• 0:11
  Sean McAllister: The Formula One kickoff event has added even more stars.

  Dayna Roselli: Plus, a new hotel casino delays its opening day and Gordon Ramsay is on the strip again filming a new show.

  Dayna Roselli: Let's spin that wheel.
• 0:36
  Dayna Roselli: Welcome everyone to episode 194 of Vegas Revealed.
• 0:49
  Dayna Roselli: We're happy to be here for another week.
• 0:50
  Dayna Roselli: Dayna Roselli here along with Sean McAllister.
• 0:54
  Sean McAllister: And you know how we always talk about Dana that it's great here all winter long and the mild temperatures and everything.
• 1:01
  Sean McAllister: We've really started to turn the natural AC on outside.
• 1:06
  Dayna Roselli: I know it's starting to really cool down.
• 1:08
  Dayna Roselli: It was like 84 on Monday and then this breeze came in and things have cooled down, but it's always so warm in the sun, no matter what.
• 1:15
  Sean McAllister: That's true.
• 1:16
  Dayna Roselli: I feel like the days it's like you think it's going to be chilly.
• 1:18
  Dayna Roselli: Then you go out and you're in the sun and you're like, ah, sun glasses on, it's bright.
• 1:21
  Dayna Roselli: You start to heat up, so it's a mix.
• 1:23
  Sean McAllister: Or you can tell it's fall for sure.
• 1:25
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, hey, listen, we are excited for Durango Casino Resort to open and we've talked about this in the last few podcasts that they were going to open November 20th and they were taking reservations.
• 1:35
  Dayna Roselli: But they have since announced that they are delaying the opening until December 5th.
• 1:39
  Dayna Roselli: So we wanted everyone to know.
• 1:41
  Dayna Roselli: Just in case you heard from us and you booked something, they're going to take care of you and you know, sean, I'm not too heard about the delay.
• 1:47
  Dayna Roselli: Personally, I feel like I want them to get things right and it's such a busy time in Las Vegas, I mean get it right.
• 1:56
  Sean McAllister: I completely agree, because when you open a project of that size, you know any delay in shipments or any.
• 2:04
  Sean McAllister: I mean there's a lot of logistical things that you could be like, oh my gosh, we can't open without that.
• 2:10
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and you want to open the right way.
• 2:12
  Sean McAllister: So Durango is going to do that, and I mean moving away from F1 weekend isn't the worst thing in the world either.
• 2:21
  Dayna Roselli: No, because that'll be just wrapping up, you know, and then it was going to open on November 20th and it's like, well, okay, let's hold off.
• 2:27
  Dayna Roselli: And we don't know the reasons why at all but you're right.
• 2:29
  Dayna Roselli: If one thing is not in the mix, you want it to be perfect, and so they need more time and, unfortunately, anyone who booked I know that's probably frustrating that.
• 2:37
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, now you know you got to find a different place to stay, or maybe you have a restaurant reservation, but it's a few weeks and I think everything good is worth the wait and I expect it to be, you know, top notch, like station casinos always is.
• 2:50
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and the folks at station casinos did say if you had a hotel or a dinner reservation, that they will either make arrangements at one of their sister properties for you or put you on priority reservations after the opening on December 5th.
• 3:08
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and I love that the team members are going to be paid.
• 3:10
  Dayna Roselli: They put that in a little statement that they sent out.
• 3:12
  Dayna Roselli: So if you were, you know, supposed to head to work November 20th, then maybe you're not like in your restaurant working and serving and making tips.
• 3:19
  Dayna Roselli: You're helping you out by giving you money, so that's really cool.
• 3:22
  Dayna Roselli: It is they always do it right over there.
• 3:23
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, hey, kylie Minogue launched her new show at Voltaire at the Venetian and we did not go, but we have plenty of people that we know personally that did and we're getting all sorts of feedback.
• 3:36
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and one thing is for sure is that Kylie Minogue and her performance have been I don't need well received is completely an understatement.
• 3:48
  Sean McAllister: People have loved that Kylie Minogue is back up on stage Doing her thing here in Las Vegas.
• 3:53
  Dayna Roselli: I mean she sold out like hotcakes.
• 3:55
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that's an old school phrase, anyway, and you know they had to add shows even right before these shows were gonna kick off.
• 4:06
  Dayna Roselli: They did like some opening, some general admission and all that kind of thing.
• 4:09
  Dayna Roselli: So listen, she is on demand.
• 4:12
  Dayna Roselli: And from the people that that have gone, from what we see on social media and then personally, they said the show was fabulous, she sounded great, her costumes were amazing, the room was energized and they just thought it was incredible and worth the wait.
• 4:28
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, but as we have heard those reviews, we have also been hearing that there are some opportunities for improvement on the service side of things at the venue itself.
• 4:43
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, I mean personal accounts from people that we know say you know, the getting there and in was very frustrating.
• 4:51
  Dayna Roselli: They waited one hour in one line, another hour in another line.
• 4:54
  Dayna Roselli: They were asking some folks that were there from possibly the Venetian saying, hey, what do we do here?
• 5:00
  Dayna Roselli: And they're like we don't know, it's not our venue, we're not like you know.
• 5:03
  Dayna Roselli: And then once they got in, the service was slow and that whole process was extremely frustrating to them because they had spent a lot of money on the tickets.
• 5:10
  Dayna Roselli: As Expected you would be frustrated.
• 5:12
  Dayna Roselli: However, in the end they said once she started and once the show went off, like it was amazing.
• 5:18
  Dayna Roselli: So you know, it was saved by Kylie Minogue right.
• 5:21
  Dayna Roselli: But but it was fresh.
• 5:22
  Dayna Roselli: And I know it's kind of like a buzzkill when you have to Go in and wait so long and it's confusing and you don't know where to go and your service is slow because you're really hyped up and you spend a lot of money on the tickets.
• 5:35
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and I mean part of that ticket price too, is the service that you get inside.
• 5:41
  Sean McAllister: I mean they were really touting this extended experience, that that culminates with the performance of the headliner who you're there to see.
• 5:52
  Sean McAllister: But I mean, they Encourage people to get there early and to have bottle service, and I think they have some light bites in there too, so the service part was really being sold heavily with these ticket prices.
• 6:05
  Sean McAllister: So you would expect that it would be up to par, yeah, but it could just be.
• 6:11
  Sean McAllister: You know the kinks that you work out when you open a new venue too.
• 6:16
  Dayna Roselli: It is, you know, but it's like, yeah, it's a hard one, it's a hard one.
• 6:20
  Dayna Roselli: There are always kinks, but I feel like there were multiple people that went that I know that said the same thing.
• 6:27
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah so it wasn't just like one table right, you know what I mean.
• 6:30
  Dayna Roselli: Like yes, and apparently my friends who had gone.
• 6:33
  Dayna Roselli: They said like we asked the cert, like the server was like, we just aren't ready.
• 6:37
  Dayna Roselli: Finally, she or he was just like I just there's no excuse, we're not ready.
• 6:42
  Dayna Roselli: So that's unfortunate.
• 6:44
  Dayna Roselli: However, I do think, like you said, kinks Always bring improvement.
• 6:49
  Dayna Roselli: They do you know, you're either the first to see her and hey, you were the first to talk about it and you were the first there and you're gonna have to deal with kinks, and then the next people that go are probably gonna have a better experience 100% agree so another comment was that they wish the stage was elevated a little bit, because it's kind of all at one level Interesting and the kind of runway that she walks down because you can't quite you're not elevated because it's not seated like an angle.
• 7:15
  Sean McAllister: You're gonna look through heads to see her.
• 7:17
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so hopefully maybe they'll raise that if there's a lot of comments underneath the Obviously the Instagram posts and things like that that even Voltaire put up themselves.
• 7:24
  Dayna Roselli: So I'm sure they're taking all that in and gonna make improvements.
• 7:28
  Sean McAllister: But all in all happy to have Kylie Minogue here in Las Vegas now performing in her new show Over at Voltaire inside the Venetian.
• 7:38
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, I'm excited for this one, sean.

