• 0:42
  Dayna Roselli: Welcome to Vegas Revealed, episode 339.
• 0:46
  Dayna Roselli: Dayna Roselli and Sean McAllister here, ready to talk Vegas deals.
• 0:50
  Dayna Roselli: Before we get to that, Sean, a sidebar conversation that you and I have had a lot over the last week.
• 0:57
  Dayna Roselli: And it's about how people are supposed to know that there are deals out there and things you can do as locals.
• 1:04
  Dayna Roselli: Because we've run into a couple things that made us think.
• 1:24
  Sean McAllister: And we've mentioned it to uh to some friends, and they're like, wait, that's a thing?
• 1:29
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 1:30
  Dayna Roselli: People don't know.
• 1:31
  Dayna Roselli: And it's weird, we get the releases, and even us, like because we see so many deals, like sometimes we forget, even like there's 20% off at uh Park MGM, the restaurants, like Sunday through Thursday or something.
• 1:41
  Dayna Roselli: I ate there recently.
• 1:42
  Dayna Roselli: I'm like, oh, I know I I forgot about that.
• 1:44
  Dayna Roselli: Because you know, you glance, but you hop around so much, and especially when you're here either on vacation or you are a local and you're going, you forget.
• 1:53
  Dayna Roselli: And yes, I had a friend yesterday also ask me as I was scanning my license to leave a parking garage on the strip.
• 2:00
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I stopped to slide the ticket in and then scan my license.
• 2:04
  Dayna Roselli: And she's like, What are you doing?
• 2:05
  Dayna Roselli: I'm like, Well, you know, the local parking.
• 2:07
  Dayna Roselli: And she goes, See, I would have had no idea that I had to scan my license.
• 2:10
  Dayna Roselli: And so I thought, yeah, I guess maybe a lot of people don't.
• 2:14
  Dayna Roselli: And especially because every parking garage is kind of different, too.
• 2:17
  Sean McAllister: It is.
• 2:18
  Dayna Roselli: So how do you know?
• 2:20
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, we spread the word, but not everyone is listening to a Vegas Revealed podcast.
• 2:24
  Dayna Roselli: Not everyone is reading the paper.
• 2:26
  Dayna Roselli: Maybe it but our point is before you come to Las Vegas or if you live here, take some time and go through the different properties that you visit a lot and look on their pages.
• 2:38
  Sean McAllister: And just simply ask, especially if you're a Las Vegas local.
• 2:42
  Sean McAllister: Um, just ask if there is a local's discount.
• 2:47
  Sean McAllister: Because admittedly, we don't uh talk about every single uh uh discount thing that comes through, because a lot of them do have very specific uh qualifying windows.
• 2:59
  Sean McAllister: So like Tuesday through Thursday from 5 p.m.
• 3:04
  Sean McAllister: to 7 p.m.
• 3:05
  Sean McAllister: And then again from nine to like if they're too much, it can get really convoluted.
• 3:10
  Sean McAllister: Okay.
• 3:10
  Sean McAllister: So bottom line, just ask.
• 3:12
  Sean McAllister: And especially if you're a senior, if you're military, if you're a first responder, if you're a teacher, those are also uh regular discounts that a lot of places do offer, even if you're not a Las Vegas local.
• 3:26
  Sean McAllister: So uh when you're going to an attraction, a restaurant, even hotels, um, just ask for those certain discounts.
• 3:34
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, or go online before you go.
• 3:35
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 3:35
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, ask.
• 3:36
  Dayna Roselli: Because some of them do say you have to book online for the that's another thing.
• 3:41
  Sean McAllister: Only available online.
• 3:42
  Sean McAllister: Only available, some are only available in person.
• 3:45
  Sean McAllister: True.
• 3:45
  Sean McAllister: Some are only available at the box office.
• 3:47
  Sean McAllister: So we always say there are deals out there to be had.
• 3:52
  Sean McAllister: It can be time consuming to track them down, but if you're looking for a deal, then maybe the time to track it down is worth it.
• 4:01
  Sean McAllister: And they are out there.
• 4:02
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 4:03
  Dayna Roselli: Listen, Vegas Revealed is always free Monday through Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
• 4:11
  Dayna Roselli: Share with your friends.
• 4:13
  Dayna Roselli: We have no locals discount.
• 4:15
  Sean McAllister: And these are the kinds of conversations that Dana and I have when we're sitting here at our desks during the day.
• 4:20
  Sean McAllister: And we yell out Wait a second.
• 4:23
  Dayna Roselli: Wait.
• 4:24
  Dayna Roselli: I know we scream sometimes like if something affected us.
• 4:28
  Dayna Roselli: Oh man, we are an interesting office here too.
• 4:32
  Sean McAllister: We should just record a day in the life.
• 4:34
  Sean McAllister: Oh my.
• 4:34
  Sean McAllister: Although maybe we shouldn't be able to do that.
• 4:35
  Sean McAllister: I don't think we can.
• 4:36
  Sean McAllister: I don't think we can.
• 4:36
  Sean McAllister: No, maybe we shouldn't.
• 4:40
  Dayna Roselli: All right, well, let's talk sales.
• 4:41
  Dayna Roselli: We told you last week the five five-day sale was kicking off on September 22nd.
• 4:46
  Dayna Roselli: It is in full force.
• 4:47
  Dayna Roselli: Um, you can go over to the website and check out all the deals for yourself.

