Some of you follow Pompsie on YouTube and does some really good Vegas VLOGS. Back in September they kicked him out..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAXPQV52d78
The video got over 200k views with a lot of angry people.
They invite him back and give him this..

Huge publicity stunt on both accounts, but hopefully they learned their lesson the power of social media!
yeah cosmo sure was giving him a bj with this room hhh
surprised they gave him such a nice room for only 200k views on this video
has had good content usually
My thinking exactly. I can imagine all the people that are going to complain in the future hoping to get similar rewards. I mean why would Cosmopolitan even allow him to show that room when it is definitely out of the price range of the normal peep. That is for a whale. I think giving him a refund on the $200 room and an apology and maybe a $200 room comp would suffice without giving other people the idea to create drama and get likewise perks.Quote:

But I actually find most of his videos entertaining. Just went overboard on this one. I also found it amusing that he wears that ski cap almost everywhere, even in the fancy restaurant Cosmo comped him with. He is one of a kind.
Did anyone else find it slightly ironic how he describes being kicked out for having a camera in the Cosmo, when literally scores of slot channels (including myself) are always filming on the slot floor?

I've watched some of his videos and from what I take away is that he seems like a pretty non-confrontational guy and I believe they came at him pretty agressively.Quote:

Public assumptions without bothering to get or accept the facts/other side of the story are the reasons Americans can't get along with each other any more.Quote:

I am pretty sure from the quality of this guy's video he probably has some kind of crazy gimbal setup so it looks like more of a professional set-up than just some cell phone on a selfie tripod. that's prob why they were worried and some people Involved coulda been on a power trip
Well Ida . My Opinion is this dude didnt seem to be doing any thing wrong until security got a good look at his high dollar camera rig . Most v-bloggers ive seen just use a good cell phone do there recordings on so obviously they thought there was more going on then just him touring the casinos grounds and Just so you know I Did take time to watch a few more of his vids . he didnt seem overly appreciative or faltering of some of the property's he visited . but fortunately here in the U S were all allowed to have our own point of view . its what makes this country great isnt it .Quote:

Your second response doesn't clear it up much better but that's OK. It was a slow morning and I probably should have just wondered to myself. It's all good.[emoji846]Quote:

The bigger channels do have a full tripod on the floor, which is more obvious and takes up space vs a smaller channel like me that just uses my cell phone in my hand. I do believe his experience and what he is saying, but the rationale of “Cosmo does not allow filming” is definitely false.

Oops. It might be the bellagio.

The reason i said "maybe he has a bad reputation idk " was because the security guard made an observation about the possibility of porn being filmed in the room with the camera rig he had . i was just reading between the lines is all . im sure dude is a nice guyQuote:

@TwoArmedBandito I do have a question about the phones on the poker table. I see two phones in that picture. Are they allowed to video while they play or was this just between hands?Quote:

Being that they probably didn't know who he was and knew he wasn't a regular slot channel, I think they used their "no professional equipment allowed" line, as he said to protect their brand with an unknown, but maybe jumped the gun in reaching a good resolution to the problem that day. Very impressed that Cosmo reached out with a resolution that benefitted everyone in the end. [emoji846]Quote:

Some poker rooms allow video of hands and some dont. Phones are allowed at the table but if youre playing a hand, youre not allowed to use em.Quote:

Pokers different than other table games because in poker, youre playing against other players, in blackjack youre playing against the house. Casino is very strict about video at bj etc. If you notice, slot lady is at a private table.Quote:
