[00:00:08]We're down here at the site of the Old Tropicana in Las Vegas, and they've got a bunch of stuff going on this morning.

[00:00:14]It is Friday. So, you know, they're cranking, and I've heard that they're going to be talking about raising those those uh the new the new trusses. So, next week.

[00:00:28]So, we got a lot of stuff going on right here. We've got the orange creamsicle.

[00:00:32]We're We're doing some stuff here.

[00:00:34]They're They're rigging it up, as you can see.

[00:00:37]It's a gorgeous morning here in Las Vegas.

[00:00:42]We got a couple riggers in the in the blue. Got the gear, but we got a lot a lot more steel being delivered here today, as I can see right here.

[00:00:58]on this side.

[00:01:08]And up above, we've got a bunch of this structure coming in. Oh, here it goes. Here it goes. Here it goes. Sorry. We got this thing going. See, get this thing off. I love watching these things go up.

[00:01:27]But yeah, they've been working on this uh on that skeleton there. They've been putting up I guess they're not uh they're not girders. They're called what are they called? Someone told me on the board I think they're called headers or something. I can't remember.

[00:01:42]But they're putting these That's a massive piece there. That is huge.

[00:01:53]Whoa.

[00:01:55]Whoa, guys. I can't It's hard to describe.

[00:02:00]I hope I'm I hope I hope I'm capturing it well enough for you guys here. But the thing is way up there.

[00:02:07]What?

[00:02:15]>> Okay, that thing's going.

[00:02:18]These guys are going to work on the next one here.

[00:02:23]Okay.

[00:02:36]So, what I was going to show you over here was see all this stuff they were working on yesterday. These columns and I don't know what they call these things across the way. I was calling them a girder, but they say they're not gerters. They say they're called something else. And then the guy who was on that rope thing that was doing that.

[00:02:52]Um, God, what do they think, man? Sorry.

[00:02:56]I read this stuff in the middle of the night and I'm like, I'm learning all this stuff and then I come out here and I forget the terms again. So, please forgive me.

[00:03:07]But, we are capturing some good footage for you guys. So, at least you can see it.

[00:03:12]I'm excited about this. This is looking great. So, they're bringing this in.

[00:03:17]Um, not quite exactly sure where they're going to lay that one down.

[00:03:30]Oh, yeah. You guys were complaining about the wind. Sorry, I forgot my my wind mic. It's not I left it in the car.

[00:03:37]I really should bring those. Apologies, guys.

[00:03:48]You know, part of it too is that I have to, you know, where I'm at, you guys know, I mean, I can't be looking all like have a bunch of professional gear. So, I have to be kind of incognito cuz they get a little little fired up when you do that.

[00:04:04]So, yeah. So, these close-up shots are a result of this new camera I got. Thank you for uh subscribing. Thank you for donating. Thank you for hitting the super thanks and joining the memberships cuz all the money I get here I'm putting right back into this channel so we can get some good footage and stuff.

[00:04:24]So for those of you like the close-ups, well that was you guys. Thank you. Thank you for allowing me to get this gear.

[00:04:34]Wow, look at that. Put that in place. No problem.

[00:04:39]That's awesome.

[00:04:44]Now, I'll be back out here on Monday and we will get more of what's going on.

[00:04:57]Got some welders up here.

[00:05:06]Thank you for hitting the like and subscribe.

[00:05:10]Uh, also the other thing here, look what's happening here. Is that this big red number two is positioned now right over this roof truss. So, this is the new roof truss that they're putting together. Now, they have it latched up to something. I don't know if they'll be moving it or what they're doing with this with this crawler over here.

[00:05:47]But we got some work going on underneath the roof truss there.

[00:05:59]So yeah. So it is about 8:30 in the morning, maybe 8:45. So we're getting close to the lunch break. I wanted to come out here before the lunch break happened to give you guys a little bit of, you know, kind of what's happening.

[00:06:17]Not sure what he's working on there, but we know it's something to do with the roof truss.

[00:06:33]And then this guy's just been buzzing around all morning.

[00:06:37]Look at this. Look how wide open this thing became.

[00:06:41]Remember when they're working on this?

[00:06:42]Look at that. Buzzing right in there.

[00:06:44]This must be This must be something for deliveries. And they're just hauling dirt out of this thing today. Ram and off he goes.

[00:06:53]One load at a time.

[00:07:05]So, we'll be back here on Monday morning. That's my plan anyways.

[00:07:11]Plan is here Monday morning. Do you guys like the live streams? I know we talk about it. Uh, you know, I don't know.

[00:07:18]It's better when we do this on the 4K obviously because because I have more control and the live streams well they're live and to stream it live I need a lot of bandwidth so I can't I have to do it 1080 but it I mean I like having you guys down there so you can see it real time it's just all happening and then I do my videos in between. But comment below and let me know if if if you like the live streams or if you prefer just waiting for the 4K.

[00:07:53]It's cool Friday afternoon here in Las Vegas. Something about Fridays in Las Vegas just feels great here, guys, you know. All right, here comes this guy back.

[00:08:07]He's going right inside this thing.

