheap trip, if you bring a girl it gets expensive haha. Its a single guys paradise and torture for someone in a relationship.
What about Mexico ?
@@hhholly
I was born in San Diego, but lived in Mexico for most of my childhood.
However, I've never gone down there to party.
The Vegas shows are good. Probably the only thing I would be interested in doing there
"17 is like your mother in law, you want to hit but cannot" 💀😂
One of the best One liners ever!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Creeepy
I think he meant step mom lol
Taji is the greatest his awkwardness is so funny
So awkward but priceless
It’s an act..
@@oracle8589 if that's the case he's really fucking good lol
🔥💥 czcams.com/video/XGttt4vBB0s/video.html 💥🔥
Taji is an absolute treasure and Lovecraft was amazing to watch, so kind and able to make something awkward so fun!!
Taji is a humorous treasure ! My goodness, I can’t get enough of him. I know I’m repeating what others have said, but I do believe it needs repeating over and over again !
Taji's shoulders are the GOAT 🐐 from carrying VICE!!
😂😂😂
Just like Shane and Ryan used to carry buzzfeed... now it's dead because they left 😂
@@Chilling_Chilling literally facts
@@GenghisKhanDaG why hello there, person of culture 🤜🤛
@@Chilling_Chilling 🤜🤛
To be honest this is the only guy I watch when vice comes on. Good guy. 👍
I as well, I don't have viceland on TV so I'm glad they still use you tube lol, yes taji is the man, the underdog we all see in ourselves, if taji can do it so can I, I have hope for myself 😆 I'm not going to Vegas though
Yep I feel the same. Taji is the only one I can stand on this bogus channel.
Same
it's cool how he built a career off of phillipsolo!
I agree Taji is the only reason I ever watch vice. He's not like some of the other people I've seen in some of the other vice mini-documentaries, most of them are condescending, elitist-minded, spoiled kids that're in their late 20s or so but still act like the spoiled rich kids they were in their teens who probably had parents that not only paid for their 6 years at college earning a 4 year degree, along with an apartment that was way nicer than what they needed, a new car, spending money, and even when they didn't get their first job until age 21 (to list under experience for future jobs) they didn't even have to start paying their own insurance or cell phone bill to learn the importance of budgeting their money, valuing things that they had to pay for with money they earned, and overall just having responsibilities besides making passing grades for classes that are mostly useless in preparing them for the world... who are totally the type of 29 year Olds that would get a flat tire and sit there on the side of the road, helplessly panicking, and the only thing they know to do is to call their parents and ask THEM what to do! Then after talking to parents who failed to teach them to put on a spare tire in the first place (one of the many practical and essential pieces of knowledge everyone should have by the time they're entering adulthood) they say "ok calm down if you don't know how to call triple A then I'll do it for you I wouldn't want you to learn how to do something for yourself) then after deciding that it's time to "find themselves" at age 30 (their trust funds are half spent so their rich dad urges them to figure something out that will actually earn them money other than just keep spending it) so they somehow convince the people at vice that they're "journalists" and get the job not because they actually are, but because they have the hipster look, identify as "open minded" liberals not because theyve done their own research on anything political, and certainly not because they're actually open minded people (quite the opposite really) but because they've heard the opinions of equally ignorant/uninformed peers who regurgitate BS fake/spun "news" they watched on CNN, the propaganda kings of the USA (who's biggest rival for the propaganda king title is undoubtedly MSNBC, another narrative pushing, truth suppressing, billionaire-psycho-globalist owned, anti truth TV) and form their opinions around propaganda that they REALLY BELIEVE IS THE TRUTH and vice hires them because that kind of person is exactly what they want because they know anyone who thinks for themselves, questions things that make no sense or point out the constant contradictions that one could easily spot in MSM but many simply choose not to, and they know they can count on people like that to spread propaganda, take a story they cover and spin the truth to no longer represent the truth but instead to appear to support the propaganda..... sorry for my rant but I can't believe I used to think vice was legitimate in any way even in this video so much was spun to appear one way when it's not what actually happened
I fell like the comment thread on Taji videos is the only place I have seen purely positive comments, nobody has anything bad to say about this guy, keep it up my dude! You are loved by many!!
Taji is pure gold, I cannot wait for part 2!
My lifelong dream was always to count cards in a brothel's haunted room.
you forgot haunted "clown" room
@@jhellstrom4664 you forgot haunted clown fetish room in the brothel
same.
