• 2:15
  Sean McAllister: It's not bad.
• 2:16
  Sean McAllister: I know.

• 2:26
  Sean McAllister: But you know.
• 2:27

  Dayna Roselli: That's right.
• 7:53
  Dayna Roselli: You can always email us ideas at vegas-revealed.com.
• 7:57
  Dayna Roselli: Well, one of the biggest questions that we have had over the last week, week and a half is how is this new COVID surge affecting Las Vegas?
• 8:06
  Sean McAllister: Another surge.
• 8:07
  Dayna Roselli: Another surge.
• 8:08
  Dayna Roselli: Even, you know, when we talk about episode 100, uh, we were gonna do something for like episode 50 and then or like episode 10, you know, and then uh things keep happening where we go, oh, I don't know if like a big gathering is is good right now.
• 8:20
  Dayna Roselli: But anyway, um, again we have a surge and people are in many ways scaling back on things, but I don't know, in Las Vegas we went ahead with New Year's Eve and did not hold back.
• 8:34
  Sean McAllister: Well, and as we uh are recording right now, the consumer electronics show, CES, is underway, which is one of the largest trade shows in Las Vegas all year.
• 8:46
  Sean McAllister: Uh there have been major companies that have pulled out of uh exhibiting here in person and only taking part virtually.
• 8:54
  Sean McAllister: Um, and as a result of everything that's going on with COVID, CES made a decision to shorten the length of the conference by one day.
• 9:05
  Sean McAllister: Lots of people still are here in town for CES and for other conventions that are, you know, planned in the near future.
• 9:14
  Sean McAllister: But, you know, it's there are still big impacts happening.
• 9:18
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and so let let's talk about that.
• 9:20
  Dayna Roselli: So what has changed?
• 9:21
  Dayna Roselli: What's new?
• 9:22
  Dayna Roselli: Well, when it comes to masks indoors, that has not changed.
• 9:25
  Dayna Roselli: They're on.
• 9:25
  Dayna Roselli: We have no end in sight or any talk about when that could possibly end.
• 9:29
  Dayna Roselli: We've had masks on indoors for a while now.
• 9:33
  Dayna Roselli: So I know like New York added masks indoors, and they were all like, uh, you know, oh no, we have to go back to masks.
• 9:38
  Dayna Roselli: Or like, we've already had our masks on.
• 9:40
  Sean McAllister: So we had like a month over the summer when masks were allowed to come off, and then there was a spike and masks went back on, and here in Vegas, indoors, masks have been back on ever since.
• 9:53
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 9:53
  Dayna Roselli: Now, people will ask as well, do people really wear them indoors?
• 9:58
  Dayna Roselli: And you have to be honest, you know, and it's like uh certain things we've gone to, the masks have been off.
• 10:03
  Dayna Roselli: You know, a lot of times it's people have a drink in their hand and people find ways around it because you know, if you're eating or drinking.
• 10:09
  Dayna Roselli: So yes and no, I think they have slowly come off a little bit more.
• 10:16
  Dayna Roselli: You can't have the mask police constantly telling you to pull it up.
• 10:20
  Dayna Roselli: However, more recently, I think I've noticed the masks back on inside more.
• 10:28
  Dayna Roselli: People following the rules.
• 10:30
  Sean McAllister: Yes, if you're going through a casino or something like that, there's a considerable number of masks.
• 10:39
  Sean McAllister: Obviously, there's you know, some people who are gonna pull them down, whatever, you know, nurse their their beer bottle and pretend that they're eating or drinking or smoking the whole time.
• 10:52
  Sean McAllister: Um by and large, I think indoors people have been following the mask requirement.
• 10:59
  Sean McAllister: Where that's a little different is for big sporting events and concerts.
• 11:05
  Sean McAllister: Once people are in their seats, I have noticed personally that a lot of the masks come down.
• 11:12
  Sean McAllister: And you know, when you're packed into an arena or a theater, yeah, there is a big open you're in a big open space.
• 11:21
  Sean McAllister: However, you're also packed in pretty closely with people around you too.
• 11:26
  Sean McAllister: And you're yelling and cheering and singing, and there's you know Spittle that's flittering.
• 11:32
  Dayna Roselli: This new variant is a lot more contagious.
• 11:37
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it's spreading like wildfire.
• 11:39
  Sean McAllister: I I just saw a report that 95% of cases now are this Omicron variant.
• 11:47
  Sean McAllister: So it does spread very easily.
• 11:50
  Sean McAllister: It's out there, it's you know, the cause of this big surge right now.
• 11:54
  Sean McAllister: We do our testing lines here in Las Vegas are hours long, and this is for drive-through testing.
• 12:01
  Sean McAllister: People go in and and get in line, and it takes hours for them to get in line, and it's hard to find home test kits at at stores.
• 12:13
  Sean McAllister: So you know, it is it's a real thing.
• 12:15
  Dayna Roselli: It really is.
• 12:16
  Dayna Roselli: And I just was watching on the news yesterday, and there's a whole plan here to try and get more of these testing sites available.
• 12:23
  Dayna Roselli: Because yeah, the traffic I was driving through an intersection the other day was all backed up.
• 12:27
  Dayna Roselli: When I got home, I realized it was because of was a line of a cars heading to a site near UNLV for testing, so it was crazy.
