  Dayna Roselli: But first, Sean, I know you want me to give my firsthand account of the Chippendales 20th anniversary.
• 3:16
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, so this is something that we mentioned last week on the podcast.
• 3:20
  Sean McAllister: We mentioned that you were going to be going to the big uh anniversary celebration over there at the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino where the Chippendales have that's been their home since like 2002.
• 3:35
  Sean McAllister: Have the Chippendales aged a little better than the Rio?
• 3:39
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, they have.
• 3:41
  Dayna Roselli: That is my answer.
• 3:42
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, listen, I was walking through the Rio and great place, just a lot of emptiness in certain spots.
• 3:49
  Dayna Roselli: And I know we've talked about it before that we think possibly that the Rio is on the way out at some point.
• 3:56
  Dayna Roselli: Like they're getting ready to unload it or knock it down or turn it into something else or do a refurbish.
• 4:03
  Dayna Roselli: We aren't quite sure.
• 4:04
  Dayna Roselli: But anyway, the Rio used to have a lot going on.
• 4:08
  Dayna Roselli: They had you know the masquerade in the sky and a lot of different you know, that was great.
• 4:12
  Sean McAllister: Listen, I had uh many, many, many, many nights at the Rio over the years.
• 4:20
  Sean McAllister: That center bar.
• 4:21
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, oh, that was fun.
• 4:23
  Sean McAllister: That was so much fun with the go-go dancers up on the tables.
• 4:26
  Dayna Roselli: But anyway, um, yes, the Chip and Dows look great and were fantastic.
• 4:31
  Dayna Roselli: I just want to say, like, I haven't been since before the pandemic, you know?
• 4:35
  Dayna Roselli: And I know there was a period where they were doing the show with the whole mask thing and distance.
• 4:40
  Dayna Roselli: And we'd I just never bothered going um because I was like, you know, well, I'm gonna go.
• 4:44
  Dayna Roselli: And it was a perfect time to go for the 20th anniversary because now the masks are off and uh the clothes always comes off.
• 4:52
  Sean McAllister: Two, yeah.
• 4:53
  Dayna Roselli: But anyway, um, listen, it was great.
• 4:55
  Dayna Roselli: I loved it.
• 4:56
  Dayna Roselli: They've done some some changes to Chippendale's.
• 4:59
  Dayna Roselli: You know, Vinny was there from Jersey Shore hosting again.
• 5:01
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 5:02
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm not gonna lie, we were all, I don't want to say shocked, but like, wow, Vinny looks freaking good.
• 5:11
  Dayna Roselli: Now I'm not saying he looked bad before, but I saw him host the show in the past, and I thought, okay, Vinny looks good, great job.
• 5:18
  Dayna Roselli: But we were all like in our row, and I'm talking about friends and journalists and writers, and my cousin was here.
• 5:26
  Dayna Roselli: We were all like, whoa, Vinny looks really good this round of Chip and Dale.
• 5:34
  Dayna Roselli: So I know he's been doing some jump rope, and he's still doing the keto, but he does this scene, Sean, where he's like in a shower facing the other way, right?
• 5:46
  Dayna Roselli: So the audience butts out to the audience, little, you know, and then the lighting is like purple and it's like mysterious.
• 5:52
  Dayna Roselli: But then he does a turnaround, which I felt like, whoa.
• 5:57
  Dayna Roselli: But he's you know, covering areas, but the water's like dripping down, the ab six pack is in like in full effect.
• 6:06
  Dayna Roselli: It was a whole thing, and then the lights go off.
• 6:08
  Dayna Roselli: But anyway, it was um very sultry.
• 6:11
  Sean McAllister: Uh-huh.
• 6:12
  Sean McAllister: It sounds like it.
• 6:13
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, very sexy.
• 6:15
  Dayna Roselli: So, anyway, that was a great addition.
• 6:17
  Dayna Roselli: The girls loved it, the guys loved it.
• 6:19
  Dayna Roselli: There were just as many guys in the audience as girls, and actually, for a couple of the audience participation things, a couple guys went up on stage.
• 6:25