[00:08:19]This is right below. And he's hauling out a bunch of dirt out of here.

[00:08:28]I don't know. Do you call this esavating? I think esavation is done. I don't know what you call this. This probably just there's probably a term for it, a technical term they're doing, but basically looks like I don't know where this dirt came from. If it was here or they put it in there, now they're leveling. I don't know. You I'm always saying this cuz you guys probably do know and I love learning. So, thanks guys for helping me out.

[00:09:07]Maybe they're moving dirt to the other side. Oh, yeah. He's going inside there.

[00:09:10]So, they're taking the dirt from over here and they're putting it over there onto that side. I'm trying to see if there's a good place where I get a view.

[00:09:19]Maybe, maybe, maybe. But we've got this wall here. I'd have to get up and over.

[00:09:24]And then we have some issues here. You know, there's few encampments in between the properties. But this would be a good spot if I could I'll talk to Dunk. See if maybe we could install one of those like a like a you know like the ladders they have that they put on the pools. We could put like one of those pool ladders there.

[00:09:47]We'll just build something on the outside there in that alleyway. Right.

[00:09:50]That's Isn't that public property? Can't we just do whatever we want there? I'm sure we can. But all right, here comes the wind, guys. The wind again. I forgot. I look, I didn't even know if I was coming down here. I had a meeting this morning and I rushed down here. I said, "Hey, it's a nice day. Let's go see what they're doing at the stadium."

[00:10:07]And so I was with my wife. And so she drove me down here and dropped me off.

[00:10:11]And now we're checking out what they're doing. The welders are waiting for something up there. I can't tell.

[00:10:20]These guys are getting ready.

[00:10:25]It's almost their 9:00 a.m. break, so they're probably getting stuff situated. And then now, as far as that one beam, it's right over here.

[00:10:42]They're uh they've installed it there. Then these guys are kind of working on here. So, look like someone's a base here. They're doing Steady as we go here.

[00:11:25]Looks like that. Is there something hooked up there or is that behind them? Yeah, it's behind them.

[00:11:44]Heat. Heat.

[00:12:08]Heat.

[00:12:24]Heat.

[00:12:31]Heat.

[00:12:49]Heat.

[00:13:06]Getting some work done on that side.

[00:13:21]Heat.

[00:13:40]Heat.

[00:13:51]Gorgeous day here in Las Vegas, guys.

[00:13:59]Got some stuff going on out here.

[00:14:09]Get this beam ready here.

[00:14:13]This guy's got some different gear I haven't seen before. I might try to figure out what that is and put it in the shop for you guys.

[00:14:21]Definitely got the tool belt going.

[00:14:25]We got the hard hat and then the protective gear out there.

[00:14:55]Super busy day. Let me back up here and I'll show you what else we got going on.

[00:14:59]Okay, so we got these railroad ties as you guys saw here.

[00:15:04]Um over here on this side, we've got some steel coming in here. And then this truck has has got some massive stuff on it.

[00:15:22]You guys can see right there. I don't know what these things go, but this is all going to be going around this. These are more of the bleachers coming around looks like on this side.

[00:15:32]So, this thing is flying, guys. This stadium coming together right before our eyes.

[00:15:38]Pretty soon, we'll be filming baseball games, man.

[00:16:16]Yeah, we're just going to do a quick little little uh video down here before the lunch break. These guys look like they're hitting their break. Uh, and then we're back here on Monday. I'm going to stay out here for another 10 minutes or so.

[00:16:32]At least 10 more. I'm going to give you guys make sure you guys see what's happening before I head out.

[00:16:45]I think these guys are exhausted after a They were cruising this week, man. And they're like, "Dude, we are remember we brought in all we started out this week with the gear down here. Remember that?"

[00:16:57]And the crane was down there and then we came all the way up here. We started putting that all on the inside to build a truss over there, which now looks like it is.

[00:17:06]You know, I can't see it from here as well. Maybe on Monday we should have a better point of view, better vantage point. So, um, hopefully hopefully Monday we'll have a bit of advantage. That's the plan anyways.

[00:17:24]We'll see how it turns out.

[00:17:39]Okay, we got this.

[00:17:42]Just a ton of stuff going on up here.

[00:17:44]I'll just kind of get it all. So that's we got the welder started. He's kind of I don't know if he's welding or she's welding, but they're doing this rope thing that they man that that rope thing is pretty cool. That guy had to know how to tie a rope really good. Had to trust that he was standing on it.

[00:18:04]Damn.

[00:18:31]Got more railroad ties coming in over here.

[00:18:37]Heat. Heat.

[00:19:01]Heat.

[00:19:14]Heat.

[00:19:44]Got the crane coming over again.

[00:20:03]I'll put those sunglasses in the shop there so you can see it.

[00:20:15]So, they're bringing this guy over here, the hook over here to this side.

[00:20:32]It's just right in front of me. That's just crazy. It just All this stuff is right here. That's why I'm getting such good shots.

[00:20:43]So just cuz they're swinging it way over here to this close to me.

[00:20:49]You guys can hear everything too probably.

[00:20:56]My god.

[00:21:08]Look at this stuff, man. This is like stuff you'd find in the Navy or something, doesn't it?

