A guy is stuck overnight at McCarren, and decides to use his iPhone to make a video. Check it out.

Edit: That YouTube video is now private, but a copy is contained in the article below.
Now read how it was done.

Cool, right?
If you'll note in the shot of the arrivals board, he filmed it this past Friday morning.
I discovered it on a thread at Five Hundy.

The Youtube link won't work for me. I'm getting a message saying the video is private. However, I was able to see it with the second link you provided.
Thanks for posting. I prefer the Eric Carmen version myself.

I guess it IS going viral ... and somebody caught a wind of it, etc.
I got the private message too, although that link worked for me earlier.
At any rate, it currently DOES still work on the version in that article it linked.

There is some female vocalist squeaking the words 'all by myself' repetively while this guy poses for shots showing a largely empty airport. I turned it off after the fourth or fifth squeak.

If you read the article, you'd know that the squeaky voice belongs to Celine Dion. And I admit, it doesn't get really interesting until after the first minute or so.Quote: FleaStiffThere is some female vocalist squeaking the words 'all by myself' repetively while this guy poses for shots showing a largely empty airport.

To answer the question "What do you do when your stuck at the Las Vegas airport overnight", the last thing I'd think of is STAYING there!
First, unless you're being held against your will, you always have a choice, so he wasn't 'stuck' there. You're in a city that has more nightlife than anywhere else I know, if you're going to stay up anyway, take a cab into the city and enjoy. Making a crappy music video to a Celine Dion song isn't even an option in my opinion.
I also wonder why the video is now private? Did anybody get in trouble for what was pretty much unlimited access inside the security zone, behind (and on) the Delta gate counter, part way into the women's restroom, etc. I would hope not, nothing dangerous or wrong with it (well, other than looking like a goof), but airports don't usually have a sense of humor.

I agree. And looking at orbitz, it looks like he would have 6.75 hours minus travel time and reentering the airport. Definitely enough time for a binge. So either he has priorities wrong or he maxed out his atm withdrawal for the day.

Kinda fun little skit. Well done him.

The second link still has the video.
Brilliant! I also like the fact that airport security obivously didn't send a SWAT team after him. LAS is one of the more relaxed airports in the country anyway.
You on this forum, Richard Dunn? Congrats anyway!

Ding ding ding!
That's all I could think while watching this.
It is a well done video, considering the limited resources he had available while filming it.
But if that were me, that whole night I'd have been thinking about all the fun shenanigans I could be getting into just a mile away...

It looks like he had a lot of fun doing the video. For free!
And maybe he was already broke, making a return to the strip a no-option.

Loved the video, an instant classic. The only quibble I have is that he should have gone with the original Eric Carmen version.

There's dust in all their hearts

B - He's a Celine fan
C - I really think that a guy lip-syncing to such a great female diva voice is funnier.

Have to think the "private" is for copyright infringement on the music. I could be wrong.
It did definitely improve after the first minute. I liked the "making of" anecdote about how he filmed the escalator shot and had to go running up after it before it hit the top. That is one loooonnngg escalator.

I'll give you that ! In fact, because of the Celine connection to Las Vegas, the choice makes a lot of sense. Celine certainly does a great version of it.

Wait a minute there, you mean he was lip synching the entire time ? ? ?

If you're wondering what Celine thinks of it, stop wondering.

Generally I'm pretty easily amused, but I tried watching this video and found it interminable. I skipped through some of the middle parts. Really boring. I mean I give him some points for creativity, but it just wasn't for me.
Even if I had already blown out my official bankroll, I would take $100 or $200 from an ATM, head downtown to El Cortez and play $3 craps and drink free booze.
