2:14
Sean McAllister: And uh Dana, we have gotten quite a bit of time in on the golf course lately.
2:18
Dayna Roselli: I know.
2:18
Dayna Roselli: We had several shoots this week, and they all revolved around golf courses.
2:23
Dayna Roselli: Uh, which I was like, I need to be golfer, because you know, it's beautiful.
2:28
Dayna Roselli: Uh there's decent looking people out there, it's good exercise.
2:33
Dayna Roselli: You get to roll around in the cart.
2:35
Dayna Roselli: I mean, it was fun.
2:36
Sean McAllister: And drink, drink food.
2:39
Sean McAllister: The whole the whole golf thing.
2:40
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, we were down at Southern Highlands Golf Course, gorgeous course, loved that.
2:45
Dayna Roselli: And then you were over at the Win Golf Course shooting a segment for an upcoming episode of Vegas on.
2:51
Sean McAllister: And let me tell you, they have seen an uptick in business that is insane over at the Wyn Golf Club.
3:00
Sean McAllister: And I mean, people are coming to Vegas, they're gambling, they are going to shows, they're going to restaurants, they're shopping, and apparently they're golfing while they're here too.
3:12
Dayna Roselli: Oh my goodness.
3:13
Dayna Roselli: It's crazy how quick we have bounced back.
3:16
Dayna Roselli: I mean, it's better than ever when it comes to the amount of things to do in Las Vegas.
3:21
Dayna Roselli: And speaking of that, we had one resort casino that basically never reopened after it shut down during the pandemic.
3:30
Dayna Roselli: And I'm talking about the Palms.
3:31
Dayna Roselli: You've heard us talk about it many times, and we told you like ghost bars reopening and stuff like that, but we didn't have a date.
3:36
Dayna Roselli: But now we have a date, Sean.
3:38
Sean McAllister: We do.
3:38
Sean McAllister: April 27th.
3:40
Sean McAllister: It is go time over at the Palms.
3:42
Sean McAllister: I cannot wait for the grand reopening of this iconic property.
3:48
Sean McAllister: I know that we've each had uh respectively many nights over at the Palms.
3:55
Sean McAllister: We've talked about that here on Vegas Revealed before, but uh I mean it's so exciting to have the Palms coming back.
4:04
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and you know, it's like a legendary resort, right?
4:07
Dayna Roselli: And a lot of people say that because, like you were saying, we've had so many stories, they always involve celebrities.
4:12
Dayna Roselli: There's been a lot of like celebrity stories that have come out of the Palms, and so many people know it.
4:16
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and it's gonna be great.
4:18
Dayna Roselli: Um, they are starting to take reservations on April 28th.
4:21
Dayna Roselli: You go to Palms.com to make a reservation, look around, get more information.
4:27
Dayna Roselli: So, but it's opening the 27th, so I don't know, I have a feeling maybe there'll be a party or something, and then they want to start taking the room reservations the following night.
4:36
Dayna Roselli: Um, great thing is, and we've also talked about this, is that it had just basically undergone a$600 million renovation before it shut down, about a year or so before, maybe two years before it had shut down.
4:49
Sean McAllister: 2019, I think, is when that renovation was completed.
4:53
Sean McAllister: And uh now there are new owners.
4:56
Sean McAllister: San Manuel Gaming has come in, taken over the Palms, uh, bringing a new spirit, but also, you know, keeping alive all the things that we're nostalgic about over at the Palms.
5:08
Sean McAllister: And we'll be doing a deep dive into everything new over there: interviews, our first hand accounts.
5:14
Sean McAllister: That's coming up in uh a couple weeks here on Vegas Revealed.
5:18
Sean McAllister: So we just wanted to let you know that the Palms is reopening April 27th.
5:24
Sean McAllister: It's go time.
5:25
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it is exciting, and a bunch of the restaurants you love coming back to, so and then some new things.
5:30
Dayna Roselli: Hey, moving on from that, we talked about Silksonic in episode 111 of Vegas Revealed.
5:36
Dayna Roselli: We went in depth because we really loved the show.
5:38
Dayna Roselli: We did.
5:39
Dayna Roselli: And we also had to kind of explain and brief our listeners on who and what Silksonic is.
5:47
Sean McAllister: Well, if you didn't know who Silksonic is or what Silksonic is, if you were watching the Grammys here uh broadcasting live from Las Vegas, then now you definitely know who Silksonic is.
6:00
Dayna Roselli: Oh my goodness.
