  >> All right guys, well today's lead story
• 0:28
  is a $10 million dollar win.
• 0:31
  >> Well, this is exciting for us because as
• 0:33
  you know, if you watch any of our shows,
• 0:36
  we enjoy poker.
• 0:37
  >> We do. We do. World Series of Poker just
• 0:39
  crowned a new champion, Lucas Jamelone.
• 0:42
  >> Jamelone Jamelone?
• 0:43
  >> I think that's correct. I heard him
• 0:45
  pronouncing his name several times.
• 0:46
  >> be Jamelone.
• 0:47
  >> No, no, it's Jamelone. I was I was I was
• 0:49
  watching it last night. Uh what an
• 0:51
  interesting finale
• 0:53
  >> Interesting to say the least. What a
• 0:55
  quick finale.
• 0:56
  >> guy
• 0:58
  got it back to even and then just
• 1:00
  believe that he was being bluffed and
• 1:02
  just gave the whole thing away. It was
• 1:03
  >> Yes, very surprising that he did that.
• 1:06
  >> Uh but you know, it's hard to to
• 1:08
  criticize from afar. I mean, who knows
• 1:10
  what he was seeing.
• 1:11
  >> Maybe he saw something that we didn't
• 1:12
  see that he thought
• 1:13
  >> he was right. He was bluffing. But then
• 1:15
  he got there.
• 1:15
  >> But then he got there. Yeah, but he
• 1:16
  didn't get all in.
• 1:17
  >> Yeah.
• 1:18
  >> Had had uh Lauri Lauri Lauri?
• 1:21
  >> Yeah.
• 1:22
  >> Had he got all in on the turn, yeah, it
• 1:24
  would have made more sense. But since he
• 1:25
  didn't cuz he made a good read on the
• 1:27
  turn and then he just donked it at the
• 1:29
  river. So it just makes
• 1:30
  >> zero sense.
• 1:30
  >> He thought he was like throwing the hook
• 1:31
  out there and had his opponent on the
• 1:33
  hook and
• 1:34
  meanwhile he he got re-hooked.
• 1:35
  >> It was bad. Once that uh four spade hit
• 1:37
  the board, he should have just He should
• 1:39
  have just got out.
• 1:40
  >> one of these videos where like someone
• 1:41
  has a fish and like they're reeling one
• 1:43
  in and as they're like bringing it out
• 1:44
  of the water at the like the pier and
• 1:46
  like a some bigger fish comes and like
• 1:47
  grabs it? That's pretty much what just
• 1:49
  happened to this poor guy. Anyway,
• 1:51
  congratulations. I mean
• 1:52
  >> He still got [clears throat] $6 million.
• 1:53
  >> won 10 million, one won six. So
• 1:56
  uh
• 1:57
  next May, World Series of poker be back
• 1:58
  on? We'll be talking about that maybe.
• 2:01
  You never know.
• 2:02
  >> Vici
• 2:05
  and Caesars Entertainment have been
• 2:06
  floating an idea about bringing the NBA
• 2:09
  here.
• 2:09
  >> going for a while, we all know.
• 2:10
  >> is the fourth or fifth
• 2:11
  >> Yeah.
• 2:13
  >> bid. I'm still in favor of the guy who
• 2:15
  owns
• 2:17
  the Knights
• 2:17
  >> Right.
• 2:18
  >> and T-Mobile, even though in general I'm
• 2:20
  not a fan of
• 2:21
  conglomerates and corporate stuff.
• 2:23
  >> Monopolizing all the sports.
• 2:24
  >> Yeah. But like in this case, I think
• 2:25
  that in the interest of
• 2:28
  gross
• 2:30
  like
• 2:31
  people just continue to
• 2:33
  do more and more here. It's never
• 2:35
  enough. Do we need another arena?
• 2:37
  >> But he also knows what he's doing. I
• 2:38
  mean, he's proven it with the Knights,
• 2:39
  so. That's why I like that.
• 2:41
  >> Yeah. So, right, the proposed site's
• 2:43
  behind the Paris and the Horseshoe and
• 2:46
  Planet Hollywood.
• 2:47
  >> Okay.
• 2:47
  >> Right in the heart of the Strip.
• 2:48
  >> Right.
• 2:49
  >> Uh you'll know where this is. It's where
• 2:51
  the Bottle Bash stadium is right
• 2:52
  >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Been there. Right
• 2:53
  across Right across from Ellis Island,
• 2:55
  which they would love that.
