  Sean McAllister: Welcome to Vegas Revealed episode 41.
• 0:03
  Dayna Roselli: It's election week, and one of the best President Trump comedian and actors lives here in Las Vegas.
• 0:09
  Dayna Roselli: John De Domenico joins us.
• 0:11
  Dayna Roselli: You won't want to miss it.
• 0:12
  Sean McAllister: Plus, we have brand new September visitor numbers for Las Vegas.
• 0:16
  Sean McAllister: It's pretty revealing about what's happening here.
• 0:19
  Sean McAllister: And Circa makes a splash with its grand opening, We Were There, and we interview the chef behind the property's premier restaurant.
• 0:26
  Sean McAllister: He lets us know what you must order when you visit.
• 0:30
  Sean McAllister: That's coming up in our tips.
• 0:45
  Dayna Roselli: Welcome to Biggest Revealed.
• 0:47
  Dayna Roselli: I'm Dana Roselli along with Sean McAllister, and it is election week.
• 0:52
  Dayna Roselli: Like we mentioned uh earlier in our open, you know, we've got a great guest coming up.
• 0:57
  Dayna Roselli: He is a, he doesn't like to be called a Trump impersonator, Sean.
• 1:00
  Dayna Roselli: He said he's a comedian, a writer, and an actor, which makes sense.
• 1:04
  Dayna Roselli: He takes his roles very seriously.
• 1:05
  Sean McAllister: He does, and he does comedy outside of what he does in his uh Donald Trump character.
• 1:12
  Sean McAllister: So John Domenico is joining us coming up in a little bit here on Vegas Revealed.
• 1:17
  Sean McAllister: Uh he's h absolutely hilarious.
• 1:19
  Sean McAllister: I can't wait to hear what he has to say about the state of affairs and what the possible outcomes of the election mean for his career.
• 1:29
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 1:30
  Dayna Roselli: And he does a whole assortment of uh, well, impersonations, and they're they're really right on.
• 1:35
  Dayna Roselli: You gotta stay tuned for that.
• 1:37
  Dayna Roselli: Also, I want to talk about a couple big things happening in Las Vegas.
• 1:40
  Dayna Roselli: One, we got some numbers in.
• 1:42
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, we always like to take a look at the visitation numbers, and obviously, you know, they're more impactful than ever with the huge dip in visitors' numbers that we've had since the pandemic, but it looks like September was okay, Sean, a little bit better than it was in August.
• 1:59
  Dayna Roselli: And that's that's a bright spot.
• 2:00
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, so over the summer in August, there were about one and a half million visitors who came here to Las Vegas.
• 2:07
  Sean McAllister: That was up in September to just over 1.7 million visitors.
• 2:12
  Sean McAllister: So that is a trend that we like to see, about a 10% increase there.
• 2:17
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so we'll take it.
• 2:18
  Dayna Roselli: Uh the Cromwell is finally open, which is the last resort casino to open on the strip.
• 2:24
  Dayna Roselli: So now we officially have all our properties open.
• 2:27
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, you and I have been seeing a lot of rumblings and a lot of talk about some of these hotels kind of closing midweek.
• 2:33
  Dayna Roselli: I know there are a couple properties that already do that.
• 2:36
  Dayna Roselli: I think it's Planet Hollywood and also even the Palazzo early on.
• 2:40
  Dayna Roselli: But, you know, we're not getting that midweek weekday visitation like we are on the weekends, which are doing pretty good.
• 2:47
  Sean McAllister: Well, and Las Vegas has always depended on uh the convention business to bring visitors midweek.
• 2:53
  Sean McAllister: That's not too typically the time when when tourists would come here.
• 2:57
  Sean McAllister: And until uh convention business gets back to what it needs to be for the city, I think that midweek business is still just gonna be really weak.
• 3:06
  Sean McAllister: So it's not surprising that um there are properties that might be thinking about uh closing during the week, which we don't love to hear that, but you know, it it makes sense with what's going on.
• 3:20
  Sean McAllister: Again, these are just rumors at this point, nothing has officially been confirmed, but we will let you know the the status of those rumors.
• 3:28
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and both of you and I have been out on the weekends here, and it's it's really busy, I must say, in Las Vegas.
• 3:33
  Dayna Roselli: So people are coming when they can to take a break from whether it's uh working from home, virtual school at home, or you know, not working at home and just getting away.
• 3:43
  Dayna Roselli: So uh we welcome everyone.
• 3:45
  Dayna Roselli: You and I were in downtown Las Vegas midweek on a Tuesday night to kick off uh the grand opening of Circa Las Vegas.