  Dayna Roselli: It was funny for the twerking contest and all sorts of stuff.
• 6:28
  Dayna Roselli: But listen, the whole crew was great.
• 6:29
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, really, I thought the cast was fantastic.
• 6:32
  Dayna Roselli: My friend John Howes is still in the show.
• 6:34
  Dayna Roselli: He's always great.
• 6:35
  Dayna Roselli: Um, the music was great.
• 6:37
  Dayna Roselli: They got rid of a few numbers, they added a few numbers.
• 6:40
  Dayna Roselli: They still got the construction workers, don't worry.
• 6:43
  Dayna Roselli: And, you know, the the tuxie, the iconic tuxie, you know, bow tie with the shirt off and all that kind of thing.
• 6:50
  Dayna Roselli: So it was a good time.
• 6:52
  Dayna Roselli: Um, if you've never been to Shippendales, it is a show.
• 6:56
  Dayna Roselli: I actually had um my other cousin didn't want to go.
• 6:59
  Dayna Roselli: She's like, oh, it's a little risque.
• 7:01
  Dayna Roselli: You know, I'm she was getting together with another friend.
• 7:03
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm like, I think a lot of people think like that it's more risque than it is.
• 7:10
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 7:10
  Dayna Roselli: Do you understand what I mean?
• 7:11
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 7:11
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I think people uh think that you're going into like a CD strip club where you're gonna be putting dollar bills down the G strings and there's like gyrating like things in your face.
• 7:26
  Sean McAllister: And it's not like that.
• 7:27
  Dayna Roselli: No.
• 7:28
  Sean McAllister: It's a production.
• 7:29
  Dayna Roselli: It's a production show, yeah.
• 7:30
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, there's some gyration.
• 7:32
  Sean McAllister: Well, there's there is gyration.
• 7:34
  Sean McAllister: But it's not like it's not like things are like flying at you.
• 7:39
  Dayna Roselli: No, no, that and they're on stage, yeah.
• 7:41
  Dayna Roselli: So I mean there's lots of and it's it's well done.
• 7:44
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, exactly what you're saying.
• 7:45
  Dayna Roselli: I think some people think it's that.
• 7:47
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, it's a great show.
• 7:49
  Dayna Roselli: It's a great time out.
• 7:50
  Dayna Roselli: I always say, and I can tell by the people around me, you don't really think like you have it in you until you're there, and you're like, okay, yeah, all sorts of feelings are happening right now.
• 8:01
  Sean McAllister: Well, listen, I have seen I have been to that show many times.
• 8:05
  Sean McAllister: I've had friends who've, you know, been in the cast over the years, and there are uh inhibitions that are just let go.
• 8:16
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 8:17
  Sean McAllister: Uh people in the audience, they just let their freak flag fly, and they get all into it.
• 8:26
  Sean McAllister: And but that's part of the experience.
• 8:28
  Dayna Roselli: I was gonna say, which adds to it.
• 8:30
  Dayna Roselli: It does, it does add to it because you're you know, you're cheering on the girl that gets the confidence to go up on stage and uh well, there's so many different numbers that were introduced.
• 8:39
  Dayna Roselli: I'm not gonna talk about.
• 8:40
  Dayna Roselli: We have a couple on our TikTok.
• 8:42
  Dayna Roselli: Go to our TikTok, Vegas Revealed, and check out Vinny.
• 8:46
  Dayna Roselli: I do have a video that I cannot post of the shower scene.
• 8:50
  Dayna Roselli: Oh.
• 8:51
  Dayna Roselli: I'm gonna leave that as like the surprise to get people there.
• 8:54
  Dayna Roselli: Okay but listen, uh, Vinny does a great job.
• 8:56
  Dayna Roselli: You know, he he's from Jersey Shore, he's known for being a little cocky, which makes it fun, you know?
• 9:03
  Sean McAllister: And uh guess it helps to be cocky if you're in the Chippendale show.
• 9:07
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 9:07
  Dayna Roselli: So, and he looks great.
• 9:08
  Dayna Roselli: Good for you for putting in the work and and and being there and having the confidence to do that.