• 2:56
  >> It'd be good for Ellis Island. I
• 2:59
  think that this is a terrible location.
• 3:00
  >> Right.
• 3:01
  >> you're coming from the highway, you got
• 3:02
  to get across the street.
• 3:03
  >> either.
• 3:04
  >> And you got to get to the other side of
• 3:05
  the Strip from the highway. There's
• 3:06
  really no back entrance.
• 3:09
  >> Yeah. No streets that would need to be
• 3:11
  widened.
• 3:11
  >> Yeah, if you're ever coming from the
• 3:12
  [music] airport connector, you're having
• 3:14
  to take a whole bunch I just think it's
• 3:16
  a terrible spot. I like T-Mobile. You
• 3:18
  got Frank Sinatra access you got right
• 3:20
  off the highway access you have.
• 3:21
  >> Yeah.
• 3:22
  >> I mean, it's just
• 3:22
  >> Well, it's kind of the same as the
• 3:23
  Sphere.
• 3:25
  It's kind of a weird spot, but it's also
• 3:27
  down away from stuff, too.
• 3:29
  >> Yeah.
• 3:29
  >> Spring Mountain is six lanes.
• 3:31
  >> The Sphere gets a lot of walking
• 3:33
  traffic. You end up parking at the
• 3:34
  Venetian and then you walk from there.
• 3:37
  I don't know. Anyway,
• 3:38
  >> Yeah, they have no parking at the
• 3:39
  Sphere.
• 3:39
  >> I'm I'm actually very curious as this
• 3:40
  develops because the NBA's coming here.
• 3:43
  It's not official yet, but it's it's
• 3:44
  coming.
• 3:45
  >> Right. Every time one of these comes out
• 3:46
  though, they end up just squashing it
• 3:47
  and they either say it's too expensive
• 3:49
  or it's not at right timing or
• 3:51
  something. So, we'll see what happens
• 3:52
  with this. We'll keep an eye on it,
• 3:54
  though.
• 3:54
  >> I would put a warm $1 on there's NBA
• 3:56
  being played here
• 3:58
  by 2030.
• 3:59
  >> Within 2030? Oh, yeah, I would say that.
• 4:01
  >> Yeah. Like
• 4:01
  >> I would say at least the stadium is
• 4:03
  being built by 2030.
• 4:04
  >> that they'll be jumping the first ball.
• 4:06
  >> and okay.
• 4:07
  >> Ideal. I think it's going to happen next
• 4:08
  year. I think it's going to happen next
• 4:09
  year.
• 4:10
  >> Hey guys, Red Rock Resorts, guess where
• 4:11
  we're recording from today?
• 4:13
  >> Green Valley Ranch.
• 4:14
  >> Ranch, which is owned by Red Rock

  Resorts.
• 4:17
  >> Right.

  >> RRR. 510 million in future revenue.
• 4:22
  Their second biggest Q2 ever.
• 4:24
  >> Yeah.
• 4:25
  >> continue to grow. I don't Again, we've
• 4:26
  talked about this over and over again. I
• 4:27
  don't know where the locals continue to
• 4:29
  get all the money.
• 4:29
  >> Right.
• 4:30
  >> Uh but Red Rock Resorts
• 4:32
  >> lot of that from us, though. We've We've
• 4:34
  been very cautious when playing at
• 4:37
  Station Casinos lately.
• 4:39
  >> shade to
• 4:40
  to
• 4:41
  Green Valley Ranch or Station Casinos.
• 4:42
  >> not. We just haven't lost a lot here
• 4:44
  lately.
• 4:44
  >> haven't been playing here because we
• 4:45
  don't get
• 4:47
  the benefit.
• 4:47
  >> I was just going to leave it at that.
• 4:49
  >> mean, just and again, nothing I mean,
• 4:50
  they have a beautiful They're redoing
• 4:51
  it. It's a beautiful hotel.
• 4:52
  >> but you don't give us anything, so why
• 4:53
  would we play here?
• 4:54
  >> I mean, well, I mean, it's
• 4:56
  >> Oh, man, Mike.
• 4:58
  >> It's not. It's It's a fact. So,

• 5:07
  >> to absolutely crush it. I mean, it's
• 5:08
  They're expanding it. They're adding
• 5:09

  Mrs. DJ wanted to go see a movie?