• 3:54
  Dayna Roselli: We were actually there from uh seven to midnight, and actually a little bit past midnight when the doors officially opened.
• 4:00
  Dayna Roselli: We were there for this preview VIP party, and what an occasion.
• 4:04
  Sean McAllister: Oh my gosh, it was incredible.
• 4:06
  Sean McAllister: I think the biggest black tie affair that Las Vegas has seen in months since the shutdown in March.
• 4:14
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and the first masked affair, too, a black tie event that I've ever been to.
• 4:18
  Dayna Roselli: We were all in masks.
• 4:20
  Sean McAllister: Which made it very interesting for uh conversation purposes because everyone was wearing a mask, and I have to say, um I would the the guidelines were followed.
• 4:33
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 4:33
  Dayna Roselli: The guidelines were followed.
• 4:34
  Dayna Roselli: People were, you know, taking off their masks for a sip of wine and that kind of thing.
• 4:38
  Dayna Roselli: But uh for the most part, you know, everyone was dressed to the nines and they had their mask on.
• 4:43
  Dayna Roselli: So we're gonna have more details about our experience coming up in our tips.
• 4:47
  Dayna Roselli: We interviewed Chef Barry and we also gambled a little at midnight, and we have a little account of that all coming up in our tips.
• 4:55
  Dayna Roselli: It was a wild night.
• 4:56
  Dayna Roselli: We've got some funny stories to share coming up.
• 4:58
  Sean McAllister: It was a bit crazy.
• 5:00
  Sean McAllister: It was.
• 5:00
  Sean McAllister: Um, but uh, you know, one of the biggest events all year long in Las Vegas is New Year's Eve.
• 5:08
  Sean McAllister: There's hundreds of thousands of visitors who who plan all year to come to Las Vegas to ring in the new year.
• 5:15
  Sean McAllister: Uh, but it the festivities will be a bit different this year, a little less festive, I guess you could say.
• 5:22
  Dayna Roselli: Uh our fireworks were canceled.
• 5:24
  Dayna Roselli: A big announcement came this week, and you know, usually fireworks, you know, fly off like seven buildings on the strips.
• 5:30
  Dayna Roselli: It's one of the biggest things every year.
• 5:32
  Dayna Roselli: They shut down the strip and they allow it to just be foot traffic.
• 5:36
  Dayna Roselli: So it's a very rare occasion.
• 5:38
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, I've worked every New Year's Eve on the strip for the pretty much the 15 years I've been here.
• 5:43
  Dayna Roselli: It's a spectacular event and it brings in about more than I think 300,000 people, Sean, and a lot of money.
• 5:50
  Dayna Roselli: I think they were saying it we average taking in about 250 million just from all the tourists that come in and the visitors just to celebrate New Year's Eve.
• 5:59
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, so the the not having the fireworks is going to make it uh definitely a different atmosphere here in Las Vegas.
• 6:09
  Sean McAllister: And not having Las Vegas Boulevard shut down and packed with people is going to be a different experience.
• 6:17
  Sean McAllister: But that's not to say that you can't still come here and have a good time.
• 6:21
  Sean McAllister: It just means that, you know, all the free public festivities aren't going to be happening, but you can still come here, you can still see the shows that are opening, you can go to a nice dinner, and I'm sure that there will be uh some private parties that are happening on the Las Vegas strip too.
• 6:38
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and you can gamble, you know, once 2020's behind us, I mean, we all need to place a bed at midnight and hope for the best.
• 6:44
  Dayna Roselli: But that's true.
• 6:46
  Dayna Roselli: And downtown Las Vegas, uh Jonathan Jocel, the CEO of the plaza, said he's still gonna have uh fireworks there in downtown Las Vegas.
• 6:54
  Dayna Roselli: So it's basically our strip, big spectacular that we aren't gonna have.
• 6:58
  Dayna Roselli: But like you mentioned, I mean, a lot of the hotel casinos are gonna do events and have special things going on.
• 7:04
  Dayna Roselli: So it's still a place to come and celebrate.
• 7:06
  Dayna Roselli: But you know what, it's for the best for safety.
• 7:08
  Dayna Roselli: We can't be shoulder to shoulder a sea of, you know, 300,000 people in the middle of the strip at a time like this because we don't really, it's kind of the unknown and we don't, we don't know still where we're gonna be number wise and attentions are high and all sorts of stuff.
• 7:22
  Dayna Roselli: I I think it's a good, I'm gonna have to say I think it was a good call.
• 7:26
  Dayna Roselli: You, Sean?
• 7:27
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it's a smart move not to have the fireworks this year.
