Ramble: Overpriced Experiences

As somebody without mechaniphobia, just calmly watching the guy pan around the robot dragon while Jenny puncuates the experience with "NO, NO, NO!!" Was quite amusing lol

if i want to feel pure vicarious fear ill rewatch the vegas segment

It is crazy how much damage Bob Chapek did. Iger & Eisner were still money hungry but they gave crumbs for the most part.

since watching this video i took jenny's advice of putting out feelers about the magic castle and it worked, turns out i have a friend of a friend whose brother is a member. and i don't even live in LA.

i would love a ramble topic of jenny reacting to 90's footage of vegas animatronics shows/rides if that kind of stuff exists-- i was very curious about what the boat ride in the pyramid would have been like

"THAT'S THE SKELETAL HAND OF MERLIN!" lol. This had me loosing it

The Excalibur (sorry, "King Arthur Hotel") abandoned dragon segment was 1000% the highlight!! It just kept getting better! Even though it was not on the original topic at all. Or maybe because it was not on the original topic. On the topic, the bath bombs segment was super fun and relatable. Also loved learning more about Club 33. I've never even considered trying to get in there because the barrier to entry is insanely high (not just money but connections, also I don't live in or near CA) and I appreciate that Jenny mentioned more than once that getting in is not a thing everybody can do. It is kind of odd though, that someone realistic enough to be hesitant about a "$5 bath" would overestimate the ease of getting into Magic Castle as a regular person.

idk if anyone will even see this comment lol but I went to the medieval fantasy themed hotel/casino in vegas (excalibur) with my parents when I was literally a toddler! this was in the early 2000s. I didn't see the animatronic show but I do remember seeing the sea serpent out and merlin's hut. inside the hotel they had these two massive purple dragon statues that I was obsessed with. I'd assume they're not there anymore but I guess I don't know for sure. we also went to shark reef at mandalay bay which I thought was really cool! if I ever went to las vegas again for some reason I'd definitely want to go there.

I lived in Vegas 21 years and never heard of a Caesars Palace animatronic show with talking statues. The only fountain show I know of was the Bellagio.

I’m forever angry at the Magic Castle bc my friends and I were scammed out of $200 bc the guy we were meant to see cancelled last minute and the castle refused any refunds because he wasn’t technically affiliated with them and they refused to get involved lol

I promise that not everyone in LA has been to that magic show thing

I'm years after this was posted, but if you can't find a magician or you're from out of town, the Magic Castle has a hotel and you can book a package with the hotel that gives you access to the club. I say this as if I'm a local; I'm a Bostonian who hasn't been further west than South Dakota, I just research the heck out of my interests.

I just died at Jenny yelling "AHHHH THAT'S THE SKELETAL HAND OF MERLIN!"

i cry-laugh about Jenny freaking out over the dragon animatronic every time i watch this 😂😂

I don’t get how Jenny can be both excited to see operating animatronics and terrified as soon as you put them behind a closed door and non operational. I just love hearing the screams of horror and disgust followed up by “oh that’s a nice little detail” “… The starcruiser one feels closer to completion.” Oh boy.

Watching this late but now am dying for you to do a video on the animatronics you find scariest!!!

Are future inflated 20$ taco bell nachos an overpriced experience?

I don’t see any comments about this so: Merlin update! Someone was able to take pictures inside the hut, and Merlin now has no head.

Oh, if you want a cool experience off strip check out The Boneyard-it’s the old Vegas sign graveyard and you can tour at night and everything will be lit up.

We got married at the Wynn in Vegas and it used to be my favorite place to visit for years, but it really has gotten so overpriced. We used to easily get rooms on the strip for cheap, you could get 99 cent prime rib meals as an example, and there was so much to see. They’ve been progressively taking out all the nostalgic stuff and the cost of everything is outrageous.

The way Jenny screams "it's a vALvE!!!" like it's a horrifying secret the dragon was keeping absolutely kills me every time.

"Bleeaaarghhh...this is so interesting....Aaaerrrcgghh...oh a valve....eearghhhh!!"

Also, just looked up Zabrecky, he's got hairless cat energy, I like him

Ok, crazy that you've been to the Magicians Castle! The same people who did Caesars Magical Realm also produced that I think.

Also, Caesars Palace (the place with the animatronic statues) used to have something called Caesars Magical Realm, which was a sort of dinner show themed to like, ancient Rome(?) And there were magicians walking around and performing magic tricks and it was like, super duper themed. Expedition Themepark did a video about it I believe

I've heard that Excalibur recently got refurbished, and the rooms are fairly nice. Haven't heard a lot good about Luxor though. Guys got murdered there.

Jenny freaking out about the dragon is such a highlight

I’d love to hear about the Rainbow Fish!

I'M SO AFRAID HE'S GOING TO TOUCH IT ooooh look at the joints on the wings that's nice....

I didn't know what submechanophobia was so I googled it and the pictures that came up made me jump and I had to close the tab as fast as I could. I guess I know a phobia that I have now 😭

your reaction to the dragon + merlin animatronics SENT me.

I had a VIP tour guide (on someone else's dime) in 2019 and there were some other benefits — I think we got unlimited fastpasses and photopass + reserved seating for world of color

As someone whose sister is in the very top end of the beauty industry - you are 100% correct. She's been in the industry for decades and has come to the exact same conclusion. Middle of the road and the very top end are basically indistinguishable.

Gasp you have a Blaze firefly plush from the Tinkerbell movie 😍

you should watch the safiya nygaard video about all of the vegas hotels before you take a vegas trip to help with the planning!

Oh my gosh and yes I am commenting again to say i always love your makeup and now i love that you use similar brands like i do lolol i could care less about 30$ makeup, i just need something to help me not look like a foot when i go to the store lol

I would love to just watch a video of you reacting to Just submechanophobia videos, I have similar reactions but i love love them so much 😭😭 so creepy and cool lolol

You should definitely watch Sofia Nygaard's Vegas video that came out recently! I think it would give you a lot more ideas of things to do next time you go to Vegas!

