  Sean McAllister: It's directly back in the city where I think I've played more shows than any other city I've ever played in.

  Sean McAllister: Vegas Revealed was there for what may have been the final farewell.
• 0:23
  Sean McAllister: And the weather may be cooling down, but the Las Vegas pizza scene is heating up.
• 0:29
  Sean McAllister: We have details on the spiciest pizza in the world and where it just debuted.

  Sean McAllister: But first, we want to tell you about a new app that is going to change your Las Vegas experience.
• 0:52
  Sean McAllister: It's called Vegas Near Me.
• 0:54
  Sean McAllister: It's now officially launched in the App Store on Apple.
• 0:58
  Sean McAllister: You do need iOS 16 running on your phone in order to use it, so keep that in mind.
• 1:04
  Sean McAllister: Think of Vegas Near Me as kind of a concierge in your pocket.
• 1:09
  Sean McAllister: You'll find more than 16,000 Las Vegas businesses and activities there.
• 1:14
  Dayna Roselli: And instead of reviews, Vegas NearMe has compiled thousands of Las Vegas-related YouTube channels and podcasts like Vegas Revealed so that you can hear about and see real-life experiences at the places you're searching.
• 1:27
  Dayna Roselli: You watch and listen all inside the app.
• 1:29
  Dayna Roselli: And what I really love is that Vegas NearMe takes pride in the fact that the hours of business listed in the app are correct.
• 1:36
  Dayna Roselli: There is nothing worse than making a trip somewhere only to find out it's closed.
• 1:41
  Dayna Roselli: That won't happen with Vegas NearMe.
• 1:43
  Sean McAllister: Use our Vegas Revealed link that we provided down in our show notes to download Vegas NearMe to your phone right now.

• 2:01
  Dayna Roselli: If it's fun to do RC, it's on Vegas Near Me.
• 2:05
  Sean McAllister: Let's spin that wheel.
• 2:13
  Dayna Roselli: Welcome to episode 142 of Vegas Revealed.
• 2:16
  Dayna Roselli: Dana Roselli here with Sean McAllister.
• 2:19
  Sean McAllister: And Dana, you're back in Las Vegas after a big overseas trip.
• 2:23
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 2:23
  Dayna Roselli: It feels like when you're gone, it's like really long and enjoyable.
• 2:26
  Dayna Roselli: You get back and then it's like boom, right back to the grind, right?
• 2:29
  Dayna Roselli: Here we are doing another podcast.
• 2:31
  Dayna Roselli: But I quickly wanted to run through some of the things I experienced, if you don't mind, because I know we have a lot of listeners that like to travel internationally.
• 2:39
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and there were some surprising things that kind of caught you off guard a little bit, right?
• 2:43
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I had, you know, some money that I used in 2019 when I went to London.
• 2:47
  Dayna Roselli: Like, and I just didn't go and exchange it back for American money.
• 2:51
  Dayna Roselli: I just thought, well, I'll be back in London because my friend's from there and everything.
• 2:54
  Dayna Roselli: And so I had like 70 pounds, you know, that I was going to use for like taxi cabs and things like that.
• 2:59
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, um, I learned when I was there, literally, as I was there, Sean, the$20, 20, I guess 20 pounds, I should say.
• 3:06
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 3:06
  Dayna Roselli: With the the one with the queen on it, and it's kind of like a paper money, um expired.
• 3:11
  Dayna Roselli: Like they were no longer producing it anymore, and you were no longer allowed to use it.
• 3:16
  Dayna Roselli: So I was like, literally, my luck.
• 3:17
  Dayna Roselli: Like one day I used it, and then the next day they were like, oh, this is outdated.
• 3:21
  Dayna Roselli: We can't take this anymore.
• 3:23
  Sean McAllister: And so is that because it has the queen's image on it and they're switching over to Charles?
• 3:29
  Dayna Roselli: No, I don't think so.
• 3:30
  Dayna Roselli: I think what it is is they turn because I had some tens and fives on me, and it was more of like a plastic feel.
• 3:37
  Sean McAllister: Okay.
• 3:37
  Dayna Roselli: Like a really thin, like almost like it has a coating on it.
• 3:41
  Dayna Roselli: And these these 20 pounds that I had were more like paper and floppy kind of material.
• 3:48
  Dayna Roselli: So apparently those have now like transferred over to the more plasticky kind of money.
• 3:54
  Dayna Roselli: I think it's probably more secure and all that kind of thing.
• 3:56
  Dayna Roselli: So I don't think it had anything to do with the queen and then it being replaced with the king.
• 4:01
  Dayna Roselli: But interesting because that is something they'll have to look up.
• 4:03
  Dayna Roselli: I wonder if they are gonna change some of the money now with the the face on it.
• 4:08
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I would imagine they would.
• 4:09
  Sean McAllister: But so this in this case, they're just taking old money out of circulation and they have a new bill that's come out that's gonna be used uh everywhere.
• 4:20
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly, exactly.
• 4:21
  Dayna Roselli: And it just happened to change over while I was there.
• 4:23
  Dayna Roselli: So I'm like you.