• 12:35
  Dayna Roselli: But when you ask, is Las Vegas a ghost town because of what's going on?
• 12:38
  Dayna Roselli: No, no, it is busy.
• 12:40
  Dayna Roselli: We had our New Year's Eve fireworks, we had all of our lounges and and nightclubs and shows open, so we have not, you know, canceled anything.
• 12:50
  Dayna Roselli: And I know a lot of people have canceled things because there's been a shortage of staff, like people are calling in sick.
• 12:56
  Dayna Roselli: Well, we haven't experienced that just yet.
• 12:58
  Dayna Roselli: However, after New Year's, I mean, this is something that we could definitely see a spike in.
• 13:03
  Sean McAllister: That's true, that's true.
• 13:05
  Sean McAllister: But as you mentioned, visitor numbers have not really dipped because of you know the the spike in cases and whatever, or because of of mask requirements.
• 13:16
  Sean McAllister: It has not stopped people from coming here to Las Vegas.
• 13:20
  Sean McAllister: If you plan a trip here, you are not going to be alone.
• 13:24
  Sean McAllister: You're gonna be with many other people who have the exact same plan.
• 13:28
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 13:29
  Dayna Roselli: So we'll we'll have to see what happens, but for now, restaurants, shows, everything's open, right?
• 13:34
  Dayna Roselli: As long as as long as we have the staff and and everyone's working, that's as of now.
• 13:38
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, but as we know, things can change at the the drop of a hat.
• 13:42
  Sean McAllister: And as you also know, Vegas Revealed will keep you in the know about what's going on here in Vegas.
• 13:49
  Sean McAllister: And something else that's new here in Las Vegas, Dana, and if visitors are booking trips to come here to Las Vegas, you may notice that the international airport here in Vegas now has a new name.
• 14:03
  Dayna Roselli: That's right.
• 14:04
  Dayna Roselli: It's now the Harry Reid International Airport.
• 14:06
  Dayna Roselli: And, you know, you're used to seeing McCarron when you pop in some searches.
• 14:11
  Dayna Roselli: Our call letters or airport letters or airport code, whatever you call it, is still LAS, okay?
• 14:17
  Dayna Roselli: But you might have seen McCarron a lot, and now you're gonna see the Harry Reid International Airport pop up.
• 14:22
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, the signage around the airport is gonna be changing uh very soon.
• 14:27
  Sean McAllister: Um, and it's named after our longtime uh Nevada senator.
• 14:33
  Sean McAllister: He was Senate Majority Leader for years, Harry Reid, and he recently passed away, but he was able to live long enough to see the airport named after him.
• 14:44
  Dayna Roselli: I can only imagine it was a huge moment for him.
• 14:47
  Dayna Roselli: He passed away shortly after the airport was officially named after him.
• 14:52
  Dayna Roselli: He had been struggling with pancreatic cancer for a while.
• 14:55
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and you know, let's just put politics aside and take a quick moment to say, you know, shout out to everything that Harry Reid did for Nevada.
• 15:03
  Dayna Roselli: Um, because he really brought Nevada to the forefront.
• 15:07
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, we were known as just Las Vegas, you know, this big empty state with just Las Vegas and it's in the middle of nowhere, it's in the desert, blah, blah, blah.
• 15:14
  Dayna Roselli: But we have a lot of things going on here that are important to us and a huge important industry and other industries besides just tourism that affect our state.
• 15:22
  Dayna Roselli: And I feel like he really, you know, brought that I I guess I should say brought attention to that.
• 15:28
  Sean McAllister: Yes, he did.
• 15:30
  Sean McAllister: He he's really was instrumental in turning the Las Vegas Strip into what it is today.
• 15:35
  Sean McAllister: He did a lot for for public lands down here in southern Nevada and really across the state, and uh really helped push forward a lot of uh plans that have helped the entire country as well.
• 15:48
  Dayna Roselli: Our condolences to Harry Reed's family.
• 15:50
  Dayna Roselli: Sean and I have worked with his son Rory Reid over the last two years a lot with projects for the Rogers Foundation.
• 15:56
  Dayna Roselli: Um they have a huge just impact in our area, you know, the entire family has.
• 16:00
  Sean McAllister: So Yeah, and a memorial is planned for Harry Reid at the Smith Center for Performing Arts.
• 16:07
  Sean McAllister: Uh a former president Barack Obama is set to give the eulogy.
• 16:11
  Sean McAllister: They were very close friends, and um, you know, Barack Obama has credited Harry Reid with uh him winning the presidency.
• 16:20
  Sean McAllister: So many uh friends, colleagues, family members uh will be there uh to pay their respects uh for Harry Reid at that memorial.
• 16:31
  Dayna Roselli: And then he will lie in state at the Capitol building in Washington, D.C.
• 16:36
  Sean McAllister: So again, among the honors for Harry Reid, you will now notice his name on uh Las Vegas' International Airport, now known as Harry Reid International Airport.
• 16:47

  Sean McAllister: So, you know, it's kind of gonna be Martha's home cooking.
• 19:16
  Dayna Roselli: All right.
• 19:17
  Sean McAllister: At the Bedford, and this is at Paris, Las Vegas.
• 19:20
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it's something different.
• 19:21
  Dayna Roselli: It's gonna open in spring of 2022, so this spring.
• 19:24
  Dayna Roselli: So look forward to that.