Please consider doing a "Kitsch Las Vegas" video. You could review the Luxor pyramid, the Excalibur Hotel (before it closes), the 70's themed Cortez Hotel and Roman themed Caesar's Palace.

jenny, are you still planning any content on the new fantastic beasts movie? i'd love to hear your thoughts

AHH I would love a rainbow fish video

Jenny who just got back from visiting several European theme parks "I don't know what kind of jetsetting lifestyle you guys think I lead"

We have done the VIP tour twice. Both in Disneyland. The first time was amazing, probably 4-5 years ago. We did it exactly as you laid out - one day for the min 6-8 hours. You get to "pick" your type of tour - history lessons or rides. We went for rides. We had a mixed group of a 6 year old (at the time), mom\aunt, and grandparents. So we were a mixed generation group. Our family expects to walk and stay busy on a vacation - so when we go to Disney we pack in from early am to end of night. We were probably there 2-3 days and only did the tour one day - as a way to make sure that we got to go on the rides we wanted multiple times. We had heard good things about the tour. One unexpected plus was even hustling around and speed walking everywhere we were not as tired as a normal Disney day since we were not standing around in lines all the time. Our tour guide was amazing and great with my nephew and my mom (grandma). Just a perfect level of friendly without being too "Disney" We were only going to do the VIP tour in Florida (if at all) since we didn't think it would be worth it again at Disneyland - but liked the tour guide aspect enough to think one day in FL at some point would be fun. Then COVID happened. Our first trip after vaccines was to San Diego (we figured we would probably not travel in US once travel really opened up and my nephew loved boats) in December 2021. Side note: the boat tours at San Diego are so worth it. We did the Vietnam (??) speeder boat - that was amazing and the actual Veterans were running it. I think the tickets were around 30.00 for an hour tour. So much fun! They let my nephew (then 10) drive it for about 10 minutes. Anyway, we tacked on a day trip to Disneyland for my nephew. Since we drove up (leaving around 3 am) to the park and drove back to San Diego that night we figured we would splurge with the VIP tour - we wanted to make sure we could ride the Rise of the Resistance (wasn't built the last time we were at the park) and make sure we didn't waste our day standing in lines in the park. It could not have been more of a letdown. The problem with the VIP tour (besides the cost) is it depends greatly on the tour guide. And ours on the second tour was not great. Nothing horrible of course and we are not the type to complain to customer service. But the personality was just off - I honestly kind of go the impression that he was a filler tour guide. He knew the park and could get us to the rides fine - but he never even introduced himself to everyone in the group (we only had 5 people). If you asked him a question he would answer - but not offer anything more or talk at all. Honestly we are not that chatty of a family - but it is very weird to be with someone 6/8 hours in a day and stand in lines with them and have them be silent. So you take a big risk on the personality of the tour guide. Another thing we noticed was that with the recent changes (removing fast passes, adding Genie +) there honestly wasn't much difference from paying for the fast passes on all the rides we would want. We didn't get on rides faster (the VIP just gets you to the fast pass entrance - so you still wait in lines, they are just shorter lines) One other thing that wasn't mentioned in the cost of the VIP tour is the tip for the guide - which was around 150.00. The other "perk" of the VIP tours was special VIP seating roped off for the firework shows at night (any day you had the tour - long after your tour ends). It was nice to have and we used it - but not something to tip your over on paying for a tour. Side note: we did the VIP tour for the San Diego zoo (not the safari). That still remains the best tour we have ever had. The guide was great - but the personality of the guide will not make/break your experience as you are getting dropped off (often backstage) for animal meet and greets. They have you fill out a survey before you go and say you might get 5-4 animals. You get driven in a golf cart everywhere - which was the major deciding factor as we had grandparents that can hike flat Disney but probably would not make it on the zoo hills. It might have just been that we didn't pick the common popular animals - but we told them to pick whatever they thought would be fun - but that the kid in the group LOVES cats, so any cats (no matter what type) would be great. Due to COVID they had extra barriers around all the cat exhibits (zoos had a lot of big cats die due to COVID) so we couldn't get as close as normal but we got to see so many cats (the fishing cat was the first and amazing to see as they had just fed him) Because we were super flexible (and didn't need to see the "popular" animals) I feel like they added about 6-7 more animals then normal. The only animal meeting we weren't that impressed by was the penguins - they are cute, but you can see them at any zoo. My sister asked for the Secretary Bird as a joke and we are pretty sure that we were the first group to ever request them. At each animal meeting you had your tour guide but then you also had 1-2 animal trainers that are assigned to care for that animal. They were the experts and you could ask any questions. The trainer for the Secretary Bird was great - but you got the feeling that she had no idea what to say to interest a tour group as no one picks that bird for tours. They were great birds and look very weird close up. All through the tour our guide kept saying we might have a special meet and greet at the end. We kind of forgot about it as we had seen so many animals. And then he pulled up to a stadium type place (I think where they have a bird show?) and we filed in to this huge empty stadium and get brought down to some seats a couple rows back. The bring out a golden retriever and we thought it was going to be a cute dog that might do tricks - nope - it was a cheetah! It was so awesome to see one that close and to find out how nervous they are (the dog was its companion). It was an amazing end to a wonderful day. The zoo tour (at least at the San Diego zoo) was very worth it. Also worth it: tours when in non-English speaking countries. We just got back from Italy (Nov 2022) and all of our tours (in particular the Napals\Pompeii) were amazing (except for a weird walking food tour in Venice - that lady hated Americans :) ). It is money well spent - you already paid a ton to get over there (and took the long plane ride) you might as well know what you are looking at. Not only do you get to see more (usually have a driver to get you places vs walking or using buses) but you get the history. Which for Italy was needed. While I wasn't a fan of going to the Vatican for personal reasons - we did go (how can you not if you are in Rome - I was out voted). Having the private tour got us in early, missing the crowds and you had someone knowledgeable explaining the the art. I know that there are audio tours, but having a tour guide to direct us through to the "highlights" and the things she thought we would like was great and got us out in a couple of hours while still feeling like we saw what should be seen. My sister\mom did have a mixed bag on the tour guides in France (summer 2022) - I think the Monte Saint Michelle tour guide was good. But the flea market tour guide in Paris gave the impression that he didn't think much of them as they're not buying expensive antique at his friends shops. I know that Paris (not France) has a stereotype on hating tourist (especially Americans), but when I was there (Dec 2019) we had an amazing time with everyone we interacted with (granted we where only there one night as we took a spur of the moment train ride from Zurich). Our guide in Paris (it was a night driving tour in a classic car for a couple hours) said we were one of the only tours that he had go to more of the city than normal as we didn't car to get out and take pictures at every stop. The first tour guide we really had was a trip to Japan (Nov 2018) - it was a last minute trip and we only had 3 days - 2 nights. On the one full day we had we wanted to see Tokyo but knew we would have no hope in navigating the city in any efficient manner - and we would have been right, the trains are great but not easy for a tourist to understand. Our tour guide was amazing, she was great with my nephew (probably around 7 at the time) and was great at knowing what to recommend (as we figured she would know the city best) I believe most of our tours were booked through "tours by locals" - if you plan on traveling to a non-English speaking country (and you don't know someone locally) you really should look into a tour guide of some sort - even if it is just for certain days\sites. tl;dr - VIP in Disneyland is not worth it. Tour guides for elect sites\days for international travel to non-English speaking countries is a must!

Yesssss so hyped that Jenny also stans the ELF liquid eyeliner, I feel very validated

I thought I was just a wimp for closing my eyes on the Jaws ride as a kid and refusing to go on the Jurassic Park ride because the idea of giant animatronics, underwater or no, TERRIFIED me (and if I'm being honest the thought of them still makes me break into a cold sweat), but it's vindicating to know I have an actual phobia. It will be even more vindicating when they finally start coming to life and killing people, which I know to be inevitable.

