Dad accidentally filmed entire Las Vegas vacation in ‘selfie mode’ — VIDEO

Imagine arriving back home from your dream, once-in-a-lifetime vacation and finding that all the memories you thought you had captured on your camera don't exist. That's exactly what happened to one Irishman who was visiting Las Vegas and thought he was documenting his journey with his son's GoPro camera.

Unfortunately, as he realized when he returned home to Ireland and went to watch the footage, he mistakenly recorded his entire Vegas vacation using the camera's "selfie mode." 

According to The Huffington Post,  some viewers have fittingly dubbed the video "the funniest guide to Vegas ever." For instance, when the man, Joseph Griffin, tries to film Trump Tower, which he articulately describes as "the same color as his hair," he unknowingly just recorded himself, shirtless, in his hotel room talking about the building. 

In another notable scene, while Griffin is walking through the Paris hotel-casino, he says to the camera, "this is the inside of the Paris, where they have the Eiffel Tower." However, sadly, all he recorded was himself. 

His son, Evan, who had lent him the camera for the trip, combined the clips together and uploaded the video to Youtube.

"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' [rural countryman] didn't know which way to point the  f----g thing," he said.
