  Dayna Roselli: Welcome everyone to Vegas Revealed, episode 138.
• 2:07
  Dayna Roselli: Dana Roselli here with Sean McAllister, and we've got a lot to talk about today.
• 2:13
  Dayna Roselli: This week, we got the very first glimpse of what's being called a new era in Las Vegas Entertainment.
• 2:20
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it really is.
• 2:21
  Sean McAllister: It feels like we're, you know, at the beginning of kind of the next phase of what people expect on stage here in Las Vegas.
• 2:30
  Sean McAllister: Uh we had breakfast with executives over at Win Las Vegas and the creative team of the new show that was just announced over there.
• 2:38
  Sean McAllister: It's called Awakening.
• 2:40
  Sean McAllister: We'll share everything that we learned about this multi-million dollar production coming up in just a few minutes.
• 2:47
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and there's a lot of firsts in this show.
• 2:49
  Dayna Roselli: So that's exciting right there.
• 2:51
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, things you've never heard about relating to Las Vegas shows or really shows anywhere else in the world.
• 2:57
  Dayna Roselli: This is going to be great.
• 2:59
  Dayna Roselli: So you'll want to stay tuned for that for sure.
• 3:01
  Dayna Roselli: But first, a show that we were talking about last week, and we promised we would talk about this week, and that is David Blaine in Spades.
• 3:10
  Dayna Roselli: His show opened at Resorts World.
• 3:13
  Dayna Roselli: And just real quick, want to go over the fact that we had mentioned he was there for a weekend.
• 3:18
  Dayna Roselli: He was coming back at the end of October and then back in December.
• 3:20
  Dayna Roselli: But already, since the show has opened, he's announced more dates in January of 2023 and March of 2023.
• 3:28
  Dayna Roselli: So you when you hear us talk about it and you go, man, I need to see this, don't worry, there's going to be more opportunities.
• 3:33
  Sean McAllister: And it really is a great show to see.
• 3:37
  Sean McAllister: And we were just talking, Dana, about this being a new era of entertainment in relation to the new show at Wynn.
• 3:44
  Sean McAllister: I feel like David Blaine kind of fits into that new era too, because the way that his show is put together, it kind of like throws out all the rules that you're kind of like supposed to follow when you're creating a Las Vegas show.
• 4:03
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and I think when a lot of us who have been around the block for a while walked out of the show, we were all in agreement.
• 4:10
  Dayna Roselli: Like, you know what?
• 4:11
  Dayna Roselli: That was really different, but I liked it.
• 4:13
  Sean McAllister: And kind of refreshing.
• 4:15
  Dayna Roselli: It was.
• 4:16
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, we walked in and David Blaine's like floating around the theater in the sky uh with a bunch of with a like huge batch of balloons.
• 4:25
  Dayna Roselli: And that went on for what are that like at least like 15, 20 minutes.
• 4:29
  Sean McAllister: At least, yeah.
• 4:30
  Dayna Roselli: As people kind of filed in, and you're like, and and the fun part is is you kind of can't figure out what's going on.
• 4:35
  Dayna Roselli: You're like, is he getting a lay of the land?
• 4:37
  Dayna Roselli: Is he just floating around to say hello?
• 4:40
  Dayna Roselli: So you so you don't know what to expect.
• 4:43
  Sean McAllister: Well, and you know what was funny?
• 4:44
  Sean McAllister: When I walked in the theater and saw somebody up like strung up with a bunch of balloons, I was thinking, I was like, that's interesting.
• 4:52
  Sean McAllister: Does he have like uh a clown or a comedian who's warming up the audience before the show?
• 4:59
  Sean McAllister: But then as I got closer, I was like, no, wait a second, this is David Blaine.
• 5:04
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 5:04
  Dayna Roselli: We're like, wait, what?
• 5:05
  Dayna Roselli: And then as soon as he's over you, it's like, hey, and you know what?
• 5:08
  Dayna Roselli: Everyone's capturing video, which is great.
• 5:10
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 5:10
  Dayna Roselli: What a great idea.
• 5:12
  Dayna Roselli: As he's floating over you.
• 5:14
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so that lasted for a while.
• 5:16
  Dayna Roselli: And then he kind of goes from the balloon to this what would you call it?
• 5:21
  Sean McAllister: Like a scaffolding, a beam, yeah.
• 5:23
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, ladder, whatever.
• 5:25
  Dayna Roselli: And climbs up, what was that?
• 5:26
  Dayna Roselli: Seven stories, did he say?
• 5:28
  Dayna Roselli: Seven eighty feet?
• 5:29
  Sean McAllister: Almost eight stories, almost eighty feet up.
• 5:31
  Dayna Roselli: Eighty feet up, yeah.
• 5:32
  Dayna Roselli: So we're we're waiting, like, well, what's going on?
• 5:35
  Dayna Roselli: We see a load of boxes, cardboard boxes on the ground.
• 5:38
  Dayna Roselli: The lights are still on in the theater, by the way.
• 5:41
  Dayna Roselli: And it's kind of like this thing is getting set up.
• 5:43
  Dayna Roselli: So it's kind of like you're part of the construction of this stunt.
• 5:48
  Sean McAllister: Totally.
• 5:48
  Dayna Roselli: We were there waiting for again for what?
• 5:52
  Dayna Roselli: Like, I don't even know, like 10, 15 minutes.
• 5:54
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, probably.
• 5:55
  Dayna Roselli: Is he okay?