Hi Jenny, I've told my elderly mother about your videos and she found this and wondered if you'd be interested in the story: https://www.walesonline.co.uk/lifestyle/nostalgia/frozen-time-cruise-ship-docked-25509645

I’m an out of state passholder for Disney world and i know a lot of previous APs don’t like the changes there either. We actually like genie + way more than we liked the old pass system. We could never get rides when we decided to just pop in for a day but now everyone is sort of on a more even playing field which we enjoy (y’a know minus hotel guests having access earlier) but we really enjoy our passes. I know that it’s not a good deal for everyone. Being out of state definitely changes how we feel too I think cause when we go it’s a big trip so it’s afforded us easier access even with the reservation system. I will say we’ve never had an issue getting a reservation even during Christmas week. Anyways. Thank you for being good content always and when it’s 3:30am and i can’t sleep because I haven’t taken my sleeping medicine lol. You’re a relaxing presence

remembers the name of Wynn's Lake of Dreams but doesn't remember that the Bellagio and Caesar's Palace are separate hotels, and neither is Atlantis-themed 😂

Pausing on the magic castle part to ask whether that was the inspiration for the magician’s alliance on arrested development 😂

Absolutely here for RAINBOW FISH

Jenny should dine at Heart Attack Grill in Vegas. Very tacky place.

still watching the video, but oh my god your reaction to the dragon and Merlin were priceless 😭 the way you screamed "oh OH MY GOD - it's a valve!!" and also how correct you were in describing Merlin's hand as "skeletal" are the highlights for me

I have not heard of submechanaphobia until today and apparently I do not experience it because I was SUPREMELY confused my the amount of distress it caused you until you said it and I looked it up. I knew some people had a general fear of animatronics but that also I assumed you did not have for obvious reasons lmao of everything I'm moooost excited for the Barbie video, but, eveything coming up sounds good!

I love how the selling point of the animatronic frog show is that the frog puts on a hat.

"I think I'm over it" She said, before clearly demonstrating the she was not in fact over it.

rainbow fish would be rad as heck. my little brother was obsessed with the tv show and would replay the dvd we had of the first season constantly

checking in at 999K ready to celebrate 1 million subs!!!

I would love a rainbow fish video I was hoping that's what your tweets were hinting at

but i'll always be thankful that my "love' for you was my excuse for not inviting home a lovely woman with several teeth missing. Kind regards, Rob

hi Jenny, i would just like to say that, while i parasocially fell in love with you, i recently went to a pool and fell more in love with an off duty lifeguard who was actually there.

At the end of the episode you said you don't know if anyone here is new from the Evermore video and that's me! I clicked on your Evermore video completely like "I wonder what this is about!" And then I watched all of your videos, even the ones about Star Wars, a franchise I have never seen and have absolutely no interest in. I'm happy to be here and I am extremely looking forward to the Rainbow Fish video. That was my favorite book as a kid.

The Pirate Show that Las Vegas did was amazing. Seems like something Jenny would have enjoyed. Oh and Omega Mart is in Vegas. Seems like the perfect thing for a theme park enthusiast.

How about the Fantastic Beasts 3 video

Oh man, Dollywood used to have that exact vulture at the Mystery Mine ride

Jenny, you're killin me - I need the Barbie vid!!

You're SO right about makeup + skincare. Drugstore is good for eyeliner, mascara, brow pencils, maybe lip products and then mid-tier brands like Anastasia Beverly Hills/Charlotte Tilbury/etc are good for foundation, blush (complexion products) and eyeshadows. Basically anything where the pigment/coverage/skincare ingredients is important you want to splurge on those products! However, you're right that you hit a quality ceiling where it's best to save $20 and buy a Fenty foundation vs a Gucci foundation.

RAINBOW HIGH MENTION (visually)!!!!! 🎉 🎊 🎉🎊🎉🎊 🌈 🌈

I cannot wait for your Efteling video. Went there myself as a kid and young adult, then moved to the US, and am now taking my own kid there in a week. Can't wait to go, and can't wait to see your take on it!

These ramble videos make you by far the highest value per dollar Patreon creator of the, like, 20 people on my creator list. I give to other creators to support their public material, but in your case it’s because I get a lot more quality stuff to watch. Thank you for all the hard work.

Maybe I haven't been paying enough attention, but I never would have pegged Jenny for someone with submechanophobia. Or...the non sub/water equivalent? I guess this would be the animatronic equivalent to a corpse or zombie.

Next ramble video: Jenny reacts to submechanaphobia & abandoned theme parks

The "King Arthur" hotel was overpriced and awful. I had to stick my finger inside of my tv to turn it on. If you're gonna do tacky, stay at Circus Circus, the rooms were nicer and it was a 1/5 of the price. (oh, and the neon museum is awesome.)

Watching Jenny shriek through the animatronic video was hilarious but then she posted that video about the Moby Dick animatronic lost in a lake on twitter and the first shot of it made me so nervous that when the animatronic appeared I screamed and dropped my phone so I guess the jokes on me 🤷‍♀️

The pyramid hotel is horrible, I just stayed there and had to kill a roach on my first night, plus they forgot to put towels in the room and everything was dirty or broken. 0/10 do not recommend. Just visit the casino if you want to see it.

avatar and rainbow fish videos but just make one a shitpost

An avatar video would be so fun! But also rainbow fish would be unexpected and interesting

does anyone know if the barbie video is on hold/cancelled? the preview Jenny shared was so good! I hope it does come out at some point!

I lived in Japan for 8 years and went to either Disney Sea or TDL about once a year! Let me know if you need someone to do some digging re: tour guide availability.

designer makeup is totally a scam, i don’t think i’ve seen one that’s better than the mid tier stuff. And the kylie lipsticks were literally just made by the same people who make colourpop, they didn’t even change the scent. it’s insane

I went to Vegas as a kid and we stayed at the pyramid hotel, I remember nothing about Vegas except going on the elevator that moved diagonally against the incline of the pyramid, that blew my stupid kid mind that I wanted to ride up and down the elevator like 20 times. Kudos to my mom bc if my kid wanted to ride an elevator for like an hour straight I would’ve just left it there. Didnt see any ghosts tho. Maybe I’ll go back for the elevator and ghosts.

I'm sure if it's an interesting story it'll be in the video but I can't help but be curious what kicked off the Rainbow Fish rabbit hole

I went on the boat ride at Luxor! Honestly not sure why my family went to Vegas, we're not gamblers, but I was quite young. The ride had a tour guide at the front of the boat, and there were tunnel entrances that had like water coming down out of them, and the tour guide was like "who wants to get wet" and of course me being a small dumb child thought they were being serious and I was like ME! I want to be splashed! Obviously that did not happen. :(

You worked so hard on the Evermore video, it deserves every single one of those views. Well done!!! 👏 And Avatar can wait, do Rainbow Fish! Your reaction to the dragon and Merlin was a JOURNEY, thank you for sharing with us.