• 7:30
  Sean McAllister: Anything that's going to encourage congregating of large crowds, obviously not a smart idea.
• 7:37
  Sean McAllister: So, you know, it's the smart move.
• 7:39
  Sean McAllister: It needed to be done, even though it is a disappointing move.
• 7:43
  Dayna Roselli: That's right.
• 7:44
  Dayna Roselli: All right, we want to get to our guest today.
• 7:46
  Dayna Roselli: So we're gonna take a quick break and we're gonna come back with uh John D.
• 7:51
  Dayna Roselli: Domenico.
• 7:52
  Dayna Roselli: He's fabulous.
• 7:53
  Dayna Roselli: You gotta hear his take on, you know, being one of those people that acts and does comedy uh and impersonates Donald Trump because he's had a very, very successful four years and he's in high demand this week.
• 8:07
  Dayna Roselli: John, he took he took 20 minutes to hang with us, and and we're excited about it.
• 8:12
  Sean McAllister: It'll be a beautiful interview, the most beautiful interview ever done coming up next on Vegas Revealed.

• 8:51
  Sean McAllister: And the kind of the two don't usually go together, but Yeah, and you know, this is uh one of those elections that obviously here in the United States, uh our listeners have been paying attention to it, but we also have a lot of listeners overseas, and no doubt our president has caught their attention too.

• 9:50

  Dayna Roselli: Austin Powers, baby, yeah.

• 10:09
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I do a bunch of you know, quick day Leno.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_06: Hey, you guys doing?
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_06: Good to see you.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_06: It's so great to be on the show.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_06: You know, I'm in Las Vegas all the time.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_06: All the time.
• 10:18
  Dayna Roselli: You're really good at that.
• 10:19
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my gosh.
• 10:20
  Dayna Roselli: It just feels good to laugh.
• 10:21
  Dayna Roselli: And I know that's really what you are trying to just really accomplish with all this, right?
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, you know, I don't have an axe to grind.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_06: I don't have a, you know, there are people who do political characters and they have their own agenda, especially more on the national stage.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_06: You know, for me, I'm I'm an actor, comedian.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_06: I want to, I'm, you know, I'm old school.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_06: I want to make everybody laugh.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_06: I don't feel that I should be forcing my political views on anyone.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_06: And honestly, like no one cares.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_06: Do you know what I mean?
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_06: Everyone just wants to be entertained and they don't want anything pushed in their face.
• 10:57
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and obviously, over the last four years, the the one character that has really stood out and that really has, I mean, expanded your horizons and brought you to new audiences is President Trump.
• 11:12
  Sean McAllister: So if we can talk over.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_05: I thought you were gonna say Bill Clinton.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_05: Hey, how you doing?
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_05: Is Hillary there?
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_05: I can't find her.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_02: I've interviewed President Clinton once, let me tell you, one-on-one, and you sound just like him.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_05: That's right.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_05: You know, he he he is he's always running out of oxygen, that's why he's got that scratchy voice.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_06: I love it.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_06: I love it.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_06: But Trump has been this, it's you know, I'm very lucky because I started doing him back in 2004, and I started following him back about 1985.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_06: So I've had this really long runway with him, and it's been it's it's just been you know, right place, right time.
• 11:54
  Sean McAllister: And and so in that long runway of time and the observations that you've had over the years, has anything changed with his mannerisms in in the past four years?
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_06: Well, you know what's really it's fascinating, you know, because I I had a speech impediment as a child, and that's uh I was in eight years of speech therapy, and I was actually doing voices uh when I was five, and uh when I did the voices, I didn't have the speech impediment, so I did eight years of speech therapy, and you learn over time when you're working with a speech pathologist that we're all kind of fixed in a way that we speak, but Trump defies that.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_06: He he adds vocal ticks, they disappear, he adds things to the way he speaks.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_06: Um and I'll give you a perfect example.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_06: Um the day after the election, uh the day after the inauguration, he went to the CIA and he did something he'd never done before.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_07: And I you know, I study this guy, but he's at the CIA and he says, you know, you know, I'm I look out, I look out, and I see all these people, I see all these people, all these incredible people, and the press, the press, they say, There's nobody there.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_07: There's nobody there.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_06: And he does this, he does this whisper that I had honestly never heard before.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_06: And then during the campaign he goes ping bong pong ping ding ping bong pong ping dong, which is uh since has disappeared.