  Sean McAllister: That's the production group behind shows like Absinthe over at Caesar's Palace.
• 9:06
  Sean McAllister: They have come up with a very unique show that they're really excited to present, but if you blink you're gonna miss it.
• 9:16
  Dayna Roselli: Well, here's the thing Absinthe Opium, what's?
• 9:20
  Sean McAllister: the one about Atomic Saloon.
• 9:21
  Dayna Roselli: Atomic Saloon.
• 9:22
  Dayna Roselli: If you've ever been to any of those shows, you know A when you leave you'll never forget it because it's so memorable.
• 9:29
  Dayna Roselli: B it's a little raunchy, super funny, but also full of talent, and so you expect kind of outlandish, odd things from them sometimes.
• 9:39
  Sean McAllister: Correct, that was a good way to put it.
• 9:41
  Dayna Roselli: So they have a show that is having its world premiere on November 15th, and it's for one night only.
• 9:48
  Dayna Roselli: That's the headline.
• 9:50
  Sean McAllister: So it'll be having the world premiere and the closing on the same night.
• 9:55
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, so we know the podcast launches on a Saturday and goes.
• 9:59
  Dayna Roselli: You know, a lot of you listen later in the week.
• 10:01
  Dayna Roselli: November 15th might be past you, but listen, they are doing a show and it's F1 related and I just think this is super cool.
• 10:07
  Dayna Roselli: They're doing a show that they were going to call Box Box, but apparently that's like like pit stop or something in F1.
• 10:15
  Dayna Roselli: And then they said and lawyers were knocking on their door that they didn't want them to use that, so then they change it to Lights Out, which apparently means the race has started.
• 10:25
  Dayna Roselli: Now they're hoping they don't get sued by NB Energy.
• 10:27
  Dayna Roselli: They're saying.
• 10:28
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, they're just so funny, the whole press release is just so hilarious.
• 10:31
  Dayna Roselli: You can't help but not mention it.
• 10:32
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, doors are opening at 11, the shows at midnight, november 15th at the Cosmopolitan.
• 10:38
  Dayna Roselli: It's right there, attached to the Super Freco restaurant and bar that they have there.
• 10:43
  Dayna Roselli: It's gonna be really funny.
• 10:45
  Dayna Roselli: Their mission was to create material for a tiny, stupid fun show that explored why human beings are obsessed with the idea of very fast cars driving around a track.
• 10:55
  Sean McAllister: All right, so there you have it.
• 10:56
  Sean McAllister: I mean, it will be a take on racing and racing fans that you have probably never heard or seen before.
• 11:03
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so sounds good.
• 11:05
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, we went to a brunch on Sunday at Villa Azor.
• 11:08

