  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 2:00
  Dayna Roselli: It's a big deal.
• 2:01
  Dayna Roselli: No, I can't believe it.
• 2:03
  Dayna Roselli: It feels like, I don't know, we've done 250.
• 2:08
  Dayna Roselli: We're only at 140?
• 2:10
  Dayna Roselli: How is that possible?
• 2:11
  Sean McAllister: Only 140.
• 2:12
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 2:12
  Sean McAllister: Uh, you know, it's beginning to look a lot like fall and with Halloween-themed attractions popping up all over the Las Vegas Valley.
• 2:21
  Sean McAllister: Um, it makes me think of you, Dana, each time I see this stuff.
• 2:25
  Sean McAllister: And we're gonna get into all the details coming up in just a few minutes, but I just know how much you love pumpkin and all the fall scents and sights and holidays in general.
• 2:37
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know why I'm not a holiday person.
• 2:39
  Dayna Roselli: I like them, but I just I don't, it's I don't know.
• 2:43
  Dayna Roselli: I like summer.
• 2:44
  Sean McAllister: As we sat down before we started recording, Dana came in and sat down.
• 2:49
  Sean McAllister: She was like, ugh, the holidays are here.
• 2:52
  Dayna Roselli: It's just like it's one thing after the next, and uh it's a lot to keep up with, and I don't know, decorations, all that stuff.
• 3:03
  Sean McAllister: Hey, I'm good with summer all year.
• 3:04
  Dayna Roselli: I know, I know.
• 3:05
  Dayna Roselli: Well, this time we actually right now would be perfect all year, right?
• 3:09
  Dayna Roselli: Like the high 80s.
• 3:11
  Dayna Roselli: So perfect.
• 3:11
  Sean McAllister: It's been absolutely gorgeous, and it was a gorgeous day at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the big South Point 400.
• 3:19
  Sean McAllister: We were invited out there to see the race.
• 3:22
  Dayna Roselli: We were, and what a day, like you said.
• 3:24
  Dayna Roselli: First of all, thanks to the general manager, Chris Powell, for saying, hey, you guys got to come to this NASCAR race.
• 3:29
  Dayna Roselli: And we were up in the owner's box, which was a lot of fun.
• 3:32
  Dayna Roselli: Great group of people up there.
• 3:34
  Dayna Roselli: And then we were able to go up a couple levels and like kind of stand on the roof with such an amazing view of the race.
• 3:42
  Dayna Roselli: We saw Lorraine Peril did the national anthem.
• 3:45
  Dayna Roselli: We saw some show girls where there was ceremony before the race started, the green flag, there was a flyover from Nellis Air Force Base.
• 3:53
  Dayna Roselli: So it was great.
• 3:54
  Sean McAllister: It really was a perfect day for a NASCAR race.
• 3:58
  Sean McAllister: And if you listen back a couple episodes to episode 138, when we were talking with Chris Powell about the race, uh, he was talking about how like your body actually rumbles from having so many cars with their engines revving each time they go by.
• 4:15
  Sean McAllister: And it really did.
• 4:16
  Sean McAllister: We experienced the rumble, Dana.
• 4:20
  Dayna Roselli: We definitely did.
• 4:21
  Dayna Roselli: That was crazy.
• 4:22
  Dayna Roselli: You were even plugging your ears at one point.
• 4:24
  Sean McAllister: I was, I had to.
• 4:25
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 4:26
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it's loud.
• 4:27
  Dayna Roselli: And what you experience the rumble when they fly by, but also like as soon as they fly by, you think like, oh, it'll be a little while before they're gonna come back around.
• 4:36
  Dayna Roselli: No, and then they're like back around in like 60 seconds, and they go so fast that they go around the track, and uh it's unreal to watch this.
• 4:46
  Dayna Roselli: It's so much fun.
• 4:47
  Dayna Roselli: I know it I feel like for people who haven't been to a NASCAR race, you can't understand or get it, but seeing it in person, it's so much fun.
• 4:56
  Sean McAllister: And there was some action that kind of happened off the racetrack as uh the result of uh a crash that happened on the track.
• 5:05
  Sean McAllister: Two drivers kind of got into it and it was right in front of us.
• 5:09
  Dayna Roselli: It was, it was Bubba Wallace and Kyle Larson.
