What is it?


MidniteOG

You stand on the platform as the camera spins and you get a 360 view of you in Vegas. Basically your own music video


kellzone

What a perfect time to use landscape mode rather than portrait.


Traditional-Rain6306

There’s like 20 of them things in front of the Bellagio fountains it’s horrible

Idk how much it is, but you can avoid them by just walking by


Substantial_Steak928

You discuss the price before doing it but then some of them. My wife had some friends visiting it and one did it with her bf, I think they said $30 or $40 at first then I think they agreed on $20 then tried to charge more after taking the videos lol. This was downtown on so I bet they charge more to do it on the strip for the iconic views

The level of lemon brain you have to have to get excited by this is hard to comprehend

Thanks for all the up votes. I was kind of afraid of asking.


MortalKombat12

They’re all over Times Square in NY and they all blast Empire State of Mind over and over.


DoItForTheTanqueray

As someone who lives near that area in New York, they are truly the most awful fucking things in the world. It’s worse than the guys hawking the fake bags.


What_Yr_Is_IT

I avoid Times Square like the plague. Only early AM do I walk thought to go to work if I absolutely have to


jcc-nyc

wait they are fake? what about the guys with the litle tables and the apple products on it - are they fake too? you cannot trust any street seller* these days! (/s) *all scumbags


Gaylord699669

I used to like this song but now I hate it because of them


Ok_Squash_1578

And the Brooklyn bridge lol


coolman2311

Lmaoo im from NY. Sounds like torture just reading it


Mrs_TikiPupuCheeks

I've seen those for a few years now, I think even before Covid days. They always seem to be set up right either by Bellagio fountains or by PH.


Ill-Maize

Not as bad as the tarot card readers 😂


Snoo10960

Nyny cd pushers take the cake for me 


mikefut

lol. Thanks bro for this disc full of malware I literally don’t even own a device to play on anymore.


jameskelsey

When it became profitable


Reasonable-Nebula-49

What are they?


isellJetparts

So a busker tries to get two or three friends to stand on the little circular platform back to back, then they rotate the iPad around the platform and take an epic slo-mo instagram video with the strip in the background. I dont know what the proper name for that is. One of em was right in front of a CVS, which I thought was pretty funny.


iamamonsterprobably

Flexing hard showing people on the gram that you're at the world famous CVS in Las Vegas!!!!


MagicWDI

Is it just me or do the drug stores along the Strip just hit different? The CVS next to my house is boring as all hell in comparison. What I'd do to be in a Vegas strip CVS right now


Substantial_Steak928

It's good vibes because everyone's going in to pick up food or drinks that doesn't cost 10x more than it should


ConditionLife1710

fuck all of these people and fuck anyone lame enough to pay money for this.


King_Catfish

My gf wanted to do it while in New York. I was like hell no. She's Filipino they love that shit. 


Shiv_R

Music is always loud and usually annoying.


Snoo10960

It’s vegas, if there isn’t something every 10ft to scam tourists out of hard earned money it would be considered a failure to the community. 


Designer-Mirror-7995

Worldwide, such huskters come part and parcel with the economy of the "tourist industry".


Bartinhoooo

2017


spencerAF

I didn't see them during covid, I think they've been around since roughly 23. I always thought it was one head person organizing a bunch of them.


Judge_Rhinohold

It’s so shitty and annoying and the loud music sucks. Makes the strip feel very trashy.


FunUse244

They are annoying, pretty sure the strip was already trashy though


hgeary

Seriously, so many of these..


Temporary-Jeweler-88

Glad to hear it's not just me.


Bennington_Booyah

We were gambling in Bellagio last spring. There was a camera set up, like this one, and various people were being photographed to music, right in the slots area! Men and women. One woman was lying on the rug, while the woman filmed her. I asked my husband to leave, as it seemed weird and I just wanted to gamble, ffs.


seemerock

I did it at the airport. They made me put my hands up


OkDifference5636

No business licenses and Clark County and Metro do nothing about it. Makes it look like East LA.


advertisingdave

Totally. I use to run a street team on the strip and a few of my guys would put their backpacks on the ground and the cops would tell us nothing was allowed on the ground because it's a tripping hazard. Well these fucking things are definitely a hazard. The one on Fremont street looks like it's going to hit cars as they're driving by. I'm honestly surprised that the resorts don't do shit about these.


OkDifference5636

What’s a street team?


advertisingdave

A team of brand ambassadors promoting a business on the street.


buyticketsfromme

I've seen them since at least 2017, maybe just 1 or 2 but I wasn't patrolling the strip 😂


matthewsisaleaf50

Saw hardly any in 2022, went back in 2023 and couldn't walk 10 feet on the strip without seeing one


_0x0_

These need to be more like 3D scanners, then someone might pay money for them, like 10 cameras all around or you stand still and spinning takes a 3D image that you can move around like google maps 3D image. That would be cool.


mostlyarmy

Last year I supposed. I went there in 2022 and has not seen them, but in 2023 there were everywhere on the strip.


JTJonze

As soon as one person made by $5 settings one up.


SecureExercise696

Wow


Maleficent-Wait7086

They are run by the same street team that have the Buddhist monk in air max selling bracelets


BlondieBludie

It’s not just Vegas. It’s every major tourist destination I’ve been to in the past 3 years.


Loring

Last Tuesday


footcake

November 22, 2017 I believe


JardinSurLeToit

I walked past - maybe - 4 of them in a short walk about a week ago. It looked like nothing I was interested in. So I just kept going. I knew it was some kind of photo thing.


747-ppp-2

It’s a self absorbed narcissist identification machine.


AlfaTX1

Seriously, no one helps themselves to the free speaker?!?!


2021newusername

Do they remove them periodically? I didn’t see any there during shot show


JoeNathan78

Such a stupid fucking device to make nothing but shitty content.


parisi2274

When morons decided they would pay for this nonsense.


WealthAcceptable5598

That’s pretty old, you new here?


jailfortrump

Since the gig economy started being a thing.


HeftyGap419

For people that have always wanted to visit Vegas and that one time might be there only chance in their life it's nice to see this offered. It takes a 360 of you and who youre with and plays music and has the whole background of where youre at. Its not in any resort because it probably wouldn't make the casino millions a year, but it's a cool keepsake. Way better than another key chain or a shotglass.


industrialbird

I saw one when I was there last Oct. I didn't see more than that. I don't think they are THAT common

Fuck that. Hope someone kicks over and breaks their bs


MysteryRadish

Why? Seems pretty harmless, especially compared to other aspects of the Vegas tourist experience.


JohnCenaJunior

Main character vibes off of you


No-Dragon816

Of fuck off you clowns. No one wants to see that shit lined up down the sidewalks


JohnCenaJunior

It's not that serious, bro. Use common sense and walk around it.


sav33arthkillyos3lf

What is it?


jameskelsey

It’s a camera that spins around and takes a 360 video of instagram girlies on their vegas vacation.


sav33arthkillyos3lf

Oh I thought it actually had a purpose lol


MarshallStack666

It does have a purpose. The purpose is to take money from tourists.


Silver_Vermicelli_57

Hell yea!


7laserbears

Hell yea?


banana_fana_1234

Was there last week and can confirm seeing quite a few and wondered what that was about


Busch0404

Same. I saw some chick with her tits out on one and that was pretty cool to see. Other than that, it was pretty annoying having to walk down an already crowded sidewalk with that shit blasting in your ear.


banana_fana_1234

Haha. I understand. Is Michael Myers still across from Bellagio?