• 4:25
  Dayna Roselli: I know, lucky me.
• 4:25
  Dayna Roselli: So I was like, well, and my friend was like, well, keep this one, it's a good souvenir to have because they don't make it anymore.
• 4:30
  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, that's true.
• 4:31
  Dayna Roselli: So I took it home and I'll keep it because sometimes I do like to collect money from different places that I've been.
• 4:36
  Dayna Roselli: So, and it does have the queen on it, which is kind of cool, you know, um, very historic and to keep as a that.
• 4:42
  Dayna Roselli: But anyway, I was a part of history, yeah.
• 4:44
  Dayna Roselli: So I was able to use like uh some of the money, but not all of it.
• 4:47
  Dayna Roselli: But that was fine, whatever.
• 4:48
  Dayna Roselli: I just resorted to the American Express.
• 4:51
  Dayna Roselli: Um, okay, so that was one thing that I learned.
• 4:53
  Dayna Roselli: So if you've got some old pounds and you go back to England, uh remember you won't be able to use that.
• 5:00
  Dayna Roselli: Uh something else.
• 5:02
  Dayna Roselli: Terminal three at Harry Reid Airport.
• 5:04
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 5:06
  Dayna Roselli: Pet peeve.
• 5:07
  Sean McAllister: Uh-oh.
• 5:08
  Dayna Roselli: First of all, my flight was supposed to take off at 9:30.
• 5:11
  Dayna Roselli: But usually with international flights, you want to get there well in advance.
• 5:15
  Dayna Roselli: They encourage it, right?
• 5:16
  Dayna Roselli: Yep.
• 5:17
  Dayna Roselli: So I did.
• 5:17
  Dayna Roselli: I was like there two hours early, even though they recommend three.
• 5:20
  Dayna Roselli: I was still, but you know, with two hours, you have a plan.
• 5:22
  Dayna Roselli: Like, well, I'm gonna grab a coffee, maybe I'll, you know, eat there, that kind of thing.
• 5:26
  Dayna Roselli: Because you're in this terminal for such a long period of time, it's not like a domestic flight.
• 5:31
  Dayna Roselli: But the food choices, there was like everything was closed.
• 5:33
  Dayna Roselli: There was one Carl Jr.
• 5:34
  Dayna Roselli: that was open, and the line was wrapped down the row because there were several international flights that were taking off.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: Really?
• 5:42
  Dayna Roselli: And they were like out of ice and the soft drink, they were out of this, they were out of that.
• 5:47
  Dayna Roselli: It was just like mayhem.
• 5:49
  Dayna Roselli: And I thought, come on.
• 5:50
  Sean McAllister: I mean There was nothing else open, nothing else open.
• 5:54
  Dayna Roselli: Literally nothing.
• 5:55
  Dayna Roselli: There was grab like a grab and go little place where you could grab a bottled drink and maybe some nuts.
• 6:00
  Sean McAllister: But other than that, oh my gosh, because there's so many places where like a TGI Fridays kind of thing where you can go and sit at the bar and order food.
• 6:09
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 6:09
  Dayna Roselli: No, I walked down the whole thing because I had time.
• 6:11
  Dayna Roselli: I'm like nothing.
• 6:12
  Dayna Roselli: Everything was closed.
• 6:13
  Dayna Roselli: So it was super frustrating.
• 6:14
  Dayna Roselli: I thought, you know, come on, this is an international terminal.
• 6:16
  Dayna Roselli: I get, but if you're gonna have flights, I get that things can't be open 24, you know, hours a day.
• 6:22
  Dayna Roselli: But if you're gonna have late flights that leave at 9:30, and then if they're delayed, I don't think mine left till 10.
• 6:27
  Dayna Roselli: You know, this was it, whatever two hours before that was, you know, eight, 7:30 and things were closing.
• 6:34
  Dayna Roselli: So I was really frustrated with that.
• 6:35
  Dayna Roselli: So come on, Harry Reid airport.
• 6:37
  Dayna Roselli: Let's LAS, let's get things open a little bit longer.
• 6:41
  Dayna Roselli: Um, another thing that I experienced that was really easy was when I landed at Heathrow, you can now just hold your passport up to a scanner and walk right through.
• 6:51
  Dayna Roselli: You don't even have to interact with a person to get through customs.
• 6:54
  Dayna Roselli: Get customs, really.
• 6:55
  Dayna Roselli: It was so easy.
• 6:56
  Dayna Roselli: So there were people you could pick which one you wanted to go to, but this thing was super easy.
• 7:01
  Dayna Roselli: I literally scanned my passport, it took a picture, and I walked right through.
• 7:05
  Dayna Roselli: It was great.
• 7:06
  Sean McAllister: That's incredible.
• 7:06
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 7:07
  Dayna Roselli: So take advantage.
• 7:08
  Dayna Roselli: I did that once in the Bahamas in like 20, that might have been 2019 too, but I've never seen it anywhere else.
• 7:14
  Dayna Roselli: And I thought like a massive airport like that, that they wouldn't have that, but they did, and it was great.
• 7:19
  Dayna Roselli: So FYI, and you don't have to fill out those cards anymore.
