• 1:49
  Sean McAllister: Let's get going and spin that wheel.
• 2:05
  Sean McAllister: And you know, Dana, it is uh that time of year when I think we have officially uh used up our quota of spring days.
• 2:14
  Sean McAllister: Like those nice mild days that are right in the mid-range.
• 2:18
  Sean McAllister: We've used them up and now it's just hot.
• 2:20
  Dayna Roselli: I know we've got a big streak coming up, right?
• 2:22
  Dayna Roselli: Like uh high 80s or low 90s.
• 2:25
  Dayna Roselli: I look forward to it.
• 2:26
  Dayna Roselli: It looks like there's a slight teeny little cooldown again next week, but that's about it.
• 2:30
  Dayna Roselli: And then I have a feeling we're just gonna coast right into summer.
• 2:32
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, already setting records this early in March, which is insane.
• 2:38
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 2:38
  Dayna Roselli: Is it early in March?
• 2:39
  Dayna Roselli: What date?
• 2:40
  Dayna Roselli: No, it's not, is it?
• 2:41
  Dayna Roselli: End of March.
• 2:42
  Dayna Roselli: It's late March, early April.
• 2:43
  Dayna Roselli: The months are whizzing by, right?
• 2:45
  Sean McAllister: I tell you what, March is just has just gone by in a flash.
• 2:49
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 2:50
  Dayna Roselli: You know, those social media memories that come up all the time.
• 2:52
  Dayna Roselli: You and I were just talking about how a lot of the memories are coming up from two years ago this time, during the heart of COVID when we were in the shutdown.
• 3:00
  Dayna Roselli: And when we were home doing those live streams and interviewing people that were trying to sell their products online and people that were trying to help out in the community and making masks, and it's like, wow, I mean, I don't know.
• 3:12
  Dayna Roselli: It seems like a long time ago, yet it seems like yesterday, yet it almost seems like it never happened, but it did happen.
• 3:19
  Dayna Roselli: It's a weird feeling.
• 3:20
  Sean McAllister: Well, and it's such uh such a uh in opposition to the way the strip is right now.
• 3:28
  Sean McAllister: I know because we were just out on the strip last night, which we're gonna talk about in a little bit for uh Silksonic over at Park MGM, and I mean the strip was packed, it's been packed, but two years ago exactly at this time, every casino was shut down, the doors were locked, there was were zero cars on the strip.
• 3:52
  Sean McAllister: And remember, it was that period of time where people were taking bike rides up and down the Las Vegas strip because nobody could go to work, nobody had anything to do except take a bike ride on the empty Las Vegas Boulevard.
• 4:07
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 4:08
  Dayna Roselli: That was, yeah, that was that was a time, and that's when the scooters made a comeback and everyone was scooting down the strip.
• 4:14
  Dayna Roselli: Uh I did like one long walk on the strip, I remember, and that was cool.
• 4:18
  Dayna Roselli: And I was thinking, like, this will probably, well, no, hopefully, will never happen again.
• 4:21
  Sean McAllister: I know, I know.
• 4:22
  Dayna Roselli: Right?
• 4:23
  Sean McAllister: No.
• 4:23
  Dayna Roselli: But speaking of COVID, uh, we did get a uh press release.
• 4:27
  Dayna Roselli: We get a lot of the information in the news releases from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
• 4:32
  Dayna Roselli: And I know people that are going to come to Vegas like to know where does COVID stand in Las Vegas?
• 4:37
  Dayna Roselli: And just wanted to let you know there's a new central location where you can get a COVID test.
• 4:42
  Dayna Roselli: It's a testing center.
• 4:44
  Dayna Roselli: Apparently, it did open in January, but they want people to know it's there and it's uh operating in full throttle.
• 4:52
  Dayna Roselli: So if you have concerns or you need to maybe go to a trade show or you're going into a convention, or you need to get a COVID test before you get on a plane, you can utilize this.
• 5:01
  Dayna Roselli: And it's at Las Vegas Boulevard and Elvis Presley Boulevard.
• 5:04
  Dayna Roselli: So it's kind of like right across from Resorts World.
• 5:07
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 5:07
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, at the site that was formerly the Riviera.
• 5:10
  Sean McAllister: Oh, okay.
• 5:10
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, right next to the new convention center.
• 5:12
  Dayna Roselli: So it's a centralized location and uh apparently it's uh good access for international visitors who are requiring uh testing before leaving.
• 5:21
  Dayna Roselli: Um, they recommend that you make an appointment, but you can walk in too.
• 5:25
  Dayna Roselli: Just be prepared.
• 5:26
  Dayna Roselli: There might be a little line if you go at a certain busy time.
• 5:29
  Dayna Roselli: But I'm gonna say the website right now for you to make an appointment, and maybe you want to write this down if you're coming to Las Vegas.
• 5:37
  Dayna Roselli: It's obviously www and then it's umcsn.com backslash convention.
• 5:46
  Dayna Roselli: Because this is actually being like um put on and is kind of a partnership with University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, which is our big hospital here.
• 5:54
  Sean McAllister: And the the test results, you do need to plan ahead, you know, for your own agenda if you are planning to go get those tests, because the results can take up to 24 hours to come back.
• 6:06
  Sean McAllister: So just keep that in mind, especially if you need the the test results for travel.
• 6:11
  Dayna Roselli: Right, exactly.
• 6:12
  Dayna Roselli: And then I noticed the USPS, a US Postal Service.
• 6:15
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so if you're in America, is offering more free tests.
• 6:19
  Dayna Roselli: So if you have your batch already that came and you haven't used them, we don't know when you might need to use them, or maybe you have a neighbor or friend that needs one.
• 6:28
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, I just went on and ordered more because it's free, why not?
• 6:31
  Dayna Roselli: So FYI, they are doing another push for that.
• 6:34
  Dayna Roselli: If you want to order more, they come right to your house, put them away and keep them for hopefully a rainy day.
• 6:39
  Dayna Roselli: Hopefully you won't need them.
• 6:40
  Dayna Roselli: But if you need to go somewhere where maybe even a dinner party or something where people are requiring people to check before they come over, something to have in the house.
• 6:48
  Dayna Roselli: So why not?
• 6:48
  Sean McAllister: I know we have four boxes sitting in the drawer in the kitchen.
• 6:52
  Sean McAllister: So we're set, we're ready to swab whenever it's necessary.
• 6:56
  Dayna Roselli: I know, but maybe we'll thank ourselves as some other, you know, I hope not, spike comes about or whatever, and then we have the tests available.
• 7:04
  Dayna Roselli: Let's hope that doesn't happen, please.
• 7:06
  Sean McAllister: No, no, let's let those boxes go stale.