• 5:56
  Dayna Roselli: So then he says everyone countdown from 10.
• 6:00
  Dayna Roselli: I'm gonna jump.
• 6:02
  Dayna Roselli: And we're like, okay.
• 6:05
  Dayna Roselli: You know what?
• 6:06
  Dayna Roselli: I might even have that countdown in my phone.
• 6:08
  Dayna Roselli: Hold on, let's play that.
• 6:24
  Sean McAllister: And he jumped into a pile of cardboard boxes from eighty feet up.
• 6:32
  Sean McAllister: And I don't know that I think people were like maybe expecting it, but when it happens, my breath was taken away.
• 6:42
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 6:42
  Sean McAllister: I was like, I was like, and like oh my gosh.
• 6:46
  Sean McAllister: Oh my gosh.
• 6:47
  Sean McAllister: And I felt like that sentiment was carried throughout the show.
• 6:54
  Sean McAllister: Every time he did something, I was peeking through my fingers as I was covering my eyes, or my jaw was just on the ground or gagging, depending on which act you're you're talking about.
• 7:11
  Sean McAllister: But I mean, it was it was just, I was in amazement.
• 7:16
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 7:16
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, when go to our social media because we do have what it looked like when David Blaine jumped and how he kind of walked out of those boxes without a scratch on him, smiling.
• 7:27
  Dayna Roselli: And you could see there were some blankets down there too to maybe like you know buffer the fall a little bit, but still, that was crazy.
• 7:34
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and by the way, it was a star-studded opening night when we were there.
• 7:39
  Sean McAllister: Um, Woody Harrelson was there, Edward Norton was there as uh to watch the show, and he also became a part of it at one point as well.
• 7:48
  Sean McAllister: Getting up on stage and and talking a while.
• 7:51
  Sean McAllister: Uh Lars Ulrich, uh, Dr.
• 7:54
  Sean McAllister: Dre, Eminem, uh, Logan Paul, the YouTuber and fighter.
• 8:00
  Dayna Roselli: I saw him the next night at the Shack fundraiser too at MGM Group.
• 8:03
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, right.
• 8:03
  Sean McAllister: He was making the rounds.
• 8:04
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 8:05
  Sean McAllister: Uh Rob Lowe in town.
• 8:06
  Sean McAllister: Lots of people were here.
• 8:07
  Sean McAllister: I know.
• 8:08
  Dayna Roselli: How did I miss Rob Lowe?
• 8:09
  Dayna Roselli: I love Woody Harrelson.
• 8:10
  Dayna Roselli: I didn't see him.
• 8:11
  Dayna Roselli: I'm bummed.
• 8:12
  Dayna Roselli: But anyway, I mean, you know, we don't want to go when it's an illusionist, I and something's new.
• 8:16
  Dayna Roselli: I feel like we don't want to go through every single thing, right?
• 8:19
  Dayna Roselli: We don't want to give stuff away.
• 8:20
  Dayna Roselli: But what was different, um, like you you had mentioned also was an intermission, an 18-minute intermission.
• 8:28
  Dayna Roselli: Be prepared for that.
• 8:29
  Dayna Roselli: But here's the deal: David says, I'm gonna have to go prepare for my biggest stunt yet in this show.
• 8:36
  Dayna Roselli: So I need to take an intermission.
• 8:38
  Dayna Roselli: You guys go do your thing.
• 8:39
  Dayna Roselli: And you know what?
• 8:40
  Dayna Roselli: It wasn't bad.
• 8:41
  Dayna Roselli: It went by fast.
• 8:42
  Dayna Roselli: People were able to go grab a drink, and then we came back in for what was an incredible stunt where David holds his breath underwater with an alligator.
• 8:54
  Sean McAllister: In a tank with him.
• 8:56
  Dayna Roselli: Like, I know it was insane.
• 9:00
  Dayna Roselli: There's so much to talk about, but I kind of don't want to give away.
• 9:03
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 9:03
  Sean McAllister: The one thing that I will say about what makes this show different is that uh you won't find the pacing that you would find at um I'll call it a production show.
• 9:17
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 9:17
  Sean McAllister: This is not this is not the kind it's not a David Copperfield kind of illusion show at all.
• 9:25
  Dayna Roselli: You know, and David Blaine has done a lot of things where he walks the street.
• 9:28
  Dayna Roselli: It did feel like you're right, it was like we were all standing on a street, maybe in Times Square, yeah, looking up or watching into and wondering what he was gonna do next, and that kind of thing, and just hearing him talk.
• 9:42
  Dayna Roselli: It was interesting.
• 9:44
  Dayna Roselli: We thought it was great.
• 9:45
  Dayna Roselli: We liked going to something different, experiencing something different.
• 9:49
  Dayna Roselli: And, you know, welcome to the strip, David Belaine.
• 9:51
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I mean, a successful opening, and obviously with added show dates in January and March of uh next year, definitely uh something that the Resorts World was happy with as well.
• 10:05
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 10:06
  Dayna Roselli: And we did say, gosh, that show was physically, um I'm assuming, and mentally exhausting for him.
• 10:14
  Dayna Roselli: I can only imagine.
• 10:15
  Dayna Roselli: So it makes sense that he's doing like I'm looking ahead at the dates, and it's like the 6th and 7th of January, 27th and 28th.
• 10:22
  Dayna Roselli: It's like you can I can only imagine like two days is enough of what he goes through mentally and physically in that show.