• 7:22
  Dayna Roselli: Remember, you used to have to fill out a card on the plane.
• 7:25
  Dayna Roselli: No more.
• 7:25
  Dayna Roselli: So it was really easy to get in and out, and this was on both ways, um, in and out of country.
• 7:31
  Dayna Roselli: So that was uh something that I experienced that was a joy.
• 7:35
  Dayna Roselli: Uh it seems like over the last few years they've made some changes there.
• 7:38
  Dayna Roselli: So um, something else that I wanted to have a quick discussion about was like three different conversations I had about Las Vegas.
• 7:48
  Dayna Roselli: One was as I was on my plane to go to London, I was sitting next to some people and they said it was their first time in Vegas.
• 7:55
  Dayna Roselli: Um they were older, and I don't want to say older, but like they weren't, you know, in their 20s or anything like that.
• 8:00
  Dayna Roselli: Um and they said they had a great time, but they thought Vegas was really expensive.
• 8:04
  Dayna Roselli: And I thought, huh, that's interesting.
• 8:06
  Dayna Roselli: Because then we had one of our listeners uh write us from Germany saying he was in town for a couple weeks, had the best time, but that he thought it was really expensive from last time that he came.
• 8:18
  Dayna Roselli: Even they had like a um time in between, they were saying in two different hotels, but they had like two days in between that, where they were just gonna find another hotel.
• 8:27
  Dayna Roselli: And they said it was so expensive on the strip that they actually went to, I think it was the Sun Coast, and they said even that was like, I can't remember if it was uh Sunset Station or the Sun Coast, but anyway, even but they said even that they couldn't even get for under 300 bucks.
• 8:40
  Dayna Roselli: Wow.
• 8:41
  Dayna Roselli: So they were saying that was kind of disappointing.
• 8:43
  Dayna Roselli: They said, We'll be back, we had such a great time, but it was expensive.
• 8:46
  Dayna Roselli: Then I was talking to one of the taxicab drivers in uh actually sorry, an Uber driver in London that was taking me to the airport, and he said the same thing that it's really expensive in Vegas lately, and that it's hard to go for those 10-day jaunts, you know, where people really make the most of their holiday um to do anymore.
• 9:06
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm thinking, yeah, I mean, it does add up.
• 9:08
  Dayna Roselli: And if you're a gambler and you're not winning, um, if you're not a gambler, you know, it's expensive restaurants and hotels and shows and stuff like that.
• 9:16
  Dayna Roselli: But um, if you if you do enjoy gambling and that's why you're going and you're not having a good week, it can really add up.
• 9:22
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and I I think for me, I I am not very surprised to hear that.
• 9:28
  Sean McAllister: I feel like over the years, Las Vegas has been kind of transitioning away from that budget-friendly, you know, all you can eat buffet, the$9.99, you know, steak and shrimp dinner.
• 9:41
  Sean McAllister: Uh that the city as a whole has been kind of drifting away from that and moving more toward the the luxury market, right?
• 9:49
  Sean McAllister: With uh what's being offered for accommodations and dining as well, and retail for that matter.
• 9:57
  Sean McAllister: Um so yeah, I I feel like it's true.
• 10:02
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 10:02
  Sean McAllister: It's not getting less expensive to come to Vegas.
• 10:05
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and I think we live here and we do a lot of things um on the strip, but we forget, you know, we're not staying in the hotel rooms, we're not constantly getting an$18 glass of wine and that kind of thing.
• 10:17
  Dayna Roselli: So if you're staying here, it is a different, you know, experience for you.
• 10:22
  Dayna Roselli: I would say the only time we were talked about as being budget friendly was in the middle of the pandemic when we were opened at 25-50%.
• 10:30
  Dayna Roselli: Remember, everyone was coming into town because they said the room deals, you'll never be able to get these deals.
• 10:35
  Sean McAllister: There were like$30 rooms.
• 10:37
  Dayna Roselli: So, I mean, if you didn't come then, you missed the boat.
• 10:40
  Sean McAllister: You sure did.
• 10:41
  Dayna Roselli: So, anyway, something to keep in mind.
• 10:43
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and maybe something that you and I should talk about in maybe like the next few podcasts are some things that are affordable, how to make the best of your week to mix in some expensive things and some cheaper things.
• 10:55
  Sean McAllister: I love that.
• 10:56
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, maybe we should just think about that, concentrate, make a little list, and we could do a podcast about that.
• 11:00
  Sean McAllister: Done.
• 11:00
  Sean McAllister: So expect that in a future episode of Vegas Revealed.
• 11:04
  Sean McAllister: Um, speaking of budget-friendly things, yeah, I mentioned a long time ago here on the podcast uh that Shane, my husband, and I were going to see Elton John for his five fair big farewell tour, the goodbye Yellow Brick Road.
• 11:20
  Sean McAllister: And the tickets for that we found for$45 each at Allegiance Stadium, which I thought was a pretty darn good deal to go and see Elton John in his last show.
• 11:31
  Sean McAllister: Um what kind of uh surprised me is that uh during the concert while Elton was talking, he kind of uh made it sound very official like his chapter of performing in Las Vegas is over.