I lived in Vegas for 20 years this was great. Also I recommend Panchos or Tacotarian for vegan if you ever go back

This video reaffirmed for me why I have never wanted to go to Vegas... but that magic castle sounded cool af!

Watching this again, its so funny how at the end she says the Evermore video might hit 3 million views "at some point in December" and then it gets there literally the day after she posted this. So glad the video is killing it!

oh my god when you scrolled ahead and he was inside the dragon, your reaction was fucking priceless lol

Pls don't make me self aware of how many 10 dollar baths I've taken

I assumed Galactic Starcruiser would come up. I was SOOOO excited for this as a Star Wars nerd, then saw the price was basically prohibitively expensive for me AND everything I saw looked like it wasn't remotely worth the price and I just noped out of that for the foreseeable future

they have called me a fool, they have laughed at me in derision, yet I am still here, waiting for the Barbie Video.

The dream suite was there when i went in 1999! I attended a dessert party and watched fantasmic from the balcony!!

I am so sick of Jenny flexing on us. We get it, you're horse famous AND you know two magicians.

The official saw escape room is in Vegas!!!! They actually used the escape room to film later saw movies since they had demolished the original bathroom set and the escape room like identical! :) so it’s movie history too!

Incidentally we went to Las Vegas about a month after 9/11. I wanted to stay at Excalibur but I think we stayed at Sahara or Circus Circus. We visited the other hotels though and I think I remember having lunch at Luxor. I was 11 years old and I remember there was a convenience store selling toy slot machines and I wanted one (I guess because it was colourful?) and my parents probably suddenly had apprehensions about coming to Las Vegas at all haha

speaking of the annual passes though, i got my annual pass in paris for the first time (we still get parking and merch discounts…for now lol) and i have to say the reservation system hasn't felt nearly as punishing as people have made it sound. the one time i was stressed out was my birthday weekend, which fell on a holiday and the first day of the christmas season, and i was still able to book all the days i wanted for 2 annual passes + guest tickets for the rest of my family. on non-holidays it's usually possible to get reservations day of. though I fully understand people who used to be able to swing by are frustrated by it, especially if they live in the area (i'm a few hours away from the park so i have to plan my trips anyway). it's definitely a matter of perspective.

nooo not you selling me on club 33 jfksljfslkdjf also yes i also remember the one time i went to Vegas we checked out the Luxor (didn't stay there but i had to go as an egypt nerd) and i was shocked by the low railings everywhere. like it feels like you could tip over by accident. especially since i'm pretty tall it felt unsafe.

I put this on so I'd have something to listen to in the background while working on a comic and, no joke, the comic is about an urban explorer who finds a nasty dragon kept alive underneath a theme park. felt like my stupid horror story had somehow manifested into this video and i was in the twilight zone for a few minutes there

I have submechaniphobia and I just gotta say I’m SO glad that dragon wasn’t still underwater 😭 I thought I was gonna have to skip that whole section but I managed to get through with only general unease and disgust

The dragon indeed breathed fire. I saw the video, it was sick!

I was stationed at Nellis in Las Vegas in the early 00's and remember there still being a lot of family forward entertainment in the popular spots like indoor big cat exhibits. There were also cool things like outdoor concerts on Freemont Street that you could just accidentally stumble into. I guess I might have caught the tail end of a less guided Vegas experience.

I wasn't expecting a Jenny Freak Out in the middle of this video, but here we are haha.

Legally you can refuse resort fees in Nevada! Spread the word! (Google it to figure out the details but it's totally shady on the hotels' part)

Wait... Is the Magic Castle what the Magicians Alliance and the Gothic Castle in Arrested Development were referencing?

If anyone goes to Vegas and is looking for really great vegan food check out The Modern Vegan. I was in Vegas for 3 days and went there twice. Chicken & waffles, breakfast burritos, tofu scrambles. So good. There's also a haunted house I've wanted to go to called Zak Bagans' The Haunted Museum.

Sorry if this is a dumb question as someone who's just now watching your back log of Patreon vids, but was the Knott's Berry Farm Mystery Lodge video completely given up on? Or is it on the backburner still? You seemed super stoked about it and I'm like verrrry in the dark about that park. Never went to theme parks as a kid (and can't really afford to even now), so it's been fun watching stuff from you and Defunctland.

vegas is cool if you only go to the pinball hall of fame and nowhere else

27:11 ARGH OH NO OH IT'S A VALVE OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH OH I COULD VOMIT THIS IS SO OH I HATE THIS but it's so interesting though, you know? UUURGH EURGH It's detailed though, that's good.

I'm also terrified of animatronics coming to life and attacking me, but fascinated by how cool they are. I live in Japan and went to Tokyo DisneySea for the first time this summer. One of the best rides in the park was Journey to the Center of the Earth which has an AMAZING Lava Monster animatronic and we got stuck on the ride right as we were finishing going past it. I was the one closest to it and I was absolutely terrified the whole ~2 mins we were stuck as it continued to do it's creepy movement back and forth. 10/10 animatronic though, very cool the other times we went on and didn't get stuck.

haha didn't the animatronic vulture speak for Bailey but not Jenny?

This entire video was amazing and the dragon video segment might be some of my favorite content ever, sorry to say. Something about you, usually very calm and composed, completely losing it was very very unexpected and very very funny.

Thank you for braving the dragon video for us 🙏

Hey, Jenny. As someone who recently stayed at The Luxor (The pyramid shaped hotel in Las Vegas) I 100% DON'T recommend it. The elevators are terrifying, the view from below is horrifying, and the only two attractions it has is the Titanic Museum & The Body Exhibit. Instead, you should stay at Circus, Circus. I stayed there back in 2015, and There's an entire Amusement Park on the third floor.

rainbow fish! rainbow fish! rainbow fish! rainbow fish!

I loved the reaction to the dragon animatronic. It was made particularly funny to me by the fact that it registers about the same as someone reacting that way to, like, an apple. Like, just a totally neutral object. I don’t understand it but I respect it, haha. Thank you for the video!

A Houdini seance is a bit ironic, as Houdini devoted a lot of his life to debunking such things. Also I think all pyramids are haunted.

The vacillating between disgusted horror and whimsy filled fascination at the dragon was amazing.

Other great experiences in Las Vegas include * the Lady Gaga Museum in the...MGM Park Plaza (I think), and * the Atomic Testing Museum, just off the Strip, where you can see all the kitschy, 1950's entertainment they built in the pop-up nuke towns, plus the cool Disney-copyright-infringing participation awards given to the brave men and women of Project Gnome. https://live.staticflickr.com/5452/10006235445_a6f6f6539f_b.jpg * and Liberace's cars are supposed to be in the LV Hollywood Cars Museum, which also houses the General Lee and Herbie the Love Bug and KITT and such.