• 5:12
  Dayna Roselli: So it was Bubba that walked right toward Kyle.
• 5:15
  Dayna Roselli: I think everyone sitting there thought there was gonna be like a little bit of a yelling match, right?
• 5:19
  Dayna Roselli: Right, but then Bubba like starts shoving him, yeah.
• 5:23
  Dayna Roselli: And it's like, what?
• 5:23
  Dayna Roselli: And it's interesting because we posted the video on our Twitter and a couple of people responded and saying, like, you know, Kyle really kept his cool.
• 5:31
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, kudos to him because Bubba just kept pushing him.
• 5:34
  Sean McAllister: He was, he was pushing those buttons, trying to get a rise out of him.
• 5:39
  Sean McAllister: Um, Bubba, under understandably upset because Kyle had said that he kind of he knew that he pushed Bubba into the wall a little bit, but then Bubba retaliated by kind of smashing his car into Kyle's car.
• 5:56
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and I was just looking up some headlines about it right now just to see, hey, is there anything new?
• 6:00
  Dayna Roselli: And just six hours ago, there was a headline that said that Joey Logano, the winner of the NASCAR race, he said Bubba Wallace could have cost Kyle Lartson his life.
• 6:10
  Dayna Roselli: And there's a whole article on that, and he explains why.
• 6:13
  Dayna Roselli: And so it's obviously still being talked about days later.
• 6:17
  Dayna Roselli: It was a it was a big deal.
• 6:19
  Sean McAllister: Well, and even in the the suite where we were watching, it was a topic of conversation, and people, I mean, it was a kind of the consensus that on the track is not the time to retaliate.
• 6:33
  Sean McAllister: You don't retaliate by causing a crash because that puts um other drivers in danger, it puts yourself in danger if you're the one doing that, but then there's potential that something could happen to uh the pit crew or to spectators who are there to watch the race too.
• 6:52
  Sean McAllister: So it's just not a good situation to retaliate on the track, and we saw that play out right in front of us.
• 6:58
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, this isn't the Oscars.
• 7:00
  Sean McAllister: No, it's not.
• 7:01
  Sean McAllister: By the way, that's not the time or place either, but whatever.
• 7:05
  Dayna Roselli: I'm referring to Will Smith and Chris Rock.
• 7:08
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it's like, come on, uh, why is everyone just like pushing everyone around lately?
• 7:12
  Dayna Roselli: This has been a rough year.
• 7:13
  Sean McAllister: Just go home, write a sternly worded letter, send it off in the mail.
• 7:19
  Sean McAllister: That's the best thing to do.
• 7:21
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my gosh.
• 7:22
  Dayna Roselli: We had a blast.
• 7:23
  Dayna Roselli: It was great, so much fun.
• 7:25
  Dayna Roselli: If you get a chance, go to a NASCAR race, people there, you know, they go early, they walk around, there's the neon garage.
• 7:34
  Dayna Roselli: You get to see so much and really enjoy perfect weather in Las Vegas and an exciting, what was it, like three or four hours?
• 7:43
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it was.
• 7:44
  Sean McAllister: It was really fun.
• 7:45
  Sean McAllister: So we have two big NASCAR races a year, uh, one in March and then another in the fall.
• 7:51
  Sean McAllister: So it's not too early to start planning for March.
• 7:53
  Dayna Roselli: No, that's true.
• 7:54
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, switching gears a bit, we got a bunch of really big comedians coming to town.
• 8:00
  Dayna Roselli: And one of them is Jerry Seinfeld.
• 8:02
  Dayna Roselli: He's back again.
• 8:03
  Dayna Roselli: He hasn't been back in Vegas since 2019, but he's coming back to the Coliseum at Caesars Palace for six shows in 2023, you know, doing his world-famous stand-up comedy.
• 8:16
  Dayna Roselli: I think we've talked about Jerry before.
• 8:17
  Dayna Roselli: He's definitely got a certain kind of sense of humor that you and I were talking about.
• 8:23
  Dayna Roselli: I think wasn't it you that we were saying, we don't laugh out loud laugh to Jerry Seinfeld, but he's witty, funny, and relatable.
• 8:33
  Sean McAllister: Yes.
