Irish GoPro Dad Has Been Offered A Trip Back To Vegas To Try His Hand At Filming Again

Second time's the charm.

Second time’s the charm. 

It was the video that put a smile on everyone’s face last week as one poor Irish dad went viral after footage from his holiday in Las Vegas proved to be an internet sensation.

Joseph Griffin was given a GoPro by his son Evan to film every second of the big trip, but unfortunately for him, he wasn’t entirely sure how to use it and instead of filming all of the sights, he merely captured a load of hilarious footage of himself.

So… Gave my Dad my GoPro while he was in Las Vegas, I did not, however, instruct him on how to use it, so my dad being my dad, and a culchie, didn’t know which way to point the fucking thing…

The video has amassed millions of views since it was posted last week and now, it sounds like there may be hope for the Irish dad as he has been offered a ‘Las Vegas Redo’ by the city.

According to The Sun, The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority will fly Joseph and his son Evan (who posted the original clip online) to the city this week, where they will get to see all the sights of the famous destination.

Here’s hoping they’ll get the camera facing the right way this time!