Back about 40 years ago, when I was 12 or so, my family did the VIP experience at Magic Kingdom. Our package included lunch at Cinderella Castle, which I recall as being mediocre food, but a very cool experience (the male waitstaff, I swear to you, had Prince Valiant style haircuts... I imagine the female staff had similar Middle Ages dos, but I don't recall). My father ultimately believed that, while expensive, the VIP thing was entirely worth it. You know, in 1983. The day was 100% hassle-free for its entire duration, in keeping with what you'd expect (at least at that time) from Disney. We went on each Space Mountain and the Haunted Mansion twice consecutively, just because we could. I've never had a Disney theme park experience before or since that even came close. This was, again, 40 years ago. The experience -- in terms of the guide who catered to us to a degree with which we were actually a little uncomfortable (we were not the sort of family to request that hot churros be awaiting us at the end of Pirates of the Caribbean) -- was very similar to what you describe, but I have no idea to what degree the cost was comparable to what it is now. I'm hardly disputing your feelings on the contemporary experience, so much as shamelessly waxing nostalgic for an ancient family vacation in this space. This was spring of '83, when EPCOT was brand new, which was the main incentive for this visit. I seem to recall there was no equivalent VIP experience available for EPCOT, but that it wasn't really needed (this was April '83, during spring vacation, and the park -- while hyped to an inconceivable degree -- was not especially crowded).

jenny, I am so appreciative that you are a person that has the afforadbility to experience these things, and the honesty to tell us what you really thought of these experiences. your statements about the shame involved in admitting hard earned money was wasted are important and more relevant than ever. I sure hope people considering family disney trips can see videos like this-it really does hurt my heart to think people save up for years for the idyllic vacation and might get a less than sub-par experience, just so some bigass corporate conglomerate can squeeze some cash out of the public. once again, thank you!

Sooooooo funny story: I may know who the ghost is. My dad used to own nightclubs and he had a DJ who actually died after falling Over the railings.

"She felt like she was going to die the whole time, so that's not a wringing endorsement." These are good, J.

Five of those 3 million Evermore views are mine and I am pretty likely to watch it again because it is epic!

"Ughhh it's a valve." New Jenny moto.

I'm a big makeup girl and I 1000% agree on the points you made; I'll shell out occasionally for a nice eyeshadow palette,* but the vast majority of what I use can be bought at Ulta or a particularly well-stocked Target. *and by "shell out" I mean "I'll spend maybe $30 at the most"; I was obsessed with the packaging for that Disney Villains palette Bésame released earlier this year, but I just...cannot justify spending $100+ on eyeshadow.

You may enjoy the Vegas Neon Museum, its just a display of past strip hotel signs, but it's very kitschy and you can walk right up to them and they're huge.

OMG listening to you watch the dragon was fantastic.

Kind of shocked to hear you're not a makeup person, because your makeup and winged eyeliner is always perfect!

Oh I see Costume Ball Bella

I screamed so loud when I realized he was inside the dragon

I didnt even read rainbow fish as a kid, but i have a feeling i will watch that video on repeat

I did the Houdini seance at the Magic Castle as well. I also went with a friend of a friend for her birthday. It was my understanding that you have to be kinda an elite member for them to do the seance for your birthday. Magic Castle is very much worth it if you realize your food won't be amazing.

Very intrigued by rainbow fish................

ok i agree that the cheapest makeup can be the best ever, but also, weirdly, i have extremely sensitive skin on my face lmao, and the cheap Eyeliners literally burn my eyes. BUT im also allergic to some ingredient that is common among all make up products

I am here for even the simplest notion of rainbow fish content

Didn't know I needed a rainbow fish video until you suggested it, but yeah, I definitely do.

Jenny's reaction to the abandoned animatronic is so visceral lol. I wonder if it's because when someone really believes in the magic of animatronics, it feels like they're really alive. And so wandering around a 'dead' one is like wandering around a corpse?

omg I was praying that you were dropping hints about a rainbow fish video i have never been so excited

I experienced some of your ideal 90's Vegas one Thanksgiving. My family had breakfast in the MGM Grand and I remember LOVING the Wizard of Oz animatronics. We did a very lame, overpriced 3D/motion simulator ride in the Luxor. (We all regretted it). I remember watching the dragon show outside the Excalibur (in the cold) and thinking it was pretty cute. Then we went inside the Excalibur to wait in a 2+ hour line to eat a Thanksgiving meal that wasn't great. :) Decades later my family still groans about that dinner experience. We should have gotten take out in our room!

My wife grew up in Nevada and frequently visited Vegas. She suggested there could be multiple old gross dragons hiding in old water features, not just at Excalibur. From a more whimsical era. You could go monster hunting on your next trip.

More Vegas: I second the Neon Museum (or Neon Boneyard)... to get to see in person the crazy amount of skill and artistry (and size) of so many of the retired, famous neon signs. Part of your admission includes a tour which was great. And at night they do a show (at a different location, but on the property) that completely exceeded expectations. "A 45-minute show in the North Gallery using light projection to illuminate unrestored signs and incorporates music and archival footage to transport guests into Las Vegas’ history." The lighting tech they use is incredibly beautiful, the music, etc .. so immersive.

As a fellow vegetarian, I have eaten way too many plates of dry quinoa with underseasoned roast vegetables. Yesterday my toddler put ketchup and cucumber spears on a hot dog bun at dinner and I was like "yup, welcome to the rest of your life".

The Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas is pretty cool. It's filled with playable pinball machines for old movie/TV properties and has some 50+ year old arcade games as well.

Zac Baggins' The Haunted Museum! I'm not into the paranormal, etc normally, but this place completely blew my mind. It's *so* well done. All the little details, the fantastic guides, as well as the insane actual items they have ... I would have paid double what they charged. Very theatrical in the best way and legit spooky as hell - so much fun. Here's the description: Paranormal museum with 30 spooky rooms & winding corridors in a reputedly haunted 1938 mansion.

the pyramid hotel is weird because no matter what room you’re in, one of the walls is on a 45 degree angle and makes everything feel more congested. also it’s just a normal hotel on the inside, the outside of it is the main attraction. but i think it’s the cheapest one

it's $30 to park at disneyland now big yikes

If you’re passionate about the rainbow fish then yeah we’ll want to listen to you talk about the fish

When the rainbow fish calls, you got to answer :D

TBH I probably would have touched the dragon animatronic too.

Jenny's visceral reaction to the Excalibur dragon alone is worth a year's worth of Patreon 😆

Counter-topic, but if "on a budget" ever wins, you should check out the Museum of Jurassic Technology in LA.

I definitely have the same traveling style as you! Especially the meatless options thing.