  Dayna Roselli: 20 years at the Rio.
• 9:18
  Dayna Roselli: And if the Rio does close or move or get knocked down or whatever, I hope the Chippendales find a really cool place because they should just keep going.
• 9:27
  Dayna Roselli: That is Vegas.
• 9:27
  Sean McAllister: Oh, Chippendales will endure without a doubt.

  Dayna Roselli: Like he's so good.
• 9:51
  Dayna Roselli: He's so good at just keeping everyone on time.
• 9:54
  Sean McAllister: Well, it's tough when the cocktails are flowing at the bar.
• 9:57
  Sean McAllister: It's tough to get people moving sometimes.
• 9:59
  Sean McAllister: It is.
• 10:00
  Sean McAllister: Speaking of cocktails flowing at the bar, that is exactly what was happening uh earlier this week, as one of the most iconic restaurants in all of Las Vegas celebrated a major milestone.
• 10:14
  Sean McAllister: 40 years of Piero's Italian cuisine.
• 10:18
  Dayna Roselli: Unbelievable.
• 10:19
  Dayna Roselli: We were able to talk to Evan, who is the son of Freddie, who owns Piero's.
• 10:26
  Dayna Roselli: And he was telling us that Piero's used to be it just down the road in a different location.
• 10:30
  Dayna Roselli: They opened it, they didn't know how it was gonna do.
• 10:32
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, closer to downtown.
• 10:33
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and it used to be you know just such a hop and spot where everyone loved it, and then they ended up having to expand and move.
• 10:39
  Dayna Roselli: But and and he talked a lot about how they've been even offered to open more than one Pieros because people love it so much, but they keep it to just one spot.
• 10:48
  Dayna Roselli: And we discussed also how hard it is to keep a restaurant open for 40 years, especially in Las Vegas.
• 10:54
  Dayna Roselli: This party was great, right?
• 10:55
  Dayna Roselli: All sorts of celebs were there.
• 10:57
  Sean McAllister: I mean, it was it it was a VIP party.
• 11:02
  Sean McAllister: I there were VIPs there who you don't usually see at a lot of the VIP like media events.
• 11:10
  Sean McAllister: Exactly.
• 11:11
  Sean McAllister: Because these VIPs are like next level Vegas VIPs.
• 11:15
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 11:16
  Dayna Roselli: The limos were coming and going.

  Dayna Roselli: These are the people that embrace Las Vegas for everything that it is from beginning to now, and and and it's so great to see.

  Dayna Roselli: This party was great.
• 11:39
  Dayna Roselli: There must have been 400 to 500 people there.
• 11:42
  Dayna Roselli: And Piero's isn't huge, it has many rooms, but it isn't like huge, and so it was packed in there, which made it so much fun.
• 11:49
  Dayna Roselli: The food looked delicious, was delicious, and Pia Zodora was there.
• 11:56
  Sean McAllister: She was.
• 11:57
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.

  Sean McAllister: The Golden Globe winner, Pia Zodora, who has called Las Vegas home for many, many years now.
• 12:03
  Sean McAllister: I know you and I have each interviewed her uh several times over the years.
• 12:08

• 12:14
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 12:15
  Dayna Roselli: She looked great.
• 12:16
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, she was happy to be out.
• 12:17
  Dayna Roselli: She hadn't been out in a while, and she said Pia's place is coming back to Piero.
• 12:21
  Dayna Roselli: She announced that up on stage, which means she does a little show there in the lounge in the monkey bar area where they had the performances, and she loves doing it, and she said that she'll be back.
• 12:30
  Dayna Roselli: So we were excited to hear that.
• 12:32
  Dayna Roselli: Then we also caught up with Mark Davis, the owner of the Raiders, was there.
• 12:36
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, he was there.
• 12:37
  Sean McAllister: Says that Piero's is almost like a second home for him.
• 12:42

