32:00 "We import WOKs at $15,000 each from Hong Kong." That. my friends, is total, steaming, flat-earth bullshit. A cast iron skillet of the correct size doesn't cost $15,000. Any manager who justifies it saying "It's authentic" would be fired on the spot. There isn't a palate on earth that can differentiate between a so-called Hong Kong Wok, and something made domestically. It boils down to the chef.
They use it as a justification for the high prices and as an obvious indicators of high class. That’s the same reason why tournament chess sets are so expensive when they are fundamentally have nothing that would warrant such price. As long as those items effectively demonstrate luxury buyers would consider it worthwhile.
I can tell the difference of high heat cooked from wok, but it doesn't take a high roller to know the difference and I am not a high roller. The documentary makes it look like high rollers have special god palate.
I love seeing Vegas hotel room interiors of the late '90s and early 2000s. So many of the themed resorts have lost their theming over time; curious to see what the Venetian suite shown looks like today.
I don't know why some people dislike such an amazing documentary like this. It is really shocking that 1/3 of the people push the button of dislike. This is a great documentary and I really appreciate the way how they have managed to shoot it.
My friend could never really quite explain to me what it means when you call someone a douche bag. He showed me this video and said watch Paul Baker and by the end of this video you know exactly what it means. It's so very clear now...thanks friend.
At 40:45 an advertisement appears on the televisions in the background for a fight that was to take place on June 23rd 2001 between Oscar De La Hoya and Javier Castillejo. So this documentary was probably filmed within a few months of that date.
The guy named Paul Baker- the "Internet Executive" actually died in 2009 at the age of 45 not sure what was the cause of his death but for those that were curious he was one of the early guys in at AOL. / The guy named Denny Mason - "retired businessman" passed away in 2014 at the age of 55! Both died fairly young tbh..
You sure about that? wasn't he just acting like a high roller for the film crew, now the President, Grand Lisboa Palace ? rocketreach.co/paul-baker-email_3503264
“People don’t sleep here. They stay awake for three days and snort three mountains of cocai-wait, what? I can’t say that? Well, uh, well people love it here.”
I was in Vegas last week, and my dads friend is considered a high roller. It's crazy how many people are at your service when you're considered a high roller. If you have the seven star level you'll literally be treated like royalty. This video is not lying!
Last week he brought about $80,000 to play with in the two days that he was there. He said he puts down about $1,000 a hand each time. I watched him play high limit slots for about ten minutes and he literally just fed hundreds into the machine until his $6000 he had was gone.lol
2020 - Dennis Rodman net worth is under 500k however he owes about 860k in back child and spousal support, and estimated 350k in back tax payments. So he got half a mill but he owes over a mill. Consider him $-500k in debt. Thanks Hard Rock Casino. Good job 👏👌👌👌👏
I was wondering about where some of there's guys are now and if their still " high rolling " I guess he wished he saved every penny and didn't spend EVERYTHING in Vegas
11:04 That's the great thing about Vegas. Whale high roller, or skipped your rent to buy your ticket on Spirit Airlines, nobody sleeps in Vegas. There's just something in the air that keeps you happy and going.
Part of me is jealous that I'm not rich enough to experience this. Another part of me realizes that if I was that rich I wouldn't be wasting it in this fashion. Nice to fantasize about but simply not something I would actually do. I went to Romania once. I was able to live like a king. It was kind of cool the first day. However, I quickly started feeling bad about being waited on like I was better than everyone else. I'm not. I just was blessed to be born in America and have more money in comparison to most in Romania. Btw, Romanians make some kick ass soup. :)
Lmfao nice! But hard truth is, if you have $10,000 USD, you can easily make $500 a day $120k a year, or $1000 a day (10% profit is minimal with my students) aka $240k a year. The key is discipline and stopping when ahead, 99% of players fail in that regard, heck even my own brother can’t stop while ahead and ends up losing thousands every game
i dont mean to be offtopic but does anybody know a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I love any tips you can give me.
@Sylas Casey I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
This show is really dated. The Hard Rock is not all that and is a lesser place for sure. It is probably not even as nice as the Hooters casino. They may have whales but not many. The rooms aren't very nice either.
Spent 20 years in Vegas and actually partied with Dennis Rodman at the Rio. This video is wayyyyy old. This is more a late 90's early 2000s period; not the current decade.
Vegas has really gone downhill in the last decade. It's swankier than ever but the entire place has become vastly overpriced and the comps are minimal.