• 13:18
  Sean McAllister: That is so crazy.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, and then during the um and during the debates he added the well, I have to tell you, no, Hillary's a puppet.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_06: You know, the sniffs became part of the whole thing, which was very interesting, and I had never heard that before.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_06: So you kind of start folding these things in, and then the last few weeks he's been very he's somewhat tired, and his voice is tired, so you can hear him straining to talk, straining to talk a little bit, but he's tells because of the regenerant.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_06: I have so much energy, so much.
• 13:50
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I mean, I was watching your your cli your clip that's pinned to the top of your Twitter about when you know the president tested negative.
• 13:57
  Dayna Roselli: And it is, I mean, you can't help but just it's it's like you're watching him.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_06: A bunch of stuff that I've done.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_06: I've I started saying Kung Flu back in March.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_06: That was in a lot of my content on my YouTube channel, and then he picked it up in in the summer.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_06: I'm thinking, is this guy watching my videos?
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_06: Is he watching my stuff?
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_06: This is like the fourth time this has happened.
• 14:21
  Sean McAllister: Now now the White House has never ordered a cameo, have they?
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_06: No, they have not.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_06: But um, but I get I've gotten cameo requests from people that like very well-known people for other well-known people.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_06: And I've always been blown away by when the names come in.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_06: I know who they are because I I spent a year, I've I've always been fascinated by politics.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_06: I spent a year as an intern for a U.S.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_06: senator, so I've always kept it up, obviously more now than ever.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_06: Uh, but it's very interesting to see who comes in.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_06: One I can say is uh Donatella uh Versace, I got one from her assistant for her birthday, which I thought was just really cool.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_06: Um Wow.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, that's true.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_06: And then um I did one for uh Matt Goss, which I did get to see the reaction video.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_06: So that's you know, that was a local thing, but it was really, really cool.
• 15:16
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I was there, I watched it, it was hilarious.
• 15:18
  Dayna Roselli: We were dying, you were commenting on his blue eyes, and and it was so funny.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_06: You know, most English people not attractive, not attractive people, I have to tell you.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_08: Matt, I don't know what they did with him, but he's a good looking guy, good looking guy.
• 15:33
  Sean McAllister: And as divisive as uh Donald Trump is as a uh political figure, have you had that type of reaction from people who see your videos?
• 15:45
  Sean McAllister: Or has it not not too much?
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_06: And kind of opposite.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_06: Here's here's the thing.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_06: I mean, when someone doesn't like someone, you wouldn't think they'd order a cameo, but my cameo orders, and I do about 10 a day, are usually like 60% pro-Trump and 40%.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_06: Literally, they say there's one that I have to do to say it's like my mom hates Trump.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_06: It would be hilarious to have a birthday message from her.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_06: So the the beauty of Trump, not necessarily as president, but as who he is, just affects people so viscerally.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_06: And I always think about the story of uh Colonel Tom Parker, uh Elvis' manager.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_06: When Elvis took off, you know, he was a phenomenon and you know, obviously Colonel Tom made buttons that said, I love Elvis.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_06: And he saw how a lot of the boys hated Elvis, so he made buttons that said, I hate Elvis.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_06: So so he, you know, it's one of these things where people if they love him, they really love him, and if they hate him, they love to hate him.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_06: Kind of the way people hate listen to Howard Stern years ago.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_06: So it's he draws people in even if they don't like him, which is fascinating.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_06: The psychology behind that is fascinating.
• 17:00
  Dayna Roselli: No, and I noticed by the a lot of the comments under your YouTubes and your social media, people are pretty popular just saying, you know, it's funny, it's right on.
• 17:08
  Dayna Roselli: Wow, this has really made me laugh.
• 17:10
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my gosh, I feel like I'm what you know, listening to the president.
• 17:13
  Dayna Roselli: So people seem to get a kick out of it, and there doesn't seem like there's a lot of you know, tons of negativity towards you in any way.
• 17:19
  Dayna Roselli: You're just kind of making people people smile.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_06: I want to make, yeah, I want to make the satire of it.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_06: I'll give you the perfect example.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_06: When I was doing the um totally outrageous show at the SLS, which is now back to being the Sahara, you know, the show would end and people come up to me and say, Hey, we're from Minnesota and we love Trump, and that was really funny, because I did like a 12-minute set in the show, and then 10 seconds later, someone comes up to and says, Hey, we're from LA, we hate Trump, but that was really funny.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_06: So, you know, if I can entertain both sides of the aisle with this character, and you know, non-political characters, it really doesn't matter.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_06: But if I can entertain both sides of the aisle aisle and make everybody laugh and maybe bring people together in that in that moment, I I think that's a really good thing.