• 7:09
  Dayna Roselli: Oh no.
• 7:10
  Dayna Roselli: All right, so now you know where to go if you need a test in Las Vegas.
• 7:14
  Sean McAllister: And you know, Dana, I think all of the testing that's been going on has left the door open for us to go see Bruno Mars in Silksonic.
• 7:26
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my gosh, what a show, right?
• 7:28
  Sean McAllister: Oh my gosh, that was just like the most funkadelic, like suave, like sexy, it was an experience from another era.
• 7:41
  Dayna Roselli: I was saying I was waiting for the solid gold dancers to come out.
• 7:44
  Sean McAllister: Yes, that show.
• 7:45
  Sean McAllister: Well, I think that you coined their dancers, which they didn't really have dancers, but you said that they could be the silksonic gold dancers.
• 7:54
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly, exactly.
• 7:55
  Dayna Roselli: You know what, Charlotte, I'm gonna have you explain Silksonic, because still, when we were going with some friends and we were around people or we were telling people we were going, they're going, well, what's Silksonic?
• 8:05
  Dayna Roselli: And that was something that at first about two months ago we had to figure out.
• 8:10
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 8:11
  Dayna Roselli: I don't want to say it's confusing, but it's Bruno Mars, but they're like, Well, I don't yeah, so you explain it.
• 8:16
  Dayna Roselli: You're good at explaining it.
• 8:17
  Sean McAllister: So Bruno Mars, he has his solo career as a solo artist where he puts out his own albums, tours on his own, puts on his own residency show here in Las Vegas.
• 8:30
  Sean McAllister: In addition to his solo music, Bruno also performs with a group called Silksonic with a Grammy-winning uh rapper, Anderson Pack.
• 8:41
  Sean McAllister: They've teamed up, they put this group together, uh phenomenal musicians, singers, just and dancers too, by the way.
• 8:51
  Sean McAllister: When we were watching uh Silksonic perform, I I was thinking, I was like, oh my god, it's almost like watching like the Jackson 5 back in the day.
• 9:03
  Dayna Roselli: Agree.
• 9:03
  Dayna Roselli: With the dancing and the micro the microphone stand with all of them at a microphone stand and kind of moving the same way and sliding across the floor.
• 9:12
  Sean McAllister: And it had like the Motown vibe, but mixed with kind of a 70s sexy feel, but still very current too.
• 9:22
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 9:22
  Dayna Roselli: So we were all going in going, well, I don't know all the silk sonic music.
• 9:26
  Dayna Roselli: I know leave the door open, but then we played a couple of songs, like, oh, these sound good, but we all enjoyed ourselves so much.
• 9:33
  Dayna Roselli: It didn't matter that we did, the songs were just that good, right?
• 9:36
  Dayna Roselli: Like I felt like, and he mixed in Bruno mixed in a couple of his hits.
• 9:39
  Dayna Roselli: Yep.
• 9:40
  Dayna Roselli: And Anderson, I think, did one of his too.
• 9:42
  Dayna Roselli: Um, Bruno played the drums, the crystals, or whatever on their suits, and the silky white shirts and the gold chains.
• 9:50
  Dayna Roselli: It was amazing.
• 9:52
  Sean McAllister: And and people in the audience came dressed for the occasion too.
• 9:56
  Sean McAllister: I mean, there were outfits that were right in that era of, you know, the 70s funkadelic kind of kind of vibe.
• 10:05
  Sean McAllister: But if you haven't heard Silksonic, look up their music on wherever you get music, and just take a listen.
• 10:13
  Sean McAllister: It really is great music.
• 10:15
  Sean McAllister: We're we downloaded music on the way home.
• 10:18
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 10:18
  Sean McAllister: Just because we had songs that were running through our heads, and we were like, this is good.
• 10:23
  Sean McAllister: We need it in the rotation.
• 10:24
  Dayna Roselli: Totally.
• 10:24
  Dayna Roselli: And Bruno sounded amazing, just effortless.
• 10:27
  Dayna Roselli: I felt like he was just effortless.
• 10:29
  Dayna Roselli: I've never seen him that close up.
• 10:30
  Dayna Roselli: I saw him at the Rock and Rio do like a few songs, but it was a festival ground, and I was way back.
• 10:35
  Dayna Roselli: So, like, this was I mean, literally, I was looking at him like it's like no effort.
• 10:40
  Dayna Roselli: He is just so talented.
• 10:42
  Sean McAllister: Smooth as silk.
• 10:42
  Sean McAllister: Smooth as silk.
• 10:44
  Sean McAllister: And we do not have any pictures or video of the show because phones are not allowed, which we're going to go into in just a minute.
• 10:52
  Sean McAllister: Um, but that's why you haven't seen any pictures or videos of the show on our Vegas Revealed social platforms.
• 11:00
  Dayna Roselli: You saw a group picture of us in front of the sign.
• 11:03
  Sean McAllister: Outside of the theater.
• 11:04
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 11:06
  Dayna Roselli: Um, yeah, the show was was really fabulous.
• 11:09
  Dayna Roselli: First of all, the set's incredible.
• 11:11
  Dayna Roselli: The lights and the 70s-ish set, and then I love the monitors on the side and then the big screen in the back.
• 11:17
  Dayna Roselli: So no matter where you're looking, you can see the show.
• 11:20
  Dayna Roselli: The place was packed.
• 11:21
  Dayna Roselli: It was a Wednesday night at a nine o'clock, which I thought, oh, they're gonna have trouble getting people in there.
• 11:26
  Dayna Roselli: No, the whole I looked up, the whole, every seat was taken.
• 11:29
  Sean McAllister: There were no empty seats.
• 11:30
  Dayna Roselli: It was amazing.
• 11:31
  Dayna Roselli: And while you look at these screens, sometimes they take a shot of the audience.
• 11:36
  Dayna Roselli: They do.
• 11:36
  Dayna Roselli: And you caught on right away that they took a shot of the backstreet boys that were there.
• 11:42
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it was like hold on a second.
• 11:44
  Sean McAllister: Those guys look familiar.
• 11:45
  Sean McAllister: That's the backstreet boys.
• 11:47
  Sean McAllister: They were out in the audience, they were grooving, dancing to the music, singing along.
• 11:52
  Sean McAllister: And then not long after we saw the backstreet boys pop up, there was uh another person who popped up on the screen, and it was late night host James Corden.
• 12:02
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 12:03
  Dayna Roselli: And I missed it.
• 12:04
  Dayna Roselli: I was like, what?
• 12:05
  Dayna Roselli: And then you showed me where he was sitting.
• 12:06
  Dayna Roselli: I was like, oh, okay, yeah, that's James.
