• 4:09
  Dayna Roselli: But close.
• 4:10
  Sean McAllister: But close.
• 4:11
  Sean McAllister: It's a quick ride from uh Town Square to the strip corridor, the main spot that has all the resorts, hotels, casinos.
• 4:21
  Sean McAllister: Uh, but Fletch a Cantina is the new restaurant by Mark Wahlberg that just opened over there at Town Square.
• 4:28
  Sean McAllister: Uh, and we had to stop over and see what it was all about because it's been getting locally here in Las Vegas a lot of buzz as they were doing like the family and friends, the soft opening kind of deal.
• 4:41
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and you know, Mark Wahlberg, we'd love to say, Oh, he just moved here, but it feels like that.
• 4:45
  Dayna Roselli: But he's been here a while now because we've been talking about this for a long time.
• 4:48

  Dayna Roselli: He was saying how much he enjoyed it.
• 5:06
  Dayna Roselli: He promised he was gonna ramp it up and really start building some businesses here in Las Vegas, and he has kept that promise.

  Sean McAllister: He has, not only in the food and beverage world, but in the world of uh fitness and apparel.
• 5:21
  Sean McAllister: He is just doing it all now, uh potentially even movies down the road.
• 5:26
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 5:27
  Dayna Roselli: So we pulled Mark Wahlberg aside.
• 5:29
  Dayna Roselli: Sean was able to have a great conversation with him.
• 5:32
  Dayna Roselli: We had so many questions about all this stuff.
• 5:35
  Dayna Roselli: So we wanted you to have a chance to listen to this.
• 5:38
  Dayna Roselli: And if you want to see it, you can also look at our YouTube channel.

  Dayna Roselli: We did a TV show with this interview, but we wanted to share it here too.
• 5:47
  Sean McAllister: You're cutting the ribbon at Fletcher Cantina tonight.
• 5:50
  Sean McAllister: Tell me about this journey to get here.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_04: Uh, it's been amazing.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, I started in the restaurant business some 13, 14 years ago with my brothers.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_04: Uh, I was fortunate enough to meet Randy Sharp and uh and then Christian, and we wanted to do something different, as well as them of Randy coming to work with me at Wahlbergers.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_02: Just start spitballing ideas and really going back and forth and saying, we're gonna do this thing, we're gonna do it, we're gonna we're gonna do it all the way.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_02: The brand was there, the excitement was there, the service, the quality, and it was ready to take here to Vegas, and we're super excited to be here.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_04: And you know, the only way to be successful in any business is create something really special and really high quality.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_04: So having an amazing chef like Christian, an amazing operator like Randy, this is not expect to come here and have like a celebrity restaurant experience.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_03: This is really a chef-driven experience.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_03: He said, Hey, let's let's do uh Mexican redefined.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_03: I was like, what does that mean?
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_03: And then obviously that that idea came in and and he said, Hey, it's it's anything you want to do.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_03: Obviously, we we want to have the classics, we want to have it elegant, we want to have it elevated, and by and and the number one thing was quality, and uh that's that's been really our our main thing.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_03: It's it's just been quality, product, quality, partners, quality, everything.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_04: You know, hospitality like you've never seen, you know, welcome with open arms, welcome margarita, which I've never seen before.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_04: And then the food and the experience is provided, the hospitality is just outstanding.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_04: Well, and you landed a great space over here at Townsquare.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_04: And we wanted to be somewhere where we could actually cater to the locals.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_04: Instead of, you know, being in the middle of the strip and and basically just uh catering to tourists and the occasional local.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_04: So 80% of our customers are actually uh residents here, and it's amazing because the word of mouth has grown so fast.
• 7:30
  Sean McAllister: What's on your table when you sit down here?
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_04: I ate too many chips already.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_04: I would have to say lobster enchiladas, sea bass, street tacos, ceviche, multiple ceviche.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_04: It's just it's just the little the food is so good.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_04: You have to try the food.
• 7:48
  Sean McAllister: I'm glad that I'm not the only one who fills up on chips.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_04: Oh my god.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_04: I was just sitting there, you know, the thing is I'm pretty disciplined with my diet and my routine, but then I start start just nibbling and then it just gets out of control.
• 8:02
  Sean McAllister: Where did the the passion for brand building kind of switch on for you?
• 8:07
  Sean McAllister: Or has it always been there?
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, you're it always has.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_04: I always knew that in order for me to be successful, I had to be in control of my own destiny.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_04: I couldn't just kind of sit around and wait for the right script to land on my desk or anything like that.
• 8:18
  Sean McAllister: Las Vegas is obviously now home for you.
• 8:20
  Sean McAllister: You've been here a minute now.
• 8:22
  Sean McAllister: Um, what role has Las Vegas played in kind of being the home base for brand building for you?
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, Las Vegas, I mean, this is the mecca for entertainment and experience.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_04: And so for that, I mean, we really, uh, you know, we really wanted to grow, especially in the restaurant space, in the brand building space.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_04: I want to build, you know, I would love to make movies here, I would love to make shoes here, I would love to make and manufacture our clothes right here, not only in the US, but here in Nevada.