• 11:49
  Sean McAllister: You know, I know this is his farewell tour, but I think a lot of people presumed, maybe hoped, that after the tour wrapped up and he was able to chill out a little bit, that Elton John would then announce another Las Vegas residency.
• 12:06
  Dayna Roselli: Right, because farewell tour means he wouldn't tour anymore, but it doesn't mean he wouldn't stay put somewhere.
• 12:11
  Sean McAllister: Exactly, exactly.
• 12:13
  Sean McAllister: But take a listen to what he said uh to the audience during his Allegiance Stadium concert uh just the other night.
• 14:20
  Sean McAllister: So Dana, definitively the Rocket Man said that this was his final Las Vegas concert.
• 14:28
  Dayna Roselli: Oh boy, no more takeoff.
• 14:30
  Sean McAllister: No more takeoff.
• 14:31
  Dayna Roselli: The Rocket is back at home base.
• 14:33
  Dayna Roselli: All right.
• 14:34
  Dayna Roselli: Well, Elton's great.
• 14:35
  Dayna Roselli: I'm glad that you got to see him.
• 14:36
  Sean McAllister: The show was good, it was phenomenal.
• 14:38
  Sean McAllister: And you know, there's been talk about audio complaints inside Allegiant Stadium.
• 14:44
  Sean McAllister: Uh we saw Elton from kind of the same spot where we saw uh Garth Brooks.
• 14:49
  Sean McAllister: We were high up and to the left of the stage, and it was crystal clear for us.
• 14:56
  Dayna Roselli: I love that.
• 14:57
  Dayna Roselli: I'm so glad to hear, and maybe they're making improvements.
• 14:59
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it could be because I know they've gotten a lot of feedback about that, and we've talked about it on past you know podcasts as well.
• 15:05
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, feedback is a nice word for it.
• 15:08
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, something uh we didn't have in, but I wanted to mention uh Taylor Swift coming to Allegiant Stadium was a big announcement this week, too.
• 15:14
  Dayna Roselli: Speaking of Allegiant Stadium, um, really exciting because she's stopping in Las Vegas like sooner than later in March of 2023.
• 15:23
  Dayna Roselli: So we're like the second stop on her tour that she's gonna be doing.
• 15:26
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, the Eras is what it's called.
• 15:29
  Sean McAllister: And Dana, you've been listening to Taylor's new album and you've been rocking out to it a little bit.
• 15:35
  Dayna Roselli: You don't even know.
• 15:35
  Dayna Roselli: Sean, on my way over today, I was like, I have listened to this album over and over.
• 15:39
  Dayna Roselli: I'm obsessed.
• 15:40
  Dayna Roselli: And I was never a Swifty, but like I think I've turned into a Swifty.
• 15:44
  Dayna Roselli: Like this album is so good.
• 15:46
  Sean McAllister: So are you gonna go to the concert?
• 15:48
  Dayna Roselli: So I've already pre- I've signed up for the pre, you got to do the whole what do you call it, fan nation.
• 15:53
  Sean McAllister: Oh, the verified fan.
• 15:54
  Sean McAllister: That thing.
• 15:55
  Dayna Roselli: I signed up.
• 15:55
  Dayna Roselli: So I'm gonna look at at prices and see if I get in, you know, because it's all you got to get approved and all that.
• 16:01
  Dayna Roselli: They told me all my instructions, November 14th.
• 16:03
  Dayna Roselli: I'm gonna get an email.
• 16:04
  Sean McAllister: Oh, so it's like Adele.
• 16:05
  Sean McAllister: Mm-hmm.
• 16:06
  Sean McAllister: It is where you had to be a verified fan and then they'll let you know if you're eligible to buy tickets.
• 16:11
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 16:12
  Dayna Roselli: So we'll see what happens for the pre-sale.
• 16:14
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 16:14
  Sean McAllister: Okay.
• 16:15
  Dayna Roselli: So we'll see if I get in on that.
• 16:16
  Dayna Roselli: And even then, I might just browse at prices.
• 16:18
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know, because they they do say they expect this concert to sell out very quickly.
• 16:22
  Dayna Roselli: Wow.
• 16:22
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so it's huge.
• 16:24
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, this Midnight's album is so good.
• 16:26
  Dayna Roselli: At first I listened and I was like, ah, and then I listened again, and then I was packing for London and I had it kind of on loop on my Apple home pod.
• 16:34
  Dayna Roselli: And it just kept playing.
• 16:35
  Dayna Roselli: I'm like, this album is so good.
• 16:38
  Dayna Roselli: It's relatable, the songs are good, they're all kind of a little bit different, and I'm just I'm in love with it.
• 16:44
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm I'm like, oh my gosh, I need to see this show.
• 16:47
  Dayna Roselli: I've always liked her music.
• 16:48
  Dayna Roselli: Her music sticks with you no matter what.
• 16:50
  Dayna Roselli: You know the words, you sing it when you're driving.
• 16:52
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 16:52
  Dayna Roselli: But I just never really like downloaded every album.
• 16:55
  Dayna Roselli: It was like I'd download a song here and there.