• 8:34
  Sean McAllister: It's almost like a never-ending uh chuckle because his comedy is so observational and just talks about the everyday uh situations that you find yourself in, and you're like kind of laughing along, like, yep, I I get that.
• 8:54
  Sean McAllister: Right, right.
• 8:55
  Dayna Roselli: I know it's so true.
• 8:56
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, it's always kind of been that way with uh Jerry, and I think people either love him or think he's okay, but no matter what, you know, the people who love him come out in droves because they get him, you know.
• 9:09
  Dayna Roselli: I feel like that's you know the thing with a lot of comedians.
• 9:11
  Dayna Roselli: You either relate and get him and you just think it's the funniest thing ever, or you're like, eh, it's not for me.
• 9:17
  Dayna Roselli: But Jerry has been successful for so many years, and I love that he's still doing shows.
• 9:23
  Dayna Roselli: He's gonna be here April 14th and 15th.
• 9:27
  Dayna Roselli: Then he'll be back Friday, June 9th and June 10th, and then July 28th and 29th.
• 9:34
  Dayna Roselli: So some scattered weekends all through it looks like spring into summer.
• 9:37
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, but it'll be good to have Jerry back at the Coliseum.
• 9:41
  Sean McAllister: I know for a long time when his, I mean, he was a resident headliner there for years, my gosh.
• 9:47
  Sean McAllister: I remember driving by and seeing up on the side of the building Celine Dion, Jerry Seinfeld, and Elton John.
• 9:53
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, those are the big three faces across the front of Caesar's Palace.
• 9:58
  Sean McAllister: So it's a it's been a little bit since Jerry's been here, but we're glad that he's coming back.
• 10:02
  Sean McAllister: But that's not the end of the comedy announcements either.
• 10:05
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 10:05
  Dayna Roselli: Adam Sandler apparently extending his sold-out tour with this two-night engagement at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas here on the strip, December 9th and December 10th.
• 10:18
  Dayna Roselli: First of all, I didn't even know Adam Sandler like does stand-up.
• 10:22
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 10:23
  Dayna Roselli: I had I don't know why I didn't know that.
• 10:25
  Dayna Roselli: But I'm like, oh, Adam Sandler, the actor.
• 10:28
  Dayna Roselli: You know what I mean?
• 10:29
  Dayna Roselli: But I'm like, I would love to see Adam Sandler.
• 10:32
  Sean McAllister: I know.
• 10:33
  Dayna Roselli: He is so funny in his demeanor, too.
• 10:36
  Sean McAllister: He's hilarious.
• 10:37
  Sean McAllister: I I've never seen him in a stand-up environment either.
• 10:42
  Sean McAllister: Um, but I feel like the cosmopolitan seems like that property is a good fit for Adam Sandler.
• 10:48
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it does.
• 10:49
  Dayna Roselli: It does.
• 10:50
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, you're right.
• 10:50
  Dayna Roselli: Like maybe I don't know, does he even have like a special that's on TV?
• 10:55
  Dayna Roselli: I don't even know, but I've never seen a special or anything.
• 10:58
  Dayna Roselli: But I just watched him in that movie and I'm forgetting the name of it, but where he's the basketball recruiter for um Philadelphia, and it's a great movie.
• 11:09
  Dayna Roselli: He was just in that.
• 11:11
  Dayna Roselli: But I mean, he's a funny guy when he's in comedies, so I can only imagine that his stand-up is really enjoyable too.
• 11:18
  Dayna Roselli: So if you get the chance, go see Adam Sandler.
• 11:21
  Dayna Roselli: He'll be here in Las Vegas at the Cosmopolitan December 9th and December 10th.
• 11:26
  Sean McAllister: And I didn't see any uh current okay stand-up specials, so it's not like he's got anything um out there right now.
• 11:35
  Dayna Roselli: There is some older stuff of uh of Sandler, but well that'll make it even better because you're not like familiar with all what you know, you don't know what to expect, which I I love going in, just being like completely surprised.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 11:49
  Dayna Roselli: So Bill Maher's coming too.
• 11:50
  Dayna Roselli: He'll be over at the Dave Copp uh David Copperfield Theater at MGM Grand, and that is February 17th and 18th, and then again June 16th and 17th.