6:01
Dayna Roselli: A clean sweep for them.
6:03
Dayna Roselli: They were nominated for four Grammys and they won them all.
6:07
Dayna Roselli: Incredible, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year for Leave the Door Open.
6:12
Dayna Roselli: Quick synopsis.
6:14
Dayna Roselli: You definitely know who they are now, but it's Bruno Mars and Anderson Pac, and they are Silksonic.
6:19
Dayna Roselli: And then they've got a whole big backing and band and that kind of thing.
6:22
Dayna Roselli: But Leave the Door Open is their probably most popular song in the album.
6:26
Dayna Roselli: They do a show at Park MGM.
6:28
Dayna Roselli: Sean and I loved it.
6:29
Dayna Roselli: We loved the music, we loved the performance.
6:31
Dayna Roselli: Go back and listen to episode 111, but that was great.
6:35
Dayna Roselli: And they were so much fun when they kept receiving the rewards, even the way they went up on stage.
6:39
Dayna Roselli: I mean, they made themselves so memorable.
6:42
Dayna Roselli: And like you said, if you didn't know who they were before, you know who they are now.
6:45
Sean McAllister: You certainly do.
6:46
Sean McAllister: Uh another band that you most definitely know is BTS.
6:52
Sean McAllister: This is the Korean boy band uh that has really turned Las Vegas purple.
6:58
Sean McAllister: Purple is the color of uh the BTS army, and for two consecutive weekends starting now, BTS is playing Las Vegas.
7:10
Sean McAllister: And man, talk about taking over town and making your presence known.
7:15
Sean McAllister: That BTS army, it's here.
7:18
Dayna Roselli: It is, and they are uh blowing up Twitter.
7:21
Dayna Roselli: I see them all chit-chatting about everything.
7:24
Dayna Roselli: I mean, so they're here, yeah, the 8th and 9th, 15th, 16th.
7:26
Dayna Roselli: They got shows at Allegiant Stadium, and I think they're doing something like a telecast live at uh MGM Gram, too.
7:33
Dayna Roselli: So it's a big, big deal.
7:34
Dayna Roselli: Uh something that came out actually the day after the Grammy, so Monday, a statement from Allegiant Stadium saying basically, I guess when folks had at first bought their tickets, they had to let them know that, you know, you're gonna need either a COVID test or have a vaccination card to get into Allegiant Stadium.
7:55
Dayna Roselli: You know, they had to put that on the rules when you buy the tickets.
7:58
Dayna Roselli: Then they came out Monday saying, okay, we're not gonna go with that.
8:01
Dayna Roselli: The reason that we put that in there is because we weren't sure if things were gonna change, we wanted to be prepared.
8:06
Dayna Roselli: So now they're saying you don't need a COVID test, you don't need a vaccination card, but you have to wear a mask over your mouth and nose at all times once you enter the stadium, unless you are actively eating and drinking.
8:21
Dayna Roselli: And that really threw everyone for a loop.
8:23
Dayna Roselli: And the BTS army is chiming in all over Twitter.
8:27
Sean McAllister: They are, and I actually I was following this whole thread of uh one of the BTS fans that came to Las Vegas for the show, um and and she was actually kind of appalled at the fact that everybody in Las Vegas wasn't wearing a mask.
8:47
Sean McAllister: Right.
8:47
Sean McAllister: So she was all for the mask wearing and everything, but she was like, My gosh, Las Vegas is packed to the gills, and you know, not everybody's wearing a mask, and what's going on here?
8:58
Sean McAllister: Well, it's because you don't have to wear a mask.
9:00
Sean McAllister: That is your choice to wear a mask here, and if you want to, more power to you.
9:05
Sean McAllister: And I won't you don't have to now.
9:07
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and I wonder if where she's from they they still do wear masks, and maybe she just didn't know.
9:13
Sean McAllister: I have a feeling it was an LA person.
9:15
Dayna Roselli: Oh, okay, interesting, huh?
9:17
Sean McAllister: But even in LA, yeah, masks have you know restrictions have eased up.
9:21
Sean McAllister: So I don't know.
9:22
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I mean, you need to know the environment you're going into.
9:24
Dayna Roselli: If you don't love that people aren't wearing masks, you have to know you're going to an area that does not require masks.
9:29
Dayna Roselli: So, I mean, anyway, now at Allegiance Stadium, they're requiring the masks, and apparently they're saying, you know, it's the event organizer that has come that is putting out this, you know, new rule for these shows.