• 4:56
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but it started September 22nd, and it is a five-day sale and tons of stuff all across Vegas.

• 8:49
  Sean McAllister: There's like a circular bar in the middle, and then dining all around.

• 9:02
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.

  Dayna Roselli: Always good.
• 10:56
  Dayna Roselli: Uh they got a lot coming up at the Smith Center.

  Dayna Roselli: I don't know the details in front of me, but that William Shakespeare um Romeo and Julia that they're bringing to life.
• 11:09

  Dayna Roselli: I think it's in February, one day only.
• 11:19

• 11:20
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, Clay Aiken is returning to the Harris Showroom uh for December, doing a show called Joyful Noise, a five-show holiday engagement marking um the recording artists and entertainers' first ever Las Vegas residency.
• 11:35
  Dayna Roselli: So I guess when they say returning, so he maybe did a one-off.
• 11:39
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, Clay has been in and out of town over the years for sure.
• 11:43
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, but he's doing five shows, so a five holiday engagement.
• 11:47
  Dayna Roselli: And I guess we're calling it a residency.
• 11:49
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but um, it follows his sorry, I'm not being sarcastic there, but we've been here a long time, and sometimes when there's short runs.
• 11:56
  Sean McAllister: Well, no, we and we just talked about this too.
• 11:58
  Sean McAllister: The the changing face of the entertainment scene and how residency, the word residency is being slapped on to limited engagements, it's being slapped on to whatever kind of run that you're having these days.
• 12:14
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 12:15
  Sean McAllister: It's not not like the old days.
• 12:17
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 12:17
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, I know, it's different.