• 5:47
  >> Okay.
• 5:48

• 6:19
  >> Wow.
• 6:20

  >> I I'm still I'm still shocked. You know,
• 6:26
  I
• 6:26
  >> I mean, you I didn't even think you were
• 6:27
  allowed to drink
• 6:29
  >> You're not.

  >> alcohol.
• 6:29
  >> It's an island off the coast. It's kind
• 6:32
  of like Macau.
• 6:33
  >> going to turn it into a kind of an area
• 6:34
  where you can drink and gamble.
• 6:35
  >> Or in Atlantic City.
• 6:36
  >> Right.
• 6:37
  >> Where like it's like, ah, you know,
• 6:38
  we're really against all these things,
• 6:39
  but we're really for money.
• 6:41
  >> yeah, we like money. Yeah.
• 6:43
  >> Uh money tends to to trump morality.
• 6:45
  >> Did they make this island or was it
• 6:46
  already there?
• 6:47
  >> I'm assuming it was already there.
• 6:48
  >> It wasn't like the the palm tree?
• 6:51
  >> Well, the well, the palm tree, the only
• 6:52
  thing that first the first thing that
• 6:53
  came to mind was the airport in Hong
• 6:54
  Kong.
• 6:55
  >> Right. Okay.
• 6:55
  >> this freaking airport.
• 6:57
  >> Yeah.
• 6:57
  >> They made the they made the
• 6:58
  >> the island.
• 6:59
  >> Right.
• 6:59
  >> It's crazy and it's one of the most uh
• 7:01
  amazing airports I've ever been to in my
• 7:02
  life. I love that place.
• 7:03
  >> seen video. I've never been
• 7:04
  >> Oh, it's an awesome spot. So anyway,
• 7:06
  this thing's already on track. It's it's
• 7:08
  uh over budget.
• 7:10
  >> 5.8 billion.
• 7:11
  >> Significantly over budget. Hundreds of
• 7:12
  millions of dollars over budget.
• 7:14
  >> That's a lot.
• 7:15
  >> It's it's more than an extravagant
• 7:17
  hotel.
• 7:17
  >> it just is absolutely amazing.
• 7:20
  >> I would love to go see it.
• 7:22
  >> the Wynn ever wants to have us go out
• 7:24
  there for a
• 7:24
  >> Red Rock Resort Resort was 1 billion.
• 7:27
  The entire resort.
• 7:28
  >> Yeah.
• 7:29
  >> So imagine it being almost six Red
• 7:31
  Rocks.
• 7:32
  >> Okay, hold on, let me imagine.
• 7:33
  >> That's insane.
• 7:34
  >> Yeah, yeah, it seems pretty nice.
• 7:35
  >> I can't even I can't I I
• 7:38
  I mean, it would be kind of like that
• 7:39
  the one you went to that's got the arch
• 7:41
  that connects the two towers Atlantis?
• 7:44
  No, the Atlantis one.
• 7:45
  It'd be like that but even on steroids.
• 7:47
  >> Yeah, well that was built 30 years ago
• 7:49
  now whatever.
• 7:50
  I uh I got got proposed
• 7:53
  engaged I got engaged.
• 7:54
  >> You got proposed to there?
• 7:56
  Oh, you got engaged there okay.
• 7:57
  >> At that at that place so.
• 7:59
  Anyway, the Wynn 5.8 billion dollar
• 8:01
  Middle East resort opens next year.
• 8:02
  >> Maybe uh when they open that they'll fly
• 8:04
  us out there to
• 8:05
  >> That's what I was just saying maybe
• 8:06
  they'd be interested in having us
• 8:07
  >> That would be awesome.
• 8:08
  >> If anybody from the Wynn's listening
• 8:09
  >> Yeah.
• 8:10
  >> Yeah, Steve you got my number?
• 8:11
  >> You know Steve
• 8:12
  >> Give us a call. Yeah,
• 8:14
  uh Hard Rock guitar
• 8:16
  It's getting there guys.
• 8:17
  >> It is it looks pretty gold.
• 8:18
  >> from the Rio parking garage or not every
• 8:19
  day but every day around at the Rio
• 8:21
  parking garage.
• 8:22
  And uh it's starting to get its
• 8:25
  its frets and strings.
• 8:26
  >> It looks really cool.