• 12:08
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, so he was there.
• 12:09
  Dayna Roselli: We don't know if he was in town just for the heck of it, or if he's doing some Grammy preview stuff, some carpool karaoke.
• 12:14
  Dayna Roselli: Maybe he's doing something with the Backstreet Boys because they're starting their tour.
• 12:17
  Sean McAllister: Could be.
• 12:18
  Dayna Roselli: Like, could be doing a segment with them because I know they've been in full rehearsals.
• 12:21
  Dayna Roselli: Uh Nick Carter keeps showing that on his Instagram.
• 12:24
  Dayna Roselli: The three that are at a studio or to his house or whatever, and they have shows coming up at the Coliseum at Caesars Palace.
• 12:30
  Dayna Roselli: So, yeah, so who knows?
• 12:31
  Dayna Roselli: But they were all there in an area together.
• 12:33
  Dayna Roselli: Looked like they were having fun and enjoying the show, and like, why not go see Silksonic, right?
• 12:39
  Sean McAllister: So we like to say that was our big night out with the Backstreet Boys, James Corden, and Bruno Mars.
• 12:45
  Sean McAllister: Bruno Mars and Anderson Pach.
• 12:47
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 12:47
  Dayna Roselli: You know, it's a big deal.
• 12:49
  Dayna Roselli: That's how we do it.
• 12:50
  Dayna Roselli: Um, let's talk about the phones, though.
• 12:51
  Dayna Roselli: I thought that was um interesting.
• 12:53
  Dayna Roselli: I've done that before once for Chris Rock.
• 12:55
  Dayna Roselli: I told you that.
• 12:56
  Dayna Roselli: And it was, you know, I've obviously said Chris Rock is a comedian where you lock up your phone.
• 13:00
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and uh, we had to do it for Bruno.
• 13:02
  Dayna Roselli: Seems like I haven't done that in about three years, so it seems like they definitely have it down where it moved a lot faster.
• 13:10
  Sean McAllister: When I went to the street, the system, yeah, they just move people through there.
• 13:13
  Dayna Roselli: Chris Rock, it was all backed up.
• 13:15
  Dayna Roselli: It was like when they it was at the very beginning of when they started doing uh things like that, and the artist started, some select artists started to decide to do that.
• 13:23
  Dayna Roselli: So that was a little bit of a mess that night.
• 13:25
  Sean McAllister: This was smooth as silk.
• 13:28
  Sean McAllister: It was from top to bottom.
• 13:30
  Sean McAllister: Uh and you know, people always ask, or like, well, is it gonna be a huge pain if I need to lock up my phone?
• 13:39
  Sean McAllister: And you know, when you don't have access to your phone, sometimes people go into withdrawal because they're like, Oh, I can't check everything.
• 13:46
  Sean McAllister: I can't stay on top of things.
• 13:48
  Sean McAllister: What if something happens and I can't access my phone?
• 13:52
  Sean McAllister: Well, it's not like it's been poured in a block of concrete and you can never and you have to chisel it out.
• 13:59
  Sean McAllister: No, it's just in this bag that has like a magnetic lock on it.
• 14:04
  Sean McAllister: You can leave your phone on vibrate, so you know, as you're holding the pouch, you get to keep the pouch with you at all times.
• 14:13
  Sean McAllister: If you feel your phone vibrating and you feel like you need to check it, all you have to do is leave the theater, go out into the casino area, they'll unlock the pouch, let you use your phone, and then you can go back inside.
• 14:27
  Sean McAllister: But while you are in the theater premise, even in the lobby, you are not allowed to have your phone out of that pouch.
• 14:34
  Sean McAllister: But it you're not completely disconnected from the world.
• 14:36
  Dayna Roselli: No.
• 14:37
  Dayna Roselli: And like I have a Fitbit that buzzes and stuff when there's a call or something, or that's a luxury that I have that I if it went off, uh, but I didn't get any texts that night, so I was clear, nobody was calling me on Wednesday night after nine o'clock.
• 14:48
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but uh It's because I was sitting right next to you.
• 14:51
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly, exactly.
• 14:52
  Dayna Roselli: But no, this woman on my Facebook, you know, totally get it.
• 14:55
  Dayna Roselli: She said it's not for me.
• 14:56
  Dayna Roselli: I need my phone on in case of an emergency.
• 14:58
  Dayna Roselli: And like I get it, but what I said to her is like, like you can, like you're saying, it's not like it's you can feel it.
• 15:04
  Dayna Roselli: Or um, you know, another point is before we had phones, we all survived and we went to shows and we did things and we didn't have a phone.
• 15:12
  Dayna Roselli: But I get it.
• 15:13
  Dayna Roselli: And of course, if your situation is different, you have young kids, you have a father or mother that's homesick, of course, all that is important and you have to make the decision that's best for you.
• 15:24
  Dayna Roselli: But I think, I mean, the enjoyment of not seeing phones in the air.
• 15:29
  Sean McAllister: Yes.
• 15:30
  Dayna Roselli: And my friend Melissa that was with me said, Do you, gosh, after every song, the crowd is roaring?
• 15:34
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm like, they are because it's a good show, but also I think because we're focused.
• 15:39
  Sean McAllister: And paying attention, yeah.
• 15:40
  Dayna Roselli: Paying attention and we're like, wow, that was great.
• 15:43
  Dayna Roselli: I love how that ended.
• 15:44
  Dayna Roselli: And even before the show started, we sat in there for a little bit.
• 15:47
  Dayna Roselli: And normally, let's be honest, if we were sitting there, me, you, Shane, Melissa, we'd talk for a minute and then we'd probably get on our phones and see what's going on on Twitter, or we'd check our email or look at Instagram.
• 15:59
  Dayna Roselli: And because we couldn't, I could tell we were all sitting there, like, what should we talk about now?
• 16:04
  Dayna Roselli: Because we had already just gone to dinner.
• 16:06
  Dayna Roselli: But we were like, okay, hey, have you guys seen Inventing Anna on Netflix?
• 16:09
  Dayna Roselli: And then we had a whole thing.
• 16:10
  Dayna Roselli: But like it it helped us like have conversations.
• 16:13
  Dayna Roselli: It did.
• 16:14
  unknown: It did.
• 16:14
  Dayna Roselli: It did.
• 16:15
  Dayna Roselli: So that was that was good too.
• 16:17
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, as soon as you leave, they unlock it and you're good to go.
• 16:20
  Dayna Roselli: It was fine.
• 16:21
  Dayna Roselli: And I get it.
• 16:22
  Dayna Roselli: And I don't know, there is a mystique about the show.
• 16:25
  Dayna Roselli: It's mystique wanting to go, so it it could work.