• 16:58
  Dayna Roselli: But this album is killer, and she's already like this week broke some records in the singer, singer world, right?
• 17:06
  Dayna Roselli: She had like uh what most songs from her album in the top 100 billboard charts or something like that.
• 17:11
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I think she was she Taylor Swift occupied each of the top 10 spots on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
• 17:20
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 17:22
  Dayna Roselli: Great.
• 17:22
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it makes sense.
• 17:24
  Dayna Roselli: If you listen to the album, you'll get it.
• 17:26
  Dayna Roselli: It's so good.
• 17:27
  Dayna Roselli: I love it.
• 17:27
  Dayna Roselli: I am officially a Swifty.
• 17:29
  Dayna Roselli: So for this album anyway.
• 17:30
  Dayna Roselli: All right.
• 17:31
  Dayna Roselli: The Swiftness may turn off in the next album, but I I think right now I'm on board.
• 17:35
  Sean McAllister: Uh something else we hadn't planned to talk about, but I do want to mention Katy Perry also has added a handful of dates in the new year uh over at Resorts World with her residency play.
• 17:47
  Sean McAllister: So if you haven't been able to see Katy Perry yet, uh there are a bunch of dates in 2023.
• 17:53
  Sean McAllister: You can look that up and see if it fits into your schedule, but just wanted to mention that.
• 17:57
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 17:57
  Dayna Roselli: And now I'm gonna make a mention.

• 20:15
  Dayna Roselli: So we said, okay, sign us up.
• 20:16
  Dayna Roselli: Why not?
• 20:17
  Dayna Roselli: And then we tried a bunch of different things from the chef, and then we passed the plate on to someone that was attending our dinner, and now they will go and do the same thing.
• 20:26
  Dayna Roselli: So it's kind of this series of dinners.
• 20:29
  Dayna Roselli: But Scotch 80 was opened before the pandemic at the Palms.
• 20:34
  Dayna Roselli: It reopened when the Palms reopened as well.
• 20:38
  Dayna Roselli: Uh what, six months ago now, probably.
• 20:41
  Dayna Roselli: Like, yeah, six months ago, something like that.
• 20:43
  Dayna Roselli: Uh recently, more the more recent hotel to open after the pandemic.
• 20:47
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I guess it was like April-ish, right?
• 20:48
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, right.
• 20:49
  Sean McAllister: Something like that.
• 20:50
  Sean McAllister: Okay.
• 20:50
  Dayna Roselli: So we were excited Scotch 80 was back.
• 20:52
  Dayna Roselli: You and I hadn't been back there.
• 20:53
  Dayna Roselli: So when we got this invite, we said we definitely gotta go.
• 20:56
  Dayna Roselli: And what a meal we had.
• 20:57
  Sean McAllister: Oh my gosh.
• 20:58
  Sean McAllister: The courses just kept coming and coming and coming.
• 21:03
  Sean McAllister: Uh Chef Marty Lopez is the the head honcho over at the kitchen at Scotch 80.
• 21:10
  Sean McAllister: And he came over and talked to us.
• 21:12
  Sean McAllister: He was like, you know, uh you can order what you want, but I also want to send out some seasonal things that are uh, you know, in the kitchen just right now while the ingredients are available.
• 21:25
  Sean McAllister: So you know in addition to what you guys order, there might be a couple other things that come out too.
• 21:30
  Sean McAllister: Well, that was an understatement.
• 21:33
  Sean McAllister: We had a full table and full bellies.
• 21:36
  Dayna Roselli: That seafood appetizer that we had, and it was like flaming, right?
• 21:40
  Dayna Roselli: It was like cooking the lobster.
• 21:42
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know what was going on, but it was delicious.
• 21:44
  Sean McAllister: So uh they have two different versions of a sea t seafood tower available.
• 21:50
  Sean McAllister: They have the traditional cold version that you would normally find at a steakhouse or high-end restaurant, but they also have a hot Seafood tower.
• 22:01
  Sean McAllister: And that's what we got.
• 22:02
  Dayna Roselli: That was good.
• 22:03
  Sean McAllister: And especially for the oysters, they were phenomenal.
• 22:11
  Dayna Roselli: Really good.
• 22:11
  Sean McAllister: Because they were just a little bit warmed up from the fire.
• 22:14
  Sean McAllister: I like that.
• 22:15
  Sean McAllister: They'd just been burning there.
• 22:17
  Sean McAllister: And oh, they just had so much flavor.
• 22:20
  Sean McAllister: And the crab and the lobster.
• 22:23
  Sean McAllister: Oh my gosh.
• 22:24
  Dayna Roselli: We had an incredible, like delectable mac and cheese dish that was great.
• 22:30
  Dayna Roselli: And then we had that brie dip.
• 22:32
  Sean McAllister: Oh, that's right.
• 22:33
  Sean McAllister: Red dip.
• 22:33
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my gosh, that was amazing.
• 22:35
  Dayna Roselli: And then you and I, I don't know, I tried the snail.
• 22:37
  Dayna Roselli: Did you?
• 22:37
  Dayna Roselli: I've never had a lot of.