• 12:00
  Dayna Roselli: So, you know, Bill Maher is a comedian, he's an actor, television host, and he's got dates coming in 2023.
• 12:07
  Dayna Roselli: Um, pretty honest guy and funny guy.
• 12:10
  Dayna Roselli: I what was that show?
• 12:12
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, politically incorrect?
• 12:14
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I've seen a live taping of that in LA before, and it was fun to see.
• 12:19
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know, some things I think you agree with lately.
• 12:21
  Dayna Roselli: He's gotten a little bit like into the whole politics of things a little bit.
• 12:26
  Sean McAllister: I was gonna say politics will most certainly be a part of this show.
• 12:29
  Sean McAllister: Exactly.
• 12:29
  Dayna Roselli: A little bit more than usual lately.
• 12:31
  Dayna Roselli: But and he's got a lot of specials on.
• 12:33
  Dayna Roselli: I think there's one on HBO Max, or maybe it's Apple TV, but anyway, um, people same thing.
• 12:37
  Dayna Roselli: You either love him or he's not your cup of tea.
• 12:39
  Dayna Roselli: And the people who love him will come out to see this show over at the MGM Grand.
• 12:43
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, they will.
• 12:44
  Sean McAllister: So a lot of comedy news coming out.
• 12:47
  Sean McAllister: It's it's unusual that we get such big comedy announcements all at the same time, but but love when when comedy comes through.
• 12:56
  Sean McAllister: Um, as I mentioned at the the top of the show, Dana, um, it is beginning to look a lot like fall.
• 13:02
  Sean McAllister: There are hay bales and pumpkin patches everywhere.
• 13:07
  Sean McAllister: And when we say pumpkin patches in Las Vegas, they turn uh like half of a giant lot, supermarket parking lot into a pumpkin patch.
• 13:18
  Sean McAllister: They ship in the pumpkins, throw some straw down on the ground.
• 13:21
  Sean McAllister: It's true.
• 13:22
  Sean McAllister: Call it a pumpkin patch.
• 13:23
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, I've been going to this new workout place over near Boca Park, it's kind of like uh just south of Summerlin Parkway.
• 13:29
  Dayna Roselli: I don't think it's cons I don't know if it's Summerlin or considered Summerlin, right on the border.
• 13:33
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, there's a huge Halloween pumpkin thing and rides.
• 13:38
  Dayna Roselli: And anyway, it's always packed.
• 13:41
  Dayna Roselli: So people love it.
• 13:42
  Dayna Roselli: There's like twinkling lights and kids and parents and pumpkins and hay rides and all that kind of thing.
• 13:49
  Dayna Roselli: And it's definitely popular, you know, and we have perfect weather because it's it's not chilly, it's just perfect to go to these events.
• 13:56
  Sean McAllister: It is, it is.
• 13:57
  Sean McAllister: Although we do have an actual pumpkin patch in town up at Gilcrease Orchards.
• 14:01
  Dayna Roselli: We do, you're right.
• 14:02
  Dayna Roselli: A little bit of a drive, but not too far.
• 14:04
  Dayna Roselli: It was like 25-30 minutes from the strip.
• 14:06
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it's very, very popular.
• 14:08
  Sean McAllister: They have fresh pressed cider and apple cider donuts that are always amazing.
• 14:15
  Dayna Roselli: It just doesn't feel right.
• 14:16
  Dayna Roselli: I think it's because I grew up, and you did too, in like an area that's like fall is like the leaves are changing, it's brisk.
• 14:23
  Dayna Roselli: So I just feel like maybe that's why I just can't get into it.
• 14:27
  Sean McAllister: Because it's not flannel season in Las Vegas.
• 14:29
  Dayna Roselli: No.
• 14:30
  Dayna Roselli: The other day it was 5 p.m.
• 14:32
  Dayna Roselli: and I was driving and it was 89 degrees according to my car thermometer.
• 14:36
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm like, it's 5 p.m.
• 14:37
  Dayna Roselli: and it's 89 still.
• 14:38
  Sean McAllister: Beautiful fall weather.
• 14:39
  Sean McAllister: It is.
• 14:40
  Sean McAllister: Love it.
• 14:40
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, let's talk about some Halloween events, though, because there are like a couple things that we spotted where we're like, okay, these stick out.