9:41
Dayna Roselli: So I think, you know, people were saying, yeah, once everyone walks in and once they get a snack or a drink, the masks are gonna come off.
9:48
Dayna Roselli: Maybe they will, maybe they won't.
9:50
Dayna Roselli: We have a lot of people from outside of the country here in town for these shows, too.
9:53
Dayna Roselli: So we'll see.
9:54
Dayna Roselli: That's the rule.
9:55
Dayna Roselli: That's they put it, that's what they put out, and uh, I'm sure the show will be fabulous regardless.
10:01
Dayna Roselli: It's just, again, not something we're used to anymore because we've had the luxury of not having to wear them.
10:05
Sean McAllister: Right.
10:06
Sean McAllister: So BTS performing here in Las Vegas at Allegiance Stadium uh this weekend, the 8th and 9th, and then again next weekend, April 15th and 16th.
10:16
Sean McAllister: By the way, Dana, uh Backstreet Boys also performing those same nights over at Caesars Palace.
10:23
Dayna Roselli: And I'll be there on the 9th.
10:24
Dayna Roselli: I can't wait.
10:25
Sean McAllister: I'm so bummed that I have to miss it.
10:27
Sean McAllister: I'm going out of town.
10:29
Dayna Roselli: But Backstreet's back.
10:31
Dayna Roselli: I know, I know.
10:32
Sean McAllister: I know.
10:32
Sean McAllister: And I have to believe that there is going to be some sort of announcement during at least one of these Las Vegas shows that they intend to be back for a residency once they wrap up their tour.
10:44
Sean McAllister: I just have a feeling.
10:45
Sean McAllister: I hope so.
10:46
Dayna Roselli: W I loved their show at Zappos Theater.
10:48
Dayna Roselli: I'm so excited they're gonna be performing in the Coliseum, and I'm excited to see what they do.
10:53
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
10:54
Dayna Roselli: It's just it's a it's gonna be a great show.
10:56
Dayna Roselli: I I'm excited.
10:58
Dayna Roselli: I might even sleep in that day.
10:59
Dayna Roselli: I can tell you're excited.
11:00
Sean McAllister: You're like giddy, you're getting giddy over there.
11:02
Dayna Roselli: I love it.
11:03
Dayna Roselli: And it's funny because I wasn't a Backstreet fan back in the day.
11:05
Dayna Roselli: I was new kids on the block the whole way.
11:07
Dayna Roselli: You don't care around it, kind of everyone had their like you either really like diehard new kids or diehard Backstreet.
11:12
Dayna Roselli: There was a little slight difference in age.
11:15
Dayna Roselli: Right.
11:15
Dayna Roselli: And I think I was more like the new kids generation.
11:18
Dayna Roselli: So when I saw Backstreet, of course I liked their music and I knew their songs and stuff, but when I went to Zappos Theater, I don't know what they sold me.
11:25
Dayna Roselli: I was like, I forgot how many hits they had.
11:27
Dayna Roselli: I love them as a group, and I love dance numbers.
11:30
Dayna Roselli: So the when boy bands dance to choreography, it makes me happy.
11:35
Dayna Roselli: So I'm excited to see what they do at the Coliseum.
11:38
Sean McAllister: I didn't know that.
11:38
Sean McAllister: So were you a California Raisins fan too?
11:41
Sean McAllister: Did you like when they all did the what's oh California Raisins?
11:43
Dayna Roselli: Oh, the the Raisins?
11:44
Sean McAllister: Yeah, the Raisins.
11:45
Dayna Roselli: Oh, you mean um when they do the um Heard it through the Right.
11:49
Sean McAllister: Yeah, heard it through the Great Fun.
11:50
Dayna Roselli: I like that, yes.
11:52
Dayna Roselli: I do.
11:52
Dayna Roselli: I love Big Dance.
11:53
Dayna Roselli: That's why I love MJ1.
11:55
Dayna Roselli: I love that show, the Cinco Fillet show.
11:57
Dayna Roselli: Because it's like huge dance numbers to great songs that you know.
12:01
Dayna Roselli: So I love and then Gwen Stefani.
12:03
Dayna Roselli: I love when there's like a big and Janet Jackson.
12:05
Dayna Roselli: I love all those kinds of shows that include like big dance numbers.
12:08
Dayna Roselli: They are they're my favorite.
12:09
Sean McAllister: And it is impressive, too, to see uh any number of people, you know, dancing in in sync.
