  Sean McAllister: I mean, have everybody just book this uh all inclusive experience.

  Sean McAllister: It's a great thing to add on, or uh, like we mentioned before, to know exactly what you're getting and how much it's gonna cost you.
• 8:35
  Dayna Roselli: And a reason to get out here and a reason to get out weekend trip or even just a midday, like hey, maybe we should go to Vegas Wednesday and Thursday.
• 8:43
  Sean McAllister: Absolutely.

  Dayna Roselli: We'll put a link in our show notes too, to the uh you know, they'll take you right to the to the website to look around and book it and you know, read up on it yourself too.
• 8:53
  Dayna Roselli: There's always a lot of little, but you know, for the most part, um, that's really the deal.
• 8:58
  Sean McAllister: It's kind of all in and and there's been a lot of talk about finding value in Las Vegas, and for this price and everything you get, I'm not sure that you could find a better value in Las Vegas right now.
• 9:11
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 9:12
  Sean McAllister: So there it is.
• 9:13
  Sean McAllister: There it is.
• 9:14
  Sean McAllister: We wanted to let you know about it, and now you know all of the details.
• 9:18
  Dayna Roselli: All right.
• 9:19
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, let's talk about that Thai restaurant that you and I went to uh separate times, not even knowing, but you were like, hey, I went to Nataya's secret kitchen, and I was like, I went there like two days before that.
• 9:29
  Dayna Roselli: And we were like, Oh, let's compare notes.
• 9:31
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but we had been there before.
• 9:32
  Dayna Roselli: I think we've even talked about it on the podcast here, but we it's not something we go to often.
• 9:37
  Dayna Roselli: I feel like I go there like once a year, but then I always love it.
• 9:40
  Sean McAllister: Uh yeah, I mean maybe like I'm there maybe once a year, but I need to go back because it really is.
• 9:46
  Sean McAllister: The food is so delicious.
• 9:48
  Sean McAllister: Uh, like you said, it's a great Thai restaurant.
• 9:51
  Sean McAllister: Um, they have a good bar, a huge wine selection.
• 9:55
  Dayna Roselli: They do.
• 9:56
  Sean McAllister: They even have uh some nights on Wednesdays, they have half-off bottles of rose.
• 10:01
  Sean McAllister: Uh on Thursdays, they have half-off bottles of uh select bottles of wine.
• 10:06
  Sean McAllister: They have a special menu that you can order from.
• 10:08
  Sean McAllister: But I mean, that's great.
• 10:09
  Sean McAllister: They have happy hour every day, three to six.
• 10:11
  Dayna Roselli: And it's in the northwest part of the valley, we call here in Las Vegas.
• 10:16
  Dayna Roselli: So if you're sitting on the strip, you're gonna look northwest, uh, it's up in that area.
• 10:21
  Dayna Roselli: Now, they actually, I don't want to say it's new anymore, but they had to move.
• 10:25
  Dayna Roselli: They were in a even a smaller spot um and expanded um over the last, I don't know, few years, five years ago.
• 10:31
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know, time flies lately, but um, it's so popular.
• 10:34
  Dayna Roselli: And whenever you and I mention it, people always go, Oh, I love that place.
• 10:39
  Dayna Roselli: So we thought we'd share it with everyone.
• 10:41
  Sean McAllister: Well, and you know what's funny?
• 10:42
  Sean McAllister: When we were uh we were sitting there having uh having a drink before our table was ready because we ended up getting over there early.
• 10:50
  Sean McAllister: And as we were sitting there, this couple came up to the bar and they ordered some drinks, and they were talking to the bartender and said, you know, we were we've never been here before, but we were at our son's baseball game, and rather than go home and cook dinner, we were like, Oh, we're somewhere close.
• 11:09
  Sean McAllister: And this came up.
• 11:09
  Sean McAllister: She was like, So we're excited to see what this is about.
• 11:13
  Sean McAllister: And then we started chatting with them.
• 11:15
  Sean McAllister: We're like, Well, you made a good choice because this is absolutely delicious.
• 11:19
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, you're gonna love it.
• 11:20
  Sean McAllister: And I could see them enjoying themselves as we were leaving.
• 11:25
  Dayna Roselli: Now don't go in.
• 11:26
  Dayna Roselli: So me and my friend walked in, me and Melissa walked in without a reservation, and you get the look.
• 11:32
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, because you really should make a reservation.
• 11:35
  Dayna Roselli: You should make a reservation, but they did seat us.