• 11:10
  Dayna Roselli: It's a fun restaurant right there in the Venetian Grand Canal shops Newish.
• 11:15
  Dayna Roselli: It's been open for a little bit more than a year, or exactly a year, now Right around a year.

  Sean McAllister: It was so good.
• 11:26
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 11:27
  Sean McAllister: Let me tell you and I think that this is on their dinner menu too but the Mediterranean salad is about one of the best salads I have ever had in my life.

  Dayna Roselli: It was delicious.
• 11:38
  Dayna Roselli: It was great it really was.
• 11:40

• 11:48
  Dayna Roselli: It's a nice, big, beautiful room.
• 11:49
  Dayna Roselli: If you get a chance, check out Villa Azor.
• 11:52
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, they start serving at 11, and then, as you get into the later brunch hours, then the DJ music kicks up.
• 11:59
  Sean McAllister: It's more of a vibe.
• 12:02
  Sean McAllister: We went early, which was good, because I think we needed a chill brunch.
• 12:09
  Dayna Roselli: We were just hopping back into our Vegas mode because we'd been away and hadn't really done much that week, so we were like, all right, it's time to Vegas again.
• 12:16
  Dayna Roselli: Katy Perry we talked about last week, so we won't harp on this.
• 12:20
  Dayna Roselli: She's done with her residency show called Play over at Resorts World, but we did want to mention some sightings at her final show.
• 12:27
  Dayna Roselli: This has been all the buzz on the internet.
• 12:29
  Dayna Roselli: Prince Harry was there and Meghan, selene Dion, cameron Diaz and her husband were there, benji Madden I always forget which.
• 12:37
  Sean McAllister: Madden, she's meant Okay, benji and the other one, okay, well, anyway.

• 12:43
  Dayna Roselli: There were a couple other people there too that were mentioned, but a star-studded crowd.

• 12:51
  Dayna Roselli: Orlando Bloom joined her.
• 12:52
  Dayna Roselli: Even during her show she introduced her daughter to the crowd.
• 12:56
  Dayna Roselli: A lot of people haven't seen her.
• 12:57
  Dayna Roselli: I think she's three-year-old daughter, so what a great time.
• 13:00
  Dayna Roselli: And she had her big going away party, I think that weekend over at the Neon Museum.
• 13:05
  Sean McAllister: Which is a super cool venue to celebrate a run of shows here in Las Vegas, and I mean it's an iconic spot.
• 13:14
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and she always talks about how she did that show, and it's interesting because she's in the Resorts World Theater, where the Stardust used to stand, and that her grandmother Well, her aunt was a show girl there and her grandma was a seamstress for the show girl show, so she's got deep roots here in Las Vegas.
• 13:35
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so when she was at the Neon Museum, I guess that's what I was leading to.
• 13:38
  Dayna Roselli: She takes a lot of pictures in front of the Stardust sign.
• 13:41
  Sean McAllister: That's really cool, isn't that cool?