• 19:25
  Dayna Roselli: Lots of new restaurants opening here in Las Vegas, and that is one of them.
• 19:30
  Dayna Roselli: Well, soon Martha's gonna be waking up in Vegas.
• 19:33
  Sean McAllister: Just like Katy Perry.
• 19:35
  Dayna Roselli: These transitions for for episode 100 man top notch.
• 19:39
  Sean McAllister: Fire.
• 19:39
  Dayna Roselli: Fire.
• 19:40
  Dayna Roselli: Well, Katy Perry opened her new show at Resorts World, and boy, from the clips we've seen, we have not gone yet.
• 19:46
  Dayna Roselli: We're we're gonna go, we will be there eventually, but from the clips that we have seen circulating, it was big, right?
• 19:53
  Dayna Roselli: The props, what do you call it?
• 19:54
  Sean McAllister: It's like the scenery, the props, the screen, yeah.
• 19:58
  Sean McAllister: I mean, there's a giant singing uh turd, a poop, yeah that that comes out of a toilet and sings, and I think she eventually flushes that away when it's time is done.
• 20:12
  Sean McAllister: Um there are I mean, if you've seen Katy Perry at the Super Bowl, you know, with the dancing sharks and riding in on the big horse and all that, it's that scale except times 25.
• 20:29
  Sean McAllister: It is a visual spectacle.
• 20:33
  Sean McAllister: It's Katy Perry's songs, which you know are just so fun to sing along with.
• 20:40
  Sean McAllister: It's a party.
• 20:41
  Sean McAllister: You go and play, which is the name of the show.
• 20:44
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 20:44
  Dayna Roselli: The name of the show is play.
• 20:45
  Dayna Roselli: And I was seeing that like some of the quotes they put out, like Vogue magazine said Katy Perry is still the queen of camp.
• 20:50
  Dayna Roselli: So, you know, it's a very campy show, apparently.
• 20:53
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and people are raving about the you know the visuals too.
• 20:57
  Dayna Roselli: It's just fun, it looks fun.
• 20:59
  Dayna Roselli: I know people seem to have a great time.
• 21:01
  Dayna Roselli: I saw someone say it was one of the best shows they'd ever seen in Vegas.
• 21:04
  Sean McAllister: Um, so we'll be the judge of that when we go, but and I saw another headline that says that uh Katy Perry lactates beer at one point in the show.
• 21:14
  unknown: What?
• 21:15
  Sean McAllister: You don't get that with with Celine.
• 21:17
  Dayna Roselli: No, and I know you were watching a live feed on one of the nights, I think it was the night before New Year's Eve, her first show.
• 21:23
  Dayna Roselli: And you were saying you heard her talking about how she has a lot of history in Las Vegas.
• 21:27
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, her uh so Resorts World is built on the site where the Stardust used to be.
• 21:35
  Sean McAllister: And Katy Perry was telling a story up on stage about how uh her aunt was a top showgirl at the Stardust, and her grandma also worked there as a seamstress for the showgirls.
• 21:49
  Sean McAllister: So she has family history, and she said to be there on that site where her family had had worked for years is just kind of like a full circle moment.
• 21:59
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that's.
• 22:00
  Dayna Roselli: That's a big deal, I'm sure, to to her and her family.
• 22:02
  Dayna Roselli: Um, something else that she had commented on was that, you know, she couldn't have done this show like in an arena, like to move all the props and sets.
• 22:11
  Dayna Roselli: So it was just been a little bit more than a lot of people.
• 22:12
  Dayna Roselli: Like a touring show.
• 22:13
  Sean McAllister: It's not even possible.
• 22:14
  Dayna Roselli: No.
• 22:14
  Dayna Roselli: So she was so thankful, and she said, like, this show was basically built for this theater.
• 22:19
  Dayna Roselli: So that's really cool.
• 22:20
  Dayna Roselli: She's got a lot of dates still left in January, and then she will be back in March if you'd like to see Katy Perry play.
• 22:27
  Sean McAllister: Uh, someone we will not see coming back, Dana, is David Lee Roth.
• 22:32
  Sean McAllister: We'd mentioned uh uh few episodes ago that David Lee Roth was doing this big kind of coming out of retirement series of shows here in Las Vegas.
• 22:43
  Sean McAllister: Uh he had to cancel the New Year's Eve show for COVID purposes.
• 22:48
  Sean McAllister: Uh and then uh apparently the rest of them have just kind of been yanked as well.
• 22:54
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 22:54
  Dayna Roselli: Well, yeah, we had him, you know, talking on the, I think it was the last episode that we did of the year that he was excited to add on.
• 23:00
  Dayna Roselli: He said, I guess people really want to come see me because he had sold out.
• 23:03
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 23:04
  Dayna Roselli: Like you said, the first the first batch.
• 23:06
  Dayna Roselli: So we aren't sure what happened there, but um we wish David Lee Roth well, and maybe we'll see him back here in Vegas if he decides to bring those shows back.
• 23:14
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, some big breaking news over at the Tropicana.
• 23:18
  Dayna Roselli: We saw our friend Frank Marino, and I say our friend, because I actually am friends with Frank, but he kept this from me.
• 23:25
  Dayna Roselli: Um, he wouldn't tell me what was going on.
• 23:28
  Dayna Roselli: I knew something was brewing.
• 23:29
  Sean McAllister: I know next time you talk with him or go out and play tennis, yeah.