• 14:46
  Dayna Roselli: Let's let people know about these things.
• 14:48
  Dayna Roselli: Um, our friend Garrett wrote us and wanted to let everyone know that there's a Palm's Pride Halloween event.
• 14:57
  Dayna Roselli: Ooh.
• 14:58
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, costume party and contest on Halloween Eve.
• 15:02
  Dayna Roselli: So October 30th.
• 15:03
  Dayna Roselli: There's gonna be a$25 cover, cash, prizes.
• 15:06
  Dayna Roselli: It's from 7 p.m.
• 15:08
  Dayna Roselli: to 4 a.m.
• 15:09
  Sean McAllister: Oh, so bridging over into Halloween.
• 15:13
  Dayna Roselli: That's right.
• 15:14
  Dayna Roselli: And it's gonna be uh there's free parking there, costumes encouraged, and ticket sales and table reservations available at palms.com.
• 15:21
  Dayna Roselli: But um, a couple of the queens are gonna be there.
• 15:24
  Dayna Roselli: Kenneth Blake, Coco Montrice, and Jesse Tyler.
• 15:30
  Sean McAllister: Okay.
• 15:30
  Dayna Roselli: You know all that?
• 15:31
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, yeah.
• 15:32
  Dayna Roselli: So it'll be a fun Hollow Queen.
• 15:35
  Sean McAllister: Oh, that will be fun.
• 15:36
  Sean McAllister: I like that.
• 15:37
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it sounds very entertaining.
• 15:39
  Sean McAllister: 4 a.m.
• 15:40
  Sean McAllister: That is a late night.
• 15:41
  Sean McAllister: It sure is.
• 15:42
  Sean McAllister: Early morning.
• 15:43
  Dayna Roselli: And then if you want to, you know, do something, I guess, a little more family-oriented, you could head over to downtown Summerlin.
• 15:53
  Dayna Roselli: They've got this new, uh, like brand new inaugural Vegas haunt, which is like a haunted maze that they're doing over there.
• 16:00
  Dayna Roselli: That sounds fun.
• 16:01
  Dayna Roselli: And then they've got a Vegas Halloween town, and that's a Halloween-inspired open air market with 50 vendors offering fall favorites, seasonal beer tastings, tricks, lots of treats, and that's at the lawn at downtown Summerlin.
• 16:14
  Dayna Roselli: And it's all taking place October 25th to the 31st.
• 16:19
  Dayna Roselli: So whole weekend full of events, and it sounds fun.
• 16:22
  Sean McAllister: And I imagine if people are going out to take part in these Halloween events, especially a haunted maze, um, that you expect to see things that like get under your skin a little bit.
• 16:35
  Sean McAllister: In the maze, there are six different themed areas that you go through.
• 16:40
  Sean McAllister: Um, and one of them is a haunted circus, like a horror circus.
• 16:46
  Sean McAllister: So I have to imagine there are going to be some scary clowns.
• 16:49
  Sean McAllister: Oh, I think.
• 16:50
  Sean McAllister: And I know that people, some people have a real aversion to clowns to begin with, and then to make it a scary clown on top of that, then it's like, okay, tap out.
• 17:00
  Dayna Roselli: No, yeah, not my cup of tea.
• 17:02
  Dayna Roselli: Anybody chasing me or anything is out of my things to do list.
• 17:08
  Sean McAllister: So that's just a warning for all the people who are fearful of clowns.
• 17:12
  Sean McAllister: They could be involved.
• 17:13
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, we have some incredible haunted houses all across the valley.
• 17:17
  Dayna Roselli: So um, you can just go on Google and put in some of the fright haunted houses we have here in Las Vegas.
• 17:24
  Dayna Roselli: There are tons of them.
• 17:25
  Dayna Roselli: Something happening over at Fremont Street experience.
• 17:28
  Dayna Roselli: Now, this sounds interesting, Sean, because it's well, when I describe it, they got a whole bunch of stuff going on, first of all.
• 17:35
  Dayna Roselli: And it's all October 28th to the 31st.
• 17:38
  Dayna Roselli: Um, you know, it's that six-block entertainment district with the you know, overhead uh you can walk walkable canopy.
• 17:44
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 17:45
  Dayna Roselli: So they're doing the return of the Rock of Horror Halloween celebration.