• 8:27
  >> You're going to be able to play it soon
• 8:29
  and it's starting to really take shape
• 8:30
  with the glasses going in you can see
• 8:32
  the blue glass and the Mirage old Mirage
• 8:35
  tower all the gold gold glass has been
• 8:36
  stripped away.
• 8:37
  >> Right.
• 8:37
  >> This thing's on track still for a late
• 8:39
  2027 opening.
• 8:41
  >> I'm surprised that this says it's
• 8:42
  roughly 4 billion.
• 8:45
  4 billion.
• 8:45
  >> Right. And it cost
• 8:47
  >> What was it?
• 8:49
  The teardown of the other stuff and all
• 8:50
  that maybe that
• 8:51
  >> Yeah, so the total
• 8:52
  >> double.
• 8:53
  >> Yeah, the total cost
• 8:53
  >> Cuz it seems like they could have got
• 8:54
  that done for cheaper than 4 billion if
• 8:57
  uh
• 8:57
  this one over in
• 8:59
  in
• 9:00
  >> Dubai?
• 9:00
  >> Dubai or yeah UAE or whatever is uh I
• 9:03
  don't know what Macau what does this uh
• 9:05
  >> What does it say here? UAE
• 9:07
  >> It's actually Arab yeah.
• 9:08
  >> UAE United Arab Emirates.
• 9:10
  >> Right so if it's
• 9:12
  5.8 I would think that it would be
• 9:15
  so much more incredible than the Hard
• 9:17
  Rock's guitar.
• 9:18
  >> Now where do you where do you think is
• 9:20
  warmer?
• 9:22
  Here right now or Dubai? Or is it
• 9:24
  >> Cuz like
• 9:25
  >> I don't know we'd have to look that up.
• 9:26
  >> impressive man it's 115° here in Vegas.
• 9:29
  >> Yeah.
• 9:29
  >> My feet were like the shoes the soles of
• 9:32
  my feet were like melting.
• 9:33
  >> Sticking to the
• 9:33
  >> I think I got a heatstroke on the car on
• 9:35
  the way over there.
• 9:35
  >> To the asphalt?
• 9:36
  >> It is it is warm.
• 9:38
  It is no joke. Even for someone who
• 9:39
  likes the warm, it's
• 9:40
  >> Right.
• 9:41
  >> It's warm, but I still rather be this
• 9:42
  high
• 9:44
  than 30° cold.
• 9:45
  >> Yeah.
• 9:45
  >> So, that's just the bottom line. I'm I'm
• 9:46
  much happier with this.
• 9:47
  >> Air conditioner can't even keep up in
• 9:49
  the car.
• 9:49
  >> So, the uh the word on the street, this
• 9:51
  is not [clears throat]
• 9:53
  100% confirmed as much as it it was
• 9:55
  reported that they're starting to
• 9:58
  predict or
• 9:59
  book some of the entertainment
• 10:02
  venues and and things that are going to
• 10:03
  be at Hard Rock. And supposedly there's
• 10:06
  going to be like this virtual Elton John
• 10:07
  show there.
• 10:08
  >> Like the Michael Jackson thing?
• 10:10
  >> Yeah, the whole the whole thing would be
• 10:11
  like that.
• 10:12
  >> He won't be there.
• 10:13
  It'll just be
• 10:14
  >> I don't think so. He's already done his
• 10:15
  Vegas thing. He's
• 10:16
  >> Okay.
• 10:16
  >> the red piano like something
• 10:17
  >> if he'd be there for like the opening
• 10:19
  night or something.
• 10:20
  >> That would be cool.
• 10:21
  >> and Ringo were at the the opening of
• 10:23
  love that
• 10:24
  >> Right. That would be really cool.
• 10:26
  >> Yeah.
• 10:27
  >> So,
• 10:29
  will they pay big bucks for a virtual
• 10:31
  headliner? Remains to be seen. I want to
• 10:33
  go see it. I'm already interested.
• 10:34
  >> Right.
• 10:34
  >> I think that's going to be at this
• 10:35
  place. I want to go check it out. It's
• 10:36
  going to be the new hot new thing.
• 10:39
  >> Well, the Michael Jackson thing was
• 10:40
  pretty amazing to see it at [music]
• 10:41
  least once, so maybe we can
• 10:43
  >> at the very end of the show. It's uh you
• 10:45
  should go see it. It's it's at Mandalay
• 10:46

• 11:29
  Just remodel.