I love your propic my man 🇪🇺
The moment she endorsed his need of a magnum is the moment his life just got way way better. Cheers mate.
Definitely asked her to say magnum
@@Ghostmanetx definitely paid her to say magnum, and magnum paid taji.
How do you fcks know? Were y'all there for the recording?!
This was on my top ten of best Taji encounters! I love how he plays off of people. He’s so sweet and good natured and they put him in this insane situations and it’s just hilarious to watch. I just wish that he was more honest with people when he’s reviewing a business. Taji not everyone gets a gold star!
Nice to see vice going back to its roots :)
Great stuff! Taji is wonderfully awkward and I love it.
Always exciting watching anything from Taji. 😊👌🏼
Absolutely brilliant. Looking forward to part 2!!! ;)
The more series Taji has the better. Keep them coming vice.
This was worth the watch I can't wait for the next episode...
That intro alone makes me never want to go back to Vegas 😂. I’ve been there once and I think that was enough lol
Saw Tool in Vegas in 2010 and it seemed the whole city was under construction. I’ve never seen so many hundred dollar bills in my life when I was there.
I like your name it has good meaning in Arabic language, i wonder if you know?
@@Alex-rl4uy Did you see them at the Hard Rock Casino? Outside with a set of bleachers to sit on? If so, I was there too. Tool are amazing live.
It cracks me up when I hear card counters and professional card players talk about it. It's always "I know a guy" or "one of my friends" got beat up or had his eye gouged out. It's never the person you're talking to. It's always an anecdotal, second hand story. I know this is satire but even in serious shows or CZcams videos it's funny.
The glass eye is a dead giveaway.
Richard was a dealer and a counter in the 80s, when the mob was still running Vegas. He’s seen some pretty crazy things
@@ceehads Exactly. Now that everything's super regulated the most they can do is maybe scare you a little and kick you out. But back in the day they were all about that life.
@@virusrt The mob never left Vegas they just got smarter and more quite
💥💥 czcams.com/video/XGttt4vBB0s/video.html 🔥🔥🔥
Taji is the best vice host I love his videos perfect mix of facts and awkwardness I love all of his documentaries
She said use the magnum 😭😭😭 not only is Taji literally the embodiment of vice he's also slanging pipe 💀💀💀
I don't get it?
🤣🤣🤣
@@kko9329 he's got a big ol dang a Lang
@@kko9329 Magnum is for guys who are on the bigger side
@@kko9329 Of course you don't buddy. ,it's ok
“Sounds like a really bad idea!”
*Insert Tajis’ smiling face nodding*
🤣🤣🤣
There should be a documentary about this guy Taji. He is so awkward yet fun to watch.
Yes..... and I vote this to be the best comment!
tHE BEST Vice Guide ever ... Taji should be host it regularly ...
How did this turn out to be so wholesome?
Literally the brothel thing was some of the most wholesome content I’ve ever seen and I don’t understand that at all.
Protect this man at all cost Vice!!! 💪🏼🙏🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The way that I would do absolutely anything to guarantee that Taji lives his best life is beyond me
Worry bout ur own life Lea , Taji is doing fine
So good. Keep em coming, Taji.
Omg I'm so excited for this series
Whoever edited this has an extreme sense of humor LMAO it’s hilarious 😂
The locker room scene was fucking hilarious 😂 Taji is the man 💪🏽
Taji deserves the best man, Ill watch anything aslong as he's in the video. VICE , DO EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO KEEP TAJI AND TREAT HIM WELL. GOD BLESS
Keep em coming! Love these.
Vice needs to pay Taji way more this dude is a genius 😂
Taji definitely needs his own show
This was his own show lol, not guest appearance
He is something so positive to watch. 🥺
Can’t wait to see the next one. Awesome
Taji has allowed me to love and accept myself the way I am. I’m very quiet and I have a lot of those awkward silences whenever I talk to people. I personally don’t mind, but I know it makes people uncomfortable. Thanks Taji ❤️
The exact same for me ❤️
"Looks like he ironed it with a waffle iron"
Absolutely loved it mate!!
This is one of my favorites he's done, very well done
As someone who lives in Vegas it was fun finally seeing what the clown hotel was all about since we always see it leaving Vegas 😂 also I’m super surprised they let you record in the casino and your dealer for the bit also was funny seeing a different brothel then the bunny ranch we all hear about here in Vegas lol
the clown motel is like four hours away from Vegas what-
They use hidden cameras for the casino
@@corinneb39 yea that’s why I said leaving Vegas as in like hey I’m leaving Vegas going OUT of town to a new place but true it does sound like I meant it’s on the outskirts and not hours away lol
CLOWN MOTEL! I discovered it on a road trip post-burning man... Talked with the owner for a long while. He said we could mail him the ashes of our clown friend who passed away, very kind. So glad to see the Clown Motel having a moment right now online ^u^ Honk!