12:16
Dayna Roselli: Not to bring in another boy band, but in sync, not really, they won't be there.
12:22
Sean McAllister: So we talked about having the Grammys here in Las Vegas.
12:25
Sean McAllister: We also recently had the Academy of Country Music Awards.
12:29
Sean McAllister: The ACMs were held over at uh T-Mobile Arena, and Miranda Lambert was named Entertainer of the Year.
12:39
Sean McAllister: And on the heels of that announcement, we have just learned, Dana, that Miranda Lambert now has her own Las Vegas residency.
12:48
Dayna Roselli: I know.
12:48
Dayna Roselli: Excited for her.
12:49
Dayna Roselli: She seems really thrilled to do this.
12:51
Dayna Roselli: This will be her first residency show.
12:53
Dayna Roselli: We're having a lot of first timers come to Las Vegas.
12:56
Dayna Roselli: I love that.
12:56
Sean McAllister: Well, and I tell you, I was talking about this at home the other night.
13:00
Sean McAllister: The the caliber of performance, like the entire perception of Las Vegas entertainment, is it has got to be changing now.
13:08
Sean McAllister: Because even when Celine Dion was, you know, launching at the height of her residency over at Caesars Palace, people still had the perception, like, oh, that's where like older entertainers go, like people on the way out, you know, go to Vegas and then they retire.
13:28
Sean McAllister: Well, any perception of that should be completely wiped out right now if you look at the current roster of entertainers.
13:37
Sean McAllister: I mean, really, Britney Spears uh should be credited with kind of the beginning of that entire shift.
13:44
Sean McAllister: But having Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, Katy Perry, Miranda Lambert, John Legend, I mean, uh the list goes on.
13:53
Dayna Roselli: I know.
13:53
Dayna Roselli: It it yeah, it does.
13:55
Dayna Roselli: And and it's exciting because I think all eyes are on Las Vegas always.
14:00
Dayna Roselli: We're such a town where everyone talks about and they want to come to where they do visit, but like even more so, it's almost like just incredible, I'm just gonna be honest, PR for our city.
14:11
Dayna Roselli: It is.
14:12
Dayna Roselli: I mean, because now we're getting all genres, you know, country music and you know, the gaga fans, and you know, we have some of the best comedians coming into town.
14:21
Dayna Roselli: I mean, it's just it's hitting everything.
14:23
Dayna Roselli: BTS, Backstreet Boys, you know, I mean, old, new.
14:26
Dayna Roselli: I mean, we got it all.
14:28
Sean McAllister: Well, and speaking of country, I have long suggested to uh executives down on the Las Vegas Strip that there should be a a country residency, like the grand old Opry of the West.
14:41
Sean McAllister: Right.
14:41
Sean McAllister: And have a rotating roster of the biggest name country acts as part of that residency.
14:48
Sean McAllister: So you can go see the residency, but it'll just be rotating roster of stars.
14:52
Dayna Roselli: Well, it seems like that entire concept is not happening, but I mean we're putting it out there for copyright for copyright purposes.
15:03
Dayna Roselli: And licensing if it ever happens, right?
15:05
Sean McAllister: Back to the point, though.
15:06
Sean McAllister: Miranda's got a show.
15:07
Dayna Roselli: I know, I know.
15:08
Dayna Roselli: Okay, it's called Miranda Lambert Velvet Rodeo, the Las Vegas Residency.
15:11
Dayna Roselli: It's gonna be at Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood.
15:14
Dayna Roselli: It kicks off Friday, September 23rd, and she's doing a run of 24 shows to start.
15:20
Dayna Roselli: Um, she did recently speak about how this is gonna go down and how this is her first time doing a residency type show.
15:29
Dayna Roselli: Let's hear from Miranda.
15:31
SPEAKER_00: This will definitely be a one-of-a-kind Miranda Labour experience.
15:36
SPEAKER_00: That's the point of Vegas.
15:38
SPEAKER_00: It'll be so different, and I think that's gonna be like a a new energy for me.
15:42
SPEAKER_00: I think it's gonna hopefully breathe new life into my process, you know, because it's Vegas.
15:47
SPEAKER_00: You need to bring your A-game, Sin City.
15:49
SPEAKER_00: There's everything you ever wanted there, and a lot of it.
15:52
SPEAKER_00: And I want to be one of those things people want.
15:54
SPEAKER_00: I want to be one of the things on their list.
15:57
Sean McAllister: I mean, I'm excited, Dana.