• 10:28
  Sean McAllister: Oh my god, it would take a lot of recovery time.
• 10:31
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I would imagine.
• 10:32
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 10:32
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 10:33
  Dayna Roselli: So all right.
• 10:34
  Dayna Roselli: Well, congratulations to David Blaine.
• 10:36
  Sean McAllister: Moving on to uh the sports world.
• 10:40
  Sean McAllister: We have a huge NASCAR weekend coming up here in Las Vegas next weekend.
• 10:47
  Sean McAllister: It's, I mean, it starts with trials on Friday and then moves into a race on Saturday and the main event on Sunday.
• 10:55
  Sean McAllister: And it's something that draws thousands and thousands of people here, Dana.
• 10:59
  Dayna Roselli: It really is a great experience.
• 11:02
  Dayna Roselli: If you've never been to a NASCAR race, you gotta go.
• 11:06
  Dayna Roselli: The Las Vegas Motor Speedway is an incredible, incredible track.
• 11:11
  Dayna Roselli: It's the South Point 400.
• 11:13
  Dayna Roselli: It's happening the 14th to the 16th.
• 11:16
  Dayna Roselli: We didn't speed, we traveled up to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and we sat down with general manager Chris Powell to talk about everything that you can expect.
• 11:27
  Sean McAllister: So, Chris, we're a week away from another big race weekend here in Las Vegas.
• 11:32
  Sean McAllister: Are you excited for it?
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: Dane and Sean, first of all, thank you for coming out.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_00: Uh appreciate the exposure you give to Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_00: Uh uh proud of the what the Speedway has done, the role the Speedway has played for 20 plus years in the Las Vegas Valley.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_00: And and uh we we feel like we're good corporate partners with the city and we bring a lot of people into town that that enjoy coming here and having a great time.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_00: And one of the things that's uh so gratifying is that we are selling not only NASCAR racing, but selling Las Vegas and what this city has to offer.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_00: And so uh it makes it a lot easier as a an event promoter when you can sell these, you know, not only the great racing that we have here at the Speedway, but also the great hotels and the meals and the restaurants and the shows and the uh other forms of entertainment, the gaming and the retail opportunities that families have when they come here for NASCAR.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_00: And so it's uh it's it's very an exciting time.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: Uh you you ask am I excited about next week?
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely, because it you know, the my favorite moment is when the the at the right at the end of the national anthem and the Thunderbirds fly over and uh you hit home of the brave and the excitement and the and the green flags about to fall, and you can feel you know how excited the fans are for the for the action that's getting ready to unfold on the racetrack.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_00: So you're darn right I'm excited.
• 12:55
  Dayna Roselli: Well, and that's the thing.
• 12:56
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, you know, great time for the speedway, a great time for NASCAR fans, but like you said, a great time for Las Vegas.
• 13:02
  Dayna Roselli: And we were just chatting about the difference between, I mean, there's a way, there's two experiences.
• 13:06
  Dayna Roselli: There's watching NASCAR on TV, but there's kind of nothing like watching it and being a part of the action in person.
• 13:12
  Dayna Roselli: Talk to me and talk to our listeners about what it's like experiencing NASCAR in person.
• 13:18
  Dayna Roselli: If you haven't been, or if you have been and you haven't been in a while.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_00: Well, the sights and the sounds are just incredible.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_00: And uh obviously if you watch it on TV, and so many people do, millions of people every Saturday and Sunday afternoon watch NASCAR and other forms of racing on television, but actually being there and going through the midway before the race, you know, spending an hour or so, not only just the merchandise that's offered out there, but also the form various forms of entertainment.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_00: And we've had to up our game over the years in order to keep people's interest, not just in the racing, but also when they come to the speedway and they're approaching and they uh you know, it's like when the the the NFL draft came to Las Vegas and the NFL puts out all these displays, all these interactive opportunities for fans, and we're doing the same thing here at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and make whether it's music out on the bands playing on the midway and various driving opportunities and we'll have uh drifting going out on out on the midway.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_00: And so we just try to keep people's attention.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_00: You know, our our attention spans as we know are just not quite what they used to be twenty or thirty years ago.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_00: And so you gotta keep people entertained from the moment they get on the property until they leave.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_00: And so then when you're out in the grandstands after you've we our approach is let's make it so when people sit down in their seat, the green flag's about to fall, they've already gotten their money's worth.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_00: They've had so much fun already on the midway and with the pre-race entertainment and then the Thunderbirds and the and the national anthem.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: And so by the time the green flag falls, we want people to feel like, well, I've already had a great day, even if the race were to stop right now.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_00: Which of course it doesn't.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_00: 267 laps of the South Point 400 later, and people are just exhilarated because of the power, the competition.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_00: You know, you y occasionally we get out on the highway and we look down and we're going 75 or 80 miles an hour and we're going a little bit too fast.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_00: You think about these guys are going three times that in some cases.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_00: They're going you know, 100 to 200 miles an hour down the back stretch.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_00: It's uh incredible.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: And they're not just doing it by themselves, they've got uh 40 or so other young men and women who are trying to get in front of them.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_00: So I mean, the it it is they're they're risking so much and it is so exciting, and it just makes for a tremendous opportunity when you're actually on the property and in the arena as opposed to sitting at home on the couch.
• 15:49
  unknown: Yeah.
• 15:50
  Sean McAllister: And you talk about the the sights and the sounds that people experience here, but there's a feel too.
• 15:55
  Sean McAllister: Isn't there a rumble that you feel through your whole body that there is no way you can experience at home?