• 18:04
  Sean McAllister: And you mentioned uh Howard Stern just a second ago, and you've caught his attention too.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_06: Yes, I made my fourth appearance earlier this week, and I am I'm not I'm scheduled, and I say scheduled because they're kind of they'll change things there.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_06: I'm scheduled to be back on um uh as Trump on uh election day and the day after, but you never know.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_06: There's they're very kind of organic there.
• 18:30
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 18:30
  Dayna Roselli: When you've done so many shows, and and I was gonna ask you, uh, like because this president, like I've always felt like, oh, you need to respect the president, it's not appropriate to make fun this and that.
• 18:39
  Dayna Roselli: But I mean, this president, you know, calls people names, make fun of people.
• 18:44
  Dayna Roselli: For the first time in my life, I felt like, well, I mean, I guess if people joke around about him in some ways, it's it's okay because he gives it out and he's gotta be prepared to take it back because he's he's the leader, he's setting the path, right?
• 18:58
  Dayna Roselli: So do you feel like it makes it a little bit easier because he is the type to just make fun of anyone anyway?
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, because he, you know, that that is literally his brand.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_06: There's two things about Trump it's the name calling, uh, which he's always done from literally go back anywhere in his career, and then also he always needs a villain.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_06: And and you know, like I said, I've been following him since the mid-80s.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_06: He's always needs a villain.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_06: So that's kind of part of his whole shit that it's the you know, this guy is a total moron, total moron, but it could be the guy who you know sends rockets into space, so it's always a part of it where he himself says, you know, it's it's like wrestling.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_06: He he's part of it is tongue-in-cheek, and you can tell the times when he really means it.
• 19:48
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, but bottom line, it's all a big show.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, and and he himself has has said that.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_06: And how long have you been in Las Vegas?
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_06: I I've been here nine years.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_06: Okay.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_06: And it's a b I can honestly say it is the best move I've ever made in my life.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_06: I love Philadelphia where I'm from, and I love New York where I started.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_06: But when I got here nine years ago, I was welcomed by the entertainment community.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_06: I was folded into the community, I was introduced to people.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_06: I've never felt so supported, so loved.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_06: There is not a sense of competition here where people have their knives out.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_06: Everyone wants to help one another.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_06: And it and here there's it's a little different.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_06: We're in New York and the actors are with the actors, and the comedians are with the comedians, and the dancers are with the dancers, and the theater people with the theater people.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_06: Here it's all mixed together.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_06: You you know, you know people who are aerialists from the surf, and you know singers from the nightclubs, and you know people from production shows, and it's a really beautiful uh mix of people.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_06: It's an incredibly supportive group of people.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_06: My heart breaks for a lot of my friends who are struggling right now during COVID because all they want to do is get in front of an audience and perform, and they can't do it.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_06: It just it just it just sucks.
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_06: You know, there's just no other word for it.
• 21:12
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, no, it's true.
• 21:13
  Dayna Roselli: It's true.
• 21:14
  Dayna Roselli: It's it's you know, at a time where your work keeps rolling, you know, yeah, yeah.
• 21:19
  Dayna Roselli: And and it won't go away.
• 21:21
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, win or lose this election.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_06: Winner lose, yeah.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_06: And and you know, funny thing is, even before the last election, people would say to me, Hey, what's gonna happen if uh Trump doesn't win?
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_06: I'm like, Are you kidding me?
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_06: This guy, you know, after a nuclear holocaust, he's still gonna be around.
• 21:36
  SPEAKER_06: Well, he is such a person he's such an iconic American personality.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_06: So if he doesn't win, he's never going to shut up.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_06: He'll be tweeting until the day he, you know, the day he moves on.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_06: So he's just that that powerful.
• 21:53
  Sean McAllister: And with that said, uh given that uh this is election week uh across the United States.
• 22:00
  Sean McAllister: States.
• 22:00
  Sean McAllister: The the final votes will be cast on Tuesday.
• 22:04
  Sean McAllister: The results will uh come in whenever they come in.
• 22:07
  Sean McAllister: But can you give us uh your prediction of what we might be hearing uh from uh Donald Trump in the coming days?
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_06: Well, it's gonna be a Trump slide, it's gonna be absolutely incredible.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_06: And after this election, we're getting rid of the Electoral College and we're gonna replace it with Trump University.
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_08: Everyone's gonna get a free class.
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_08: It's gonna be absolutely tremendous, I have to tell you.
• 22:32

• 22:59
  SPEAKER_06: So if you're following me in different places, I try to give you a different experience on each one.
• 23:05
  Dayna Roselli: And then on Cameo, because I know, like you said, you're popular, so we go to Cameo, we look you up, and then we we type in a scenario, right?