  Sean McAllister: Let's do some tips ["The Royal Tea Party"].
• 23:10
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, so, sean, after I went to the Royal Tea Party, after I went to Villasor, I went to Cassie Beach House, cause then I was hungry again.
• 23:17
  Sean McAllister: That's a big day.
• 23:18
  Dayna Roselli: Group of friends.
• 23:19
  Dayna Roselli: They said let's go over to Cassie Beach.
• 23:21
  Dayna Roselli: I had never been and I just wanna tell everyone about this great space.
• 23:24
  Dayna Roselli: They had a great patio that sits right by the pool.
• 23:26
  Dayna Roselli: There at Virgin, people were in the pool in early November.
• 23:29
  Sean McAllister: Really.
• 23:30
  Dayna Roselli: Because apparently they keep their pool open longer and heat it and they say so many people come in from out of town, from like cold country, that they are ready to go in the pool, and so people were swimming.
• 23:41
  Dayna Roselli: I loved it.
• 23:41
  Dayna Roselli: But it was a beautiful day, beautiful inside and outside on the patio but I had something that I think everyone needs to have, and it was to die for One of the best things that I've had in a very long time for an appetizer, okay.
• 23:54
  Dayna Roselli: I'm excited about this.
• 23:57
  Dayna Roselli: Because you don't say this lightly, no, this bread Okay, it's called the Mese Platter, it's on the menu and it includes, like a whipped egg plant, a white bean dip with salsa rosa, a whipped ricotta and honey, and then it comes out with this oven roasted bread and it was ridiculous.
• 24:19
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, it was like blown up, where you was in a ball.
• 24:24
  Dayna Roselli: And so you have to like poke it to make it go down and it's cooked in the pizza oven and I don't know it was like a buttery flavor.
• 24:31
  Dayna Roselli: You pull it apart and then you put it in the.
• 24:34
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, this ricotta and with honey whipped thing was incredible and I just literally ate like 80% of the.
• 24:43
  Dayna Roselli: It was so.
• 24:44
  Dayna Roselli: And then it comes out with veggies too that are delicious.
• 24:46
  Dayna Roselli: It was such a great platter.
• 24:48
  Dayna Roselli: It's $25 on the brunch menu.
• 24:50
  Dayna Roselli: Delicious, delicious, delicious.
• 24:52
  Dayna Roselli: I can't even tell you that if you were looking for something to pick at and you want to sit, even if you just want to go for a glass of wine and have this, it was amazing.
• 25:02
  Dayna Roselli: So, cassie Beachhouse at Virgin Hotel.
• 25:05
  Sean McAllister: That's, I like that, and that sounds delicious.
• 25:07
  Dayna Roselli: It was delicious, I need to go and try that, do it.
• 25:11
  Sean McAllister: Hey, this other tip this week is from a listener, from Clinton, and Clinton, thank you for emailing us and sharing this with us.
• 25:21
  Sean McAllister: This has to do with getting to and from the airport.
• 25:25
  Sean McAllister: Especially if you have a group of people with you, Clinton, and if you're renting a car, that helps also.
• 25:33
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, so Clinton says you know what?
• 25:36
  Sean McAllister: It's a great idea if you have a group of people with your rental car, go drop them off at the airport.
• 25:43
  Sean McAllister: Let them be in the long lines at baggage.
• 25:46
  Sean McAllister: You go to the rental car place, drop it off, take the shuttle back over to the airport, and that is a huge time saver.
• 25:54
  Sean McAllister: So you and five other people if you have a family with you or friends don't have to all go through that rental car process and then when you get back to the airport then you're ready to go.
• 26:07
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 26:07
  Dayna Roselli: So drop them off with the bags, let them check in, check the bags, go through security.
• 26:12
  Dayna Roselli: Then when you show up you go right through with your boarding, pass through security and meet them at the gate.
• 26:16
  Dayna Roselli: Great time saver.
• 26:18
  Dayna Roselli: And Clinton says I think he used to drive, he used to work at the rental car center.
• 26:22
  Dayna Roselli: So he said this is a tip that I wanna pass on for folks.
• 26:25
  Dayna Roselli: So I love that.
• 26:26
  Dayna Roselli: What a great idea.
• 26:27
  Dayna Roselli: Drop everyone off, then it just takes away all that stuff.
• 26:30
  Dayna Roselli: I never would have thought of that.
• 26:32
  Sean McAllister: I wouldn't either, because I know when I've gone to the rental car facility there are.
• 26:36
  Sean McAllister: There can be sometimes big groups of people that are all there together and you don't wanna do that.
• 26:42
  Dayna Roselli: And then you gotta put all your bags now on the shuttle Right, then take the shuttle to the thing.
• 26:46
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my gosh, this is great.