• 17:53
  Dayna Roselli: And this is on Fremont Street Experience, and there's gonna be flash mobs, free nightly entertainment, including themed theatrical musical performances by Alter Igor on the first street stage, as well as this exclusive production show called Wicked Dreams, and this is gonna be complete with cirque style, dazzling visuals, alluring dancers, and aerialists, and that's all taking place on the third street stage.
• 18:21
  Dayna Roselli: So it all sounds very fun.
• 18:23
  Sean McAllister: And let me tell you, uh, Fremont Street really has gotten into Halloween for years.
• 18:28
  Sean McAllister: I mean, I remember when there used to be kind of like a Halloween parade that would go down Fremont Street, and they had, you know, all the Halloween actors out doing their street performances and stuff.
• 18:41
  Sean McAllister: So I love how Fremont Street really gets into it and they're dedicated the whole weekend long.
• 18:47
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, I feel like it's like Halloween on Fremont Street all year round, but with the costumes and the people watching, but this kind of kicks it up a notch, doesn't it?
• 18:56
  Sean McAllister: It does, it really does.
• 18:58
  Sean McAllister: And it's fun to see when people visit Las Vegas what kind of costumes they wear out when they're here, because I have a feeling that they're a little uh more over the line than if they were back home.
• 19:12
  Dayna Roselli: True, very true.
• 19:13
  Dayna Roselli: Or and then we look at them and go, oh, you just blend right in.
• 19:16
  Sean McAllister: Exactly, exactly.
• 19:19
  Dayna Roselli: So those are a few of the Halloween events that we saw that caught our eye, but there were plenty, plenty of Halloween events happening all around Las Vegas.
• 19:26
  Dayna Roselli: So come in, enjoy.
• 19:28
  Dayna Roselli: We have the best weather for Halloween.
• 19:30
  Sean McAllister: Uh, celebrity chef news, Gordon Ramsay is opening up um our new restaurant, his sixth Las Vegas restaurant.
• 19:39
  Sean McAllister: Uh, this one is inside Hera's Las Vegas.
• 19:43
  Sean McAllister: It's called Ramsey's Kitchen.
• 19:45
  Sean McAllister: And this is the menu is going to pull from a lot of the things that Gordon Ramsay is famous for.
• 19:54
  Sean McAllister: I'm sure there's gonna be steaks, I'm sure there's gonna be some fish and chips.
• 19:58
  Sean McAllister: The Wellington absolutely, the sticky toffee pudding is a staple.
• 20:04
  Sean McAllister: So everything that you know and love Gordon Ramsay for food-wise, you're going to find at Ramsey's Kitchen.
• 20:12
  Sean McAllister: Um, they're now uh taking reservations through the open table app.
• 20:17
  Sean McAllister: So um make sure that you get your seats.
• 20:22
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I like that it's going to Hara's that he's gonna have a presence there.
• 20:25
  Dayna Roselli: That's really cool.
• 20:26
  Dayna Roselli: I also noticed it has a seven-seat seafood counter, which is kind of different.
• 20:29
  Dayna Roselli: That's fun.
• 20:30
  Sean McAllister: It is, and that kind of pulls on the theme that we've seen at some other uh off strip casinos where they have a small oyster bar.
• 20:38
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 20:39
  Sean McAllister: And I think they probably have about seven seats at those too, but it it creates a demand for those seats, which is really neat.
• 20:48
  Sean McAllister: I like to see that.
• 20:50
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and I love that uh Gordon just keeps opening stuff here.
• 20:53
  Dayna Roselli: I feel like we've really embraced Gordon's embraced Las Vegas and then and then we've embraced him.
• 20:59
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, you know, it's cool to have different places and sometimes you don't want to make a special, I don't want to say make a special trip, but if you're staying somewhere and you want to go to a Gordon Ramsay restaurant, now you have choices that's of something that's more like closer to you, you know?
• 21:13
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 21:13
  Dayna Roselli: You're over at Hera's, you can go there.
• 21:15
  Dayna Roselli: You're over at Caesars, you hit Hell's Kitchen and he's all over.

• 21:24
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, at Planet Hollywood, he has uh Gordon Ramsay burger.