• 11:29
  >> Just remodel, which they just re-
• 11:31
  They're just reallocating funds. That's
• 11:34
  how you get around a bunch of taxes in
• 11:36
  this city. You just keep on building
• 11:38
  onto your property and then write off
• 11:40
  all that money. That's It happens every
• 11:42
  day, every month, every week, every
• 11:44
  year, every Yeah, that's how they do it.
• 11:46
  >> I'm actually curious to see what they're
• 11:48
  going to do with the place.
• 11:49
  I probably will go
• 11:51
  >> Check it out.
• 11:52
  >> Just to see if when it opens, cuz
• 11:54
  you look at what they did with
• 11:55
  Oh man, the the one over at Caesars.
• 11:58
  >> I think uh
• 11:58
  >> Ohmia?
• 11:59
  >> Yeah.
• 11:59
  >> Ohmia. Like the holy crap, dude. If it's
• 12:01
  going to be this
• 12:02
  Guys, even if you're like our age and
• 12:05
  you don't go to these things anymore,
• 12:06

• 12:09
  when you're going to do do the Go over

• 12:13
  ceiling comes out and you know,

  >> Long as you have a booth to sit in or a
• 12:30
  table, bottle service, I don't care.
• 12:33
  I'll go.
• 12:33
  >> We had He got all that. He had that.
• 12:35
  >> Yeah, I would go.
• 12:35
  >> I had the best ear plugs that you can
• 12:38
  get.
• 12:39
  >> Right. And you still believe you're
• 12:40
  there.
• 12:41
  >> I cannot believe how loud it was. I
• 12:43
  don't understand what
• 12:45
  I can understand I love loud music and I
• 12:47
  can understand like
• 12:48
  having loud music, but this is on a
• 12:50
  level I mean, it was it was ridiculous.
• 12:52
  Like you can't communicate with anybody
• 12:54
  like
• 12:54
  >> No, that's the part I don't like.
• 12:56
  I don't like that part.
• 12:57
  >> My throat was like done by the end of my
• 12:58
  my my ears rang for 2 days afterwards.
• 13:00
  >> Right.
• 13:02
  >> I don't get it. It's a great place.
• 13:03
  >> time of your life.
• 13:04
  >> No, I didn't. I had a good time. I
• 13:06
  actually did have a good time. I had to
• 13:07
  be a assistant. Only about I needed some
• 13:10
  assistance till I get to a point where I
• 13:12
  could have a good time in that
• 13:13
  environment, but but I did.
• 13:15
  >> Right.
• 13:16
  >> And uh yeah. Anyway, so
• 13:19
  the most interesting story of the week,
• 13:21
  at least for me, yeah.
• 13:21
  >> Okay.
• 13:22
  >> I
• 13:22
  >> You had no idea.
• 13:23
  >> I didn't know.
• 13:24
  >> I had no idea, either.
• 13:25
  >> So, Circa is adding two more floors of
• 13:27
  hotel rooms, 49 rooms.
• 13:29
  >> what what are on those floors?
• 13:31
  >> Oh, well, that's what I asked. Cuz I'm
• 13:32
  like
• 13:33
  I I
• 13:34
  What do you mean you're adding two more?
• 13:35
  Are they building? Are they going to add
• 13:37
  two more? Are they adding scaffolding to
• 13:38
  the top of it and they're going to build
• 13:39
  two more floors? No.
• 13:40
  >> Here's the thing that's interesting.
• 13:42
  When they built the Circa, the top six
• 13:43
  floors were just a shell.
• 13:45
  >> Okay.
• 13:46
  >> So, from the outside it looked like this
• 13:48
  >> Like it was
• 13:48
  >> 20-story building or whatever.
• 13:50
  >> Whatever, yeah. Yeah.
• 13:50
  >> But the top
• 13:52
  six floors were not being utilized at
• 13:53
  all. They were just
• 13:54
  >> So, they're taking They're adding two
• 13:56
  more.
• 13:57
  >> So, they're And then in a couple years
• 13:58
  they'll add another
• 13:58
  >> Well, no, in 2024 they did four of the
• 14:00
  floors.
• 14:01
  >> Oh, they did already? Okay.
• 14:02
  >> then now they're doing the last two
• 14:04
  floors. So, they're going to finish it.
