Las Vegas, Nevada - Home of world class performers and limitless entertainment options! In this episode, I get a chance to shadow one of those incredible individuals, an iconic Drag Queen who goes by the name of "Hot Chocolate."
For 24 hours, Hot Chocolate AKA Larry Edwards takes me on a typical "Day in the Life" as a Drag Queen on the Las Vegas strip.
We workout, go to his incredible drag brunch at Señor Frogs inside Treasure Island, eat lunch at Caesar's Palace, shop for makeup, and have a wild night out in Las Vegas!
Larry is an incredible entertainer and an even better person!!

Hello. Japan is famous for the righteous "samurai," "bushido," "ninja," "shogun," and "Zatoichi" who avenge evil, but there are also "hissatsu shigotonin" who assassinate unforgivable evil people.

As a drag queen from Amsterdam, thank you for using your platform to show people we are loving good people. And not what the haters want you to believe out of fear.. spread love!!!❤
You are such a good guy and an amazing human!! The world needs more people like you!!
And more drag queens! 6:32
That’s why it’s imperative to not judge others so quickly until you get to know them. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt until they prove me otherwise.
Thank you so much for being such a kind person. I love you Gareth!
I've known and worked with Larry for 30 years and he is THE nicest guy in show business. So proud of everything he has achieved in his decades of entertainment!
WOW! Thank you Gareth for being open and understanding. I’m so happy you are able to be so respectful of something that is completely new to you. You have been my favorite and I think this video just proves how genuine and kind you are. Love and respect. 💜🫶🏼
Gareth and Larry both seem like such genuinely kind people that it brought this straight guy to the verge of tears watching this. If only the rest of the world would follow their example!
It starts with you and spreading the awareness to all your friends! Ty em it’s a trickle effect!
*YOU SLAYED, MARSHMELLOW!*
It's one of your most impressive videos. Good vibes all around.🪭
This is my absolute favourite Travel Deeper video, except for all the ones where Gareth takes his shirt off.
I love Larry. For over 20 years, every time I went to Las Vegas, I would go to the Diva's show. Larry was always very friendly and willing to talk to everyone that attended the show. He would walk through the casino dressed as Tina Turner to tell people about the show. It looks like you had a great time with this story. You are very entertaining so I HAD to subscribe to your channel. The best of luck to you.
I loved working with Larry when i worked at Kraze. He was always a joy and a smile on his face. Made the long nights go so fast.
Thank you also for showing another side of this wonderful world.
You’re an awesome person, Gareth and that’s why you’re so blessed. It’s a breath of fresh air to see a studly straight guy who is so accepting, loving, and kind. I won’t forget your simple act of kindness when you agreed to have a picture with me and my partner in San Diego. It was at Seaport Village. I instantly recognized you but didn’t realize you were tall. You were with a beautiful woman and a cute toddler. Keep thriving and thanks for being kind to the LGBT community.
Great to see Garrett never afraid to do stuff out of the box. And it is great for those of us that have never seen this! And women love this?!! Who knew??! Wild!!
I was just listening to Avicii's, 'The Nights' and the lyrics: "He (my father) said, "One day, you'll leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember".....
As if I didn’t like your videos enough already! Gareth this was FABULOUS. Thank you so much for being straight but not narrow. What a fun video this was. Marshmallow was a hoot. 🤣
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG this was so awesome. I saw you for the first time with your Egyptian video. I was there in February and loved loved Egypt. But your willingness to partake with Hot Chocolate was epic. I met her over 30 years ago in Atlanta. Thanks for opening all types of folks to the Female Impersonators. Bravo Mister!
This is so amazing. Thanks for sharing their stories.
I love Gareth so much. My level of respect went even way further than it already was. Thank you of being nice and open minded. Hot chocolate seems amazing! Would love to see her on Rupaul!!
Gareth got some hot chocolate ☕️
This was wonderful! I really appreciate you asking for pronouns and how to address everyone at the beginning of the video. That was so respectful and set the tone for this entire day. Full of fun, insights, great questions and enjoyable to watch. Thank you ♥
Gareth, you are simply a wonderful human being. Too bad there are not more like you in this world, so much hate against the LGBTQ+ community these days.
Larry's energy is so infectious. I love it.
This was amazing. Welcome to our world. I hope you had fun and Hot Chocolate is such a good person with a good heart.