• 23:32
  Sean McAllister: You're gonna be like, Frank, what's up with this?
• 23:34
  Dayna Roselli: Well, we went to his last show in Legends.
• 23:37
  Dayna Roselli: He was the host of Legends for a long time over at the Tropicana, but Legends was kind of shutting down as far as like just moving.
• 23:43
  Dayna Roselli: We didn't know what with the future of Legends, but we figured it was gonna move properties because they were moving in MJ Live from from the Strat, which is a Michael Jackson tribute concert.
• 23:53
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 23:53
  Dayna Roselli: They're moving that before the Prince show, which is called Purple Rain, and so they kind of go together, but apparently Frank is bringing back Divas, which was a long time show up and down the strip in different locations for many, many years, but he's bringing it to the Tropicana, but it's not the same exact thing, it's legend-esque.
• 24:18
  Sean McAllister: It is so the original Divas production uh was a drag performance, it was guys impersonating you know female superstars.
• 24:28
  Sean McAllister: Well, in this iteration of Divas, Frank is going to be hosting the show as he does so well and tying the whole thing together, introducing different acts, but the rest of the cast is all female and they are all tribute artists.
• 24:44
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 24:44
  Dayna Roselli: Apparently, it's gonna have a live band, it's gonna have dancers, it's singers, uh, some of the artists that will be included in the show, Adele, Cher, Celine, Gaga, and then of course Frank Marino as Joan Rivers himself.
• 24:58
  Dayna Roselli: I knew he couldn't give it up.
• 24:59
  Dayna Roselli: He had talked sometime about, you know, when when do I, you know, move on, but he loves it so much, and so this'll give him a chance to still do his jokes, you know, probably open the show, make a couple appearances throughout the show.
• 25:12
  Dayna Roselli: I think it's gonna be great.
• 25:13
  Sean McAllister: And he's great at what he does.
• 25:15
  Sean McAllister: And what are all of those wigs and gowns and jewels and shoes going to do if Frank isn't wearing them up on stage?
• 25:24
  Dayna Roselli: It's so true.
• 25:25
  Dayna Roselli: He's gotta make use of them.
• 25:27
  Dayna Roselli: So we look forward to that.
• 25:28
  Dayna Roselli: That is coming to the drop starting February 2nd, so a little over a month from now.
• 25:33
  Sean McAllister: Congratulations, Frank, and the entire cast.
• 25:36
  Sean McAllister: Um Cheap Trick is a band that people absolutely love.
• 25:42
  Sean McAllister: So much fun to go see their live shows.
• 25:44
  Sean McAllister: Uh, they are going to be sitting down at the Strat for a little bit.
• 25:48
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I think they've got like four shows planned now, two kind of weekends, and we'll see if more pop up.
• 25:54
  Dayna Roselli: But people love Cheap Trick, and I know a lot of people are excited about this one.
• 25:58
  Dayna Roselli: So congratulations.
• 25:59
  Dayna Roselli: They'll be going over to the Strat.
• 26:01
  Dayna Roselli: I think the shows are in February and March.
• 26:04
  Sean McAllister: All right, so there are some headlines, some moving and shaking from the strip.
• 26:08
  Sean McAllister: And uh, Dana, before we move on, you saw some moving and shaking down on the strip on New Year's Eve, and I was absolutely shocked by the plans that you had on New Year's Eve.
• 26:23
  Dayna Roselli: You texted me and said, Doing anything fun for you know New Year's Eve?
• 26:26
  Dayna Roselli: Because I had just kind of gotten back into town after Christmas break.
• 26:30
  Dayna Roselli: I went home to New York to see the fam, which, you know, was great.
• 26:32
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and I said, Well, if I tell you, you're gonna kill me.
• 26:35
  Dayna Roselli: And you wrote back right away you knew what it was.
• 26:38
  Dayna Roselli: You said, You're not going clubbing, are you?
• 26:41
  Sean McAllister: And the response was, uh-huh.
• 26:44
  Dayna Roselli: I think there was an OMG in there.
• 26:45
  Dayna Roselli: There was.
• 26:46
  Dayna Roselli: OMG, yeah.
• 26:47
  Sean McAllister: OMG.
• 26:48
  Dayna Roselli: I'm not gonna tell the story leading up to it of how it ended up because it's a whole thing.
• 26:52
  Dayna Roselli: I kind of got uh ultimately it doesn't matter.
• 26:55
  Dayna Roselli: It doesn't matter.
• 26:55
  Dayna Roselli: I got sucked into going to a club.
• 26:57
  Dayna Roselli: Um we the the the people that I was invited by, some friends of mine had a table at Marquee at the Cosmopolitan.
• 27:05
  Dayna Roselli: Uh the DJ was Fisher.
• 27:08
  Dayna Roselli: We had, I don't know, they were bringing out, you know, Don Julio and Cristal.
• 27:13
  Dayna Roselli: But they we ordered food, which was I didn't realize Marquis had food.
• 27:16
  Dayna Roselli: I had some great quesadillas and pizza and sushi and yeah, because they kept saying, well, we've got like a um, you know, what do you call a minimum?
• 27:23
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, like a minimum.
• 27:24
  Dayna Roselli: So just order whatever you want.
• 27:26
  Dayna Roselli: Well, I did, and uh it was a great night.
