Dad films Vegas vacation, not realizing camera was in selfie mode

An Irish man loaned his dad a GoPro for a recent Las Vegas trip and was stunned when he realized his father filmed the entire thing in selfie mode.

Joseph Griffin used a selfie stick and a GoPro to film the Las Vegas strip, but didn’t realize until later that the camera was actually focused on him, JOE.ie reported.

His son, Evan Griffin, uploaded the video "An Irishman in Vegas" on YouTube on Nov. 13, and as of Tuesday it had over four million views.

“All the footage is only from the first day because my dad later took it swimming without the waterproof case and fried it so missed out on the Grand Canyon and everything,” Evan told JOE.ie.

The video spans four minutes and features a hilarious dialogue of Joseph describing Vegas and throwing in a "Vegas baby" .

“I think the Grand Canyon is that way,” he says in the video as the camera records him instead of the scene outside of his window.

Thanks for the memories, Joe.