15:59
Sean McAllister: Being the entertainer of the year, you know Miranda's gonna put on a big show.
16:04
Sean McAllister: She's had her own uh successful solo country career.
16:08
Sean McAllister: She's also been in the group Pistol Annies, and they've had some chart-topping music.
16:14
Sean McAllister: So potentially, you know, some of her country friends could be sprinkled into some of these performances too.
16:20
Sean McAllister: Who knows?
16:21
Sean McAllister: I think she's just gonna put on one heck of a show.
16:24
Dayna Roselli: You know, and for me, I do not follow Miranda Lambert, but I didn't really follow Luke Bryan either, and I absolutely loved his show, and now I'm a fan.
16:31
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
16:31
Dayna Roselli: So I'm hoping that's what this will, you know, this will happen to me too.
16:35
Dayna Roselli: I know people love her, and I know under like where we posted even on Instagram and stuff, people were like, I can't wait, I'm there, you know, and super excited for Miranda to hit the stage, and like you said, she's entertainer of the year.
16:46
Dayna Roselli: I look forward to seeing this show and more of her, and and maybe becoming a fan as well.
16:52
Dayna Roselli: It's just not uh someone that I follow.
16:54
Dayna Roselli: But country music is becoming, I for I feel like for me, I'm I'm really taking to it because we we've actually just went to a fundraiser where there were two country acts.
17:02
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
17:02
Dayna Roselli: Uh what is it, Jake Owen and Midland.
17:05
Dayna Roselli: And I loved it.
17:06
Dayna Roselli: It was great.
17:07
Sean McAllister: Country music, it really is good.
17:09
Dayna Roselli: It is, and uh, and it's huge here too.
17:12
Dayna Roselli: Whenever we have concerts or festivals, people turn out in droves.
17:15
Dayna Roselli: So it Miranda definitely serves a purpose.
17:18
Dayna Roselli: Shania is is gone now, right?
17:21
Dayna Roselli: She's her residency is over.
17:22
Sean McAllister: Yep, she wrapped up.
17:23
Dayna Roselli: So, you know, Miranda will now hit the stage.
17:26
Dayna Roselli: Um, and then, you know, should we gossip a little about what we saw on Instagram?
17:31
Sean McAllister: Let's do it.
17:33
Dayna Roselli: We are, you know, we like a little gossip.
17:35
Dayna Roselli: Gwen Stefani, I swear, I was sitting next to you.
17:38
Dayna Roselli: She posted some clips.
17:39
Sean McAllister: Just a couple days ago.
17:40
Sean McAllister: We talked about it.
17:41
Dayna Roselli: She posted from her residency and like some clips of just a girl.
17:44
Dayna Roselli: Now, Gwen show one of my absolute favorites.
17:46
Dayna Roselli: We've talked about that a million times.
17:47
Dayna Roselli: And I was like, Oh, look, maybe Gwen will come back.
17:50
Dayna Roselli: Then we were like looking at the Miranda stuff, and I was like, oh, wait, and Miranda used to be married to Blake Shelton, right?
17:56
Dayna Roselli: And you were like, Yeah.
17:57
Dayna Roselli: And I was like, oh, and she's playing Zappos Theater the same stage that Gwen did.
18:03
Dayna Roselli: Wait a minute.
18:04
Dayna Roselli: Was Gwen posting something to show I was there first?
18:09
Sean McAllister: It could be.
18:10
Dayna Roselli: So we went to look back at what she posted.
18:14
Dayna Roselli: It's been deleted.
18:15
Sean McAllister: Huh.
18:16
Dayna Roselli: Dun-da-da!
18:17
Sean McAllister: The plot thickens.
18:18
Dayna Roselli: The plot thickens.
18:20
Dayna Roselli: I don't know.
18:21
Dayna Roselli: Anyway.
18:22
Sean McAllister: You don't know the true intent of any of it, but it's fun to chat about, isn't it?
18:27
Dayna Roselli: It sure is.
18:28
unknown: It sure is.
18:29
Sean McAllister: Miranda Lambert, Velvet Rodeo, opens September 23rd over at Zappos Theater inside Planet Hollywood.
18:38
Sean McAllister: Looking forward to that one.
18:39
Sean McAllister: But Dana Chris Angel also just opened a new show, also inside Planet Hollywood.
18:46
Sean McAllister: That's where he's been performing his Mind Freak live show.
18:50
Sean McAllister: But this new production is called A Mystica.