[00:21:14]Do you guys know what they call these hooks?

[00:21:17]That is incredible.

[00:21:45]Yeah. So, we'll call this our Friday afternoon, Friday morning special. You know, I wasn't sure I'd make it down here, but just so much activities going on. If we miss something, we miss a you miss a lot here.

[00:21:57]Okay, off it goes.

[00:22:06]walk path around steel erection.

[00:22:12]Okay.

[00:22:17]I guess they don't want people walking over there. So now they're bringing this thing down. They're maybe going to consider getting this thing off the truck today. Well, yeah, obviously today, but before lunch.

[00:22:41]Lots of work. Hey guys, remember to hit the like and subscribe if you could.

[00:22:46]Really trying to boost boost my subscribers today.

[00:22:55]Thank you so much for watching the channel though. Really appreciate it.

[00:23:17]Okay, so they got it on one side, both sides.

[00:23:22]How much do you think this thing weighs?

[00:23:24]Do you guys think? Do you guys know?

[00:23:26]Does it say on there?

[00:23:42]Let's go. Teamwork, man. They do not mess around, do they?

[00:23:50]They get that rigged up fast. Like they just know it's good.

[00:24:30]kind of see if this thing gets off. How they get this thing off. It's always a mystery cuz I mean they wonder too. I've seen them pull it up and bring it back down. Be like, "No."

[00:24:42]So, it's kind of a big deal.

[00:25:05]Man, what did you guys do today?

[00:25:09]Oh, we just lifted like a 100 tons of iron to build a stadium.

[00:25:15]Damn.

[00:26:00]What's going on?

[00:26:09]Oh, here comes the water truck.

[00:26:14]You know how much I love these water trucks.

[00:26:18]These are ever so important. Keeps everything nice and moist so the dust doesn't fly around here.

[00:26:25]Oh jeez. Of course I missed that. Off it goes.

[00:26:32]There we go, guys.

[00:26:36]Up, up, up, up, up.

[00:26:41]Okay, now the truck is driving away.

[00:26:45]Got liftoff.

[00:26:49]That looks like that's going to attach to a buttress, doesn't it? Or something.

[00:27:08]Wow, that's pretty cool.

[00:27:18]Just floating.

[00:27:46]We're going to stage this here for probably for next week, I imagine.

[00:27:52]Big red number one is in motion. I see it. Or the wind is blowing at one of the two.

[00:28:05]Yeah, it's definitely in motion. So, they're moving big red number one as we speak.

[00:28:12]So, now they've released this one. But now I see over here. Oh, wait. Before I do that, let's I'm going to check out my water truck.

[00:28:23]There's my water truck.

[00:28:25]Yeah.

[00:28:27]Yeah.

[00:28:29]I didn't know they had the side things.

[00:28:31]I I I knew it had the front. I didn't know it had a side thing on it. That's crazy. Cool.

[00:28:39]Did you see it come out the side?

[00:28:43]Okay.

[00:28:45]Come on. More water. Yeah. They got a little side thing on the side. It comes out.

[00:28:53]Okay, now back over here.

[00:28:56]This big red. Oh, wait. Okay, sorry. I got to get some more of this guy.

[00:29:03]See, I know they have the front ones. I didn't know they had ones on the side, though.

[00:29:12]So, big red number one, Bix Craner. It was moving. I saw it. Saw it moving.

[00:29:24]Is that the same crane they used for Al Giant Stadium? Do you guys know?

[00:29:34]Okay, now back to the creamsicle. Oh, look.

[00:29:39]In case in case you guys didn't know, this is how they fuel it with gas.

[00:29:52]And as far as those guys, that includes me. So, they bring a gas truck over here. Yeah. You know, I never really thought about that. I never really thought like like they can't drive this to a gas station and obviously just bringing gallon tanks of gas or diesel or fuel would not be ideal.

[00:30:12]So they have a truck and a pump.

[00:30:16]And there it is.

[00:30:21]So they're refueling this thing.

[00:30:25]Um they've got the new this new truss uh built. It's looking it's looking good.

[00:30:36]Kind of styling if you look at it. So this must be exposed to the public.

[00:30:42]The other truss is not quite it's been moved over there.

[00:30:52]So, just a super active day this morning.

[00:31:00]They're about ready probably to take their lunch break and I'll probably take mine as well. Get out of here. But I really wanted to get some stuff for the weekend so I kind of know what's happening when they come back on Monday.

[00:31:09]Oh, no way. Look what's up there.

[00:31:12]What is that?

[00:31:15]What is that up there?

[00:31:18]You guys know that is a JLG?

[00:31:21]I can't see too good from this side. I missed them bringing that up.

[00:31:28]Whoa.

[00:31:29]So, that's some What is that? Is that a Do you guys know? Is it a crawler or Yeah, it's got tracks.

[00:31:39]So, that's cool.

[00:31:43]Wow.

[00:31:45]So, you can really see the stadium coming kind of coming together here.

[00:31:56]All right. Well, looks like everybody's kind of chilling out for lunch. The iron these the riggers are are are done.

[00:32:04]These guys are refueling over here.