• 11:38
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and that's the second time me and her had gone there, I think, the year before, even.
• 11:42
  Dayna Roselli: I always say the year because I feel like time flies.
• 11:44
  Dayna Roselli: Sometime we go there often whenever we can.
• 11:47
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but um the one thing that I don't love is that I feel like they do rush you along.
• 11:53
  Dayna Roselli: So that's what we've both experienced.
• 11:55
  Dayna Roselli: And I think it's because it's so popular.
• 11:58
  Dayna Roselli: They don't want you to just sit and hang, and they're like, we got reservations, we got to keep turning over these tables.
• 12:05
  Dayna Roselli: Keep that in mind.
• 12:07
  Dayna Roselli: You may want to glance at a menu before you go.
• 12:10
  Dayna Roselli: Just I'm just talking about a couple things to kind of make it a little bit easier for yourself.
• 12:15
  Dayna Roselli: Um, my favorite appetizer there's always the fried avocado.
• 12:18
  Dayna Roselli: We get kind of the same things always.
• 12:20
  Dayna Roselli: I always love the basil ground chicken.
• 12:22
  Dayna Roselli: I get it really super hot.
• 12:23
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but anyway, just a little.
• 12:26
  Dayna Roselli: It depends on the time, but if they're busy, they are gonna move you along a little bit.
• 12:30
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 12:30
  Sean McAllister: See, I haven't had that experience there.
• 12:34
  Sean McAllister: But I usually go uh midweek and kind of a later dinner reservation too.
• 12:40
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 12:40
  Sean McAllister: So there's not a ton of people coming in after.
• 12:42
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 12:43
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 12:43
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, could depend.
• 12:45
  Dayna Roselli: The the last three times I've been, I felt like we were moved along.
• 12:50
  Dayna Roselli: Not like rushed like crazy, but just, you know, moved along a little bit.
• 12:53
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 12:54
  Sean McAllister: Efficiency.
• 12:55
  Sean McAllister: But it is delicious.
• 12:56
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it is.
• 12:56
  Sean McAllister: So try it out if you haven't.
• 12:57
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, Natalia's Secret Kitchen.
• 12:59
  Dayna Roselli: It's really good.
• 13:00
  Dayna Roselli: Um, hey, I just wanted to mention, I'm not gonna get into the new coffee shop that I sat at, but it's in that same plaza that we went and covered.
• 13:07
  Dayna Roselli: Brasseria EDO.
• 13:09
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it's right on Paradise, across from the sphere.
• 13:12
  Dayna Roselli: I told you that's my jam because I get my nails done there.
• 13:15
  Dayna Roselli: I love when there's new stuff.
• 13:16
  Dayna Roselli: So there's a new coffee shop called, uh, I think it's cargo.
• 13:20
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know how to say it, but it's Q-A-R-G-O.
• 13:22
  Dayna Roselli: I think it's from Miami.
• 13:23
  Sean McAllister: That's how I'd say it.
• 13:24
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I'm gonna get into that another time.
• 13:26
  Dayna Roselli: But while I was sitting there, it's next to Cleaver Steakhouse.
• 13:30
  Dayna Roselli: And me and my friend, it was like five o'clock on like a Friday.
• 13:34
  Dayna Roselli: Um, we were out at the pool, this and that, and we're like, oh, let's go get coffee and try that new because they have food there too.
• 13:39
  Dayna Roselli: It's delicious, by the way.
• 13:41
  Dayna Roselli: And it's very small, not tons of seating, so keep that in mind.
• 13:44
  Dayna Roselli: So I see I am ending up getting into it anyway.
• 13:46
  Dayna Roselli: I can't I can't hold back.
• 13:49
  Dayna Roselli: The amount of people that got dropped off to go to Cleaver, we were like, this is insane.
• 13:54
  Dayna Roselli: I had to make a note.
• 13:55
  Dayna Roselli: So Ubers were dropping people off, black cars from hotels, taxis.
• 14:01
  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, what?
• 14:02
  Dayna Roselli: And she was like, look, more people are coming, like between like five and six.
• 14:06
  Dayna Roselli: So I was thinking, I know Cleaver is great, and I know it's popular, and it's you know, really been talked about as being an excellent steakhouse.
• 14:14
  Dayna Roselli: And I can only assume that it's on a lot of those searches when people Google steakhouses in Las Vegas.
• 14:20
  Dayna Roselli: It's on a lot of those lists.