• 12:53
  SPEAKER_05: I live in the neighborhood and uh I love it here.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_05: My father would have his uh birthday parties here every five years.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_05: He would have a 60th, 70th, 65th, 70th birthday party, and he would bring in a bunch of uh Raider alumni and players and stuff, but we'd celebrate his birthday every five years, and one of the nights we would have dinner here at Piero's for the whole group.
• 13:16
  Dayna Roselli: We always see Mark Davis out and about, love to see that, but it was nice to catch up with him and really hear about you know why he loves this place.
• 13:23
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and listen, Mark has become such a huge supporter of the Las Vegas community, and I love that Piero's is like his go-to spot.
• 13:32
  Dayna Roselli: Isn't that cool?
• 13:33
  Dayna Roselli: I uh me too.
• 13:34
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, he was running into everyone there, chatting it up.
• 13:36
  Dayna Roselli: But it's just been great to have him as a part of the community, I think.
• 13:39
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it has been.
• 13:40
  Sean McAllister: We also spoke, Dana, with Evan and Freddie Glossman.
• 13:45
  Sean McAllister: This is uh Evan is the son of Freddie who opened Piero's 40 years ago, and who has turned the restaurant into such an iconic place for so many residents of Las Vegas and celebrities too.
• 14:02
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, everyone we talked to said we come over and over again because of Freddy.
• 14:06
  Dayna Roselli: Freddie's the reason here, you know, and the food.
• 14:09
  Dayna Roselli: They love the food too.
• 14:10
  Dayna Roselli: So we talked to Evan and then uh Freddie, like uh Sean mentioned.
• 14:15
  Dayna Roselli: And Freddie took a he everything we talked to Freddie about, Sean, he's such a funny guy, a sarcastic He's a jokester.
• 14:21
  Dayna Roselli: He's a jokester, yes.
• 14:23
  Sean McAllister: He likes to pull your leg a little bit.
• 14:25
  Dayna Roselli: So it took like seven minutes for us to like actually get a legitimate answer out of him, which was so much fun.
• 14:31
  Dayna Roselli: But uh let's listen to Evan and Freddie talk about Piero's 40th anniversary.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_00: My dad started it, you know, 40 years ago.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_00: He was here every night.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_00: Um, he still is here every night.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I'm here most nights.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and it's you know, my staff has all been here 20, 30 years.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_00: So you know, you know what you're gonna get at Piero's.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_00: Uh the food is incredible, the the service is impeccable, but it's the vibe, it's the people, it's the customers, it's the owners, it's just what works.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_00: So that's what keeps people coming back.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_00: This thing could not be duplicated.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_00: If I wanted to go open this in another city, which we've been offered a million times, without myself there or my dad there, or just Piero's really is magical.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody has a memory.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_00: Um it's home.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_00: Piero's is my dad, you know, and Piero's is me, and eventually, hopefully, it's my children, but his personality shines through in everything he does.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_00: Every customer is important to me.
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_01: They come back every year, every day, every week, every month.

• 15:48
  SPEAKER_01: I know a lot of people.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know if they like me, I really don't care as long as they spend money here.
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_01: Everything on the menu is delicious.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_01: From the Osubuco to the real shop parmesan to everything.
• 16:04
  Sean McAllister: Big congratulations to the Glusman family for you know having this enduring iconic restaurant that has become a part of the fabric of Las Vegas.
• 16:17
  Sean McAllister: And if you're not familiar where Piero's is, it is down Convention Center Drive, right by the Las Vegas Convention Center.
• 16:26
  Sean McAllister: Um, it's one of the old school Italian spots, kind of dark inside, has like the low ceiling kind of feel.
• 16:34
  Sean McAllister: Like you can tell that there is history in those walls.
• 16:38
  Dayna Roselli: That is for sure.
• 16:39
  Dayna Roselli: And and we were chatting about that.

• 17:22
  Dayna Roselli: Like, do I have any Duran Duran songs?
• 17:23
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm like, oh, this is a perfect transition.

  Dayna Roselli: And so they have tour dates in May and uh apparently September.
• 19:20
  Dayna Roselli: And I think they even said for this, and I'm I'm not gonna even bother going to the release, but almost positive that they said something like, Whoever had tickets before just keeps them.
• 19:30
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, yeah.
• 19:30
  Dayna Roselli: I don't even know if they were doing like a general sale, public sale, it said something about there's a whole way that you have to go about and getting the tickets.
• 19:37
  Dayna Roselli: So it might be a little different than you're used to.
• 19:40
  Sean McAllister: So look it up.
• 19:41
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, is the moral of that story.
• 19:42
  Sean McAllister: Exactly.
• 19:43
  Sean McAllister: Uh last week here on the podcast, we talked about the iHeart Radio Music Festival, the Daytime Village, and some of the acts that had just been announced for that.
• 19:52
  Sean McAllister: While we were talking about that, we were mentioning that usually Life is Beautiful is that same time period.
• 19:59
  Sean McAllister: iHeartRadio Music Festival, Life is Beautiful, usually happening at the same time.
• 20:04
  Sean McAllister: And just a couple days ago, the lineup has been announced for Life is Beautiful, and uh there are some great acts part of this.

• 20:50
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, they sold out in 45 minutes.
• 20:53
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 20:53
  Dayna Roselli: That makes sense, and that sounds, you know, typical.
• 20:56
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but they do like because they do like the single tickets every now and then, but then a lot of them you have to buy the whole weekend.
• 21:03
  Dayna Roselli: So go to Life is Beautiful's website.
• 21:05
  Dayna Roselli: I feel like, you know, if you wanna look into it, instead of us trying to explain it all, go click on the ticket link and figure out when's the best time to buy.
• 21:14
  Dayna Roselli: But it's lifeisbeautiful.com.
• 21:17
  Dayna Roselli: And again, general sale on sale Friday, March 18th.