• 27:28
  Dayna Roselli: Um our table was great because it was set back off the dance floor and roped off.
• 27:32
  Dayna Roselli: So I didn't feel like because you know, with everything going on with COVID and stuff, no matter if you're masked, you're unmasked, people are don't have their masks on.
• 27:38
  Dayna Roselli: We just talked about that.
• 27:39
  Dayna Roselli: Obviously, they got a drink in their hands, so I was a little nervous, but I thought, okay, I like that I'm set back a little and we were kind of near the back door, which was great because when it struck midnight, we were able to go out and see the fireworks.
• 27:50
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, nice.
• 27:51
  Dayna Roselli: So I was really excited to be a part of that, and it ended up being fun, but no, clubbing is not my thing.
• 27:56
  Dayna Roselli: Do I want to run back to Marquee next week?
• 28:00
  Dayna Roselli: No.
• 28:01
  Sean McAllister: But it was fun.
• 28:02
  Dayna Roselli: But it was fun and it was memorable.
• 28:03
  Sean McAllister: And you were dressed to the nines in your new silver dress.
• 28:07
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 28:07
  Dayna Roselli: My new dress that my parents got me for Christmas that I had sequence from the knees up, Sean.
• 28:14
  Dayna Roselli: And you were a little more low-key.
• 28:16
  Dayna Roselli: You went to a great dinner in the Henderson area, right?
• 28:18
  Sean McAllister: Uh yeah, we went to a place called uh Spaghetto, which is a great Italian place.
• 28:23
  Sean McAllister: They had uh live music there.
• 28:25
  Sean McAllister: They had a Frank Sinatra tribute artist who was singing.
• 28:29
  Sean McAllister: It was it was a really great dinner, and then um we stopped at a casino, the M Resort we stopped at um to gamble a little bit, and then we were home by 11 to watch the the countdown.
• 28:42
  Sean McAllister: So that was my wild night.
• 28:44
  Sean McAllister: You were still ordering sushi and quesadillas at 11.
• 28:47
  Dayna Roselli: Listen, I went to bed at 5 a.m.
• 28:48
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my god.
• 28:49
  Dayna Roselli: I'm not we had a limo.
• 28:51
  Sean McAllister: I didn't know.
• 28:52
  Dayna Roselli: Oh yeah, we had a limo.
• 28:53
  Dayna Roselli: So we're like, so then crap.
• 28:54
  Dayna Roselli: And some of the people we were with were like, oh, um, you know, I could go for a diet coke right now, you know.
• 28:59
  Dayna Roselli: So we were like, you know, we had time to kill because we had the limo for a certain amount of time.
• 29:02
  Dayna Roselli: So we're like, hey, let's go to Taco Bell.
• 29:05
  Dayna Roselli: So we went to Taco Bell in the limo.
• 29:09
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, I figured might as well make the best of it.
• 29:14
  Dayna Roselli: And then and then yeah, finally we got home.
• 29:16
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, I think I went to bed at five, which is why I'm still I'm mad because I was really doing well before the holiday of like my eyes were opening right up at like 7.15.
• 29:26
  Dayna Roselli: Now I am all off.
• 29:27
  Dayna Roselli: First of all, I went to the East Coast, then I came back, then I had a couple nights where I went to bed at 4 and 5 a.m.
• 29:32
  Dayna Roselli: And then here I am today, and so now I'm like tired.
• 29:36
  Dayna Roselli: Like my alarm goes off at like eight because I have to set it because I'm all off, and I'm slowly getting earlier and earlier.
• 29:42
  Sean McAllister: But I know, I'm the same way sleeping in.
• 29:45
  Sean McAllister: I had to get up for a doctor's appointment and be there at 7:30 this morning.
• 29:48
  Dayna Roselli: Wow.
• 29:49
  Sean McAllister: That was rough.
• 29:50
  Dayna Roselli: That is.
• 29:50
  Dayna Roselli: When you told me you had that, I was like, have fun.
• 29:52
  Sean McAllister: I know, I know.
• 29:53
  Sean McAllister: Gotta reset the body clock after the holidays.
• 29:56
  Dayna Roselli: It's true.
• 29:57
  Sean McAllister: Okay, let's get to our tips.
• 30:02
  Sean McAllister: And we're going to start with uh a Twitter question that we received from a listener.
• 30:07
  Dayna Roselli: That's right.
• 30:08
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, we've never really gotten this specific question before, so I thought let's talk about this.
• 30:12
  Dayna Roselli: Um, because this is something that a lot of people I see on Twitter talking about is like, you know, what's it like to live in Vegas and things like that.
• 30:20
  Dayna Roselli: So um we had a question that said, what are some of the unique things only in Las Vegas to consider if moving here?
• 30:28
  Dayna Roselli: Um so I was quickly thought, and it was like rambling out a bunch of things, and then you had some ideas.
• 30:33
  Dayna Roselli: So we thought, well, let why don't we put this into our tips?
• 30:35
  Sean McAllister: And and really quick, this is relevant because we have had an influx of people uh from California, Arizona, Utah moving to Las Vegas.
• 30:45
  Sean McAllister: So this is there are a lot of new uh residents here right now who may not know some of these things.
• 30:52
  Dayna Roselli: Very true.
• 30:53
  Dayna Roselli: And I start off with it's hot in the summer, which everyone kind of knows, but if you've never been to Las Vegas and you just think, eh, I can deal with a little heat in the summer, if you have issues with heat, it is really hot here in the summer.