Things I took from this; 1) Rich athletes are black. 2) 'Players' are more important than anyone else in the world in the casino, everyone else may as well be dead. 3) If you are going to be gambling, you may as well be a 'high roller'. 4) Gambling is good, if you are losing just change the game, or failing that just have few more drinks and sleep it off, totally harmless. 5) As long as there is great food and drinks, everybody in a Casino is having fun. 6) The narrator sounds like he is selling how good this is to me. 7) Everyone interviewed in this whole production is totally fine with gambling, even happy about it, weather working in the casino or not. 8) Nothing at all is said bad about anything at all from start to finish. 9) The amount of shit that has nothing to do with gambling is overwhelming.
That is farily accurate.. in a high roller table the players are like gods.. They can do just about anything they want and wont get kicked out by security unlike regular poor customers.
Yes of course. Gambling's harmless, drinking's harmless, any vice is fun and harmless. The devil's playground. But hey, the video IS about high rollers. I bet most of them are putting those mirrors to work on the bathroom counter too. Most of those guys aren't high rollers any more I guarantee it. This was filmed in the 90's and the dot com boom is long since over. Adelson's henchmen have to keep seeking out the new rich year after year. In the end, the only guy who survived it was the butler. And the devil's subserviant Adelson…
The Casinos and the girls know how to extract the money. Rich athletes who are retired get taken down to size pretty quick. Rodman is a perfect example. Just a few years ago he had enough money for the average person to retire on. Now his networth is negative. He owes more than he has.
This Discovery channel documentary feels like it was made in the mid-late ‘90’s. The Hard Rock Casino was the hot place to be…. Rodman’s hair isn’t multi-rainbow colored (wore the rainbow 🌈 dyed hair 1999 and after, the references to “these new young DOT COM whipper snappers”).
Reminds of a "Twilight Zone" episode when a thief is shot dead and finds himself in a casino winning everything in sight and suddenly realizes it's not heaven (like he always imagined it be), but hell.
Paul Baker and Denny Mason are both dead, having died in their 40s and 50s. Sheldon Adelson is in his 80s, a mega billionaire and still kicking 20 plus years after this video was made...... also watch Louis Theroux gambling in vegas documentary. Alan the high Roller is now an uber driver! if these stories don't serve as omens about big gambling I am not sure what will! ... :/
its now 2023 ironically paul baker from aol the internet executive passed away in dec 26 2009. makes you wonder life is short. you cant bring money to heaven or hell. enjoy every moment w/ fam n friends everyone!
Don't lie it was probably from those street walkers all over Vegas probably had your johnson covered in bumps for weeks. Bridesmaids 9 out of 10 times are clean as a whisle
Paul Baker committed suicide in 2009. He was attorney with AOL before and during AOL-Time Warner merger. He made a lot of stock options during AOL's hay-day. But Im sure he lost his job and stock value after the failed merger.
Thanks for this comment. I only spent 5 minutes watching and looked at this comment to make my decision that you are correct already 5 mins in. So I'm leaving now lol
This must have come out in the late 2000's , the Hard Rock is hardly the "hot hang out spot" here in town lol. Back in like 2008 it was the place to be.
@@rudrachatterjee2614 now it's less casinos per se and more night clubs. Cosmo drew the younger crowd cuz of Marquee. Then MGM brought in Hakkasan, Venetian with Tao and Wynn had Surrender. The younger crowds tend to jump from club to club and whoever has the hottest club has the younger crowd for that year.
If you want to gamble, gamble but it perplexes me that all the shows are made about something which is an addiction like it's something glamorous and something to aspire to. They should make shows about the glamour of other addictions like alcoholism too. Woohoo!
Life is much better in the Philippines. I have whole resorts here to myself, time and time again. No waiting for cabanas here, I get the whole beach to myself. And the women are cuter, 25-30 years younger and willing to do anything to make me happy...And I'm not a high roller...
Very tragic. A little internet research showed he died in 2009. No mention of a causative disease or accident, I assumed he took his own life given the underlying AOL failure. I may be mistaken...if so i sincerely apologize.
Based on George Maloof's age of 36 at the time of filming, and his age today, this was filmed in 2000. "In the year 2000!!! In the year 2000!!!" (If you know, you know).
Hard Rock is back in Las Vegas since now they own the Mirage. They are using the Mirage name supposedly until the Guitar hotel tower is completed at the Mirage.
Love some of the people telling how you are paying for everything with what you lose. These are people that have nothing and never will. You have to realise to some people dropping 100K over a weekend mean nothing to some people. Vegas use to be for people that had a lot of money. You didn't see people out in vegas with a limit of $50 a day to spend. Walking around with their pants hanging down to their ankles with flip flops on.