• 21:44
  Dayna Roselli: All right, let's get to some tips.
• 21:50
  Sean McAllister: And Dana, you have a tip that's kind of straight out of the wilderness.
• 21:54
  Dayna Roselli: It is.
• 21:54
  Dayna Roselli: Well, I was reading about this and I was like, ooh, this sounds really cool.
• 21:57
  Dayna Roselli: It's over at Bally's and It's an exhibit that they're starting there on Friday, March 25th, and it's National Geographics Rarely Seen.
• 22:08
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, so I was like, what's this about?
• 22:10
  Dayna Roselli: And then I saw this beautiful picture of all these penguins, and I thought, what is this?
• 22:14
  Dayna Roselli: But what it is, it's uh apparently features this exhibit features 50 striking images shot by some of the world's finest photographers of places, events, natural phenomena, and man-made heirlooms, seldom seen by human eyes.
• 22:32
  Sean McAllister: Interesting.
• 22:33
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so it sounds like it's gonna be fantastic.
• 22:36
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it's presented by Imagine Exhibitions.
• 22:40
  Dayna Roselli: Again, it's called Rarely Seen, and it kicks off over at Bally's.
• 22:44
  Dayna Roselli: I believe the hours are like 10 to 8, and they do recommend that you do some advanced reservations.
• 22:51
  Dayna Roselli: They're encouraging that.
• 22:52
  Dayna Roselli: Tickets are on sale, they start at$35 for adults,$22 for children, and can be purchased by going to ixvegas.com.
• 23:02
  Dayna Roselli: So plan ahead.
• 23:02
  Dayna Roselli: If you're coming to Vegas and looking for something different to do, I think that's gonna be a great exhibit.
• 23:07
  Dayna Roselli: I can't wait to check it out.
• 23:08
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, that is really cool.
• 23:10
  Sean McAllister: And and something that you wouldn't necessarily expect here on the Vegas strip.
• 23:15
  Sean McAllister: Uh something you would expect, Dana, is a good sports viewing experience from any of the many uh sports books and sports bars that you find up and down the Las Vegas strip.
• 23:31
  Sean McAllister: Uh I went with some friends to see uh a basketball game recently.
• 23:37
  Sean McAllister: Uh we had we were planning on being near T-Mobile Arena since that's where the game was being played, because we wanted to be close in case any last-minute tickets uh came up for sale.
• 23:50
  Sean McAllister: So we were like, all right, uh let's just stop in to Park MGM and find a place over there, hang out for a little bit, see if we can grab some tickets.
• 24:00
  Sean McAllister: No tickets ended up coming available.
• 24:03
  Sean McAllister: But we did hang out at the Bet MGM Sports Book over at Park MGM, and that place was uh fantastic.
• 24:12
  Sean McAllister: Great.
• 24:13
  Sean McAllister: We could not have asked for a better environment to watch the game.
• 24:18
  Sean McAllister: I mean, the food was great, the drink was great, the atmosphere was just full of people, but not too full of people from both both teams were represented in the crowd over there, and the bar itself was pretty cool.
• 24:35
  Sean McAllister: We were on the back side of the bar and at a one of those high booths that kind of faces the the TV screens.
• 24:42
  Sean McAllister: But when you sit up at the bar, it it almost looks like you're pulling up to a gaming table.
• 24:49
  Sean McAllister: You know how the table, like a poker table, like it's round.
• 24:53
  Sean McAllister: It has many of those on the back side of the bar, and then a bartender just kind of like walks up to the middle of your little like bar top gaming table to serve you.
• 25:04
  Sean McAllister: Okay it's not a gaming table, it just looks like it.
• 25:07
  Sean McAllister: But um, but it was really cool.
• 25:09
  Sean McAllister: I was like, wow, I cannot believe I've never been in here, and it was a a great spot.
• 25:14
  Sean McAllister: So if you're looking for a a place to watch a game, the BetMGM Sportsbook over at Park MGM, I highly recommend it.
• 25:22
  Dayna Roselli: All right, I feel like all the places that we've been, you know, for s for the amount of time that we've lived here, there are still to this day new spots that we discover.
• 25:31
  Dayna Roselli: I think that's what's so great about living here.
• 25:32