• 21:28

• 21:33
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, we had a viewer, not viewer, I'm used to being on TV, a listener, write us and tell us.
• 21:41
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, first of all, say that they listen to the podcast.

  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, I heard something, but let me look it up.
• 22:04
  Dayna Roselli: And we'll mention it in the upcoming podcast.
• 22:07
  Dayna Roselli: So yeah, we've got a punk rock museum coming on January 13th.
• 22:12
  Dayna Roselli: And it's really interesting.
• 22:14
  Dayna Roselli: It's going to be the world's first comprehensive punk museum.
• 22:18
  Dayna Roselli: And it's full of a collection of all different artifacts.
• 22:23
  Dayna Roselli: So I was reading a little bit about it, and it said it's going to house the world's most expansive, inclusive, and intimate display of artifacts, flyers, photos, clothing, instruments, handwritten lyrics, artwork, just about everything.
• 22:38
  Dayna Roselli: And it's all donated basically by people in bands who were part of the punk era.
• 22:44
  Dayna Roselli: So isn't that cool?
• 22:46
  Dayna Roselli: That's really cool.
• 22:47
  Dayna Roselli: I love it.
• 22:47
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 22:48
  Dayna Roselli: So it's opening January 13th and it's over on Western Avenue.
• 22:52
  Dayna Roselli: So near the strip, not far from the strip.
• 22:55
  Dayna Roselli: So we'll see.
• 22:56
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, a brand new attraction.
• 22:57
  Dayna Roselli: I had no idea I'd heard, but I never heard anything, you know, uh new happening.
• 23:02
  Dayna Roselli: But it you can buy pre-sale bundles now.
• 23:05
  Dayna Roselli: And the website is the punkrockmuseum.com if you're interested.
• 23:11
  Sean McAllister: And I know that uh there have been a lot of punk rock events that have been held here in Las Vegas too that are extremely popular.
• 23:20
  Sean McAllister: The punk rock bowling uh music festival that happens.
• 23:24
  Sean McAllister: I mean, that brings in a ton of people.
• 23:26
  Sean McAllister: And you know, you can tell from the crowd that it's a punk rock crowd.
• 23:30
  Sean McAllister: Um, so I feel like this is a great addition.
• 23:34
  Sean McAllister: Um not to say that, you know, fans of punk rock music and culture aren't in Vegas all the time, but especially for those specific events, I think it'll be a great addition to what's available for for the people who are here for that.
• 23:52
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, kind of make like a another spot for them to hit.
• 23:55
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 23:55
  Dayna Roselli: And, you know, visitors just are always looking for new kinds of things in Las Vegas.
• 23:59
  Dayna Roselli: And I love that we're getting more and more museums too.
• 24:02
  Dayna Roselli: That's cool.
• 24:02
  Sean McAllister: It is.
• 24:03
  Dayna Roselli: All right.
• 24:04
  Dayna Roselli: Well, let's do some tips now.
• 24:05
  Dayna Roselli: How about that?
• 24:10
  Sean McAllister: All right, Dana, to kick off our tips.
• 24:12
  Sean McAllister: Uh, how would you feel about knowing you were going somewhere for a meal, but you don't know where, and you don't know what you're going to eat?
• 24:24
  Dayna Roselli: I don't like it.
• 24:25
  Sean McAllister: You don't like it?
• 24:26
  Dayna Roselli: No, I mean, I like to I like a plan, I like to know what to wear, what I'm eating, but it also sounds very fun.
• 24:32
  Dayna Roselli: So, what I mean is it's not ideal, but I like the fact that it sounds interesting and it's out of the ordinary.
• 24:39
  Sean McAllister: So, what we're talking about here is a mystery picnic.
• 24:43
  Sean McAllister: And uh, my husband and I recently did one of these.
• 24:47
  Sean McAllister: Uh, it was gifted to us out probably a a year, year and a half ago.
• 24:52
  Dayna Roselli: Is that what I saw stuck to the fridge?
• 24:53
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, like it's been on there with the magnet forever.
• 24:56
  Dayna Roselli: Both houses have like that you've lived in in the last year, both it was still on the fridge.
• 25:01
  Sean McAllister: Okay, so you've asked before, you were like, what does that mystery picnic mean that's on the fridge?