• 14:05
  It's 49 more rooms, which doesn't seem
• 14:07
  like a lot of rooms.
• 14:08
  >> No, but
• 14:08
  >> It's 25 rooms each of four.
• 14:10
  >> Right.
• 14:11
  >> Like one floor has more one more
• 14:12
  >> But if you're selling them out or if
• 14:13
  they're suites and they're a couple
• 14:14
  hundred a night
• 14:15
  >> I think these are going to be nice
• 14:16
  >> Yeah.
• 14:16
  >> nice rooms.
• 14:17
  >> That would be nice.
• 14:18
  >> I find this to be staggeringly
• 14:21
  interesting.
• 14:21
  >> Right.
• 14:22
  >> I don't know. Like how many more hotels
• 14:24
  have like
• 14:25
  >> Like just floors that aren't done.
• 14:27
  >> half the Wynn or Encore.
• 14:29
  >> Right. It's interesting.
• 14:30
  >> Just empty? Like it just just steel and
• 14:33
  >> Right. I I find it very interesting
• 14:35
  myself.
• 14:35
  >> And it says it's a a shell. I'm assuming
• 14:37
  they had like poured the concrete for
• 14:38
  the floor.
• 14:38
  >> Well, they had to. And the building is
• 14:40
  there.
• 14:40
  >> Otherwise the whole thing would have
• 14:41
  fallen down. So
• 14:41
  >> Yeah.
• 14:43
  >> Yeah, I don't know. I mean, like it just
• 14:44
  seems interesting. So, it's like a
• 14:45
  >> a a shell of a floor.
• 14:46
  >> It's like it's a hedge. It's like, okay,
• 14:47
  well, is this going to Is this going to
• 14:48
  do well as well as well as we think?
• 14:50
  Okay.
• 14:50
  >> spend all the money on the on the
• 14:52
  mattresses and TVs? Or should we wait a
• 14:54
  few years and see if we make money?
• 14:56
  >> You're right.
• 14:57
  >> Okay.
• 14:57
  >> I thought that it's interesting. So,
• 14:59
  anyway, that's that's happening.
• 15:00
  >> Right.
• 15:00
  >> And those are supposed to open next
• 15:02
  year.
• 15:02
  Uh Sam's Town is debuting a new bar and
• 15:04

  >> I'm wondering how bad if it's a flood or
• 15:51
  if it's just
• 15:52
  >> Drip system. I don't know.
• 15:53
  >> It sounds like it's probably blowing
• 15:54
  out.
• 15:54
  >> Not looking forward to it. So.
• 15:56
  >> Ryan has to go home and do grown-up
• 15:57
  things now. But here's one of the story
• 15:59
  left. You want to talk about this last
• 16:00
  thing?
• 16:01
  >> One of my favorite shows that I've ever
• 16:02
  seen in this town for
• 16:04
  for minimal crowd. Like going to the
• 16:07
  Sphere obviously is my favorite thing to
• 16:08
  to do here.
• 16:09
  >> I love the show. I just saw it again
• 16:11
  recently. Uh my one of my old e-commerce
• 16:14
  groups uh invited me and my wife to go
• 16:16
  >> Right.
• 16:17
  >> see Absinthe and then go to the
• 16:18
  Bacchanal Buffet.
• 16:19
  >> And it's not going away. They're just
• 16:20
  rebuilding the tent.
• 16:22
  >> another like heartbreak moment for just
• 16:23
  a second when I saw it was going dark.
• 16:26
  >> For a couple weeks.
• 16:26
  >> Just a couple weeks. It's not that long.
• 16:28
  And so now I got to go see it again
• 16:30
  because they're going to remodel the
• 16:31
  whole
• 16:32
  tent and redo the show.
• 16:34
  >> That sounds like it's going to be
• 16:35
  awesome because I love the show.
• 16:36
  >> last time that we went
• 16:38
  they had put in this new act.
• 16:40
  >> Okay.
• 16:40
  >> If you could think about like
• 16:43
  uh
• 16:43
  a stick, a pogo stick that you could
• 16:46
  like
• 16:47
  >> Like a piece of bamboo.
• 16:48
  >> back and forth like this.
• 16:49
  >> Right.
• 16:49
  >> The human being was on the top of this
• 16:51
  thing.
• 16:51
  >> And it was a and they would come down
• 16:53
  and go
• 16:54
  >> All the way to the crowd.