• 16:29
  Dayna Roselli: It could work.
• 16:29
  Dayna Roselli: It works.
• 16:30
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I mean, it definitely did not have an impact on filling up the theater on a Wednesday night at 9 p.m.
• 16:37
  Sean McAllister: So people were still in there.
• 16:40
  Sean McAllister: Uh among the people who were in there, Dana, we saw a lot of kids at the show, like young kids.
• 16:46
  Dayna Roselli: Right, right.
• 16:47
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, little boy right in front of us was dressed to the nines in his shirt and tie.
• 16:52
  Sean McAllister: Oh my gosh.
• 16:53
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my gosh, and his cute little chubby cheeks.
• 16:55
  Dayna Roselli: He was standing on his seat the whole time with his hands in the air.
• 16:58
  Dayna Roselli: He just loves Bruno.
• 16:59
  Sean McAllister: What do you think?
• 17:00
  Sean McAllister: He was like five?
• 17:01
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I had like five, six, maybe seven.
• 17:03
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 17:04
  Dayna Roselli: Um he was just on cloud nine being there.
• 17:08
  Dayna Roselli: And I love to see his energy and his excitement for Silksonic.
• 17:12
  Dayna Roselli: He loved it.
• 17:13
  Dayna Roselli: He we kept looking at each other.
• 17:15
  Dayna Roselli: We were like, oh, our heart.
• 17:16
  Dayna Roselli: Like it was so cute.
• 17:18
  Sean McAllister: It was.
• 17:18
  Sean McAllister: That was adorable.
• 17:19
  Sean McAllister: There was when we were walking in, uh, you know, the Usher was showing us to our seats, and there was a woman who came up to another usher right next to us, and she said, Hey, um, I need booster seats for my kids.
• 17:33
  Sean McAllister: And the usher was like, Yeah, we don't have those.
• 17:36
  Sean McAllister: I know, yeah.
• 17:37
  Dayna Roselli: Let's not go to that extreme.
• 17:38
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 17:38
  Sean McAllister: Just keep in mind, if you are going to bring your kids to a Vegas show, um, it's not a Chili's.
• 17:47
  Sean McAllister: They're not going to have a booster seat for your kids.
• 17:49
  Dayna Roselli: Although I do love me some chilies.
• 17:51
  Sean McAllister: I mean, listen, if you're going to Chili's, yeah, you get a booster seat.
• 17:56
  Sean McAllister: But if you're going to a Vegas residency show, exactly that's not how it we roll.
• 18:01
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 18:02
  Sean McAllister: That's kind of like an adult thing designed for adults.
• 18:05
  Sean McAllister: Exactly.
• 18:05
  Sean McAllister: You want to bring your kids, just realize they're going into an adult environment.
• 18:10
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 18:10
  Dayna Roselli: But you know, and it was kid friendly.
• 18:12
  Dayna Roselli: There was, it was a very clean show.
• 18:13
  Sean McAllister: It was.
• 18:14
  Sean McAllister: Right?
• 18:14
  Dayna Roselli: Like compared to some.
• 18:15
  Dayna Roselli: There's some people that throw in, you know, an occasional F-bomb or occasional risque image that comes up or whatever, and it didn't wasn't like that at all.
• 18:23
  Sean McAllister: So that was I think there was one, I think there's one song that is labeled with like explicit lyrics.
• 18:31
  Sean McAllister: Um, and I think it's the 777, right?
• 18:34
  Sean McAllister: Vegas song.
• 18:34
  Sean McAllister: Of course.
• 18:35
  Sean McAllister: Um, but uh they performed it.
• 18:38
  Sean McAllister: I mean, it wasn't I didn't even pick up on any any swear words or anything like that.
• 18:44
  Sean McAllister: So me either.
• 18:45
  Dayna Roselli: Something I did want to mention was uh uh it was my first time being in the theater at Park MGM since it's changed over to Dolby Live, okay.
• 18:54
  Dayna Roselli: The new name and the new sound system.
• 18:58
  Dayna Roselli: Holy cow, I am not one that picks up on that stuff too much, like sound quality and all that.
• 19:03
  Dayna Roselli: But like this show, first of all, now I'm like, okay, I get it.
• 19:08
  Dayna Roselli: Because I was like, oh, Dolby Live, you know, does it in the name?
• 19:11
  Dayna Roselli: What does it really mean?
• 19:13
  Dayna Roselli: But the sound of this show was crystal clear, remarkable.
• 19:17
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know, it just sounded so good.
• 19:20
  Dayna Roselli: I kept looking at my friend, going, This sounds so good.
• 19:23
  Dayna Roselli: And then I was like, oh, you know, Dolby Live and maybe that has something to do with it.
• 19:28
  Dayna Roselli: But it was, I just love the experience.
• 19:31
  Dayna Roselli: That theater, I don't know, I feel like it's a major upgrade.
• 19:34
  Sean McAllister: It is, yeah, it is.
• 19:35
  Sean McAllister: And I mean, when the theater over at Park MGM was built, it is still a pretty new theater.
• 19:43
  Sean McAllister: It was, you know, designed with some of the latest technology, but with Dolby coming in and having, you know, uh an entire company that that designs sound environments, right?
• 19:58
  Sean McAllister: You know, that only adds to the entire experience.
• 20:02
  Sean McAllister: And uh the overall experience from getting in and out of the theater to uh the everything, it was just so uh good.
• 20:13
  Sean McAllister: The concert experience, the the ushers were all so nice, the it was great.
• 20:18
  Sean McAllister: I love it over there.
• 20:19
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I really, I really did enjoy it.
• 20:21
  Dayna Roselli: I I left very happy and telling people about it today was it was great overall.
• 20:26
  Dayna Roselli: So if you get a chance, go see Silksonic.
• 20:29
  Dayna Roselli: They have another run coming up, I think a couple dates in April, and then a longer run in May.
• 20:35
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 20:35
  Sean McAllister: And listen, if you're you know looking for some baby making music, this is the stuff that babies are made from.
• 20:46
  Dayna Roselli: Oh man, that's true.
• 20:48
  Dayna Roselli: That's true.
• 20:48
  Dayna Roselli: It was great.
• 20:49
  Dayna Roselli: And that Anderson Pac, he was funny.
• 20:53
  Dayna Roselli: Melissa was saying on the way home, he was kind of a little bit of a comedian almost, it seems like, right?
• 20:58
  Sean McAllister: His actions on stage his wig that he was wearing.
• 21:03
  Sean McAllister: He just kept like making gestures and it was they are an incredible showman pair.
• 21:14
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, they really are.
• 21:15
  Dayna Roselli: We really are.
• 21:16
  Dayna Roselli: All right, so much fun there.