  Dayna Roselli: It's a fun night out.
• 17:33
  Sean McAllister: It'll get you jazzed up to be spit back out into Las Vegas around eight o'clock and then really ramp things up.
• 17:42
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I mean, it sounds great.
• 17:43
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, depending on, you know, age groups, maybe you want to have dinner before, go to this, and that's the end of your night, or maybe you wanna go to this, have dinner after, gamble after, have more drinks, whatever you want to do.
• 17:54
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 17:55
  Dayna Roselli: So it sounds fun.
• 17:56
  Dayna Roselli: Um, hey, listen, we talked about um Oktoberfest here on the audio podcast and in the TV show.
• 18:02
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, it's a huge thing over at the Hofburg House Las Vegas.
• 18:05
  Dayna Roselli: Now, a lot of people wrote to us and said, Oh, we didn't even know this place was there, even though it's been there so long.
• 18:10
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but it's the exact replica of the one in Munich, Germany, and it is massive.
• 18:16
  Dayna Roselli: So we actually went in and we want to share this piece with you because we went through all the things.
• 18:23
  Dayna Roselli: We we talked about everything that they offer, all the different uh foods and what makes it fun, and how there's a party every day and all the things.
• 18:32
  Dayna Roselli: And we did a story for the TV show.
• 18:35
  Sean McAllister: And we even tried the reason bleed in it.
• 18:37
  Dayna Roselli: Well, see, I don't even know how you remember these words.
• 18:40
  Dayna Roselli: Well, you're gonna hear in this story that we're gonna share right now that um I had a little trouble with it.
• 18:46
  Dayna Roselli: Enjoy.
• 18:50
  Speaker: When you come in and you see the high ceilings, and especially at night when the band is playing, you're like, I just wanted to go out for dinner.
• 18:59
  Speaker: Wow, now I'm in the middle of this experience.
• 19:02
  Speaker: It transports you back to Munich, to Bavaria, and you don't have a feeling that you're in Las Vegas.
• 19:08
  Speaker: Now you think you're in Germany.
• 19:10
  Speaker: It's kind of an attraction.
• 19:11
  Speaker: Yes, that's what we always love to say.
• 19:13
  Speaker: It's not only a restaurant, it's an attraction.
• 19:15
  Speaker: You're right.
• 19:15
  Speaker: So we fall into two categories.
• 19:18
  Speaker: Maybe three of you come on the bar.
• 19:19
  Speaker: The Munich Plummer is the uh most popular thing on the daily special menu because uh you can share with two, but a lot of men like to eat it by themselves.
• 19:32
  Speaker: The chefs in our kitchen are trained in Germany and they work here now.
• 19:37
  Speaker: We have German Bavarian authentic food, sausages, mitsel, pretzels, we import the sauerkraut from Germany, as well as the beer.
• 19:45
  Speaker: So the beer is coming from the Hofbury Brewery in Munich, Germany, and then we tap it here and serve it fresh for the guests.
• 19:52
  Speaker: Ice cold.
• 19:53
  Dayna Roselli: So listen, a reason beat.
• 19:55
  Dayna Roselli: Am I sending it right?
• 19:56
  Dayna Roselli: Am I sending it right?
• 19:58
  Dayna Roselli: Riesenbreak.
• 19:59
  Dayna Roselli: A reason beat.
• 20:02
  Dayna Roselli: It's my dam.
• 20:05
  Dayna Roselli: This looks delicious.
• 20:06
  Sean McAllister: Whether you come on a dad or you come on a pretzel, it's still good.
• 20:10
  Sean McAllister: You ready to dig into this?
• 20:11
  Dayna Roselli: I'm ready to dig in.
• 20:12
  Dayna Roselli: Let's do it.
• 20:20
  Speaker: The beetle garden in the back is endorsing temperature controls.
• 20:24
  Speaker: And Munich Germany would find that to be outdoors.
• 20:27
  Speaker: Um, too hot in Las Vegas, so they build it indoors, and it has um trees in there, and chestnut trees actually with sleeves on them that we haven't made them put on.
• 20:39
  Speaker: It's really incredible.
• 20:40
  Speaker: It's it's another 400 people, so even if you're not in the main hall with all the extras and the lifeboat, it's still fun in there, especially for daytime, or to not be in all the loud and craziness, but still be part of the experience.
• 20:54
  Speaker: And then for the cactippers, we actually switched to TV so you can still see what's happening in the main hall.
• 21:00
  Speaker: Starting in 2004, uh, we had celebrity cactippers, and they were coming ever since.
• 21:08
  Speaker: And uh it all started with Sigrid and Roy, but there were also guests like uh the tippiness that come every year, the Fantasy Girls who response talk.
• 21:17
  Speaker: Pamela Anderson has been here.
• 21:19
  Speaker: Um, and we collect them all on our wall.
• 21:22
  Speaker: So when you're here, you want to make sure you go through the main hall, make it right towards the restrooms, and take a quick look at the Wall of Fame.
• 21:29
  Speaker: We would love for everybody to come down and experience it at least once in your life.
• 21:40
  Sean McAllister: So you didn't remember the reason Britton?