Palms hit financial trouble in 2010, when it started missing loan payments.[7] Under an agreement reached with creditors TPG Capital and Leonard Green & Partners, they each received a 49% stake in the property in November 2011, in exchange for erasing about $400 million in debt.[7][8] The Maloof family retains a 2% share, with options to buy back up to 20%, and George Maloof continues to manage the property.[8]
I remember watching this as a kid before going to Vegas for the first time with my family in 2004 when i was like 9 lol
hell yeah
I remember when the Travel Channel actually aired great specials like this.
I know now it became the supernatural ghost channel, a whole channel devoted to make believe nonsense

32:00 "We import WOKs at $15,000 each from Hong Kong." That. my friends, is total, steaming, flat-earth bullshit. A cast iron skillet of the correct size doesn't cost $15,000.

They use it as a justification for the high prices and as an obvious indicators of high class. That’s the same reason why tournament chess sets are so expensive when they are fundamentally have nothing that would warrant such price.

@@rudrachatterjee2614 now it's less casinos per se and more night clubs.
Cosmo drew the younger crowd cuz of Marquee. Then MGM brought in Hakkasan, Venetian with Tao and Wynn had Surrender.
The younger crowds tend to jump from club to club and whoever has the hottest club has the younger crowd for that year.
7:20 is the most awkward interaction I’ve ever seen. Lmfao.
If you want to gamble, gamble but it perplexes me that all the shows are made about something which is an addiction like it's something glamorous and something to aspire to. They should make shows about the glamour of other addictions like alcoholism too. Woohoo!
I miss these specials on the Travel Channel
I would pay more to golf with Charles Barkley than Tiger Woods ANYDAY simply so I can die laughing.
RuthlessConnectioN88 I would have those guys carry my luggage.
Vertical Horizon You would be lucky for them to even acknowledge your existence.
+RuthlessConnectioN88 If you're a vegas whale it's actually pretty easy to golf with either or both.
Give me the old time suites in the Strip Casinos. The dark wood and gold accents. Top level!! I personally would not go to Hard Rock. Just me!!
A bit outdated. The focus has changed. The PALMS was not even completed when this was done. Need to make a new show.
Life is much better in the Philippines. I have whole resorts here to myself, time and time again. No waiting for cabanas here, I get the whole beach to myself. And the women are cuter, 25-30 years younger and willing to do anything to make me happy...And I'm not a high roller...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Creepy
Very tragic. A little internet research showed he died in 2009. No mention of a causative disease or accident, I assumed he took his own life given the underlying AOL failure. I may be mistaken...if so i sincerely apologize.
Who?
Yo mama @@rsombrero97
Rip to the whale Denny Mason one of the legends in the gambling community, a Vegas great, be easy big dawg
But the money inevitably always goes to the Casino and the IRS.
Based on George Maloof's age of 36 at the time of filming, and his age today, this was filmed in 2000. "In the year 2000!!! In the year 2000!!!" (If you know, you know).
😂😂😂😂
Sad the Hard Rock is no more. Always wanted to see it, and stay there.
Hard Rock is back in Las Vegas since now they own the Mirage. They are using the Mirage name supposedly until the Guitar hotel tower is completed at the Mirage.
Fun fact…. Everyone seen in this video are now in their 60s and 70s (at least)
Paul Baker died at 45
Denny Mason died at 55
Both were fairly young. RIP
43:54 Michael Jordan got a rush out of splitting 3s playing blackjack too
When was this made? The 90's?
Love some of the people telling how you are paying for everything with what you lose. These are people that
have nothing and never will. You have to realise to some people dropping 100K over a weekend mean nothing
to some people. Vegas use to be for people that had a lot of money. You didn't see people out in vegas with a
limit of $50 a day to spend. Walking around with their pants hanging down to their ankles with flip flops on.
they basically payed for girls to say hey back to them 😂😂 they aren't even loved now 😂
That girl sat with him at the table looked bored 😑
Palms hit financial trouble in 2010, when it started missing loan payments.[7] Under an agreement reached with creditors TPG Capital and Leonard Green & Partners, they each received a 49% stake in the property in November 2011, in exchange for erasing about $400 million in debt.[7][8] The Maloof family retains a 2% share, with options to buy back up to 20%, and George Maloof continues to manage the property.[8]
Mr Man and you this how? Keep you nose outta Vegas business. You've been warned ya jackass loser
@@sirchumfordchumsleyiii6208 ahhahah wtf??! And now its named what?
Not sure what is more mind blowing.
High rollers that aren't Chinese or the fact that hard rock was a premier property at one point.
