Las Vegas Arc
Las Vegas, besides being a US City, is one that has multiple ties to Daniel. Daniel had left on February 13, 2023, from Palmdale, California to Las Vegas, Nevada by bus. The reason why he left California and went to Las Vegas was because he claimed to need "more popularity", and hopes to get a jackpot to buy a $3,000 dollar apartment in Beverly Hills, California. Many fans speculate that he would get arrested due to the police in Las Vegas being more strict than in California due to the extremely high rates of crime.
February 14th
Daniels "Friends"
As soon as Daniel arrived in Las Vegas Daniel met a group of people he claimed to be his new friends, he posted a multitude of videos of him and his new friends messing around and doing various activities with each other
On February 14, 2023, Valentine's Day, 2023, Daniel Larson approaches a drunken couple. When the young woman in the couple accidentally drops her coin purse on the ground, Daniel helps and gives the coins back in the purse while attempting to persuade them to get him a hotel room, so most likely Daniel can stay the night in a bed and charge his phone, this never ended up happening.
Daniel eventually "lost them", and made multiple videos asking them to meet him in multiple places, it is assumed that they abandoned him.
February 15th
On February 15th, 2023, at approximately 2:00 am, Daniel was found in a casino bathroom by two security guards who were very aggressively trying to get Daniel off the toilet and off the property. Daniel screamed and told the security guards that they weren't going to do anything as the guards yelled at him to leave. Eventually, the guards managed to open the stall door, and Daniel lunged and seemingly kicked it down. The guard on the other side of the stall door told him that he needed to calm down and asked if he was acting stupid. Daniel fought with the guards the entire way out, stating that he hadn't done anything wrong.
The aftermath resulted in Daniel being extremely upset by the encounter, posting many videos of himself visibly distraught along with hitting himself. At one point, a park guard asks what was going on and claims the hotel "sexually tried to harass me". The park guard explains to Daniel that the area was closed and that he must leave. Daniel does not, however, and continues to explain his woes to this man. [1] Later in the day at another casino, Daniel is reported to have trespassed, which escalated into him being banned and not allowed to ever return again. The security guard explains that Daniel was caught sleeping three times, to which Daniel denies. Daniel comes very close to being arrested, but eventually gives up and leaves on his, own stating that the security guards are "lying about everything".
After this, A group of people on the Daniel Larson World Discord sever (The name of the person who confronted security was Iamstoney, and the person that found his location at Hershey world was Mythic_sparrow) Found Daniel's location via using his Tiktok videos, "Stoney" confronts Daniel and tells him "not to talk to the kids" nearby, Stoney as well as many other people, confront security resulting in Daniel getting kicked out of the establishment. Stoney then later claims security told him Daniel is banned from all MGM properties and will be arrested on sight if seen at one ever again.
Gone Missing
Following a very eventful February 15th morning, Daniel posted a TikTok around 6pm (TikTok epoch: 1676515770) stating that if he is able to get a motel room that night he will do a two-hour live stream.[2] However, said live stream never ended up happening, and it became the last post Daniel made, and he was gone for a longer period of time than moments in the past.
Potential Sightings
Since Daniel has been missing, there have been some claims of sightings and interactions with varying degrees of validity.
trudyparker1
TikTok user "trudyparker1" uploaded a video of someone they claim is Daniel Larson, and much of the community seems to agree. The description of the video says: "Daniel larson 12:24pm PST Feb 16 2023 Vegas outlets". Trudyparker1 is very adamant that he saw Daniel's face and confirms that it is him.
Ill_Editor1804
On February 22nd, 2023, a Reddit user named "Ill_Editor1804" made a post claiming to have witnessed Daniel being kicked off a bus for refusing to pay the fare[3]. The user uploaded a video, which they later uploaded a higher quality version of, that they captured shortly after the interaction. The man in the video is wearing the same clothing that Daniel was last seen in, which adds to the credibility of the sighting. Notably, he also appears to be bald and is seen with Daniels comically large nose.
The user made an update to the post, stating that this sighting happened on Sahara Ave after the westbound freeway entrance (coordinates appear to be: 36.14426, -115.1823), and that Daniel had a phone in his hand, which was either dead or broken. The user also mentioned that Daniel sounded very upset and frantic, "almost like something did happen"
The Return
On February 23rd, 2023, at approximately 4:30 pm PST, Daniel returned to TikTok on a new account named "DanielLarsonLV". He uploaded a series of videos explaining his absence, claiming it was due to an attack by two "fans". According to Daniel, these two fans approached him at a casino, offered to buy him food, which they did, and while walking to a different casino to buy Daniel a hotel room, one of the fans struck him from behind, along with pushing him to the ground. The two then ran off with Daniel's phone. The altercation resulted in a fractured skull, which was diagnosed during a hospital visit and will take up to six months to heal, which somewhat explains the rumors of him being seen being taken into an ambulance during the days of his disappearance. Following this, Daniel contacted the authorities and pressed charges against the two, stating that one seemed more complicit than the other.
In addition to his return, Daniel claims that he will receive $380 in food stamps per month and has secured housing through a company called Sober Homes. Both of these services are based in Nevada, indicating that Daniel has no plans to return to LA.
The Identity of the attackers is unknown, Daniel describes them as a long haired African American male with dreads, and a small Hispanic male who was the person he believed actually took his phone. There are currently accusations on the /r/daniellarson subreddit pointing out various members involved in the community. However, no claim has been validated yet and as of yet, it is not confirmed who the assailants are.