So good and funny! This was a great episode…
Taji!!!!!💕🙏🏼 Thank you for everything you do! Appreciate ya
Lovecraft Is honestly such a fukn gem, like regardless of her looks, her personality is attractive and cool
As a sex worker I cannot believe I’m watching this guy go thru these role plays for everyone to see 🤣 I love it this had me cracking up. But I love her she’s so sweet and professional
Thank you sexy! Stay safe and may the money Goddess bless you with many amazing and kind clients!
@@lilylovecraft4869 thank you so much miss love craft same to you :)
She was amazing, lovely and informative. If I ever visit Vegas, should’ve done while living in the states, I’ll definitely visit Sheri’s. I have however experienced legal sex work in Amsterdam but the experience there was a lot more commercial and short compared to how detailed it looked at the resort.
What city are you in
@@ATF.California it’s a city called nunya business. I do online work so I don’t ever meet up with anyone.
Loved this very cool and fun to watch.
I love Taji, his videos are always the best! 👌
It's the very wrinkled, dark blue suit for me. LMAO
Another VICE banger with Taji, for the win again!
Thank You @vice This was a great birthday gift. I'm going to do all of this in Vegas one day. Minus the card counting 😅
*Vice never disappoints* ☺️🙂
Vice has their new super star and has given me a reason to watch vice again, thanks taji
Taji makes great videos , he deserve a BIG raise. BT
Hem if you’re reading this I just wanted to say thank you for saving my life and some of my sanity when my car broke down and I was left living In that town for 2 months waiting for the car to be fixed. You are awesome and I hope one day I can come back and repay you for the kindness you showed me. Q
😂😂😂 Howwwlingggg!!! I'm here for the commitment 🔥🔥
The legend is back.
Tani has the wildest life ever, I just watch his videos from work on my lunch breaks lol
Fun fact: prostitution is actually illegal in Las Vegas but is legal in the state of Nevada in counties with a population of less than 700k residents
That's a great way of creating jobs for smaller communities lmao
Legal by county vote.
Really? Wow
So happy to see this!!
Love Taji!
Taji and excellent editing!!
This one has it all. Thanks Taji and production for such a wonderful series. *****
Taji has came far , definitely deserves this !
This guy never dissappoints
This guy went ALL IN for journalism and i’m all for it.
Taji and Hamilton protect these two at all costs vice would love to see an episode of them together.
Bout time Taji starts his own thing.
Probably has signed his life away
@@DailyRedditHorror u alright foo?
This is still not his own thing, this is a vice series owned by vice. All vice employees are paid salary and are not given any more money for any amount of videos they produce.
@@bannedfor762 he signed a contract with vice probably stating that anything he produces on social media is theirs its very common.
@@yunggoosbumps215 I know. That’s why I made the comment.
Taji really is one of my faves, he makes entertaining vids
Ayy you’re back man! 😮
Taji is like socially awkward and so enjoyable at the same time lmao 😂
If he's not one of the top earners at Vice then I'll be pissed. Taji is a legend lol
This is awesome!
Taji!!!!!!! You animal!!!!!!!!! I'm dead😂😂😂👌👌👌 Always a pleasure to watch! Thank you for traveling the road for those of us who can't ...or won't lol.
This dude is the best kept secret of all of Vice
Taji is the true face of Vice. Love it
I haven't commented on anything in years and I can tell you this kind of humor is what America needs rn.
Best one yet
I love this guy,always fun to watch !!!
The "so where are you guys from" scene is a scene from the next Tarantino movie 😂
This was amazing
That suit is throwing Me off so bad💯😂 Taji gives off a awkward, geeky creep vibe with his interviews; his reactions & facial expressions are so hilarious to Me🤣🤣🤣
I love Taji. I'd die for Taji. Protect Taji at all costs.
This guy is the epitome of a Vice employee
Great video!
holy moley this is the most entertaining guy on vice, the ending had me laughing out loud
What a story teller, the guy from the clown motel 😂😂🤣🤣
Taji is having the best journey without him knowing it. ❤️🔥🤣💀
This was brilliant
Nice report, well done.