• 21:18
  Dayna Roselli: Let's switch gears to Italy now.
• 21:19
  Dayna Roselli: We went there for dinner before.
• 21:23
  Sean McAllister: And if you don't know what Italy is, it's almost like an Italian uh street market that is attached to the front of a park MGM.
• 21:33
  Sean McAllister: It's a pretty big complex.
• 21:35
  Sean McAllister: It is indoors, but it's a big glass uh enclosed uh building.
• 21:41
  Sean McAllister: Um and there's different uh food kiosks that you go to.
• 21:46
  Sean McAllister: There's uh you know, the state kiosk, the fresh seafood, the pasta, the meatballs, the flatbreads, there's the Aperol Spritz bar, there's different wine bars, uh they have a gelato stand, they have fresh can.
• 22:01
  Sean McAllister: They have artisan breads.
• 22:03
  Sean McAllister: I'm just getting hungry already all over again thinking about it.
• 22:06
  Dayna Roselli: Well, and it's one of your favorite places because we've talked about it on Chaos Podcasts, but you're always discovering new stuff.
• 22:12
  Sean McAllister: And well, that's the great thing about it, is there are so many things to discover there.
• 22:18
  Sean McAllister: Because when you go, you're not gonna go and get things from five different kiosks from five different food stations.
• 22:27
  Sean McAllister: So each time you go, it's like a new dining experience, which is great.
• 22:33
  Sean McAllister: And when we went, it was a beautiful night outside.
• 22:36
  Sean McAllister: We're like, oh, it would be great to find patio dining somewhere before the show.
• 22:41
  Sean McAllister: And we discovered that there is a little wine bar over in the kind of front corner, the front right corner of Italy, that has a little outdoor patio dining that you can only access from the inside.
• 22:58
  Sean McAllister: Uh and I feel like a lot of people don't know about it.
• 23:00
  Dayna Roselli: No, and you even asked, like, can we just take our food and drink and sit out there?
• 23:04
  Dayna Roselli: He's like, Yeah, it's just kind of first come, first serve.
• 23:06
  Dayna Roselli: You don't have to get anything from specifically right here.
• 23:09
  Dayna Roselli: It's just open to whoever.
• 23:11
  Dayna Roselli: So we said, Sean, save a spot.
• 23:14
  Sean McAllister: So I sat there for a long time with my glass of wine.
• 23:17
  Sean McAllister: But yeah, it's uh kind of like a little wine market that's in the in the corner of Italy.
• 23:22
  Sean McAllister: And uh if you sit inside at the tables, you need to order wine from that specific wine bar, but the tables outside, they're open seating.
• 23:33
  Dayna Roselli: Because of convenience, you just said, I'll order me and Shane's wine, and you guys, and then me, Shane, and Melissa went up to order food, and we were in the pasta line and put our order in.
• 23:43
  Dayna Roselli: I came back and I said, Okay, we're waiting for our food.
• 23:47
  Dayna Roselli: Um, how's the wine?
• 23:48
  Dayna Roselli: You were like, good, but it was a bit pricey down there, which was fine because you loved the wine.
• 23:54
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 23:54
  Dayna Roselli: You said it was tasty delicious wine, but it was$35 a glass.
• 23:59
  Sean McAllister: It was$35 a glass.
• 24:00
  Dayna Roselli: I was like, okay, whoa.
• 24:03
  Dayna Roselli: So I went in on the hunt to find a cheaper wine area.
• 24:07
  Dayna Roselli: And I did.
• 24:08
  Dayna Roselli: I got uh Melissa and I a glass for$15 each.
• 24:10
  Dayna Roselli: I had a rose, she had a cab.
• 24:12
  Dayna Roselli: So kind of a tip to do with that.
• 24:15
  Dayna Roselli: Listen, if you're into expensive wines, go, you know, search for that in there.
• 24:20
  Dayna Roselli: But if you want something a little bit more reasonable, you can go to it's available.
• 24:24
  Dayna Roselli: It's available.
• 24:25
  Dayna Roselli: Just go to make sure you just check the price and go to different spots first.
• 24:28
  Dayna Roselli: And that's the cool thing about Italy, is there's every price point wherever you go.
• 24:32
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and we did check the price on uh because that bottle of wine is for sale in that wine market.
• 24:39
  Sean McAllister: Oh I think it was uh an$85 bottle of wine.
• 24:45
  Dayna Roselli: Wow.
• 24:45
  Sean McAllister: So, you know, they were eight ounce pour.
• 24:48
  Sean McAllister: It was a hefty pour.
• 24:48
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it was a hefty pour.
• 24:49
  Sean McAllister: I'll tell you that, but you know, it's still$35 for a glass of wine.
• 24:54
  Dayna Roselli: We ate and we finished ours, and we're like ready for another.
• 24:56
  Dayna Roselli: And you guys were like still halfway, or like we're slowly sipping.
• 24:59
  Sean McAllister: There's still$17 left in this glass.
• 25:03
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, uh, the pasta was great.
• 25:05
  Dayna Roselli: They make the pasta.
• 25:06
  Dayna Roselli: It takes a little longer, so be prepared to you have to be patient.
• 25:10
  Dayna Roselli: It was busy there, uh, and there were lines, okay?
• 25:13
  Dayna Roselli: So you have to be in the mood to do that.
• 25:15
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but I was talking to the bartender at the bar that I got the wine, and he said it is busy before shows and before like hockey games and big concerts at T-Mobile.
• 25:27
  Dayna Roselli: But other than that, it's a little bit more reasonable and thinned out, not the lines aren't as long and it's not as packed other times.
• 25:34
  Dayna Roselli: So it depends what you're in the mood for.
• 25:36
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 25:37
  Dayna Roselli: So if you want to go and hop around and not wait in line, go on a day that there isn't a show or a game.
• 25:43
  Dayna Roselli: And if you're ready to be part of the vibe, you know, get there early and be prepared to wait a little bit.
• 25:48
  Sean McAllister: But it is a cool, unique vibe.
• 25:50
  Sean McAllister: And the reason that you do have to wait a little bit is that uh it's not like a fast food place where there's uh a big vat of pasta that's already cooked with sauce on it.
• 26:01
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 26:02
  Sean McAllister: Uh they're making everything to order.
• 26:03
  Sean McAllister: It's all fresh noodles.
• 26:05
  Sean McAllister: The flatbreads are being hand-tossed and put in the oven right in front of you as you order it.
• 26:11
  Sean McAllister: So that's why it takes a little bit of time, but it tastes so good.
• 26:17
  Dayna Roselli: We had a nice it's like light.
• 26:19
  Sean McAllister: The pasta is light, isn't it?