• 14:22
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and it's known for being really good.
• 14:24
  Dayna Roselli: But I thought, well, people must be coming from the strip to go to this steakhouse because I was seeing the black cars and the taxis and the Ubers.
• 14:34
  Dayna Roselli: And I know some locals might, you know, if you're planning, hey, we're gonna hit the bar and we're gonna have a big dinner and we're gonna drink wine, maybe Uber, so you don't have to drive home.
• 14:42
  Dayna Roselli: But I felt like there was so much traffic.
• 14:45
  Dayna Roselli: It had to be coming from the strip.
• 14:47
  Sean McAllister: And it was just an endless cycle of cars going to be.
• 15:05
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so I don't know.
• 15:06
  Dayna Roselli: Like, what's the deal?
• 15:07
  Dayna Roselli: Is it like so it's an attraction?
• 15:10
  Dayna Roselli: Is it on like a top 10 steakhouse list in Vegas or what's the deal?
• 15:14
  Sean McAllister: Interesting.
• 15:15
  Dayna Roselli: I haven't been there in ages.
• 15:16
  Dayna Roselli: I only went there for a group dinner.
• 15:17
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so I didn't get to choose what I wanted.
• 15:20
  Dayna Roselli: It was, you know, things were coming out and it was delicious, but I haven't been back.
• 15:23
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I need to get over there too.
• 15:24
  Sean McAllister: But as you were talking about the cars pulling up and dropping people off, uh, it made me think that next time I go over there, I might take an Uber too.
• 15:36
  Sean McAllister: Only because in that parking lot, it can sometimes be difficult to find a spot because it's not a huge parking area.
• 15:44
  Dayna Roselli: Definitely.
• 15:44
  Dayna Roselli: If you go in the day, like say you're gonna hit that coffee shop in the day, they have a new WABA there too, where they have great uh meat and vegetable bowls.
• 15:52
  Dayna Roselli: And um, but if you're in the day, you should be okay.
• 15:55
  Dayna Roselli: But a lot of those restaurants open at five.
• 15:57
  Dayna Roselli: So you got Cleaver, now you got EDO, America.
• 16:02
  Dayna Roselli: Marrakesh, right, and uh tacos and beer is in the corner, but I think that's open for a longer period, like lunch, dinner.
• 16:08
  Dayna Roselli: So yeah, so once you get them all going at the same time, it does get it does get past.
• 16:14
  Sean McAllister: So getting a ride could be the smart way to go.
• 16:16
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 16:16
  Dayna Roselli: And a lot of people sneak in there when they're sphere shows and park and walk.
• 16:20
  Dayna Roselli: Oh you gotta be careful of those folks too.
• 16:23
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, the park and walkers.
• 16:25
  Sean McAllister: Park and walkers.
• 16:27
  Dayna Roselli: Um, speaking of restaurants, we're going to the opening of Cantina Contramar.
• 16:33
  Dayna Roselli: By the time this uh post will be going on Friday night.
• 16:36

  Sean McAllister: I I said to Dan, I was like, so what exactly is the dolphin dive?
• 19:03
  Sean McAllister: And then you like got down and tried to show me.
• 19:06
  Dayna Roselli: Like, hello, and you don't know what the dolphin dive is when the shirt rips off and then you like get on the ground and you dive like a dolphin.
• 19:12
  Sean McAllister: I I think I just didn't know that that was the official term for it.
• 19:17
  Sean McAllister: I I am not I'm familiar with the moves.
• 19:21
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, you don't dolphin dive around the house or anything.
• 19:23
  Dayna Roselli: I do not.
• 19:24
  Sean McAllister: I would be more like a uh dolphin flop.
• 19:28
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, I mean they let's see, since March of 2017, that's a lot of performances.
• 19:34
  Dayna Roselli: Uh it's a great show with excellent dancing in it, really.
• 19:38
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I feel like the cast is is really top of the line.
• 19:41
  Dayna Roselli: They try out from all over the country.
• 19:43
  Dayna Roselli: Or sorry, and all over the world.
• 19:44
  Dayna Roselli: World.
• 19:45
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 19:45
  Sean McAllister: And there's singers, there's uh musical performers, dancers, obviously.
• 19:51
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 19:51
  Sean McAllister: Um, but there is there's a wide variety of talent in that show.
• 19:55
  Dayna Roselli: And yeah, I've been to both, actually, the one at Hard Rock and Sahara.