• 16:55
  >> They were coming down like touching the
• 16:56
  like they would reach down and like
• 16:57
  touch the top of people's heads.
• 16:58
  >> Right.
• 16:59
  >> They were so close. And
• 17:00
  What a wild effect. [laughter] I can't
• 17:02
  explain it. I mean it was the most
• 17:03
  >> It's a very intimate
• 17:04
  >> Oh man, it was so freaking
• 17:06
  >> 200 seats maybe in that whole place?
• 17:08
  250?
• 17:10
  >> It's probably
• 17:11
  like 500.
• 17:11
  >> It's not a lot.
• 17:12
  >> It's probably I would I would say
• 17:14
  >> Maybe maybe 500? Maybe?
• 17:16
  >> Okay.
• 17:17
  >> You think up like a in
• 17:19
  you know, 50 per section and it's
• 17:20
  there's got to be 10 sections. I mean,
• 17:21
  it
• 17:22
  it's not big, but it's probably more
• 17:23
  than 200.
• 17:24
  >> We'll find out. We'll throw that number
• 17:26
  up on the screen.
• 17:26
  >> be that. Yeah, well, you will figure
• 17:27
  that out. So, anyway, it's just a
• 17:29
  refresh, guys. I would highly recommend
• 17:31
  if you haven't seen this show, I put
• 17:32
  this in the top three things to do in
• 17:34
  Las Vegas, personally.
• 17:35
  >> not be sensitive [music]
• 17:36
  to curse words.
• 17:37
  >> if you've got a curse word problem
• 17:39
  >> you don't like cursing, don't go.
• 17:41
  >> Sexual Indian
• 17:42
  >> Right. Indian those?
• 17:43
  >> Indian window.
• 17:44
  >> Yeah, you don't want that.
• 17:45
  >> That was almost a tongue twister. No pun
• 17:47
  intended.
• 17:47
  >> If you don't like that kind of stuff,
• 17:50
  stick to a different show.
• 17:51
  >> There's this this girl that comes up
• 17:53
  there that does this stick that's so
• 17:56
  good.
• 17:56
  >> Yeah.
• 17:57
  But uh you have to be able to handle
• 17:59
  that.
• 17:59
  >> She's kind of like does this Ellen
• 18:01
  DeGeneres thing a little bit cuz Ellen
• 18:02
  kind of
• 18:03
  >> [music]
• 18:03
  >> does this stuttering thing where
• 18:06
  >> Okay.
• 18:07
  >> She kind of you know, and she kind of
• 18:08
  you know, Ellen, you know, just in
• 18:09
  Ellen's show like I mean, I don't really
• 18:10
  watch a lot of Ellen or anything, but
• 18:12
  >> Right.
• 18:12
  >> it's always been So, this girl
• 18:14
  uh Absinthe does a similar kind of
• 18:16
  thing. She just keeps on going back to
• 18:18
  the same thing.
• 18:19
  >> Right.
• 18:19
  >> But with this kind of not a stutter, but
• 18:22
  it it's really good.
• 18:23
  And she just goes on and on and
• 18:25
  >> explanation of how it happens, but okay.
• 18:27
  >> I do my best to do the worst explanation
• 18:30
  possible.
• 18:31
  >> That was really bad.
• 18:32
  >> If I give the whole thing away, what
• 18:33
  will people out there
• 18:34
  and DJ Nation do?
• 18:36
  >> do not
• 18:36
  >> they're like, "What the heck is he
• 18:37
  talking about? We got to go see how bad
• 18:40
  that was."
• 18:41
  And and they'll know soon because of our
• 18:43
  recommendations.
• 18:44
  >> True.
• 18:44
  >> And this show was not sponsored by
• 18:46
  Absinthe.
• 18:46
  >> maybe Absinthe will actually send us
• 18:48
  some tickets.
• 18:48
  >> Maybe. One can dream. That's about it,
• 18:51
  folks. Hey, it was actually a pretty
• 18:53
  strong one.
• 18:54
  >> Yes.
• 18:54
  >> Whatever news we got, a lot of
• 18:55
  interesting stuff.
• 18:56
  >> Yeah.
• 18:57
  >> And and if you didn't watch this show,
• 18:58
  where else would you get your Las Vegas
• 19:00
  news?
• 19:00
  >> That's right.
• 19:02
  Well,
• 19:03
  stay lucky.