• 22:38
  Sean McAllister: I tried a snail.
• 22:39
  Sean McAllister: The escargot.
• 22:39
  Sean McAllister: Escargo.
• 22:40
  Dayna Roselli: Oh yeah, escargot is a fancy name.
• 22:42
  Dayna Roselli: I forgot.
• 22:42
  Dayna Roselli: It can't take me anywhere.
• 22:44
  Sean McAllister: We were eating cows and snails.
• 22:46
  Dayna Roselli: And then bone marrow, which I actually have never had.
• 22:49
  Dayna Roselli: And I was iffy on if I wanted to.
• 22:51
  Dayna Roselli: And I tried it and it was good.
• 22:52
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know, bone, it's not really my thing, but I know that people love it.
• 22:55
  Sean McAllister: Oh, yeah.
• 22:56
  Sean McAllister: It was good.
• 22:56
  Sean McAllister: That's a big thing.
• 22:58
  Dayna Roselli: So I tried some things that I had never tried before.
• 23:00
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, we had the giant tomahawk steak that came over to the table.
• 23:05
  Sean McAllister: Um my gosh.
• 23:07
  Dayna Roselli: Our friend Stacy is vegan.
• 23:10
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 23:10
  Dayna Roselli: She didn't want the meat, so she had the salmon, which Chef recommended and said it was one of the most popular dishes and delicious.
• 23:17
  Dayna Roselli: And she loved it.
• 23:18
  Dayna Roselli: She loved the salmon.
• 23:20
  Dayna Roselli: So if you're, you know, wanting to go there and you think, oh, it's a steakhouse, I'm not going to find anything.
• 23:25
  Dayna Roselli: No, they have good fish too.
• 23:26
  Sean McAllister: We had a variety of desserts and hot and cold espresso martinis.
• 23:33
  Dayna Roselli: We did.
• 23:34
  Dayna Roselli: Those were good too.
• 23:34
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my gosh.
• 23:35
  Dayna Roselli: We had a fabulous time.
• 23:37
  Dayna Roselli: If you get a chance, go to Scotch 80 at the Palms.
• 23:40
  Dayna Roselli: The decor inside is beautiful.
• 23:42
  Dayna Roselli: The staff was great.
• 23:43
  Dayna Roselli: The table captain Rick, he was great.
• 23:45
  Sean McAllister: He was.
• 23:46
  Sean McAllister: He was terrific.
• 23:47
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 23:47
  Dayna Roselli: Speaking of putting a pin in it, he found me a safety clip, remember?
• 23:51
  Sean McAllister: Oh, he did.
• 23:52
  Sean McAllister: You literally put a pin in it.
• 23:54
  Dayna Roselli: Um, yeah, he I was like, this little button thing in the back of my outfit was just kept coming undone.
• 24:00
  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, I really was looking for a safety pin.
• 24:02
  Dayna Roselli: He was like, hold on, I'll be right back.
• 24:03
  Dayna Roselli: So I mean, they were helpful.
• 24:05
  Sean McAllister: Very helpful in many ways with the menu, too.
• 24:08
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 24:09
  Dayna Roselli: Um, go check out Scotch 80.
• 24:10
  Dayna Roselli: It's at the Palms, one of the many restaurants inside the Palms.
• 24:13
  Dayna Roselli: They have great restaurants over there.
• 24:15
  Dayna Roselli: You just went to one.
• 24:16
  Dayna Roselli: And oh my gosh, yeah, we didn't even talk about this.
• 24:18
  Dayna Roselli: This was when I was in London.
• 24:20
  Dayna Roselli: We didn't even have this on the list.
• 24:21
  Dayna Roselli: You went to Vetri.
• 24:22
  Sean McAllister: Vetri Cucina at the top of the palm.
• 24:24
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 24:24
  Dayna Roselli: How was that?
• 24:25
  Sean McAllister: Oh, it so, first of all, Vetri Cucina, top of the palms, one of the best and most unique views in all of Las Vegas.
• 24:34
  Sean McAllister: You have a 180-degree view of the Las Vegas Strip.
• 24:38
  Sean McAllister: Very intimate, so nice.
• 24:40
  Sean McAllister: The food is phenomenal.
• 24:44
  Sean McAllister: We spoke with uh chef Mark Vetri uh several podcasts ago.
• 24:48
  Sean McAllister: You can search back and and look for that.
• 24:51
  Sean McAllister: Um, but he's like classic Italian Philly are his roots, and he has Vetri Cucina at the top of the palms.
• 25:00
  Sean McAllister: It was fantastic.
• 25:02
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it's a great restaurant.
• 25:04
  Dayna Roselli: Glad that that returned as well, right?
• 25:06
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and it just it is a great, great view.
• 25:10
  Dayna Roselli: And people that come to Las Vegas, we say this over and over.
• 25:14
  Dayna Roselli: You think, oh, the palms is off the strip, I'm not gonna go there.
• 25:16
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, but if you want a view of the entire strip, go to the palms, you know.
• 25:21
  Sean McAllister: And you can make an evening of it.
• 25:23
  Sean McAllister: You can.