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_00: It really is.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_00: I mean it just it w when you think about you you just hear one race car fire up and it's pretty loud, but when you've got forty or so of them and they're they're they're they're waiting to the they've gentlemen or drivers start your engines and then they all pull off pit road and they take two or three pace laps and they're going about fifty miles an hour and you th you it just builds up and it builds up, and then when they're all hitting the throttle, it's just amazing.
• 16:29
  Dayna Roselli: It really is.
• 16:30
  Dayna Roselli: And you guys have a lot of things.
• 16:31
  Dayna Roselli: Was I looking at s some of the the facts about what's going on that weekend that people can go for free on Friday night to watch what some of the qualifiers are practiced?
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_00: We've got Xfinity the for the ALSCO 302 uh qualifying on Friday late afternoon, and we're gonna have a lot of things going on here on the Midway.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_00: Uh we call it now the fan fan zone or fan interactive area.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_00: Uh so we've got things going on all day on the midway area and then qualifying practicing qualifying late in the afternoon, and that's gonna be free because we're not actually promoting an actual race as in a green flag and and and and uh X number of laps and then the checkered flag, but rather practice and qualifying.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_00: So we decided let's bring out some young people, some kids who otherwise might not be able to afford to be able to come and it and it's all free and experience what's on the midway and all the excitement, even in the neon garage.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_00: So so the fans get that opportunity for free on on Friday, and then Saturday is the Alsko 30 Alsko Uniforms 302.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_00: And uh we've got some local competitors who will be competing in that, Noah Gragson and uh Riley Herbst.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_00: And then that's the X-Finity race, which is sort of the triple-A baseball to the Cup Series of uh that'll compete on Sunday.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_00: And that's on Sunday is the South Point 400, Michael Gone and everyone at the South Point great friends of us at the Speedway, and we just appreciate their involvement so much.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_00: Ryan Grownie, Sally Gaughan, on down the line.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_00: They all uh work really hard throughout the year.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_00: Our people meet with with them throughout the year to make sure that this one weekend is gonna be so special.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_00: And both of these races, uh both the Saturday and Sunday races, are in the playoffs, the NASCAR playoffs.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_00: So they're the the drivers have just even more motivation to to lay it all on the line because uh they're in the playoffs and they're uh each t each three races they pare down a few more uh competitors so that uh we'll end up at the end of the season with one champion.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_00: But uh so this race will play a big role in who uh uh proceeds on through the playoffs in NASCAR.
• 18:43
  Sean McAllister: So with tens of thousands of fans coming into town for uh this weekend of racing, uh do you have anything new uh that's going on that people maybe haven't experienced here in years past?
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_00: Well, Sean, each year we try to do a few new things.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes we rely on the some of the same old things, such as the transporter parade coming up the Las Vegas Strip, which always seems to get people's excited, and you'll you'll see thousands and thousands of race fans out there on the Las Vegas Strip, and they they cheer for the cheer the transporters, the drivers that they they love and they boo the ones they don't like, and so it it it really is like a mini race in its own right.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_00: Um the oak uh the the the Raiders uh Devontae Adams is going to be the pace car driver, so we're excited about that.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_00: And and he did a little video for us and and expressed so much excitement that he has for for coming out here.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_00: I can't imagine being able to do that to drive the pace car.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_00: I just I'd give anything to be able to do it myself.
• 19:42
  Dayna Roselli: Come on, you can't pull any strings.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not quite the celebrity that Devontae Adams is.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_00: One of the things that we're doing here at Las Vegas Motor Speedway during our October race from the starting this year, is to honor one driver, one legendary driver from yesteryear.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_00: And so the first uh driver that we're going to honor in in 2022 is the guy who won here at the first NASCAR Cup Series race back in 1998, and that's Mark Martin, Hall of Fame member from that uh NASCAR's Hall of Fame.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_00: And so Mark will be here along with not only that, but the race car that he competed in right here at Las Vegas in 1998.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_00: We found he doesn't own it.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_00: Jack Rousse, his team owner, that does not no longer own it.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_00: A young man in uh Maryville, Tennessee purchased it in an auction a few years ago and has restored it to so it looks exactly like the car that Mark drove here in 1998.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_00: And our friend Chris Klein, who's on our charity board, happens to own the uniform that Mark Martin drove in 1998 when he was here.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_00: And so we'll have that on display as well, as well as the race car.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_00: And so we're gonna have Mark out at the South Point on Thursday evening for a party that fans can attend.
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_00: They can meet Mark, uh, talk to him about the the glory days of his uh of his career.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_00: So we're very excited about that, and we'll be announcing during race week this year which legendary driver we will honor in 2023.
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_00: So we'll be excited about that announcement as well.
• 21:20
  Dayna Roselli: Listen, I uh told you I I went to a race and it was not what I expected.
• 21:25
  Dayna Roselli: You're right.
• 21:25
  Dayna Roselli: It is for everyone, it's a lot of fun, and it's a day, it is an enjoyable day, and the weather's always good, and it's just it's just all around fun.

• 21:49
  SPEAKER_00: That's yesterday buying tickets over the phone because now you can you know go to your laptop and and and purchase them in in no time flat.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_00: The uh the Neon Garage offers an entertainment.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_00: Option during our race weekend where fans can see the drivers and the teams up close as they prepare the cars to battle out on the racetrack.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_00: And so that's a kind of option that you don't get at many other racetracks is the Neon Garage.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_00: And plus, we have entertainment out there all through the weekend and incredible concessions offerings.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_00: So so many things to do here during an event weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

  SPEAKER_00: Great.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_00: Thanks so much, Chris.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_00: Sean Dana, thank you for having me.