18:53
Sean McAllister: I went over there the other night for the grand opening of the show, ran into a lot of friends, DJ Ashba, former guitarist of Guns N' Roses, uh Michael Goddard, the artist who we've spoken to here on the podcast before.
19:08
Sean McAllister: Uh Carrot Top was there.
19:10
Sean McAllister: Lots of Chris Angels friends on the red carpet, a lot of Vegas performers there.
19:16
Sean McAllister: Um and Chris is excited about this new show.
19:20
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I I quickly had to take a job.
19:23
Dayna Roselli: It was a Grammy uh black carpet event, and so I couldn't go.
19:27
Dayna Roselli: So, first of all, you were there and you were able to record a little bit of their chat.
19:32
Dayna Roselli: Uh, and when I say they, it's because Chris is partnering with Franco Dragon, right?
19:37
Dayna Roselli: And he, if you don't know Franco, created Celine's first show, right?
19:42
Dayna Roselli: A New Day, is that what's the first one?
19:43
Dayna Roselli: A new day.
19:44
Sean McAllister: He's also the mind behind Cirque de Soleil's Oh and Mystere.
19:49
Sean McAllister: He also had a big hand in the launch of La Rev over at Win Las Vegas.
19:54
Sean McAllister: So he's a legendary show producer, and he partnered with uh Chris Angel on this new show.
20:03
Sean McAllister: Uh, take a listen to Chris talking to the audience about why they decided to partner and put this production together.
20:11
SPEAKER_03: Artists didn't know what to do, they were doing other jobs.
20:14
SPEAKER_03: So Franco and I talked during the COVID period, and we said we wanted to do something out of love and positivity, and we wanted to create something in world record time because Circ typically takes two to three years to do a show.
20:30
SPEAKER_03: We are doing this show tonight in less than six months.
20:35
SPEAKER_03: Okay?
20:36
SPEAKER_03: And with a tiny little budget that Tronco and I put up personally because we believe in Las Vegas and the artists that are in this community.
20:47
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
20:50
Sean McAllister: And Dana, a Mystica is kind of an autobiographical show, obviously highly dramatized and very theatrical, of Chris Angel's life.
21:01
Sean McAllister: From his where his interest in magic came from as a child, and later on to his the height of his stardom and the good and bad press that he's received.
21:11
Sean McAllister: And it's a really high quality production.
21:15
Dayna Roselli: And and I I told you I couldn't be there, but in some ways I was there, wasn't I, Sean?
21:20
Sean McAllister: Yeah, you were.
21:20
Sean McAllister: I just kept hearing your voice.
21:23
Sean McAllister: It kept happening over and over again.
21:26
Dayna Roselli: Oh boy.
21:26
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, we did some voiceover work for Chris, and we weren't sure if we're uh gonna make the show.
21:31
Dayna Roselli: And you said uh my little breaking news clips made the show.
21:33
Dayna Roselli: So I have to go.
21:34
Dayna Roselli: You were in there twice.
21:35
Dayna Roselli: In twice, wow.
21:36
Dayna Roselli: Uh yeah.
21:37
Dayna Roselli: So if you want to hear my voice in a Mystica, apparently I'm in it.
21:39
Dayna Roselli: I'm excited.
21:40
Dayna Roselli: Um love working with Chris on a lot of different projects now and then.
21:44
Dayna Roselli: And uh, whenever he needs kind of the news voice, he calls on us, which we love.
21:48
Sean McAllister: There's big fans that come out on the stage, and when you see those, listen for Dana's voice.
21:54
Dayna Roselli: Okay.
21:54
Sean McAllister: Uh Chris Angel, a Mystica, now playing over at Planet Hollywood.
21:58
Dayna Roselli: And the reason, Sean, that I wasn't there, I want to tell you About it.
22:00
Dayna Roselli: I went to an event uh circling around the Grammys.
22:03
Dayna Roselli: It was the night before the Grammys were in Vegas, and it was down at Resorts World, and they were honoring John Legend for his basically his personal and professional achievements in music.
22:15
Sean McAllister: Okay.
22:16
Dayna Roselli: It was a recording academy.
22:17
Sean McAllister: And kind of a big deal.
22:18
Dayna Roselli: It was a big deal, yeah.
22:20
Dayna Roselli: I went there to do the black carpet that they had laid out, that a lot of different people were at the event, and I worked some interviews for Vegas on.
22:28
Dayna Roselli: So if you want to see some of the highlights of that, go to visit losvegas.com or check out their YouTube.