  Dayna Roselli: Welcome back, and it is time for Dana and Sean's secret tips.
• 26:23
  Dayna Roselli: And you know what?
• 26:24
  Dayna Roselli: We want to talk about Circa because we went to the pre-grand opening party, and let me tell you, we have a lot to talk about, and some involve tips, some involve just wacky stories.
• 26:36
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and I think we're gonna start out with the wacky stories because you might have seen a picture posted on our Vegas revealed Instagram, and you might be wondering, what the heck is Dana doing?
• 26:48
  Sean McAllister: She's got on sunglasses, she's kind of bent over, her shoes are a little bit kicked off, and it looked like there was a situation happening, and that's because there was a situation happening.
• 27:02
  Sean McAllister: So, Dana, I'll let you take it away.
• 27:04
  Dayna Roselli: Well, Sean, we hadn't been out, you know, to like a classy event in so long.
• 27:08
  Dayna Roselli: So uh, you know, it's a big deal, right?
• 27:10
  Dayna Roselli: So I I I get in my my dress, my my Sergio Rossi heels with the, you know, with the like you know, little crystals on them.
• 27:19
  Dayna Roselli: I'm all set to go.
• 27:21
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 27:22
  Dayna Roselli: Well, I get there and like literally, like, I don't even know, like 45 minutes after we were there, I just started to like not be able to walk in my shoes.
• 27:29
  Dayna Roselli: I couldn't figure it out because they've always fit perfect.
• 27:32
  Dayna Roselli: I'm good at walking in high heels.
• 27:34
  Dayna Roselli: But like it was like they were bigger than normal.
• 27:36
  Dayna Roselli: I'm like, did my feet grow?
• 27:38
  Dayna Roselli: What's going on?
• 27:39
  Dayna Roselli: So I looked at you guys in panic, like, we've got a lot of places to go and walk around.
• 27:43
  Dayna Roselli: So I don't really know what to do here because I can't just take my shoes off.
• 27:47
  Dayna Roselli: I'm not one of those people to walk around in my bare feet.
• 27:49
  Sean McAllister: Well, in the first sign of trouble, so Dana, when I first saw you, when we first met up inside circa for the big grand opening party, I was coming over to you.
• 28:02
  Sean McAllister: We were talking on the phone so that we could find each other.
• 28:04
  Sean McAllister: You turned around and you like just fell out of your shoe.
• 28:10
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 28:11
  Dayna Roselli: Like I was wearing like like like if I was a little kid and I was wearing my mom's slippers.
• 28:16
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 28:17
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 28:18
  Sean McAllister: So so that was I didn't think anything of that, but then as the night went on, it almost looked like you were ice skating inside of your shoes.
• 28:29
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 28:29
  Dayna Roselli: My friend Melissa said I looked like I was walking in mud or something.
• 28:32
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know.
• 28:33
  Dayna Roselli: It was like weird.
• 28:34
  Dayna Roselli: So we couldn't figure it out, but it is what it is, right?
• 28:36
  Dayna Roselli: How are we gonna solve this problem?
• 28:38
  Dayna Roselli: So you uh and and my friend Melissa were very smart in saying, hey, like we could go buy flip-flops.
• 28:44
  Dayna Roselli: I had flip-flop flops in my car, but it was really far away.
• 28:47
  Dayna Roselli: So I was like, great, and we looked and there was a swim store, thank goodness, right?
• 28:52
  Dayna Roselli: And it was open.
• 28:52
  Dayna Roselli: And we weren't sure if it was gonna be open because the property didn't actually open until midnight, and this is like 8:30.
• 28:59
  Sean McAllister: But thank goodness the the merchandise was on sale.
• 29:03
  Sean McAllister: There was someone at the register, and it was like the savior of the night finding the swim store that sold flip-flops for Dana.
• 29:13
  Dayna Roselli: That's right.
• 29:14
  Dayna Roselli: So we get in there, and I had no choice but to buy$39 flip-flops.
• 29:18
  Dayna Roselli: Uh they're very nice, they're black with little little shimmeries on them.
• 29:22
  Dayna Roselli: And uh then I started trying on the sunglasses, and then I went to buy the flip-flops.
• 29:26
  Dayna Roselli: I forgot to take the sunglasses off.
• 29:28
  Dayna Roselli: So I'm masked.
• 29:29
  Dayna Roselli: I'm wearing sunglasses, I'm in a black dress, black flip-flops, holding Sergio Rossi's in my hand, and and and we moved on with the night.