• 31:10
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, it's a dry heat, and so you know, if it's in the 90s, you may not notice the difference.
• 31:18
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 31:18
  Sean McAllister: Up to 105, I feel.
• 31:20
  Dayna Roselli: It's okay.
• 31:21
  Dayna Roselli: But we have many days that are in the 115s, 12.
• 31:26
  Dayna Roselli: Well I think sometimes we have like a day or two that's like 120.
• 31:30
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, but we had a stretch where it was like 117 this past summer.
• 31:34
  Dayna Roselli: True, true.
• 31:34
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, if it's something that you're not into, prepared for, it's not good for your health, any of that kind of thing, you might want to just keep that in mind.
• 31:43
  Dayna Roselli: But I love the heat because we have air conditioning going all the time in Vegas.
• 31:46
  Dayna Roselli: Um, all our properties and indoor, you know, things are and and we have covered parking mostly everywhere.
• 31:52
  Dayna Roselli: We have plenty of pools to go to, access to pools, public pools, hotel pools.
• 31:58
  Dayna Roselli: So it's great if you love if you do love the heat.
• 32:02
  Sean McAllister: And something to go along with the heat.
• 32:03
  Sean McAllister: Be prepared to drink more water than you think you need.
• 32:07
  Sean McAllister: Like a lot more water because it is a dry heat, and so you'll get dehydrated really quick.
• 32:14
  Sean McAllister: So you gotta stay on top of drinking your water.
• 32:16
  Dayna Roselli: And then something kind of related is when it's cold, it's cold.
• 32:19
  Sean McAllister: It is.
• 32:20
  Dayna Roselli: Because people will say, Oh, it's the 50s, you know, in Las Vegas in the you know, winter, and I'm like, it's 50s, but if the sun is not shining, it is a dry 50, which makes it very cold.
• 32:32
  Sean McAllister: It does.
• 32:32
  Dayna Roselli: And overnight when we have like 30s and 40s, it is like a bitter cold.
• 32:38
  Sean McAllister: I've gone out around my neighborhood these past few mornings, and the uh water from people's irrigation is in the the gutters and it's frozen over.
• 32:46
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 32:47
  Dayna Roselli: We've had a couple nights in the what was it, 28, 32?
• 32:50
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 32:51
  Sean McAllister: And my car dings and notifies me when it gets to 39 degrees, a big snowflake pops up on the dashboard.
• 32:57
  Dayna Roselli: True.
• 32:57
  Dayna Roselli: It does I know.
• 32:58
  Dayna Roselli: And sometimes our tires go a little flat and it says need air.
• 33:01
  Dayna Roselli: But here's the deal that happens like probably five days out of the year, right?
• 33:06
  Dayna Roselli: True.
• 33:07
  Dayna Roselli: Like around so it's not terrible.
• 33:10
  Dayna Roselli: Um December at the beginning half was beautiful, November was beautiful, but um the second half of December and January now that we're into, it's been pretty cold.
• 33:21
  Dayna Roselli: And then February, we usually have like it could be this or that.
• 33:25
  Dayna Roselli: There's years I've been like barbecuing on the back patio in a tank top during the Super Bowl.
• 33:29
  Dayna Roselli: I always say the Super Bowl because it's always in February, and there are other times where it's been chilly, you just don't know, hit or miss.
• 33:36
  Dayna Roselli: Then it really starts to kind of warm up and it's nice in March and April, and then it gets really hot in May.
• 33:41
  Sean McAllister: And listen, compared to other places in the country, we're not like sub-zero cold.
• 33:47
  Sean McAllister: However, people think Las Vegas and they think it's warm and hot all year round.
• 33:52
  Sean McAllister: And they come to Vegas in the wintertime with shorts and tank tops, and then they freeze their asses off.
• 33:57
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 33:57
  Dayna Roselli: No, it's true.
• 33:58
  Dayna Roselli: Very true, very true.
• 33:59
  Dayna Roselli: They think desert hot, but not all year, people.
• 34:02
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 34:02
  Sean McAllister: So that's why you need to know that in the wintertime it does get cold.
• 34:06
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, another thing.
• 34:07
  Dayna Roselli: We have no state taxes.
• 34:08
  Dayna Roselli: It's a huge bonus.
• 34:09
  Dayna Roselli: I love it.
• 34:10
  Dayna Roselli: I love it tax time that we don't have to fill out a state form.
• 34:13
  Dayna Roselli: I love that state taxes don't come out of our check.
• 34:16
  Dayna Roselli: You get a little bit more in the bank, but our car registration here in Nevada, in southern Nevada at least, is super high.
• 34:26
  Dayna Roselli: Well, you and I were lived in New York State, where listen, that's a whole that was state taxes and there were a lot of expenses there.
• 34:32
  Sean McAllister: Taxed out the wazoo.
• 34:33
  Dayna Roselli: But our like registration, I don't even know if they called it that.
• 34:35
  Dayna Roselli: Well, we had to get an inspection, right?
• 34:37
  Dayna Roselli: It was like 11 bucks or 18 bucks back.
• 34:39
  Dayna Roselli: This was back, I don't know what it is now, but say it's in the 20s, 30s.