• 19:58
  Dayna Roselli: And I must say the current one too, um, the theater's great.
• 20:01
  Dayna Roselli: So FYI, it it really is a good theater in the Sahara that they have set up for Magic Mike Live.
• 20:07
  Dayna Roselli: So go over and see it, go support.
• 20:09
  Dayna Roselli: Um, we're happy that they're still around doing their thing, doing those dolphin dives.
• 20:14
  Dayna Roselli: Um, congratulations on uh 200 over at Sahara.
• 20:18
  Sean McAllister: Hey, listen, this is something that that caught our eye that I was excited about because growing up, we would always go to the dirt racetrack in Batavia, New York.
• 20:29
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 20:30
  Sean McAllister: And you we'd watch the stock car races going around.
• 20:33
  Sean McAllister: You'd have the chunks of dirt that come and fly up.
• 20:35
  Sean McAllister: Well, after the races, a lot of times there was a demolition derby too.
• 20:40
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 20:40
  Dayna Roselli: And I don't think that it's like a popular thing in Las Vegas.
• 20:43
  Dayna Roselli: So when I saw this too, I was like, okay, you don't get this very often.
• 20:46
  Sean McAllister: You don't, but it's coming to downtown Las Vegas.
• 20:50
  Sean McAllister: This isn't even up at the speedway.
• 20:51
  Sean McAllister: No.
• 20:52
  Sean McAllister: Over at the plaza, they have a dirt track built out there, and they're putting on the demolition derby.
• 20:59
  Sean McAllister: This is something that's returning uh to the plaza.
• 21:02
  Sean McAllister: I know that they've done it before.
• 21:04
  Sean McAllister: It's coming back to the core arena over there uh uh April 7th through the 10th.
• 21:10
  Sean McAllister: It's 4 to 9 p.m.
• 21:12
  Sean McAllister: Yeah each day.
• 21:13
  Dayna Roselli: Because it's always good at night.
• 21:14
  Dayna Roselli: It is Demolition Derby, I feel like is always it is because where I grew and where I grew up, we grew up in the similar town, close proximity towns.
• 21:22
  Dayna Roselli: Um, the county fair always took place, a Monroe County Fair in my town, and they had the best demolition derby, but it was a thing.
• 21:30
  Dayna Roselli: The who's who of the town would go.
• 21:32
  Dayna Roselli: Everyone was at the demolition derby.
• 21:34
  Sean McAllister: Everyone.
• 21:34
  Sean McAllister: It was like a it was a thing.
• 21:36
  Dayna Roselli: And you would see the cars getting ready like through the in the month, like you'd drive by a house and you'd see it in the driveway, and you'd be like, oh, they must be in the demolition derby.
• 21:45
  Sean McAllister: There is a kid I went to school with, uh, and his dad uh had he drove the stock car, but then he would be in the demolition derby too.
• 21:55
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 21:56
  Sean McAllister: So it was fun.
• 21:57
  Sean McAllister: We'd go and cheer on our our hometown driver.
• 22:00
  Dayna Roselli: So much fun, right?
• 22:01
  Dayna Roselli: It was a big deal.
• 22:02
  Sean McAllister: It was great.
• 22:02
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, back to Vegas.
• 22:05
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, tickets for the Sin City Showdown Demolition Derby produced by Stir and Dirt Racing are available online if you want to go check it out.
• 22:15
  Dayna Roselli: Four to nine on April 10th, like Sean mentioned, over at the Core Arena at the Plaza Hotel and Casino.
• 22:20
  Dayna Roselli: Sounds fun.
• 22:21
  Sean McAllister: It does.
• 22:22
  Sean McAllister: I'm bummed to be out of town for it.
• 22:24
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 22:25
  Sean McAllister: Because that would be that just talking about it, it's so nostalgic.
• 22:31
  Sean McAllister: It's making me really want to go.
• 22:33
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 22:33
  Dayna Roselli: It's a lot of fun.
• 22:34
  Sean McAllister: Oh, like we need to make sure.
• 22:35
  Sean McAllister: Maybe we need to hit up uh Jonathan Jostel over there at Plaza and ask him if they can bring it back in the fall.
• 22:41
  Dayna Roselli: That would be good.
• 22:43
  Dayna Roselli: Well, let's talk celebrity news with a Vegas twist now.
• 22:49
  Sean McAllister: Well, how about we kick off our celebrity news with a Vegas twist with the one and only Lisa Vanderpump?