I really appreciate that you're also a vegetarian because I need that solidarity especially with theme park food. That, there's only one option you can eat and it's both vegan and gluten free, disappointment is profound and frequent. Sometimes it's so hard to explain to others how disappointing restaurants experiences are when it's like this. I feel like post-pandemic Disneyland vegetarian food is really guilty of this. I'm super tired of the only vegetarian option being Impossible meatballs and pasta. I was lucky enough to be invited to The Magic Castle by a member once and I do have to say it was some of the most fun I've ever had. We did 4 different shows, skipped dinner, and went bar hopping to watch the bartenders perform. If you get a chance to go, I honestly recommend it to anyone. I totally agree the main show isn't that important as my favorite show of the night was recommended by our sponsor member, and it was with under ~40 people in a very intimate theatre. That performance was incredibly impressive - we were right up in his illusions and couldn't tell you a thing about how he did them.

I love Jenny watching a video that shows an old animatronic and proceeding to get utterly freaked out about the animatronic, but not turning the video off.

rain bow fish !

I really liked Cirque du Soleil in Vegas (we went to the Beatles one). Also food. But it's a 2 day max thing. Also I think you should do Meow Wolf or something similar.

I'm 100% on board with rainbow fish.

I'm not gonna lie I laughed so hard at jenny's horror over abandoned animatronics. I've been there man lol

I’ve been enjoying the rainbowfish clips on twitter so I’m excited for that…

I saw both the animatronic statue shows at Caesar's Palace, and the Caesar's Palace Twitter account beat me to the punch in saying one of them is very much Atlantis themed (Atlantis fell and it seemed like a Pterodactyl was involved?), and that's definitely the better one, although also the more out-of-the-way one. In the other, various statues put on a show for, I wanna say Bacchus, but it felt like something wasn't working when I saw it, because the statue would say "Check this out," and Bacchus would say "AMAZING!" or "ASTOUNDING!" and what was actually happening was a mild laser light show. Which felt underwhelming. And my friends and I were ready to be a great audience, we'd killed time before the show by drinking triple-strength margaritas at the FAO Schwartz, and when an employee was showing off magic kits, we were responding like he was David Copperfield, we were ready to be enthusiastic. That guy sold a bunch of magic kits that day. But aside from the fact that nobody stops you from getting drunk on the street/in a toy store, the main thing I like about Vegas is Cirque shows. O is spectacular and Zumanity was super fun and they're only in Vegas, so my priorities on a Vegas trip are 1) enjoy some ridiculous unsustainable opulence for a bit; 2) gamble for 40 minutes over the whole three days; 3) Cirque show. On that note, if the next video is the long-discussed Toruk video, that's fine and good and I'll enjoy it, but it only took three tweets for me to be 100% invested in a Rainbow Fish video. I had never heard of Rainbow Fish a week ago but now I want to hear all about how this aquatic Giving Tree of a fish became an international cross-media phenomenon and also a pool champion.

The best thing in Vegas hands down is the Neon Museum!! They do guided tours in the evenings with a bunch of the signs lit up and talk about like the history of old Vegas, highly recommend!

I like Vegas and by chance was just there last week. It is overpriced but what I find is to first have a reason to go, like a specific show you want to see. Second, go for 2-3 nights max. The expenses add up and the wow factor fades fast by the third day. Since you are in LA like me that is easier to do then if you lived on the East Coast or something like that.

follow the rainbow fish

Also with your reaction to the dragon/nightmares about animatronics, I had the same thing when I was a kid. I used to be terrified of dolls and puppets and animatronics, I was really freaked out by uncanny valley. But now as an adult, I've collected dolls and I'm fascinated by animatronics and ventriloquism. I'm wondering if anyone else had this? Like able to trace it back to an uncanny valley fear?

The fountain show at Caesar's Palace was a huge disappointment. That was one of the things my friends roped me in on because they're animatronics. But the acoustics in that space are so godawful that I had no idea what was happening and it was just watching a bunch of jerky movements with no context in a huge crowd of people. Also went to Vegas in April, the weather was pretty bearable at that time.

Jenny: *has watched all the SAW films* Also Jenny: *visceral reactions of disgust and horror at watching a man touch an old animatronic*

man so disappointed to hear club 33 used to have a whole separate vegetarian menu, i went Nov 2021 with another vegetarian and we notified the staff at the time of reservation and again when we ordered but only got the 1 option per course

I just came from a convention in Vegas and it was my least favorite place ever! It really is just a bunch of malls.

I was weirdly scared that the man was going to break the dragon. I know it is covered in rust and probably 0% of the electronics still work, but it still feels wrong to just walk up and waggle moving parts around.

As a big makeup person- 100% accurate. The only time I'll spend more than $30 is specifically for packaging/branding I think is cute, and veeerrrrry rarely I'll buy something in the $50 range if it's unique or something I specifically really like using. All makeup is really minor variations of the same ingredients, luxury makeup is just drug store makeup with a different label.

sorry if someone already asked this, are you going to do a Million Subscriber thing? LIke when you get the Youtube plaque?

Most of those experiences did seem pretty reasonably priced for what you got out of them. Nothing on the level of a Hallmark hot chocolate party at least.

The video of the dragon made me physically ill. I had no idea I was afraid of that stuff.

Jenny's unfiltered reaction to the dragon is everything I needed

If Club 33 was that good, I personally don't think $200 is hugely overpriced given the location. Where I am in Belfast, that kind of five/six course menu at a really, really good fine dining restaurant could easily be £140 (admittedly with wine pairings), which pretty much would have been $200 until relatively recently and I reckon the general difference in wages and prices between LA and Northern Ireland could be close to offsetting the wine pairings. Now, you could argue that that kind of fine dining is intrinsically overpriced but I honestly don't think it is. As a rare treat, the sheer decadence and deliciousness of what you're getting combined with the sheer skill and ingredient quality that went into making it makes it well worth the money for me. What a lot of miss about that type of meal (but that you were prepared for) is that, even when the courses look small, if the restaurant is doing it right then the sheer richness and indulgence of the heartier dishes will make sure that you leave stuffed to the gills. I vividly remember, years ago, having to lie on a bench after one meal for about half an hour because it was far, far too good not to eat every bite but I physically couldn't drag myself home by the end (they were super-nice and absolutely would have let me lay up on one of the sofas in the lobby if I'd asked but I needed the fresh air). I barely even scratched the surface of my cheese plate that night so my lunches for the next couple of days were also the stuff dreams are made of. EDIT: Reading that back, I used the word 'sheer' a lot in that comment. Not my finest work. Anyway, just wanted to note the interesting parallel between how you view make-up pricing and how I view whisky/whiskey pricing. If you jump from the £15-20 "bottom shelf" range to the £35-40 range, the difference can be staggering. There are serious world-class bottlings in that region. If you jump up to £150 - £250 for flagship 18 or 21 year single malts, yes, they'll be unique experiences and they'll (usually) be at least as good as their cheaper cousins but I can probably only think of one (Redbreast 21) that was 100%, no-doubt-in-my-mind worth the massive price hike. Glengoyne 21 was straight-up not as good Glengoyne 12 in my book (although that's a very, very high bar - Glengoyne 12 is very much one of those world-beaters I was talking about). Sorry, massive tangent that was barely related to the video's topic and that I'll be lucky if more than a couple of people find remotely interesting. Still, though.