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_00: Look forward to having you out here.
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_00: I I know a good guy who can get you tickets.
• 22:32
  Dayna Roselli: All right, tickets.
• 22:34
  Sean McAllister: Ready to feel that rumble.
• 22:35
  Dayna Roselli: Good.
• 22:36
  Dayna Roselli: I didn't want to pick up the phone and call.
• 22:40
  Sean McAllister: And Dana, I just want to note that uh in our uh conversation with Chris Powell, I don't know if um, you know, our listeners will be able to hear it, but there were jets flying by during our interview because the Las Vegas Motor Speedway is uh pretty close to Nellis Air Force Base, uh, you know, in the northern part of the Las Vegas Valley.
• 23:03
  Sean McAllister: And while we were sitting in in Chris's office, I could definitely hear those jets flying by.
• 23:08
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, yeah, I could too.
• 23:09
  Dayna Roselli: And like the walls were shaken.
• 23:10
  Dayna Roselli: It was cool.
• 23:10
  Dayna Roselli: It's a home to the Thunderbirds, if you didn't realize that, everyone.
• 23:14
  Dayna Roselli: So we have so much going on in Las Vegas.
• 23:16
  Dayna Roselli: It's such a great place.
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_01: It is.
• 23:17
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, we've already talked about, you know, a new show that opened, uh, NASCAR coming to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, all the activities for everyone.
• 23:25
  Dayna Roselli: Some of them free, some of them are ticket, but the weather's been beautiful.
• 23:29
  Dayna Roselli: And now we get to talk about a new show coming to the win.
• 23:32
  Dayna Roselli: We talked a long time ago during the pandemic about a show that had closed at the win, and it was La Rev.
• 23:39
  Dayna Roselli: Great show.
• 23:40
  Dayna Roselli: And involved water, a beautiful theater in the round.
• 23:44
  Dayna Roselli: And we always wondered what's going in there.
• 23:46
  Dayna Roselli: Well, now we know the answer.
• 23:48
  Dayna Roselli: You had mentioned last week or the week before that this show has really been hush hush, and it's called Awakening.
• 23:54
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, then the only thing really that had leaked out about what to expect from this show was the name Awakening.
• 24:05
  Sean McAllister: We did other than that, we knew absolutely nothing about what this show was going to be.
• 24:12
  Sean McAllister: We did know that there were a lot of renovations happening inside of the win theater where La Rev used to take place.
• 24:21
  Sean McAllister: And just to give you an idea of the theater, it is in the round.
• 24:24
  Sean McAllister: The stage is in the middle, uh, all of the seating is in a circle around the edges.
• 24:31
  Sean McAllister: Um, and it's a beautiful space.
• 24:34
  Sean McAllister: So we knew that that was going to have a refresh for this new production, but had no idea to the extent it was going to be renovated.
• 24:44
  Dayna Roselli: No.
• 24:45
  Dayna Roselli: And they're like, this was a lot of work.
• 24:48
  Dayna Roselli: We're excited about it.
• 24:49
  Dayna Roselli: Everyone's gonna be amazed.
• 24:52
  Dayna Roselli: Uh it's still in the round.
• 24:53
  Dayna Roselli: I was happy to hear that though.
• 24:55
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 24:55
  Dayna Roselli: Because we we liked that part about you know, part of it.
• 24:58
  Dayna Roselli: The water is gone from the La Rev show, but they're still using that center area.
• 25:04
  Dayna Roselli: There's so many statistics and factoids we learned that uh we're gonna run through them all.
• 25:10
  Dayna Roselli: But we sat down with Baz Halpin, Bernie Human, Michael Curry, all the producers of Awakening coming to the win.
• 25:20
  Dayna Roselli: And the way they described this and their passion for it and their vision as we had an intimate breakfast with them was we can't stop talking about it.
• 25:31
  Dayna Roselli: Like it was so interesting to hear their inside take of how this show was created.
• 25:36
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and just to um, you know, pause for a second and give you an idea of who uh uh the creative team is, Baz Helpin is the producer director.
• 25:46
  Sean McAllister: He uh I mean, kind of produced, created uh Katy Perry's residency show over at Resorts World, which is uh incredible.
• 25:58
  Sean McAllister: Uh he's done the Taylor Swift tour, he did uh Pink's Funhouse Tour, has been like so deeply involved in just about every facet of the entertainment industry.
• 26:12
  Sean McAllister: Uh Michael Curry is well known for doing large-scale puppetry.
• 26:18
  Sean McAllister: He did the puppetry for the Lion King on Broadway, which has you know traveled the country and the world and is visually breathtaking.
• 26:29
  Sean McAllister: Uh, he's done the puppetry for Olympic opening ceremonies and is also the person responsible for that lion that Katy Perry rode into the Super Bowl on back in 2015.
• 26:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 26:42
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, the resumes are incredible.
• 26:46
  Sean McAllister: Listen, we could sit here for an hour going through the resumes of all the people involved, but they are the who's who of live theater, music, Broadway, Hollywood.
• 27:00
  Sean McAllister: These are the it people.
• 27:03
  SPEAKER_04: The enormity of this project is hard to fathom and harder to put into words.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_05: You put the work in, you get the results.