• 26:21
  Dayna Roselli: So good.
• 26:22
  Dayna Roselli: It really was delicious.
• 26:23
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 26:24
  Dayna Roselli: Uh great time at Italy before Silksonic.
• 26:28
  Dayna Roselli: All right, let's talk about some other restaurants now.
• 26:32
  Sean McAllister: Yes, Gordon Ramsey is opening his sixth Las Vegas restaurant.
• 26:37
  Sean McAllister: It's called Ramsay's Kitchen.
• 26:39
  Sean McAllister: It's set to open at Harris, Las Vegas, coming up this fall.
• 26:43
  Sean McAllister: Uh, and it's kind of based on the whole concept, it's based on uh Gordon's own kitchen.
• 26:48
  Sean McAllister: It's gonna have his own a new twist on some of his signature dishes.
• 26:53
  Sean McAllister: Um, plus, there's like a a raw bar, there's soups and salads, lots of lots of stuff.
• 26:59
  Sean McAllister: He opened one in Boston and now has one opening here at Harris.
• 27:04
  Dayna Roselli: Well, we've seen him trend on TikTok when he's making some dishes in his kitchen, haven't we?
• 27:07
  Sean McAllister: We have.
• 27:08
  Sean McAllister: We certainly have.
• 27:09
  Dayna Roselli: So it should be a fun place.
• 27:11
  Dayna Roselli: Um Maple's barbecue's coming back.
• 27:13
  Dayna Roselli: We told you the Palms is reopening this spring, and we'll have more details as we get more details on the hotel resort uh casino as as a whole, but we are finding out more and more about like some of the places that are going to reopen, some of the additions.
• 27:28
  Dayna Roselli: We told you Ghost Bar will be back.
• 27:30
  Dayna Roselli: The name Ghost Bar will be back, and that's at the bar that's at the very top with an incredible view of the Las Vegas Strip.
• 27:38
  Dayna Roselli: So we're excited.
• 27:39
  Dayna Roselli: Now we've learned Mabel's barbecue is coming back, and that's Chef Michael Simon's restaurant, and it was in the palms before it closed, so basically it will reopen and still be there.
• 27:49
  Dayna Roselli: And he seems really excited about it.
• 27:51
  Dayna Roselli: He was on Twitter.
• 27:51
  Dayna Roselli: I know you sent him a congratulations.
• 27:53
  Dayna Roselli: He wrote back.
• 27:54
  Dayna Roselli: So other people asking about Sarah's, which is if you go into Mabel's barbecue, there's a door, and you go into this kind of like more of an upscale spot, unlike Mabel's, very different.
• 28:05
  Dayna Roselli: That's a really cool kind of area, almost like you said, speakeasiest.
• 28:11
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 28:12
  Dayna Roselli: Somebody asked him on Twitter if that's reopening too, and he said not yet.
• 28:15
  Dayna Roselli: So it sounds like it will eventually, but for now, we know we're getting Mabel's barbecue back.
• 28:20
  Sean McAllister: Another successful restaurant owner here in Las Vegas is reality star Lisa Vanderpump.
• 28:25
  Sean McAllister: She opened uh Vanderpump Cocktail Garden over at Caesars Palace, and there is always, I've never seen it without a line.
• 28:33
  Dayna Roselli: I don't think I have either.
• 28:34
  Sean McAllister: It's crazy.
• 28:35
  Sean McAllister: People just love it.
• 28:36
  Sean McAllister: Well, Lisa Vanderpump and her husband have opened a new spot called Vanderpump A Perry.
• 28:43
  Sean McAllister: Ooh.
• 28:43
  Sean McAllister: Over at Paris, Las Vegas, as you might guess.
• 28:46
  Sean McAllister: Uh, this is their second restaurant.
• 28:48
  Sean McAllister: Um, so you know, fans of Lisa Vanderpump now have two choices when they come to Vegas.
• 28:54
  Dayna Roselli: And my friends were in town one weekend and they went and she was there.
• 28:56
  Dayna Roselli: So they got a picture with her.
• 28:58
  Dayna Roselli: I think she pops in every now and then.
• 28:59
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, she does.
• 29:00
  Dayna Roselli: So that's kind of cool.
• 29:01
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, that is.
• 29:01
  Sean McAllister: That's fun.
• 29:02
  Dayna Roselli: All right, let's go over some shows that have been announced because there are so many that come out every week.
• 29:07
  Dayna Roselli: And uh this one I'm really excited about, Boy George and the Culture Club.
• 29:11
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, that's a blast from the past, right?
• 29:13
  Dayna Roselli: Man, come into the wind.
• 29:15
  Dayna Roselli: We already told you Duran Duran's coming.
• 29:17
  Dayna Roselli: We said that last week, and then another group now from the U, you know, kind of UK born, uh, but made it, you know, across the world is Boy George and the Culture Club.
• 29:26
  Sean McAllister: Big in the 80s.
• 29:27
  Sean McAllister: I remember watching Boy George on MTV.
• 29:29
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, yeah, listen, I'm not gonna lie, I do a little bit of my workout to uh comma, comma, comma, chameleon.
• 29:38
  Dayna Roselli: It's a good one.
• 29:40
  Dayna Roselli: He's got so many hits, and uh it's gonna be great.

  Dayna Roselli: They're I can't remember when Culture Club's coming.

  Sean McAllister: So will Boy George be doing all the hits?
• 30:03
  Dayna Roselli: Well, I don't know.
• 30:04
  Dayna Roselli: He wrote back our friend John Castlamides on Twitter and was like, Don't tell me what to do, and he said he'll play all the hits.
• 30:11
  Dayna Roselli: And he's just he's sarcastic and funny on Twitter, Boy George.
• 30:15
  Dayna Roselli: Um he says, uh, my opening line is gonna be Hello Vegas, Liberace sent me.
• 30:20
  Sean McAllister: That's so funny.

  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it's called Hello Vegas.
• 30:23
  Dayna Roselli: Uh we arrived by Culture Club, and it's June 3rd and 4th at the win.
• 30:28
  Sean McAllister: Another classic band, Dana, that just announced that they'll be passing through Las Vegas are the Eagles.
• 30:35
  Sean McAllister: And of course, one of their greatest albums was Hotel California.
• 30:38
  Sean McAllister: And that's what they plan to play as they're doing this uh national tour with a stop at MGM's Grand Garden Arena on May 28th.
• 30:48
  Sean McAllister: They're playing that whole album in its entirety.
• 30:51
  Dayna Roselli: Wow, yeah.
• 30:52
  Dayna Roselli: I was seeing reading start to finish, accompanied by an orchestra and choir.