“All of my nightmares are about animatronics.” Poor Jenny, there’s gonna be SO many Five Nights at Freddy’s topics in the next few months 😂

Isn't Omega Mart in Las Vegas and Jenny enjoyed that? I'd still like to see Vegas for myself to at least say I've been. I've gone to Reno a few times and that was kinda lame, so I'm hoping Las Vegas is better.

"UGH I COULD COMMIT URGH... But it is interesting though" the duality of man

as a semi-reformed makeup junkie I just have to say… you’re right about luxury brands and you should say it.

Ha, as a former Lush employee it’s always interesting when people say they don’t like the smell - i get migraines from a lot of scents but lush is very soothing bc they don’t use as many artificial scents (actually why i hate snow fairy, it’s so plasticky??), meanwhile i can’t step foot near a b&bw without a lingering headache lol. Plus, if even half their labor practices that they told us about are true, they are one of the most ethical places to shop from. Oh, and protip: only use the whole bath bomb if it’s one of the really small ones (like 2” diameter? i can’t remember offhand), otherwise, break them in half, or quarters if it’s one of the really big ones. In humid climates, the fizzing will fade faster so they don’t keep in storage as well, but if you just want the scent and water softness they’ll last a very long time. Ok, lush info dump over lol 🥲👍

The “dining in the dark” experience in Las Vegas is vegetarian friendly (but you don’t pick the food- it’s a surprise!) and I thought it would be very gimmick-y but it radically changed my relationship with having a meal! Super fun. The Canyon Ranch spa includes a day pass with a $50 ($30?) service. I could’ve spent 8 hours there easy jumping between the jacuzzi and the themed light show showers.

Also one of my coworkers swore to me that the Galactic Starcruiser is so worth it, especially if you split the cost of a room among friends, and I HAVE to go before they close it, and I didn't say it, but I was just like I don't believe you 😂

The live dragon reaction was wonderful. I wish it had video.

I stayed at The Mirage in Vegas for a work trip a couple months ago, and that hotel had the longest damn hallways I've ever seen. And of course they put me all the way at the end of the hall. A good candidate for ghosts I think. One of my coworkers got a room at the front of the hall, but it was weirdly off-kilter, like we put a ball on the ground, and it rolled across the room. Is the whole hallway on a slight incline? Idk anyways I wanted to go to Omega Mart based on your review of it, but I didn't have time unfortunately 😂 Guess I just have to go back.

Talking about the sunk cost fallacy without using the term

1) I have watched the Evermore video twice already and I'm SO happy it's near 3 mil views! You deserve it! 2) The way you watched the abandoned animatronic footage like it was a body horror film was so endearing, thanks for including that in this.

A question!!! Re 22:00 and 9/11… maybe it’s just because I’m not American but I’m confused about how 9/11 affected Las Vegas? Genuinely curious!!!

Gotta say that it was very funny hearing Jenny go between horrified and intrigued in single sentences. "ewww ew ew oh no he's touching it oh those are the joints of the wings that's nice ewww don't get too close"

Merlin was terrifying, an absolute horror show. Great video!

I think your reaction to that rotting mote dragon is the most emotional I’ve ever heard you in a video 😂

I’ve never related to anything more than Jenny freaking out about the dragon animatronic

Really sad to hear how much Disney parks have gone downhill. Does anyone know how Jenny feels about Bob Iger coming back as CEO?

Yeah the dragon was pretty spooky but the most disturbing part of the video was near the end when I heard that green was being used to indicate "incomplete" and yellow was being used for "complete". Green means "good to go" and yellow means "hold on this isn't done yet"; that's just how colours work.

I'm so confused by the reaction to the dragon animatronic 😂

Oh my god...that magician school sounds like the coolest thing lol

if you are ever in oregon i recommend going to the enchanted forest, even though it is my place of nightmares as a child, because there's lots of animatronics but they are not well taken care of 💀 not as bad as the dragon though, so i think you'd be okay

*in regards to the makeup portion* whenever you have to put a bunch of disclaimers before just stating a very VALID opinion it makes me feel sad knowing that you've probably gotten backlash for such simple things before and what its done to your mental health, even on patreon. I want to hope we make this part of your community feel a bit safer <3

I was a 90s kid and saw all of this stuff when it was actually affordable for and marketed toward families! I loved the big volcanoe on the strip and the fountain show at the ballagio was awesome. Excalibur basically had a super high quality medieval times type show, I loved that and all the magic shows when I was young! Now it's all so overpriced and I think the marketing is mostly directed at single people and seems kind of sleezy

On another note, I'm always disheartened to hear all of the latest experiences with planning Disney trips. I would love to plan a trip for me and my brother; he's Autistic and needs a fair amount of support. I think he'd do a lot better now that he's in his 30s compared to when we were kids, but with how inflexible things sound, I can't really imagine the experience would be much fun for either of us. Back in the Fast Pass days many years ago, my mom and him rode Thunder Mountain, like, 10 times in a row on our last day at the park. Might be tougher to do stuff like that now. On the other hand, while a trip to Universal may not have as many recognizable IPs for him, we could ride the Hogwarts Express back and forth as much as we want...

Jenny reacting to the Vegas dragon is the funniest thing I've watched lately lol.

Volunteering as tribute for the coveted Disney Sea 10th slot if no one else is available.

It's such a relief that Jenny can consistently and seemingly effortlessly make me laugh out loud since so much that everyone else finds funny nowadays does nothing for me and I sometimes wonder if my sense of humor is just irrevocably broken or something.

wait a minute you mean arrested development is real

A theme park fan being secretly scared of animatronics is a little too on the nose.

Can confirm that MGM Grand Adventures Theme Park was pretty fun. Went there as a teenager in the mid-90s.

The one time I went to Vegas I ended up married for a year. So that was definitely spendy.

When you mentioned the magicians classes at Magic Castle, I forgot that magicians were a real thing separate from wizards, so my mind went immediately to wizarding classes out of Harry Potter. I just kept nodding along like "hmm, interesting"

Honestly I can't believe that the Excaliber Hotel is still a thing. It's so dated! These days the medieval theme might be cool and all but the sanitized white cheesy castle just doesn't cut it. Who knows, maybe it's doing okay but I have to think that a Harry Potter rebrand or even a more 'realistic' castle theme would fare better. I stayed there when I was a kid in the 90's and it was a distinct trivia point that Excaliber held the record for largest hotel ( by room count).