• 29:37
  Sean McAllister: And we were a bit giddy even at that point.
• 29:40
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, we had a couple glasses of wine, and then um listen, it was a it was a fabulous night.
• 29:45
  Dayna Roselli: We got to see a lot of familiar faces, but it was weird being masked, right?
• 29:48
  Dayna Roselli: Because some faces we recognized, and others you had to be like, wait, who are you?
• 29:52
  Sean McAllister: Well, it's difficult to decipher who a person is by just seeing like the bridge of their nose and their eyes.
• 30:01
  Sean McAllister: You know, that's it was there were people who I've known for over a decade who I ran into and I didn't realize who they were until they said, Hey, Sean, it's me.
• 30:17
  Sean McAllister: And I was like, oh, okay.
• 30:21
  Sean McAllister: It's tough.
• 30:22
  Dayna Roselli: It is tough, it is tough.
• 30:24
  Dayna Roselli: So we were, you know, moving around, mingling.
• 30:27
  Dayna Roselli: I think the sports book is incredible.
• 30:28
  Dayna Roselli: It's three levels, it's gorgeous.
• 30:30
  Dayna Roselli: We went out to stadium swim.
• 30:32
  Dayna Roselli: We had to go up the long escalator.
• 30:33
  Dayna Roselli: That's where kind of the ceremony was.
• 30:35
  Dayna Roselli: There were synchronized swimmers out there.
• 30:37
  Dayna Roselli: Derek Stevens, the owner, and his wife came down the middle aisle with showgirls.
• 30:42
  Dayna Roselli: You know, the mayor and and former mayor Oscar Goodman were there.
• 30:45
  Dayna Roselli: It was a whole thing.
• 30:46
  Sean McAllister: A big production for sure.
• 30:48
  Sean McAllister: And uh by the way, you mentioned the escalator.
• 30:51
  Sean McAllister: I do believe that is the longest escalator in the world.
• 30:56
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, I think so.
• 30:58
  Sean McAllister: And I believe it's we were on it for a while.
• 31:01
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and I'm in this whole germ thing, so I'm not trying not to touch the sides, right?
• 31:05
  Dayna Roselli: So we're like standing there, don't touch the sides, don't touch the sides, trying to balance.
• 31:09
  Dayna Roselli: Thank god I had my flip-flops because you know it was a long ride up the escalator.
• 31:14
  Sean McAllister: It was, but it was worth it.
• 31:16
  Sean McAllister: Stadium swim is amazing.
• 31:18
  Sean McAllister: Uh all around Circa is just a really nice and classy property.
• 31:26
  Sean McAllister: And uh one of their premier restaurants that they have there is uh by Chef Barry, who a lot of us have gotten to know over the years uh from launching Nine Steakhouse over at the Palms.
• 31:41
  Dayna Roselli: That's right.
• 31:42
  Dayna Roselli: And we saw him there when we walked inside and we thought, oh, we need to grab Chef Barry and and interview him, and and we need to know what do we need to order and what's different about this restaurant than Nine at uh the Palms.
• 31:53
  Dayna Roselli: And so it's Barry's Downtown Prime, it's the big feature restaurant at Circa.
• 31:58
  Dayna Roselli: And here's our chat with Chef Barry.

• 32:59
  SPEAKER_00: I uh my dad always told me you take the you take the worst situation and you make it good.

  Dayna Roselli: Um, okay, so then midnight, you know, comes around and we're like, okay, now Circa's open.
• 36:28
  Dayna Roselli: So we're looking at all these machines and we're like, well, we need to play something.
• 36:31
  Dayna Roselli: So we went for the digital roulette, and um I didn't win, you didn't win, but your husband won, so we kind of feel like we won because it was part of the group, right?
• 36:41
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, exactly.
• 36:42
  Sean McAllister: And I don't I felt like no matter what number Shane was putting his chips on, like it hit.
• 36:50
  Sean McAllister: Like every like route spin after spin, it was landing on his numbers.
• 36:57
  Sean McAllister: And so we we got up to you know, put in 20 bucks in the machine and got up over a hundred pretty quickly.
• 37:04
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and I was proud of him because he hit cash out, and that's the most important thing to do.
• 37:09
  Dayna Roselli: But we whipped out the voice recorder, and we have this moment on record.
• 37:13
  Dayna Roselli: So, you know what?
• 37:14
  Dayna Roselli: Oh no, share it with the podcast listeners.
• 37:16
  Dayna Roselli: Stay slowly, take a listen.
• 37:18
  Dayna Roselli: This is going down in history.
• 37:19
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, we played some of the games here for the first time ever.