• 25:23
  Sean McAllister: I mean, they there's entertainment over there, terrific restaurants.
• 25:28
  Sean McAllister: Then you can, you know, go up to Ghost Bar and have a post-dinner cocktail and kind of get the party vibe going up there as the night goes on.
• 25:38
  Sean McAllister: It really is a great spot.
• 25:40
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it is.
• 25:41
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I wanted to switch gears quickly and just touch on the When We Were Young festival because we talked about this festival that was super popular.
• 25:49
  Dayna Roselli: They started with selling one day, it sold out immediately, they had to add another.
• 25:53
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, that sold out immediately, and then they added another the following weekend.
• 25:57
  Dayna Roselli: So uh the sad part about this festival was that it was the one day that we had some really bad wind blow in, and they had to cancel the festival on the first day, let very last minute.
• 26:09
  Dayna Roselli: And we know that they've already announced the lineup for for next year.
• 26:13
  Dayna Roselli: And so if you're thinking about going, there was a lot of discussion about, you know, was this fair and this and that?
• 26:19
  Dayna Roselli: And like, here's the deal.
• 26:19
  Dayna Roselli: It was the weather.
• 26:20
  Dayna Roselli: There's nothing you can do, safety first, right?
• 26:22
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 26:22
  Dayna Roselli: But so you're like, well, why were people complaining?
• 26:24
  Dayna Roselli: It's like, well, people did come in for this festival specifically, so they were frustrated.
• 26:30
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and they felt like I was looking at some of like, what's their argument that they're so angry at the festival, the people that were.
• 26:37
  Dayna Roselli: And it was like they were basically saying that they felt like the forecast kind of called for the wind and they should have planned accordingly, maybe canceled earlier or had like a space indoors.
• 26:48
  Dayna Roselli: But I just want to say I saw them putting this whole festival grounds together, and it was like a good week and a half, two weeks to construct the site for stages.
• 26:57
  Sean McAllister: I mean, that's a massive footprint.
• 27:00
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 27:00
  Sean McAllister: And there were stages, audio, lights, all of it.
• 27:04
  Sean McAllister: And it does, it takes a lot of time to put put the grounds together.
• 27:08
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 27:08
  Dayna Roselli: So it wouldn't just have been just an easy thing to do, you know.
• 27:12
  Dayna Roselli: And you can't plan in here, anyway, two weeks out, we don't know if it's going to be windy on a Saturday.
• 27:18
  Dayna Roselli: So uh so there was that.
• 27:20
  Dayna Roselli: And then I do understand people were frustrated, and boy, they just really got.
• 27:24
  Dayna Roselli: I felt bad for the people who bought tickets for the first.
• 27:27
  Dayna Roselli: That that whatever that is, yeah.
• 27:30
  Dayna Roselli: Um I felt bad because here's the deal.
• 27:33
  Dayna Roselli: This wasn't a festival that was like three days of changing groups.
• 27:37
  Dayna Roselli: It was the same festival every day.
• 27:40
  Dayna Roselli: So the people who had bought the first day and were the ones who got it to sell out, which caused other days getting added, they were the ones who missed out because the other two days were sold out.
• 27:54
  Dayna Roselli: So they couldn't squeeze them in.
• 27:56
  Dayna Roselli: So the Sunday and the five, they still got their festival.
• 28:00
  Dayna Roselli: And the people who basically sold out the first day were the ones that couldn't go.
• 28:05
  Dayna Roselli: So I did, I felt bad for them.
• 28:08
  Dayna Roselli: The cool part is a lot of the bands that were in town did pop-up shows at local places.
• 28:13
  Dayna Roselli: And I thought that was great indoors.
• 28:15
  Dayna Roselli: And so people were traveling around and watching some of the bands at different bars and restaurants.
• 28:20
  Dayna Roselli: I love that they did that.
• 28:21
  Dayna Roselli: Some of them organized, like, hey, meet us at the link, we're gonna sign autographs, we're gonna take pictures.
• 28:25
  Dayna Roselli: And so hopefully the people that did miss out had a good experience anyway.
• 28:28
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, because there were things that that popped up as a result of the festival canceling, so that, you know, maybe you could go and see your favorite band still.
• 28:39
  Sean McAllister: And it was really kind of cool to see uh all the cooperation at work um, you know, on the part of the bands and other properties on and around the strip to, you know, get those bands up on stage and in front of fans.
• 28:55
  Sean McAllister: That was a cool thing to see.
• 28:57
  unknown: Yeah.
• 28:57
  Sean McAllister: Although, you know, that came at the cost of the cancellation.
• 29:02
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 29:03
  Dayna Roselli: So something positive I'm gonna say about this festival.
• 29:05
  Dayna Roselli: I love across the street.
• 29:06
  Dayna Roselli: This is the first time out of all the festivals that have been there that I've actually heard all the people in the crowd sing the words to literally every song.
• 29:15
  Dayna Roselli: Really?
• 29:16
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it was, I must say, like I had chills, like the the crowd there, they knew the words, they chanted the words, I mean, to the whole song.
• 29:24
  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, wow, and I recognize a lot of the songs too.