• 30:56
  Dayna Roselli: Then they're gonna have a short intermission and they're gonna perform some of their greatest hits.
• 31:00
  Dayna Roselli: So this is a concept I've never heard before for a tour stop.
• 31:04
  Sean McAllister: That is just such a cool concept for this tour.
• 31:09
  Sean McAllister: Very Vegas.
• 31:11
  Sean McAllister: I'm I might need to snag myself some tickets for that.
• 31:15
  Dayna Roselli: Also, Aerosmith coming back, FYI too.

  Dayna Roselli: The Deuces Are Wild, a show over at Park MGM, is coming back June 17th to December 11th, with I think they have like 24 dates on sale.
• 31:28
  Dayna Roselli: So if you want to see Aerosmith and you didn't get a chance to see them at one of their other runs, they're back.
• 31:33
  Sean McAllister: And uh a little bit sooner, on April 23rd, Walker Hayes, he's the country star who you know popularized the song Fancy Like.

  Sean McAllister: Uh he's playing uh April 23rd at Mandalay Bay Beach, and that'll be a fun one.
• 31:55
  Sean McAllister: I like that the beach concerts are back.
• 31:57
  Dayna Roselli: I know, me too.
• 31:58
  Dayna Roselli: You should do a karaoke night with that song.
• 32:00
  Dayna Roselli: You sounded good singing that.
• 32:02
  Sean McAllister: I learned the dance, too.
• 32:03
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, well.
• 32:04
  Sean McAllister: So a bunch of friends.
• 32:05
  Sean McAllister: We we went to Nashville uh last month and uh learned that dance because I was like, oh, if we're going to the honky tongues, somebody's gonna be playing this somewhere.
• 32:15
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 32:15
  Sean McAllister: And I need to know something.
• 32:18
  Dayna Roselli: You're good at it.
• 32:20
  Dayna Roselli: Um, okay, uh, expertlesque.
• 32:23
  Dayna Roselli: They are celebrating 20 years, and you know, some interesting factoids that they sent along that I was reading, I was like, oh, I didn't know that.
• 32:30
  Dayna Roselli: But if you don't know, it's a topless review show, and right now it's currently at the Flamingo Las Vegas, and in honor of their celebrating 20 years of what they call tantalizing tidbits.
• 32:44
  Sean McAllister: Oh uh is that what they are?
• 32:46
  Dayna Roselli: Well, oh, here are some tantalizing tidbits.
• 32:49
  Dayna Roselli: Sorry.
• 32:51
  Sean McAllister: You don't go to the show to see tantalizing tidbits?
• 32:54
  Dayna Roselli: I think you do.
• 32:54
  Dayna Roselli: I think it's, you know, play on words.
• 32:58
  Dayna Roselli: Well, it's uh funny because when I was reading through, there were a lot of things that I had learned.
• 33:04
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 33:05
  Dayna Roselli: So, first of all, oh gosh, I've been to X Burles a long time ago.
• 33:08
  Dayna Roselli: I need to go revisit that show again.
• 33:10
  Dayna Roselli: But they have performed apparently 10,000 shows since it first opened at the Aladdin in 2002.
• 33:18
  Dayna Roselli: Wow.
• 33:19
  Dayna Roselli: I didn't know it opened at the Aladdin.
• 33:21
  Dayna Roselli: So I thought that was interesting.
• 33:22
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, over one million people have actually seen Ex Burlesque.
• 33:27
  Dayna Roselli: And for four years in a row, apparently it's been awarded first place as a sexiest topless review in Las Vegas.
• 33:33
  Dayna Roselli: So if you're looking for that kind of show, go see X Burlesque on their 20th anniversary year.
• 33:38
  Sean McAllister: They get all those awards because they have such good tidbits.
• 33:41
  Dayna Roselli: Tidbits.
• 33:42
  Dayna Roselli: You get tantalizing tidbits when you go.
• 33:46
  Dayna Roselli: That's what I get from reading my notes.
• 33:49
  Dayna Roselli: This is why I'm always just like, scrap the notes.
• 33:51
  Dayna Roselli: Let's just talk up.
• 33:52
  Sean McAllister: Hey, uh, before we get to tips, we want to let you know what we have coming up next week here on Vegas Revealed.
• 33:59
  Sean McAllister: Of course, Las Vegas is always kind of featured in movies and television shows, but how much of what we see is actually accurate?
• 34:11
  Sean McAllister: And how does that impact how people view Las Vegas?
• 34:15
  Sean McAllister: Well, that's the topic of a conversation we're going to have with Josh Bell.
• 34:20
  Sean McAllister: He's a movie reviewer, entertainment critic, and he has some interesting insights, Dana.
• 34:25
  Dayna Roselli: Really interesting.
• 34:26
  Dayna Roselli: And we were chatting with him about the Oscars.
• 34:28
  Dayna Roselli: So we wanted to talk to him about a topic related to movies and shows and what's on his mind, Vegas-wise.
• 34:36
  Dayna Roselli: And we came up with this because he's writing an article on it.
• 34:38
  Dayna Roselli: Uh so next week we're gonna talk about that.
• 34:41
  Dayna Roselli: We did the interview already with Josh.
• 34:43
  Dayna Roselli: Very interesting.
• 34:44
  Dayna Roselli: So you'll want to definitely get ready for that one.
• 34:47
  Sean McAllister: All right, now our tips.
• 34:52
  Dayna Roselli: And Sean, you teased your tip last week and you said, Don't let me forget I want to talk about this next week in my tips.
• 34:58
  Dayna Roselli: And it has to do with an Italian restaurant with a twist.
• 35:01
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, so uh the place is called Casa di Amore.
• 35:05
  Sean McAllister: It's on East Tropicana Avenue.
• 35:09
  Sean McAllister: Uh it's kind of an older, I feel like it's been around for a little bit.
• 35:15
  Dayna Roselli: Long time, long time.
• 35:16
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and so it's got that old school vibe where you know, and they've actually redone the place in this COVID time period.
• 35:25
  Sean McAllister: We went back in and they rearranged the dining room and have new artwork up on the walls, but it is delicious Italian food, and they have live music in there, they have like the Italian lounge singer going on.
• 35:38
  Dayna Roselli: Um because here's a little factoid before Vegas really expanded.
• 35:43
  Dayna Roselli: Um, you know, back in the day when there were like neighborhoods of uh certain ethnicities, basically.
• 35:51
  Dayna Roselli: The Italians always lived on the east side of Vegas.
• 35:54
  Dayna Roselli: That was kind of where, yeah.
• 35:55
  Dayna Roselli: So some of the I didn't know that.
• 35:57
  Dayna Roselli: So some of the older restaurants are uh uh of Italian restaurants are on the east side, like the Italian American Club, Piero's, and then Casa diamore.