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_05: And we put the work in.
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_05: And we're about to show the world what we've done.
• 27:18
  SPEAKER_04: Everybody on this show wants to leave their best work on the stage.
• 27:23
  SPEAKER_04: What's unique about Awakening is that we have the world's best storytellers.
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_05: It surely must be the most technically advanced show on the planet.
• 27:34
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and we sat across from Rick Gray, who is in charge of entertainment operations at the win.
• 27:42
  Dayna Roselli: He's the general manager, been there a long time, knows what he's doing, that's for sure.
• 27:48
  Dayna Roselli: And then Bass Halpin.
• 27:49
  Dayna Roselli: And we had so many questions for them.
• 27:52
  Dayna Roselli: I kept spewing out questions, and I feel like I'm just gonna kind of like go through my little list because I would be like, How many cast members are in the show?
• 28:00
  Dayna Roselli: And he was like, 60.
• 28:02
  Dayna Roselli: And I would get all the answers, and then I said, Well, how many crew members?
• 28:04
  Dayna Roselli: About a hundred.
• 28:05
  Dayna Roselli: And so 160 cast and crew in this show, which is a huge number.
• 28:11
  Sean McAllister: It's incredible.
• 28:13
  Dayna Roselli: Then he talked about what the sound system, right?
• 28:16
  Sean McAllister: Uh and the sound system in in here is going to be spectacular, is all that I can imagine, because they had to create it from scratch.
• 28:24
  Sean McAllister: What they wanted in this theater did not exist.
• 28:30
  Sean McAllister: So they worked with a world-renowned uh audio specialist to create what is now being called Win Sonic.
• 28:40
  Dayna Roselli: Isn't that cool?
• 28:41
  Sean McAllister: The Wynn created their own sound system.
• 28:44
  unknown: Yeah.
• 28:44
  Dayna Roselli: So there's 4,000 speakers in the theater.
• 28:49
  Dayna Roselli: They were saying it's the greatest sound bar none like ever in a theater.
• 28:54
  Sean McAllister: Why would with 4,000 speakers?
• 28:56
  Sean McAllister: I'd hope so.
• 28:57
  Sean McAllister: Jeez.
• 28:58
  Dayna Roselli: So that sounds incredible.
• 29:00
  Dayna Roselli: And by the way, I should backtrack real quick and say the show is narrated by Anthony Hopkins.
• 29:07
  Sean McAllister: I mean, an Oscar winner, you can't beat it.
• 29:10
  Dayna Roselli: Recognizable voice.
• 29:11
  Dayna Roselli: He's gonna it's gonna be so good, right?
• 29:13
  Dayna Roselli: And then to hear that voice crystal clear, I can't wait to see what they're gonna do with that.
• 29:17
  Dayna Roselli: So then we asked a little bit about the stage, and he went through this whole process.
• 29:23
  Dayna Roselli: Like, you know, obviously we're gonna have to see it, but the way he was describing it, he was saying, well, the stage is made of glass, it's three layers, it's uh sits on a structure made of colored glass, kind of like a sculpture.
• 29:35
  Dayna Roselli: Every section is a different shape.
• 29:37
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, yeah, by the way, there's a video screen on it.
• 29:39
  Dayna Roselli: It's like, I don't even know, it's blowing my mind.
• 29:42
  Dayna Roselli: We're like, what?
• 29:43
  Sean McAllister: By the way, glass bridges are going to be coming out of the walls, and things will be coming down from the ceiling, and uh it's just if you go to our Vegas revealed social media, you'll see the first footage that's been put out of Awakening over at Wynn Las Vegas.
• 30:02
  Sean McAllister: It's like combining the most spectacular elements of stage, screen, comics all into one show.
• 30:11
  Sean McAllister: And by the way, getting back to the stage, Dana, um, we're told that this is the most technologically advanced stage in the world.
• 30:20
  Dayna Roselli: Isn't that incredible?
• 30:22
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and they were saying, I mean, they want this show is going to be a show that you can only see in Las Vegas, by the way.
• 30:29
  Dayna Roselli: You know, that's the goal.
• 30:30
  Dayna Roselli: Like you gotta come to Las Vegas and see this show.
• 30:34
  Dayna Roselli: And when you say in the world, yeah, you can't go anywhere else to do that or to see this stage.
• 30:40
  Sean McAllister: And and something else is that I was struck by are the costumes in the show because they were very specific about the fact that they did not just want the kind of costumes that you would find on Broadway or the typical costumes that you would see in a theatrical production.
• 31:01
  Sean McAllister: They wanted couture level garments that people are also dancing in and doing stunts in, that kind of thing.
• 31:11
  Sean McAllister: But they said that that the wardrobe for this show could be off of any runway in Paris or Milan or New York.
• 31:21
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, man, they were there's so many nuggets.
• 31:24
  Dayna Roselli: I don't even know.
• 31:25
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, that.
• 31:27
  Dayna Roselli: And then how many casting calls that they went all and and we asked, you know, is a lot of the the performers are the I should say, a lot of the performers uh from around the world, and they said, no, this is different than La Rev and Cirque du Soleil.
• 31:39
  Dayna Roselli: We actually did casting calls all around the United States over and over and over again, and most of our cast members are from within America.
• 31:49
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and I know a lot are uh from Las Vegas as well, which is great.
• 31:54
  Sean McAllister: So Awakening uh is opening to the public really soon on November 7th.