• 21:43
  Dayna Roselli: No, I didn't.
• 21:44
  Sean McAllister: I mean I'm I'm I know that I'm even butchering it.
• 21:46
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I it was so good though.
• 21:48
  Dayna Roselli: That big pretzel, that beer cheese.
• 21:50
  Sean McAllister: We definitely did butcher that pretzel.
• 21:52
  Dayna Roselli: We did.
• 21:52
  Dayna Roselli: It was great.
• 21:53
  Sean McAllister: That cheese, though, there was uh like a brie.
• 21:56
  Sean McAllister: There was one, there's the beer cheese, but then there was like a brie.
• 21:59
  Sean McAllister: Cheese too that was delicious.
• 22:03
  Sean McAllister: Oh my gosh.
• 22:04
  Dayna Roselli: I had been in there a long time ago, but when we actually went in, you know, at a time that uh because we went in the morning when it wasn't super busy so we could see all the stuff and talk with the staff.
• 22:12
  Dayna Roselli: Um I was impressed.
• 22:14
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 22:14
  Dayna Roselli: It's really nice.
• 22:15
  Dayna Roselli: That beer garden is nice.
• 22:17
  Sean McAllister: It is.
• 22:18
  Dayna Roselli: And the parties they have there.
• 22:20
  Dayna Roselli: So here's the deal Oktoberfest goes to October 31st.
• 22:23
  Dayna Roselli: But it's kind of Oktoberfest all year round there.
• 22:26
  Dayna Roselli: But, you know, the actual keg tappings and the they have extra live music and that kind of thing.
• 22:32
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but they have f uh always have a free parking lot there and it's big.
• 22:35
  Dayna Roselli: So FYI, you can pull right in.
• 22:37
  Dayna Roselli: It's uh Harmon in Paradise, right across from Virgin Hotels, Las Vegas.
• 22:42
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and she did mention that during Oktoberfest they have free valet because they know it gets busy.
• 22:47
  Sean McAllister: I'm excited that um my sister is coming into town in October, and this is going to be the perfect place to take her.
• 22:56
  Sean McAllister: She's gonna have so much fun over there.
• 22:58
  Sean McAllister: Well, we all are.
• 22:59
  Sean McAllister: We're gonna have a blast.
• 23:00
  Sean McAllister: I think that's gonna be a a great time.
• 23:02
  Sean McAllister: So if you do live here and you have family coming into town, this is one of those places where you can go, you can have a meal and a party and a show kind of all mixed into one.
• 23:14
  Dayna Roselli: Mm-hmm.
• 23:14
  Dayna Roselli: Definitely.
• 23:15
  Dayna Roselli: It's a good time.
• 23:16
  Sean McAllister: It is.
• 23:16
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 23:17
  Dayna Roselli: And it's a great place, like you're said, to take people that are in town.
• 23:20
  Dayna Roselli: They don't have that anywhere else.
• 23:23
  Dayna Roselli: No, I mean they might-ish.
• 23:25
  Sean McAllister: Well, there might be some kind of a uh Bavarian-themed something, yeah, but you don't have the world's only exact replica of the Hofburg house outside of Munich, Germany.
• 23:36
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 23:37
  Sean McAllister: You don't have it because we do.
• 23:38
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 23:39
  Dayna Roselli: There you have it.
• 23:41
  Dayna Roselli: Well, we already told you there was a whole lineup of celebrity keg tappers, which makes me think we should do celebrity news with a Vegas twist.
• 23:49
  Dayna Roselli: Well, listen, we went to see Mary J.
• 23:53
  Dayna Roselli: Blige at Park MGM and we loved it.
• 23:56
  Dayna Roselli: Both of us were impressed.
• 23:57
  Dayna Roselli: And uh she's a celebrity in our eyes because she's been around since Sean and I were younger.
• 24:02
  Dayna Roselli: Uh oh.
• 24:02
  Dayna Roselli: We've been listening to her music forever.
• 24:04
  Sean McAllister: Part of our formative years.
• 24:05
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, and she is a celebrity, not only in our eyes.
• 24:08
  Dayna Roselli: But uh, but anyway, uh, we were kind of bummed to hear that she is uh has announced the final 10 dates of her residency over at Park MGM.
• 24:17
  Dayna Roselli: So she'll be wrapping up in February of 2027.
• 24:21
  Dayna Roselli: But, you know, she's done a lot of shows and she's got two more runs going until February.
• 24:25
  Dayna Roselli: So I mean, she may just be like, I did my thing, I'm good.
• 24:28
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and it was a great residency.
• 24:31
  Sean McAllister: One of the things that that we loved about it is that there's videos that play during the show as well that kind of give you a a glimpse into Mary's personality and her mentality.
• 24:45
  Sean McAllister: And one of the videos, she was like, At this stage of my life and career, I am gonna do whatever the heck I want.
• 24:56
  Sean McAllister: She didn't say heck.
• 24:57
  Sean McAllister: No, she didn't say heck, but she said she's gonna do whatever she wants, she's gonna do what she wants, how she wants to do it.
• 25:03
  Sean McAllister: I said, go marry.