That video of the dragon was so funny. You can feel the genuine fear

All I'm hoping from this ramble is more Rainbow Fish content after all those great tweets

My dad worked on the lake of dreams in the early 2000s! One of my first memories was seeing Lake of Dreams and the frog singing "Low Rider," and a head popping out of the water to sing "I'm in danger."

Rainbow Fish is FOREVER timely my go-to example of "Scholastic Book Fair book that comes packaged with sweet merch" and thank you for the sorely-needed joy that was witnessing your dragon reaction. Reminds me of me when I scroll through those suspense-building size comparisons of sea monsters I love and fear (maybe megalodon?).

Jenny's comments on the changes to the Disneyland AP program was my exact experience when WDW added FP+. Having to plan your trip months in advance after hotel guests got first dibs took all the spontaneity out of it and every AP I knew started going far less than before. I miss the before times.

Loving Halloween Bella Parker in the background!

I work in R&D in the cosmetic industry. Your comments regarding cosmetics are correct. A cheap brand will sell a $1-10 liner that cost them $0.005-0.05. Mid and Luxury brands will charge $10-up that costs them $0.01-0.50. And there is not always a correlation in manufacturing costs vs pricing. Luxury, almost by definition, is not worth the money.

After Vegas get rid of Star Trek: The Experience the whole place lost all appeal.

RAINBOW FISH RAINBOW FISH she's beautiful

you're right about the makeup, there is 0 difference between dior eyeshadow and tarte eyeshadow ((i do splurge on eyeliner tho, i wear it daily and i notice a huge difference))

I love seeing Jenny's doll collection grow in the background. Especially the costume ball Bella doll, she's probably the best one from that line.

About Vegas: I'm a big fan of tacky Vegas and theme parks and I will tell you this, you're right that it was waaaay cooler in the 90s when it comes to theming. But, despite most of the wacky stuff being removed, some is still around. There are still lots of things to see I think you might appreciate since you're into theming and theme parks. Specifically, I think if you go back to Vegas, you gotta try to make time for The AdventureDome witch is the Amusement Park attached to Circus Circus. It's enclosed in a glass dome so it's air conditioned and has several rides. The hotel itself is also themed to a Circus, including an entire Midway with games and claw machines and there's circus performances in the middle of the casino. I also definitely recommend staying at the Luxor inside the pyramid. They also have a tower and those rooms are newer and a little nicer, but the pyramid rooms are really cool, but you gotta request one to get one for sure. If you don't they will just toss you wherever they can. The pyramid rooms overlook the casino floor/ food court/ exhibit floor and the internal design of the rooms themselves is ultra weird and slanty because it's a pyramid! Not to mention getting to use an inclinator! I think Luxor still has an Arcade, and they still go hard on the theme these days too. New York New York has a pretty neat rollercoaser and the hotel itself is themed as well as the Venice themed mall, just as NY. Good pizza, lots of attention to detail. There's a killer themed aquarium at Mandalay Bay where you can walk through a sunken pirate ship in a tank with huge sharks. And they even have a souvenir passport you get to stamp at every exhibit. And there's a piranha tank! It's neat! And off the strip there's the best tiki bar I've ever been to when it comes to theming, including Trader Sams: The Golden Tiki. It's just full of stuff designed by former imagineers and even some actual Disney animatronics. One more- it's currently closed but in Primm just at stateline there's Buffalo Bills thats themed to a foresty old western town near a mountain. It had a log flume ride and Desparado, a rollercoater that goes underground. Not sure if it'll ever reopen but if it does, it's really worth checking out on the way into Vegas. Oh! and yeah Excalibur is an awful casino to stay in mainly because it's outdated and still really reeks of old cigarettes, like way way more than any other casino in my experience. But, it's worth checking out- the Round Table show is fun and they also still have an arcade. Anyway, thanks for the vid!

i've been to vegas wayyy too much and the most fun thing to do in my opinion is visit all the fun themed hotels and walk around in them. the bellagio is pretty and always has a fun decorated garden based on the season, sometimes with animatronics. new york new york has a roller coaster that's pretty fun that goes outside so you can kinda see the strip from up there. i've never been to circus circus but that seems up your alley. paris is kinda fun, and of course there's lots of great food there which is the main appeal nowadays i assume. there's a couple of fountain shows around the strip as well that are fun to watch at night, the bellagio probably being the most famous one.

I have no idea what you're going to do on the rainbow fish, but I'm here for it.

My first of year living in the LA area I did the thing where I often mentioned wanting to go to the Magic Castle and lo and behold a friend of a friend of a friend got me in! Definitely worth it.

You would have also liked the Treasure Island pirate show that ran outside on a regular schedule 1993-2003 There were multiple shows inside of Luxor, the best of which was a motion base thing in a IMAX sorta dome, but the other two were ripoffs

As someone really into makeup jenny is 100% right there's definitely a quality ceiling lmao

i really badly want to stay at the king arthur hotel 😭

Lol. Yeah, that stayed in the King Arthur themed hotel for a business trip in 2019 and it is not a good place to stay. I was on a really high floor and my window was stuck slightly open and the wind whistled through the room all night and it generally felt dirty. I had booked last minute and couldn’t find any other hotel room on the strip. I was not impressed, but I didn’t know there was a dragon under the moat.

Glad to know other people have the same "panicked but can't look away" reaction as I do to decrepit animatronics.

I know everyone is saying it, but I love the reactions to the dragon animatronic. It also gives me unsettling feelings that I can't describe and the quick turn to the mouth absolutely startled me.

You said "Wizard of Oz" theme, and my brain processed "Wizards of Waverly Place" for a solid minute. I couldn't comprehend it at all 😅 Like, why are there peacocks?? How was that possible in the 90s??? Why MGM?????

I've never really enjoyed a reaction video but I'd happily watch more Jenny Freaked Out By Animatronics reactions.

it’s 6am here and i’m absolutely losing it at the dragon mouth jumpscare

I know it's insensitive but I can't stop laughing at your genuine horror/disgust in response to the dragon 😂 I totally get it though I have a similar fascination/fear of abandoned animatronics - I had a recurring nightmare when I was a child about a Mickey Mouse in my grandparents cellar which was basically just wet dirt and nothing. It wasn't even doing anything but being alive and looking at me and I could just sense like an overwhelming evil intent that would shock me awake. This was in the early 90s in Australia too. I should've got on the internet and I could've had a lucrative Creepypasta empire by now. Shame.

Jenny's visceral reaction of complete horror of the old animatronics is so funny to me cuz they do not do anything for me fear wise 💀

I don't really like react videos but your reaction to the dragon footage was incredible

The bow is giving Kiki's Delivery Service, love it! 🧹✨

Living on the east coast, this video was uploaded exactly at midnight. So either this is the sign that today is going to be the perfect day, or that I’m going to stay up too late watching this and thus have a bad day because of it. Either way, I’m watching the whole thing immediately

I've been excited for this one since the twitter clip! Thanks Jenny 💕

study for finals, sleep, or watch the new video? 🫣