You know, with wholesome and macho personalities like Gareth and some others I love, I could never know one of them could show a not so kind side and disappoint me with their attitude. I guess you can’t please everybody but I am so happy to see Gareth in this. He showed another wholesome side.
Gareth is special !!! Such an amazing person. When I saw Hot Chocolate, I could not believe it was the same one I used to see back in the 80's but it WAS !!! So amazing to see her success !!!
I worked with Larry in Las Vegas in the 90's, he is truly a nice guy and great wo work with.
Hot Chocolate and Marshmallow! ❤
Gareth, THANK YOU!!!, for showing the other side of life. We will be sure to do this brunch!
Thanks for this video, years ago we would go to see drag in Chicago, and so many audience would look soooo confused...the host would say, look how confused he looks, his wife will explain it later to him!!!
Great episode! It looks like everyone had an amazing time at the show.
So nice to see a flash of the late great Kenny Kerr who premiered in Vegas in 1977, appearing at the long gone Silver Slipper and then moving on to many other venues. I had the pleasure of traveling with him. He opened the door for us in Vegas
Gareth, you cutie in that wig! I love it Marshmallow!!! 💋 so fab!
What a great video Gareth! I'm loving your content from this to all the San Diego centric content and everything in between. Great work!
Good to see Garrett is back!!! Looking good and healthy!!! 👏 👏
Great video Gareth and big props to Hot Chocolate and all the queens! But really glad ur leg is healing, lost a bit of your food channel, so I looked it up and it brought me here. Blessings👍🏼✝️🙏🏼
This is so refreshing to watch! I love how he sees himself as just guy and goes by he. The new generation makes everything so complicated. Thank you for being open minded gareth.👏👏
WOW!!!!! I remember watching Hot Chocolate here in San Antonio, Texas back in the 80s. Great to see Larry is still entertaining others.
I agree..........the world needs more people like Gareth and Larry especially in the current hate mode maga has thrown the world into!
This is absolutely one of your best videos! Glad you got to see it from our perspective. ❤
Wow! Gareth - what an incredible look at a life we would never have imagined. Thank you!
I think his near death experience gave him a new perspective on life: That life is short...so short! Make the best of it as you never know what is around the corner. Like they say, "It is not about the destination, but the journey".
Awwww everyone loves Larry 💖💖💖💖
Gareth! You’re simply the best! Have followed you for years… this was awesome! 🤩✌🏻🌈
Best video!! I smiled from start to finish!! Thank you for showing this side of Drag shows. I learned a lot!! ❤
Dang that looks like it was so much fun 🤩 🎉🙌
I love this channel! Seeing you smile makes me smile every single time! Looking snatched in those heels and wig too!
What a fun vid Gareth!! Larry aka Hot Chocolate is wonderful!! ❤
Gay clubs are a great place for straight men to meet straight women. There's no competition, your relaxed, having fun. I know of a couple who were married last year and met at a gay club. Of course, if you get hit on by a guy, be polite and let them know your flatter but your straight... they'll walk away or be impressed that a straight guy is in a gay club, and may even introduced you to their straight girlfriends. Win Win For All.
So, so SO well done! Thanks Marshmallow. You nailed it!
Amazing! I love the behind the scenes.
I absolutely love this and the direction of your channel …so needed!!! ❤
Such a fun video! Watching you try to walk in high heels was hilarious.
Thank You so much for doing this show!!
This was freaking awesome!!!!!!
Great episode, Marshmallow!
Thank you for this, Gareth! You truly bring beauty to this world ❤
Awesome Dude! 🙌
If I ever make it to Vegas, I will for sure see Larry's show.
You so deserve all my love Gareth! You a stud and me and my community love you!!! 💙
Just remember, if you LOVE what you do, you'll never work a day in your life. LARRY is living proof of that
69 years old? Black 👏 don't 👏 Crack 👏
Great video - thanks Gareth!
What a fun video! Hot Chocolate is an icon!
This was so cool to watch Marshmallow! I watch your vids constantly and am subscribed to your channel, but this video made me realize why I began to follow you with the instinct that you are such an adventurous and open human! This is my second favorite video after your multiple trips to Mexico! 🇲🇽
Great video Gareth. LMAO! with Tina...
Larry/Hot Chocolate seems like such a beautiful soul, and he has that beautiful face it's always lit up with a megawatt smile.
I know Larry Edward personally and he is such a wonderful and beautiful human being.
This was so fun to see! Love the good vibes. Thank you for taking us along