• 29:27
  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, this is incredible.
• 29:29
  Dayna Roselli: And another thing is, is I could actually hear the bands really well this time.
• 29:34
  Dayna Roselli: A lot of times you just hear kind of a thumping, and I don't know if it's because a lot of them are um bands at whatever, a little bit more bass or yeah, more techno, that kind of thing through the years with the festivals that go on there.
• 29:45
  Dayna Roselli: But I could hear the words, the bands sounded incredible, and the crowd just chanted every song.
• 29:51
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, there were bands there, like we've gone through this before, like, you know, Errol Levine was there and Dashboard Confessional.
• 30:01
  Dayna Roselli: Am I saying that right?
• 30:02
  Sean McAllister: Yep.
• 30:02
  unknown: Okay.
• 30:03
  Dayna Roselli: Lots of bands, I can't think off the top of my head, tons of recognizable bands from the early 2000s.
• 30:08
  Dayna Roselli: So everyone knew the words, and it was really great to hear.
• 30:12
  Dayna Roselli: I loved it.
• 30:12
  Dayna Roselli: And I think if you are thinking about going next year and you're into this kind of music, and it seemed like a really great experience, and people just loved it.
• 30:21
  Sean McAllister: Very cool.
• 30:22
  Sean McAllister: Uh, just wanted to throw this in there.
• 30:25
  Sean McAllister: Uh, it was just announced comedian Fortune Feemster is going to be performing for one night at Win Las Vegas.
• 30:33
  Sean McAllister: Uh, she also has a new comedy special that just dropped on Netflix that I just watched, and she is so funny.
• 30:42
  Dayna Roselli: Really?
• 30:42
  Dayna Roselli: I've never seen her.
• 30:43
  Sean McAllister: Absolutely hilarious.
• 30:45
  Sean McAllister: Now, if you don't know who she is, remember uh Chelsea Hanler had her show oh yeah, uh her late night show.
• 30:52
  Sean McAllister: Fortune was one of the regular guests, one of Chelsea's you know, group of funny people who was uh always on that show.
• 31:02
  Sean McAllister: So she's hilarious.
• 31:04
  Sean McAllister: Um, look up tickets to see Fortune Themster for one night only at the win.
• 31:09
  Dayna Roselli: All right, let's talk pizza now.
• 31:11
  Dayna Roselli: This is a first food group.
• 31:14
  Dayna Roselli: Favorite food group, and I love spicy.
• 31:16
  Dayna Roselli: So, but reading this, I'm like, I don't know if I could do it.
• 31:20
  Dayna Roselli: So evil pie.
• 31:22
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, but this is downtown Las Vegas.
• 31:24
  Dayna Roselli: Downtown Las Vegas, yeah.
• 31:25
  Dayna Roselli: They have added the spiciest pizza in the world to their menu, okay?
• 31:30
  Dayna Roselli: So they announced a new pizza that aims to top all other hot food challenges.
• 31:37
  Dayna Roselli: It's called the Reaper.
• 31:39
  Dayna Roselli: This is a five-alarm spicy pie made with habanero chili sauce, chili pepper infused mozzarella, sriracha marinated chorizo sausage, Carolina Reaper chili oil, and sliced habanero peppers.
• 32:02
  Dayna Roselli: It is only available in the restaurant, and apparently it's served flaming, literally.
• 32:11
  Dayna Roselli: So you and I were discussing this, and we're like, now we like spicy and we like a good challenge, but I don't think I could do this.
• 32:19
  Sean McAllister: I'm curious.
• 32:20
  Sean McAllister: I I would like to take a bite of it.
• 32:23
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, me too.
• 32:24
  Sean McAllister: But this challenge, you have to eat three slices within 30 minutes.
• 32:32
  Dayna Roselli: And here's what you get: you receive a specially designed Don't Fear the Reaper t-shirt, social media shout outs, and your name carved into a plaque on the wall of legends.
• 32:42
  Dayna Roselli: FYI, though, a legal waiver must be signed before participating in the challenge.
• 32:48
  Sean McAllister: If okay, so here's my thing.
• 32:51
  Sean McAllister: I don't think that if I need to sign a legal waiver, I'm going to be participating in a, especially for a food eating contest.
• 32:58
  Sean McAllister: But there are plenty a chainsaw juggling contest.
• 33:01
  Sean McAllister: I get it.
• 33:04
  Dayna Roselli: That would be.
• 33:04
  Sean McAllister: So is this as dangerous as a chainsaw juggling contest?
• 33:07
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, probably.
• 33:08
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, listen, we have some haunted houses during Halloween time that you have to sign waivers to go into.
• 33:12
  Dayna Roselli: They're so scary.
• 33:13
  Sean McAllister: I won't do those either.
• 33:14
  Dayna Roselli: I know, me either.
• 33:14
  Dayna Roselli: No, you're right.
• 33:15
  Dayna Roselli: But here's the deal: there are people out there, plenty of them, that will sign a waiver and do this.
• 33:20
  Dayna Roselli: I know it.
• 33:21
  Sean McAllister: TV shows and web series that are based off the concept.