• 34:42
  Sean McAllister: You take you go to the mechanic, they do an inspection on your car, and you get an inspection sticker, and that qualifies you to yeah, re-register your vehicle.
• 34:51
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 34:51
  Dayna Roselli: Well, not here in Nevada.
• 34:52
  Sean McAllister: No.
• 34:52
  Dayna Roselli: I have a 2019, literally just paid my registration last week, and it was four hundred and thirty-eight dollars.
• 35:01
  Dayna Roselli: And that's a three-year-old car.
• 35:03
  Dayna Roselli: As your car decreases in value through the years, your price will go down.
• 35:07
  Dayna Roselli: But if you have a brand new car, if you have an expensive car, the more expensive it is, the higher your registration.
• 35:14
  Dayna Roselli: But we're talking in the hundreds at least.
• 35:18
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, easy, above that per year.
• 35:20
  Sean McAllister: Yep.
• 35:21
  Sean McAllister: I think I my uh vehicle before the one that I have now uh was uh 2003 Mitsubishi Montero, and I drove it until the beginning of 2019, so that was 16 years old.
• 35:37
  Sean McAllister: I think I did end up getting my registration down to$98.
• 35:41
  Dayna Roselli: Wow, I've never heard of that.
• 35:43
  Sean McAllister: And I the it was like that voice in the back of my head, it was like, no, don't get rid of your car because you finally don't have to you're finally paying under a hundred bucks for registration.
• 35:55
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 35:55
  Sean McAllister: And then of course I got a new car and then it was skyrocketed to like the five hundred several hundred, yeah.
• 36:03
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it's it's huge.
• 36:04
  Dayna Roselli: So keep that in mind.
• 36:05
  Dayna Roselli: Car registration is expensive.
• 36:07
  Dayna Roselli: Something else that's expensive is car insurance, depending on where you live, and I'm not sure if it's like this everywhere, but all around the Las Vegas area, there are zip codes that are, you know, more accident-prone.
• 36:22
  Dayna Roselli: Accident prone.
• 36:23
  Dayna Roselli: That's what I'm looking for.
• 36:24
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 36:25
  Dayna Roselli: Mine being one of them.
• 36:26
  Dayna Roselli: I live in the area of 89109, which is near the strip, and the car insurance is high there.
• 36:31
  Dayna Roselli: It's the price I pay because there are more accidents near the strip.
• 36:35
  Dayna Roselli: There are, you know, people that are up late at night and things like that.
• 36:39
  Dayna Roselli: So um it's pretty high.
• 36:41
  Dayna Roselli: But if I live and when I live down in the southwest part of the valley, it was significantly lower.
• 36:47
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, so that's something to keep in mind, you know.
• 36:50
  Sean McAllister: Even though we don't have the income tax, they do get the money out of you one way or another, don't they?
• 36:56
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 36:57
  Dayna Roselli: Uh one of my other kind of things to know is the highway isn't always the way around in Las Vegas.
• 37:03
  Sean McAllister: No.
• 37:03
  Dayna Roselli: It you know, because we've got like we've got highway and it's very busy and things like that.
• 37:08
  Dayna Roselli: But we're almost like, I want to say almost like a big circle with a big act uh big T in the middle.
• 37:15
  unknown: Yeah.
• 37:15
  Dayna Roselli: Some highway or like a T and then a little bit more in the north.
• 37:20
  Dayna Roselli: We've got the spaghetti bowl.
• 37:22
  Dayna Roselli: So we have I-15 that runs straight through the middle of Up and down.
• 37:26
  Dayna Roselli: Up and down.
• 37:27
  Dayna Roselli: 215 that runs, you know, east to west in the kind of lower-ish part.
• 37:33
  Dayna Roselli: Summerland Parkway in 95 that runs east to west, and then 95 that continues up north to the west, 15 who continues up north straight down the middle, and we've got the 95 on the east side.
• 37:46
  Dayna Roselli: But that's really it.
• 37:47
  Dayna Roselli: So we have a lot of space in between and pockets where what I'm trying to get at is sometimes the surface streets are the way, and a lot of people choose to take surface streets.
• 37:55
  Sean McAllister: I know you are a surface street lover.
• 37:57
  Dayna Roselli: Love it.
• 37:58
  Dayna Roselli: Whenever I have to drive to Sean's, I have to take the highway, and I always complain about it.
• 38:03
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, so anyway, the highway isn't always the way.
• 38:06
  Dayna Roselli: If you love highway driving and you like to just get places by just being on the highway, that's not the case here.
• 38:12
  Dayna Roselli: Sometimes you got to take the surface streets to kind of maneuver around to get places.
• 38:16
  Dayna Roselli: And we have a lot of roads that start and then stop too, and then continue on another.
• 38:20
  Sean McAllister: And then pick up later somewhere else in the valley.
• 38:23
  Sean McAllister: Uh, for people looking for homes, something that you may want to know is uh if you're coming from a part of the country where there's a lot of different types of architecture, generally speaking, you're not gonna find that here.
• 38:37
  Dayna Roselli: No.
• 38:38
  Dayna Roselli: We call it cookie cutter homes, right?
• 38:40
  Dayna Roselli: Track homes, very popular stucco.
• 38:43
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, a lot of stucco.
• 38:44
  Sean McAllister: Tile roofs.
• 38:46
  Dayna Roselli: It's different, you know.