22:35
Dayna Roselli: There's a new episode up, and all my coverage is there.
22:38
Dayna Roselli: But I wanted to talk a little bit about what I was, you know, basically finding out when I was chatting to some of these celebrities.
22:44
Dayna Roselli: Um, I talked to Jordan Sparks and I talked to Grandmaster Flash and I talked to Jimmy Jam and Jimmy Allen was there, country music artist who was nominated for Best New Artist of the Year.
22:56
Dayna Roselli: He was super excited.
22:57
Sean McAllister: At the Grammys.
22:58
Dayna Roselli: At the Grammys, yeah.
22:59
Dayna Roselli: So he was there at this event as well, and he was saying, you know, first of all, he was blown away, even just A, to be there in Vegas and joining the Grammys, and you know, B, being honored.
23:11
Dayna Roselli: Then that night when they were honoring John Legend, he was also the chosen performer to perform at that event.
23:17
Dayna Roselli: Wow.
23:17
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
23:18
Dayna Roselli: So I listen, another country artist.
23:20
Dayna Roselli: I went on, looked him up because I didn't know his music.
23:23
Dayna Roselli: It's really good.
23:25
Dayna Roselli: So Love Jimmy Allen.
23:26
Dayna Roselli: He was super nice.
23:27
Dayna Roselli: And just wanted to mention as I was talking to all these different people, I asked them all about Las Vegas and the Grammys being in Las Vegas.
23:35
Dayna Roselli: It was the first time we've mentioned that.
23:36
Dayna Roselli: Yep.
23:37
Dayna Roselli: But I was curious to see like what did they like this experience?
23:40
Dayna Roselli: Because we'd seen a couple contradictory articles.
23:42
Dayna Roselli: Was it page six with saying everyone was miserable because we didn't have the right ragging on Vegas?
23:48
Dayna Roselli: And our casinos smelled like smoke.
23:50
Sean McAllister: And I take huge issue with the fact with that page six article saying that we don't have expert tailors in Las Vegas.
23:59
Sean McAllister: You go behind the scenes at any show on the Las Vegas strip, and there is a wardrobe department full of some of the most talented seamstresses and seamsters.
24:13
Sean McAllister: Yeah.
24:13
Sean McAllister: Is that what you call a guy seamstress?
24:15
Sean McAllister: I don't know.
24:16
Sean McAllister: Um but they are masters at their craft, the men and women who do those jobs.
24:22
Sean McAllister: So you're right.
24:23
Sean McAllister: Up yours to anyone who rags on Vegas.
24:28
Dayna Roselli: I was backstage of Mysterio, and they actually have, like you said, Tailors and Seamstress right backstage.
24:34
Dayna Roselli: Each costume is literally m created and made and sewn and tweaked for each individual performer in that show.
24:42
Dayna Roselli: So they are all on site, full-time backstage.
24:46
Dayna Roselli: So you're right.
24:46
Sean McAllister: We have plenty.
24:47
Dayna Roselli: So I was curious to see what all these different people that were in town, what they thought.
24:52
Dayna Roselli: And not nothing negative.
24:54
Dayna Roselli: Everyone seemed to think it was a blast.
24:56
Dayna Roselli: Um, I talked to a rapper that was in from Chicago.
24:59
Dayna Roselli: He was up for best RB performance, and he said he just loved that like he could go down and gamble a little.
25:04
Dayna Roselli: He thought it was cool to like, you know, in some of his downtime, that he he thought there was a great variety of things to do in Vegas.
25:11
Dayna Roselli: Um Jordan Sparks said she always loves visiting Las Vegas.
25:15
Dayna Roselli: It's so much fun.
25:16
Dayna Roselli: She also mentioned she would love a residency show here.
25:19
Dayna Roselli: So I chatted with her about that.
25:21
Dayna Roselli: Um, some of the people next to me on the carpet, even the crews and the photographers, um, and also I can't remember the other person that I interviewed were saying that they loved that Vegas like doesn't shut down at 1 a.m.
25:32
Dayna Roselli: like LA does.
25:33
Dayna Roselli: So the after parties and the Grammy related parties could go longer into the night.
25:38
Dayna Roselli: It wasn't a rush to get there.
25:40
Dayna Roselli: You know, they could go a little late, they could eat dinner, they could go to a party at, you know, 11 p.m.
25:44
Dayna Roselli: and and maybe it would go till three.