• 25:06
  Sean McAllister: Well, now I can tell you because we went and did it.
• 25:09
  Sean McAllister: So, first of all, if you go to Amazing Co, the word amazingco is the web address.
• 25:22
  Sean McAllister: Um, it is a mystery picnic here in Las Vegas, and there's different experiences to choose from.
• 25:28
  Sean McAllister: There's one in downtown Summerlin, there's one out in Boulder City.
• 25:32
  Sean McAllister: Um, and we chose the Boulder City mystery picnic.
• 25:37
  Sean McAllister: And what happens, I'm not gonna say anything about the restaurants that we went to or anything like that, because you know, I want it to be a part of the mystery, yeah.
• 25:45
  Sean McAllister: Um but it's kind of like have you ever done a road rally where you get clues that direct you to a certain spot and you have to answer a clue correctly and that guides you to your next spot?
• 25:57
  Sean McAllister: Scavenger hunting.
• 25:58
  Dayna Roselli: I think we scavenger, yeah.
• 25:59
  Dayna Roselli: I think I've done that in college and stuff like that.
• 26:01
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, so it's just like that.
• 26:03
  Sean McAllister: So you end up getting clues on your phone that direct you to certain restaurants.
• 26:10
  Sean McAllister: Uh, you have to uns do word scrambles, uh go to statues, monuments, and uh it tells you to pick out certain letters from the different rows and all that to come up with the answer to the place like that you're gonna go next.
• 26:28
  Sean McAllister: So anyway, we uh stopped at three or four different uh restaurants and picked up a different item at each restaurant, okay, and then uh uh we had to decode um our location where we were gonna go and actually have the picnic, and it was fun.
• 26:47
  Sean McAllister: Like when we set out into this knowing that it was going to be a mystery and that we had to figure things out, and it really was a lot of fun, and the end result, the food was delicious.
• 26:59
  Sean McAllister: We had way more than what the two of us could eat.
• 27:03
  Sean McAllister: We ended up having dinner too.
• 27:05
  Sean McAllister: Um, but it was just a great relaxing afternoon.
• 27:08
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I mean, it does sound like a fun time trying to you know break down everything.
• 27:12
  Dayna Roselli: And and you said you picked up things like was there like wine and like and like a like appetizer and dinner?
• 27:19
  Dayna Roselli: Is that how it or lunch was it a lunch?
• 27:21
  Sean McAllister: It was uh this was a lunch.
• 27:22
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, so there were like different things uh to add on to that, right?
• 27:26
  Dayna Roselli: To kind of make a full menu?
• 27:27
  Sean McAllister: Correct.
• 27:28
  Sean McAllister: So uh the cost of all the food is rolled into um the price of the picnic that you pay when you purchase the experience.
• 27:36
  Sean McAllister: So once you're out there, you don't pay for anything extra unless you want to.
• 27:41
  Sean McAllister: Like there was a one stop um where we ordered a a couple beers, right?
• 27:48
  Sean McAllister: You know, because we were walking around and we were almost at our final walking stop.
• 27:55
  Sean McAllister: Um so for that, like we paid out of our pocket.
• 27:59
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, but for the actual food, we didn't.
• 28:01
  Sean McAllister: So this, if if you like this kind of thing, if you're looking for something to do on a great uh really comfortable afternoon in Las Vegas, go to this again.
• 28:14
  Sean McAllister: It's Amazingco Amazingco.me is the website.
• 28:20
  Sean McAllister: And they have the different experiences listed there, and it was fun, it was great.
• 28:24
  Dayna Roselli: Well, and and it was gifted to you, right?
• 28:26
  Dayna Roselli: So it was it's also another gift idea.
• 28:28
  Dayna Roselli: And it maybe you don't want to do it, but you're like, hey, I know a couple that would, exactly, or friends that would, or hey, great for your parents.
• 28:35
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, who knows?
• 28:36
  Dayna Roselli: Like so that sounds like a great gift, something unique.
• 28:39
  Dayna Roselli: We're very spoiled here in Las Vegas.
• 28:41
  Dayna Roselli: We have so much to do that sometimes doing something really different like that, it's hard to find, and that does sound like it could be a really good gift.
• 28:50
  Dayna Roselli: So I love that.
• 28:51