• 38:46
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, and some people like the the look and feel of a newer home and a kind of a cookie cutter home, and the everything kind of looks the same feel.
• 38:54
  Dayna Roselli: Others do not.
• 38:55
  Dayna Roselli: So keep in mind you will find a lot of that here.
• 38:58
  Dayna Roselli: And when I say that, I also mean like the entire yard.
• 39:01
  Dayna Roselli: Like your yard is sometimes in the back, just like a brick wall, literally, you know, surrounding a very small yard.
• 39:08
  Dayna Roselli: Big yards are not and you'd think because we're in the middle of the desert and we have all this land that big yards would be all over the place, but they they they are not.
• 39:16
  Sean McAllister: Especially in the newer neighborhoods that are that have been built and are being built, the lot sizes are very small.
• 39:24
  Sean McAllister: It's enough for a house, maybe a small patio, and that's it.
• 39:29
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 39:30
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, if you're looking for a larger yard, you usually have to go to older neighborhoods and more of the older Vegas homes.
• 39:35
  Dayna Roselli: But and then obviously, you know, the rich will always be the rich.
• 39:38
  Dayna Roselli: They have big homes and big yards.
• 39:41
  Dayna Roselli: Right?
• 39:42
  Dayna Roselli: So we do have plenty of those available too.
• 39:44
  Dayna Roselli: Such is life.
• 39:45
  Dayna Roselli: So we do life.
• 39:46
  Dayna Roselli: No, but a lot of the um just want to point out some of the track homes, if they're a neighborhood with like, you know, a gate or something like that, they usually have like a community area, like a park and a pool.
• 39:54
  Dayna Roselli: So it kind of is sort of your community, your community backyard.
• 40:00
  Sean McAllister: And something else I wanted to point out for people who are new to Las Vegas, uh, you know, people always make fun of us for uh making a big deal out of it when it rains.
• 40:11
  Sean McAllister: Mainly because it doesn't really rain a lot.
• 40:14
  Sean McAllister: But one of the reasons that we do make a big deal out of it is because it is very hazardous on the roads.
• 40:22
  Sean McAllister: What happens here is that because most of the year it is so hot, the oil from the asphalt in the roads uh rises to the surface of our streets.
• 40:34
  Sean McAllister: And then when it rains, oil and water don't mix very well, and it makes the streets very slippery.
• 40:40
  Sean McAllister: And for people who are not used to driving in Las Vegas in the rain, sometimes they go a little too quick.
• 40:48
  Sean McAllister: And that causes accidents, people spin out all the time.
• 40:52
  Sean McAllister: That's why when it rains in Las Vegas, any amount, you see a lot of accidents.
• 40:57
  Sean McAllister: So just keep that in mind and be extra cautious.
• 41:00
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and if it's our version of black ice, right?
• 41:03
  Sean McAllister: It is, it is exactly.
• 41:05
  Sean McAllister: So there's a lot of information and tips for you if you are planning to move to Las Vegas or if you're a new resident here.
• 41:13
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and just quickly, hey, but we love it.
• 41:16
  Dayna Roselli: We have a variety of things to do.
• 41:18
  Dayna Roselli: You can go luxury, or you can just go to a movie theater and a mall and be a normal person, or you can, you know, stay home and go swimming.
• 41:27
  Dayna Roselli: We have such a we can go to the best shows, you can go to small shows, uh, all sorts of stuff to do here.
• 41:34
  Dayna Roselli: It's really one of the greatest cities on earth, is what I like to say.
• 41:39
  Dayna Roselli: Forget Disney World.
• 41:40
  Dayna Roselli: We're the greatest city on earth.
• 41:42
  Sean McAllister: We really are.

  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 41:46
  Dayna Roselli: We moved here in in 2004, 2005 and never looked back.
• 41:49
  Sean McAllister: Yep.
• 41:49
  Dayna Roselli: All right, two other quick tips we wanted to go through because they were pre-planned before we got this question.
• 41:54
  Dayna Roselli: I wanted to mention that the drop bar reopened over at Green Valley Ranch.
• 41:58
  Dayna Roselli: That is the uh hotel casino that is in the southeast part of the valley in the Henderson area, Green Valley area, a station casino, right?
• 42:07
  Dayna Roselli: And I know you lived near there for a very long time.
• 42:10
  Sean McAllister: I love it over there, yeah.
• 42:11
  Sean McAllister: So you know the drop bar.
• 42:12
  Sean McAllister: I know the drop bar very well, right in the center of the casino, and now it's got a whole new look.
• 42:18
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 42:18
  Sean McAllister: It's been renovated.
• 42:20
  Dayna Roselli: I'm excited to go see it.
• 42:21
  Dayna Roselli: They have a DJ that performs there now.
• 42:23
  Dayna Roselli: They've got a new craft cocktail menu and all that kind of stuff.
• 42:27
  Dayna Roselli: They just celebrated 20 years at Green Valley Ranch.
• 42:30
  Dayna Roselli: So congratulations and happy, happy anniversary.
• 42:33
  Sean McAllister: Also, uh the Palms, as we've mentioned in the past, is getting ready to reopen with new ownership, San Manuel Gaming.
• 42:41
  Sean McAllister: Uh, and they're looking to hire.
• 42:43
  Sean McAllister: They need to fill some positions over there.

  Dayna Roselli: So if this kind of goes along with if you're thinking about moving to Vegas.