• 36:06
  Sean McAllister: And they have, you know, they have their regulars who are in every Friday or Saturday night.
• 36:12
  Sean McAllister: Um, it's a great place to go for really good Italian food and you know, great atmosphere too.
• 36:21
  Sean McAllister: But what sets Casa diamore apart from other Italian restaurants in Las Vegas, out back, you go out the back door by the bar and it's a full-on outdoor tiki lounge.
• 36:36
  Dayna Roselli: Wow, I haven't seen this yet.
• 36:37
  Sean McAllister: So you go out there and it if you park in the back parking lot and walk up toward the back of the building, it looks like a big pirate ship.
• 36:46
  Sean McAllister: But you can't even see that it's there from the road.
• 36:48
  Sean McAllister: It just looks like, you know, a little Italian restaurant.
• 36:51
  Sean McAllister: Uh-huh.
• 36:52
  Sean McAllister: But when you go out back, it takes you to a whole nother world.
• 36:55
  Sean McAllister: We brought friends there before.
• 36:57
  Sean McAllister: The drinks are uh amazing.
• 37:00
  Sean McAllister: And it's just such a fun vibe.
• 37:02
  Sean McAllister: So they just reopened the tiki bar patio on March 18th.
• 37:07
  Sean McAllister: So, you know, now that the nicer weather is here, the tiki bar is back open.
• 37:12
  Sean McAllister: How fun.
• 37:13
  Sean McAllister: And a lot of people don't realize that if you just step out the back door of the restaurant, you have a fun kind of an after-party vibe.
• 37:22
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 37:22
  Dayna Roselli: And I bet a glass of wine isn't$35 there.
• 37:25
  Sean McAllister: It is not.
• 37:26
  Sean McAllister: They actually have really good wine on tap.
• 37:29
  Dayna Roselli: Ooh, I like that.
• 37:30
  Sean McAllister: And so it's nice and chilled a little bit, which is great.
• 37:32
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, the food's good there.
• 37:34
  Dayna Roselli: I've only been once or twice since I've lived here, so need to hit that again now that we're working over on the east side more.
• 37:40
  Dayna Roselli: We will definitely have to hit that up.
• 37:41
  Dayna Roselli: You'll have to show me what it's all about.
• 37:42
  Dayna Roselli: And I love a good patio.
• 37:44
  Sean McAllister: It's my neighborhood joint.
• 37:45
  Sean McAllister: I love it.
• 37:46
  Dayna Roselli: My tip has to do with parking because it just became it's just such a popular subject.
• 37:50
  Dayna Roselli: People talk about it all the time.
• 37:51
  Dayna Roselli: I actually get texts and phone calls before some of my friends or acquaintances go out and they say, I'm going here.
• 37:58
  Dayna Roselli: Where do I park and what do I do?
• 38:00
  Sean McAllister: I know.
• 38:01
  Sean McAllister: And that's the number one question.
• 38:03
  Dayna Roselli: I have all the little tricks and tips.
• 38:04
  Dayna Roselli: So then uh my friend called me then and she's like, You're brilliant.
• 38:07
  Dayna Roselli: I did what you said and it worked.
• 38:08
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, I'm not gonna reveal what that was, but I do want to tell everyone about the$7 valet at the forum shops at Caesars because there's a couple different spots to access Caesars forum shops.
• 38:21
  Dayna Roselli: And there's one that's more like to the front, closer to the strip.
• 38:25
  Dayna Roselli: And there's a section that they kind of built on to the forum shops, the really tall with the spiral escalator, and there are a lot of restaurants that are popular in there.
• 38:34
  Dayna Roselli: So sometimes if you are going to go to a restaurant, you might not want to, especially if you're local, go in and park all the way in the back and then have to walk all the way through.
• 38:44
  Dayna Roselli: So there is a valet up front, but the best thing is it's seven bucks.
• 38:49
  Sean McAllister: That's great.
• 38:49
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it's a lot cheaper than a lot of the$30 valet spots now.
• 38:53
  Dayna Roselli: So um, I'm not sure if a lot of people know about it.
• 38:56
  Dayna Roselli: I was parked there.
• 38:57
  Dayna Roselli: I was running late to meet my my cousins that were in town over at Sushi Roku the other day.
• 39:02
  Dayna Roselli: And the guys were nice, they're like, We're really tight.
• 39:04
  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, Can I please?
• 39:06
  Dayna Roselli: I'm just my cousins are waiting for me and I'm late, and um, I'm not gonna be here too long, maybe like an hour and 15 minutes, and they're like, All right, we're gonna squeeze you in.
• 39:14
  Dayna Roselli: So it was great, but it is seven bucks.
• 39:17
  Dayna Roselli: You literally like check out on your phone and you can pay with a card or whatever, and even if you wanted to edit it, but it's definitely a luxury if you're going to Caesars and maybe you're just going to dinner and then heading out.
• 39:29
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, I would recommend that spot.
• 39:31
  Dayna Roselli: So you enter off Las Vegas Boulevard.
• 39:33
  Dayna Roselli: You can enter from the back, but then you've got to drive toward the front.
• 39:36
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 39:36
  Dayna Roselli: Enter from Las Vegas Boulevard, bend to the right, and then it's right there on the front right side.
• 39:43
  Sean McAllister: Well, and I'll tell you what, seven bucks, that's half the price of even what it is to self-park.
• 39:49
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 39:49
  Sean McAllister: So still a great deal.
• 39:51
  Sean McAllister: That's a great, great tip.
• 39:52
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 39:53
  Dayna Roselli: And tonight I'm going to a Golden Knights game, and I was looking up, my friend was telling me who goes a lot to look at the T-Mobile Arena, buy your parking pass ahead of time, and go and yeah, and I didn't realize that.
• 40:03
  Dayna Roselli: And she was like, and use this one parking garage right next door.
• 40:06
  Dayna Roselli: It's 30 bucks.
• 40:07
  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, okay, you know, it gets you right in and out, but I didn't realize, but she said, Don't go on any of the other sites, like, you know, like the ticket sites are different parts.
• 40:16
  Dayna Roselli: Go to the T-Mobile Arena site specifically.
• 40:19
  Dayna Roselli: So I went and looked today, and I was like, okay, there it is.
• 40:22
  Dayna Roselli: So I didn't know that.
• 40:23
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, yeah.
• 40:24
  Sean McAllister: Uh we always prepay for the the parking, makes it so easy because you just scan your pass on the way in and it's they have a it's a well-oiled machine getting in and out of there for hockey games.
• 40:35
  Sean McAllister: They've done a great job.
• 40:37
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, uh, that's a podcast.