• 32:00
  Dayna Roselli: Tickets are on sale now.
• 32:02
  Dayna Roselli: The show's 75 minutes, okay?
• 32:04
  Dayna Roselli: They say it's a perfect time.
• 32:06
  Dayna Roselli: There's gonna be two shows a night.
• 32:08
  Dayna Roselli: It's Tuesday through Saturday.
• 32:10
  Dayna Roselli: It'll be dark on Sunday and Monday.
• 32:13
  Dayna Roselli: It's gonna be spectacular.
• 32:15
  Dayna Roselli: Sean and I will be at the opening.
• 32:16
  Dayna Roselli: We can't wait to tell you more.
• 32:18
  Dayna Roselli: You know, it's a 1600-seat theater, so I expect once this gets out and once people see this, that they are gonna have no problem filling those seats.
• 32:30
  Dayna Roselli: It sounds incredible.
• 32:32
  Dayna Roselli: A conversation we had with them about kind of the eras of entertainment.
• 32:37
  Dayna Roselli: I feel like maybe we do we want to talk about that now, or maybe we save that this topic for another podcast.
• 32:42
  Sean McAllister: Let's save this topic because I feel like it's I feel like we could go on for yeah 15 minutes on it.
• 32:48
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 32:49
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, there's so many cool nuggets and pieces.
• 32:52
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 32:52
  Dayna Roselli: And it was interesting because as we were chatting with them, we were talking about the types of entertainment that have come and gone, the eras that we've been through.
• 32:58
  Sean McAllister: So we will Yeah, we'll put a pin in that.
• 33:01
  Dayna Roselli: Quickly wanted to mention I went to an incredible fundraiser at MGM Grand inside the Grand Garden Arena.
• 33:08
  Dayna Roselli: Shaq always has his huge gala for the Shack Foundation.
• 33:12
  Dayna Roselli: This year, man, it was a beautiful event as usual.
• 33:18
  Dayna Roselli: Um, also wanted to mention the concert that they had as part of this because a lot of people were looking at social media going, holy cow, they had some great people.
• 33:27
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, Marin Morris performed.
• 33:29
  Dayna Roselli: I'm a huge fan after seeing her live.
• 33:31
  Dayna Roselli: I've always liked her music, but I guess I just didn't, it didn't connect for me to ever see her live.
• 33:37
  Dayna Roselli: But wow, she's fantastic.
• 33:39
  Sean McAllister: She is.
• 33:39
  Sean McAllister: And I had just seen her the weekend before at the iHeartRadio Music Festival.
• 33:43
  Sean McAllister: And I'm same thing.
• 33:45
  Sean McAllister: Like, wow, she's great.
• 33:47
  Sean McAllister: She is great.
• 33:48
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that was a joy to see.
• 33:49
  Dayna Roselli: Pitbull came out and killed it as usual.
• 33:52
  Dayna Roselli: Pitbull just like raises the roof.
• 33:55
  Dayna Roselli: He is so much fun to watch perform live with his dancers, and you know, we fireballed and all that.
• 34:02
  SPEAKER_01: Fire fireballed.
• 34:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that was one of them.
• 34:08
  Dayna Roselli: That was great.
• 34:09
  Dayna Roselli: Her performed, she was fantastic, a little bit slower than some of the upbeat music.
• 34:14
  Dayna Roselli: But and then Maroon 5 and Adam Levine came out and performed, and it was a big deal.
• 34:18
  Dayna Roselli: It's made headlines because it was uh Adam Levine's first performance on stage since this whole direct message social media scandal, and you know, he's married and he was reaching out to other girls, and we don't really need to get into all that, but it was a headline.
• 34:34
  Sean McAllister: And by the way, Maroon Five also just announced a residency.
• 34:38
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 34:40
  Dayna Roselli: But his wife was there.
• 34:44
  Sean McAllister: Being his Vegas chaperone.
• 34:45
  unknown: Yeah.
• 34:47
  Dayna Roselli: Listen, um, no mentions of anything.
• 34:50
  Dayna Roselli: Even Joe McHale is the you know, yeah, host and comedian.
• 34:54
  Dayna Roselli: He introduced him.
• 34:55
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it was, you know, no mentions of anything.
• 34:59
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, it was there in Maroon 5, you know, hit after hit after hit.
• 35:03
  Dayna Roselli: It was actually a really good show.
• 35:04
  Dayna Roselli: It was fun.
• 35:05
  Dayna Roselli: Um, at one point, Shaq got up there and actually sang with Adam Levine.
• 35:09
  Dayna Roselli: So that was quite a moment.
• 35:10
  Dayna Roselli: I have that on my Instagram as well, if you want to see that.
• 35:13
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it's just a good time, great fundraiser, and a great cause.
• 35:17
  Dayna Roselli: Happy to be there.
• 35:18
  Dayna Roselli: They raised, uh, I don't know, at one point they were over, well over a million.
• 35:22
  Sean McAllister: Oh, geez.
• 35:23
  Sean McAllister: Isn't that incredible?
• 35:24
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 35:24
  Dayna Roselli: And it was the uh, they call it the the the Shack event.
• 35:28
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but the Shaquille O'Neal Foundation, if you want to get more information, you can go to ShackFoundation.org.
• 35:35
  Dayna Roselli: And they basically, you know, create pathways for underserved youth, help them, you know, achieve their full potential.
• 35:41
  Dayna Roselli: So I love that two weeks in a row we're talking about foundations that help at-risk youth.