• 22:56
  Sean McAllister: We have talked about how uh the Cromwell Boutique Hotel is turning into the Vanderpump hotel.
• 23:05
  Sean McAllister: And we now have an opening date.
• 23:07
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 23:08
  Dayna Roselli: I was surprised to see this because I feel like it came up boom out of nowhere, um, which is great.
• 23:12
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, but it says that you can book now uh for stays starting at the end of May.
• 23:18
  Dayna Roselli: So that's coming up.
• 23:19
  Sean McAllister: That's coming up real quick.
• 23:21
  Sean McAllister: So they're uh redoing rooms, they're redoing the inside of the casino, lots of pink.
• 23:27
  Sean McAllister: Expect lots of pink in there, of course.
• 23:29
  Sean McAllister: That's what you would expect from Lisa Vanderpump.
• 23:32
  Sean McAllister: Uh, but it's her own twist.
• 23:34
  Sean McAllister: And she's, you know, been in hotels, hospitality, restaurants, really for a lot of her most of her career.
• 23:43
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 23:43
  Sean McAllister: I mean, she was a model and everything and got into hospitality and has been doing that for a long time.
• 23:49
  Sean McAllister: So um, but I know that she's talked about the fact that this is the first time that she's actually been able to kind of reinvent a hotel property and put her own stamp on it.
• 24:00
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 24:01
  Sean McAllister: So it'll be fun to see.
• 24:03
  Sean McAllister: I have a feeling it's gonna be a popular place, especially for bachelorette parties.
• 24:07
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and her because her venues are uh beautiful here on the strip.
• 24:11
  Dayna Roselli: The one at Paris is gorgeous, the one at Flamingo, so nice.
• 24:14
  Dayna Roselli: Pinkies, yeah.
• 24:15
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, we walked in.
• 24:16
  Dayna Roselli: We that's the only one I haven't actually gone and hung out at yet, but we did walk in when we were walking by once, and I was like, wow, this is stunning.
• 24:23
  Dayna Roselli: The one the one at Caesar's Palace.
• 24:25
  Dayna Roselli: She knows what she's doing.
• 24:26
  Sean McAllister: And there's always there's lines at every single one of her venues all the time.
• 24:31
  Dayna Roselli: And I feel like it's a good, like it's it's a theme, but not, you know, because a lot of people keep saying lately, like some of the hotels that have opened here.
• 24:41
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, and I feel like they're more the luxury hotels, obviously, the Fountain Blue resorts world, don't have themes anymore.
• 24:48
  Dayna Roselli: And like, bring back the theme.
• 24:49
  Dayna Roselli: But like, I feel like this is a boutique, it's different in so many different ways.
• 24:53
  Dayna Roselli: It's a theme, but we're not talking like, you know, like Paris or Italy or anything like that, but it's Vanderpump in her style.
• 24:59
  Dayna Roselli: And there is, like you were saying, bachelorette parties.
• 25:02
  Dayna Roselli: Like, there's a theme there that I don't know, it's gonna do really well, I think.
• 25:06
  Sean McAllister: Well, and it's built around the brand that she has built for herself through reality TV and through restaurants and through hospitality.
• 25:16
  Sean McAllister: So I I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if she brought some production from her reality shows out here to do something at her hotel.
• 25:26
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 25:26
  Sean McAllister: I mean, that would be just a no-brainer marketing move.
• 25:29
  Dayna Roselli: Which will make people want to stay there.
• 25:31
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 25:31
  Dayna Roselli: If you're a fan of the show, you're gonna want to maybe be in the background of a shot or be there when they're filming, be up at the rooftop pool.
• 25:41
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it should be good.
• 25:42
  Dayna Roselli: Um, Lisa Vanderpump also getting honored this year as woman of the year for the um Nevada ballet black and white ball.

• 25:53
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but Lisa Vanderpump is um going to be honored as the 2026 woman of the year.
• 25:58
  Dayna Roselli: So congratulations to her.
• 26:00
  Dayna Roselli: You can tell she's engrossing more and more in the community.

  Sean McAllister: I mean, on 24, that show is still to this day.

  Sean McAllister: And that's so fun that that he's going to be there.
• 27:21
  Sean McAllister: Like you would uh when I first heard that he was coming here, I was like, oh, where where on the strip is he going to be performing?
• 27:30
  Sean McAllister: But I think it's so cool that Durango got him.
• 27:33
  Sean McAllister: I know, and that it's gonna be at an off-strip property.