25:46
Dayna Roselli: So they were enjoying that side of it, the kind of 24-7 deal that we have going on here.
25:51
Dayna Roselli: But uh everyone thought it was different and and were they seemed excited to be in Las Vegas and having this celebration in Las Vegas.
26:00
Sean McAllister: And another celebration that's been making the rounds in all the rumor mills, uh, there's reports and photos popping up of Courtney Kardashian and Travis Barker tying the knot at a Vegas wedding chapel.
26:14
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, after the Grammys, they decided to go and like, and apparently this chapel, like they demanded like we need an Elvis here.
26:20
Dayna Roselli: So they called up an Elvis and he showed up to officiate.
26:24
Sean McAllister: We know a guy.
26:24
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, we know a bunch of guys.
26:28
Dayna Roselli: Um and so everyone was curious because like, you know, did they really get married?
26:34
Dayna Roselli: Because did they go get a marriage license was the big or did they just do this for fun?
26:38
Dayna Roselli: Well, she literally just posted on her Instagram six hours ago from when we're recording this, saying, found these on my camera roll.
26:45
Dayna Roselli: I'm like, I'm sure you I'm sure you knew they were like, come on, you know, we're not dumb.
26:49
Dayna Roselli: Um, but anyway, she said um it happened in Las Vegas at 2 a.m.
26:54
Dayna Roselli: and at it happened after an epic night and a little tequila.
26:58
Dayna Roselli: A queen and her handsome king ventured out to the only open chapel with an Elvis and got married, and then she put in parentheses with no license.
27:07
Dayna Roselli: Practice makes perfect.
27:08
Dayna Roselli: So they are not officially married yet.
27:11
Sean McAllister: All right.
27:11
Dayna Roselli: But they went out and did this, had a little fun, and great promo again.
27:17
Dayna Roselli: Listen, the Kardashian, say what you will, biggest thing going.
27:21
Sean McAllister: It's great promo for our Las Vegas wedding chapels.
27:24
Sean McAllister: I didn't know that you could like go in there and just have like a a fake wedding, though.
27:29
Dayna Roselli: I think when you're corning.
27:31
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
27:31
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
27:32
Sean McAllister: We'll just why not?
27:33
Sean McAllister: I guess some of the rules slip by.
27:35
Dayna Roselli: So uh congratulations, not congratulations to them.
27:38
Dayna Roselli: I'd have to look at the article to figure out.
27:40
Sean McAllister: Did you say congratulations, not congratulations?
27:42
Dayna Roselli: They didn't really get married.
27:43
Dayna Roselli: You know, like congratulations, I don't know what on what, because you didn't really get married.
27:49
Sean McAllister: So glad you had fun.
27:51
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I'm glad it was fun.
27:52
Dayna Roselli: The tequila will do that to you.

31:44
Dayna Roselli: And I talked to D Nice.
31:46
Dayna Roselli: He was trying to not be interviewed by me because he was like trying to get to the event.
31:50
Dayna Roselli: Oh, yeah.
31:50

32:32
Dayna Roselli: There are a lot of different things going on that that weekend.
32:35
Dayna Roselli: And basically, it's a way to bring awareness, help people, yes, have some fun, enjoy the entertainment, but also take part in the conversation and learn something.
32:46
Dayna Roselli: So I think it'll be really great.
32:48

33:10
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I I I had never heard of her, never met her, and she was there at the event.
33:15
Dayna Roselli: I think she told me it was her first time in Las Vegas.
33:18
Dayna Roselli: She was thrilled.
33:19
Dayna Roselli: I can't remember if it was her first time in the United States or in Las Vegas because she's an English musician, singer, and songwriter.
33:27
Dayna Roselli: Uh, she is in town for a show that she's doing at the House of Blues on April 27th.
33:34
Dayna Roselli: And so she's coming in to perform, came early to go to the Grammys.
33:38
Dayna Roselli: Uh, she's been nominated for Grammys in the past.
33:41
Dayna Roselli: So, yeah, it must not be her first time in the United States, must have been her first time in Las Vegas.
33:45
Dayna Roselli: But anyway, we got chatting.
33:46
Dayna Roselli: Um, she was a lovely, lovely woman, and she was telling me that she's in the new Elvis movie with Tom Hanks.
33:53
Dayna Roselli: So, yeah, and she said that she plays a role that is crucial, which a lot of people don't know about, to Elvis's, to the start of Elvis' career.
34:03
Dayna Roselli: And so we can catch her in that movie.