• 37:23
  SPEAKER_03: The first time that people actually played the games, lost money on them, won money on them.
• 37:29
  SPEAKER_03: We lost for the first time.
• 37:31
  SPEAKER_03: But it's the first$101 that anybody has ever won on the like digital roulette game outside Saginaw's delicatessen.
• 37:42
  Dayna Roselli: Well, thank goodness, Sean.
• 37:44
  Dayna Roselli: You got a room next door because um, you know, as you can tell by your enthusiasm, it was a it was a good night.
• 37:51
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it it it was a good night.
• 37:53
  Sean McAllister: It was uh feeling very good after midnight there.
• 37:57
  Dayna Roselli: Here's the thing though, your room at the downtown grand, what did it cost?
• 38:01
  Dayna Roselli: 35 bucks?
• 38:02
  Sean McAllister: It was 35 bucks, yeah.
• 38:04
  Dayna Roselli: I paid 24 in parking to leave circa.
• 38:07
  Dayna Roselli: So in a in in all reality, we both pretty much spent the same.
• 38:12
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I guess so.
• 38:14
  Sean McAllister: And it was it was a good deal to you know just be a block away at the downtown grand.
• 38:20
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I mean, excellent.
• 38:21
  Dayna Roselli: It was a really, really fun night.
• 38:23
  Dayna Roselli: But we did want to mention a couple things.
• 38:25
  Dayna Roselli: You want to mention something about the 99 cent shrimp cocktail?
• 38:28
  Dayna Roselli: I wanted to mention the pay parking because I just want people to know the self-parking garage, pretty incredible, very nice garage.
• 38:34
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it was free for the event, but since I stayed after midnight, I ended up having to pay for parking.
• 38:40
  Dayna Roselli: So I believe it's four dollars an hour.
• 38:42
  Dayna Roselli: I paid$24.
• 38:44
  Dayna Roselli: I was there from like about 7 p.m.
• 38:46
  Dayna Roselli: to I think 12 31.
• 38:48
  Dayna Roselli: So um, so you do have to pay.
• 38:50
  Dayna Roselli: Keep that in mind if you do go to circa.
• 38:53
  Dayna Roselli: Um, that you do have to pay for parking, plan your time, maybe you go somewhere else and walk over, maybe you do the valet.
• 39:00
  Dayna Roselli: I don't, you know, however it works for you.
• 39:02
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I know.
• 39:03
  Sean McAllister: Somebody uh sent me a text this morning who had gone to Circa to watch a football game, and they were like, hey, I didn't know that you had to pay to park there.
• 39:12
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, you know, so that is part of the deal.
• 39:15
  Sean McAllister: But uh last week I had mentioned that Circa is bringing back the 99 cent shrimp cocktail, which is like a classic Vegas menu item that you don't see very much anymore.
• 39:30
  Sean McAllister: However, there are stipulations.
• 39:33
  Sean McAllister: So this 99 cent shrimp cocktail is available from 3 a.m.
• 39:39
  Sean McAllister: to 5 a.m.
• 39:40
  Sean McAllister: when you purchase a meal inside Saginaw's delicatessen.
• 39:45
  Sean McAllister: So there are some parameters that you have to work within to get that 99 cent shrimp cocktail, but nonetheless, it is available.
• 39:54
  Sean McAllister: But it looks good.
• 39:55
  Sean McAllister: Yes, yes, it'll be good to go back and and hang out on a more of a normal night over at Circa.
• 40:03
  Sean McAllister: Great to see uh a brand new property opening up here in Las Vegas, though.
• 40:07
  Sean McAllister: It's always exciting.
• 40:08
  Dayna Roselli: It is, always, and such so fun to see everyone.
• 40:12
  Dayna Roselli: And I know I saw a lot of people that even follow us on Twitter, some of the amazing uh bloggers out there, they were all at the event too.
• 40:19
  Dayna Roselli: And like I said, we were all masked, so it was hard to hunt down and chat with every single person that we wanted to.
• 40:24
  Dayna Roselli: But go check it out.
• 40:25
  Dayna Roselli: Circa in uh downtown Las Vegas is officially open.
• 40:28
  Dayna Roselli: What a great podcast! I know I say it every week, but I really feel like this week was a great podcast.
• 40:34
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and another big thank you to John Di Domenico, who is uh going to have his hands full this week as uh the election results trickle in.
• 40:43
  Dayna Roselli: That's right.
• 40:44
  Dayna Roselli: And we'll catch you uh next week with I guess a result of who our new president is at that time, right?
• 40:51
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, hopefully.