• 35:47
  Dayna Roselli: So that's amazing.
• 35:48
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, if you don't know, there's a lot of philanthropy that happens here in Las Vegas.
• 35:53
  Sean McAllister: It's a very giving community.
• 35:55
  Sean McAllister: Um, it sounded like there were lots of hits on stage at that charity gala, and Rod Stewart is gonna continue to bring his hits to the stage at Caesars Coliseum, uh, adding 13 shows of his residency over there at Caesars Palace.
• 36:11
  Sean McAllister: The Rock Icon will be performing in May and November of 2023.
• 36:18
  Sean McAllister: So we'll look forward to having Rod back on stage.
• 36:20
  Dayna Roselli: And Ed Sheeran is coming to Allegiant Stadium.
• 36:23
  Dayna Roselli: I love this.
• 36:24
  Dayna Roselli: He's doing a huge tour and it's gonna stop here in Las Vegas.
• 36:27
  Dayna Roselli: It's not till September 9th of 2023, but heads up if you want to get tickets to see Ed Sheeran.
• 36:34
  Dayna Roselli: So that'll be uh definitely, I think, a sellout in no time.
• 36:38
  Sean McAllister: Now that you're up to date, let's get to tips.
• 36:40
  Dayna Roselli: All right, here we go.
• 36:46
  Sean McAllister: Dana, everyone loves a free attraction in Las Vegas, right?
• 36:51
  Sean McAllister: Yes.
• 36:51
  Sean McAllister: And they're kind of I won't say they're going by the wayside because we still have plenty of them, but like the pirate ships at Treasure Island have gone away.
• 37:02
  Sean McAllister: Um we've obviously talked about reports that the volcano in front of the Mirage will be going away once Hard Rock fully takes over that property.
• 37:13
  Sean McAllister: Uh, but one attraction that I'm not sure a lot of people know about is at an off-strip property called Sam's Town.
• 37:23
  Dayna Roselli: I had no idea when you told me about this.
• 37:25
  Dayna Roselli: And then you showed me video, and I was like, what?
• 37:27
  Dayna Roselli: This is like the coolest thing ever.
• 37:28
  Sean McAllister: Well, it's pretty cool, yeah.
• 37:30
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so I mean, I love this.
• 37:31
  Dayna Roselli: It's free, right?
• 37:32
  Sean McAllister: This is a free attraction uh over at Sam's Town in their hotel lobby atrium.
• 37:39
  Sean McAllister: They have what's called Mystic Falls.
• 37:42
  Sean McAllister: Okay.
• 37:42
  Sean McAllister: It's like this, they have so many trees.

  Sean McAllister: It feels like you're walking through a forest in their uh atrium, and you follow these pathways and get to this big mountain, this giant rock with waterfalls coming out of it.
• 37:59
  Sean McAllister: And at scheduled times in the evening, Mystic Falls comes alive, and there's a howling wolf on top, there's a grizzly bear that stands up and roars, there's a bald eagle, there's an owl that's hooting at you.
• 38:15
  Sean McAllister: And there is a fountain show, fountain and laser show that is it's kind of like a mini Bellagio Fountains.
• 38:24
  Dayna Roselli: It sounds great, and you said it's not even short, right?
• 38:27
  Dayna Roselli: It lasts a little while.
• 38:28
  Sean McAllister: It kind of goes, I mean, we went over Shane and I went over there, and there's a bar in the atrium, too.
• 38:34
  Sean McAllister: And we were like, you know what?
• 38:35
  Sean McAllister: Let's just go grab a drink.

  Dayna Roselli: And so Samstown is on the east side, Boulder Highway.
• 38:55
  Sean McAllister: Boulder Highway, right?
• 38:56
  Dayna Roselli: Right, yeah, and you know, it's a little off the beaten path, but not far from the Las Vegas Strip, or, you know, not far if you live on the east side.
• 39:05
  Dayna Roselli: Really, if you live in Henderson, it's close by too.
• 39:07
  Dayna Roselli: So this is an option.
• 39:09
  Dayna Roselli: Mystic Falls, free show over at Samstown.
• 39:12
  Dayna Roselli: I love it.
• 39:13
  Dayna Roselli: Tip number two, though, Sean, we're gonna stick at Sam's Town because why not?
• 39:17
  Dayna Roselli: And you told me about this, and I thought, okay, our listeners need to know because we love a good meal deal.
• 39:23
  Sean McAllister: We do.
• 39:24
  Sean McAllister: And uh in uh all clarity, I have not personally tried this meal deal yet.
• 39:32
  Sean McAllister: However, it is high on my to-do list.
• 39:35
  Sean McAllister: Uh, but it's a steak and lobster dinner for$19.99.
• 39:43
  Dayna Roselli: What?
• 39:44
  Sean McAllister: That's like old Vegas prices.
• 39:46

  Sean McAllister: Now, they offer this at TGI Fridays inside of Samstown from 3 to 6 p.m.
• 39:59
  Sean McAllister: and then again from 10 p.m.
• 40:02
  Sean McAllister: to 1 a.m.
• 40:04
  Sean McAllister: So if you're an early bird or a night owl when it comes to your meals, when it comes to your dinner, this one put it on your to-do list.
• 40:14
  Dayna Roselli: So is it like because TGI Fridays is like a chain.
• 40:16

• 40:27
  Sean McAllister: I've never seen that uh on any Friday's menu.
• 40:30
  Dayna Roselli: This is great.