  Sean McAllister: Part way through uh the interview, uh, Mark's wife walked into the restaurant and he was like, you know, hold on for just one second.
• 10:56
  Sean McAllister: And he paused to make sure to say hi to his wife as she was walking in.
• 11:01
  Sean McAllister: And I thought that was just so sweet and indicative of the kind of relationship they have.
• 11:06
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, welcoming her in, making sure she was comfortable, sit down, and she was there for the the ribbon cutting as well, took some pictures, and so they also did a blessing, and I mentioned that at the top, and it's interesting.

• 13:27
  Dayna Roselli: It it really does turn country here.
• 13:30

• 13:45
  Dayna Roselli: And it's back December 4th to the 15th, and 10 of the nights are gonna have a full entertainment lineup, and each night it transforms into this high-energy gathering spot.

  Sean McAllister: Uh but all of these other there's viewing parties, concerts, all sorts of uh events happening surrounding the rodeo, and this is just one of the events happening in downtown Las Vegas.

  SPEAKER_05: Let's get to tips.
• 19:46
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, first tip today.
• 19:48
  Dayna Roselli: We talk about this every year, but it's always worth a mention.
• 19:51
  Dayna Roselli: The Tournament of Kings twas the night is back at the Xcaliber.
• 19:54
  Dayna Roselli: If you were wondering, I know it's an annual tradition for many people here in Las Vegas and many of our visitors that come during the holiday season.
• 20:03
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it kicked off November 27th, or will kick off, I should say, depending on when you're listening to this, and it goes all the way through Christmas Day.
• 20:11
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and it's always so fun.
• 20:13
  Sean McAllister: I love the way that they transform, you know, the this jousting nights of the round table kind of uh production into a a holiday show.
• 20:24
  Sean McAllister: And it's always so fun.
• 20:25
  Sean McAllister: It snows in there, the horses are always dressed up, and you don't you don't feel like you're in a hotel casino.
• 20:33
  Sean McAllister: No, you don't.
• 20:33
  Dayna Roselli: You go down uh stairs and you're like, what is happening here?
• 20:37
  Sean McAllister: And there's like this whole equestrian center with the seats all around.
• 20:42
  Sean McAllister: And if you've not been, this is one of this is a dinner show.
• 20:45
  Sean McAllister: You get dinner with your show ticket and uh you eat with your hands.
• 20:50
  Dayna Roselli: You do, you eat with your hands, and and the holiday meal includes a seasoned roasted Cornish game hen, roasted sweet potatoes, fresh corn on the cob, a soft baked dinner roll, and a pumpkin pastry.
• 21:05
  Dayna Roselli: So sometimes if you get, depending on when you eat the soft roll, it may not be soft anymore, but so I recommend eating it first.
• 21:19
  Sean McAllister: But it's always a good time and be ready to shout huzzah.
• 21:24
  Dayna Roselli: That's right.
• 21:27
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, listen, it's hard to watch what's going on in front of you and eat at the same time.
• 21:31
  Dayna Roselli: So as you let that roll sit there, it starts to cool off and get harder.
• 21:38
  Dayna Roselli: I'm just saying.
• 21:39
  Dayna Roselli: So that's my tip.
• 21:40
  Dayna Roselli: I think that's a great tip.
• 21:41
  Dayna Roselli: Eat the roll first.
• 21:42
  Sean McAllister: That is a great tip.
• 21:44
  Sean McAllister: I fully support that.
• 21:46
  Dayna Roselli: But uh it it really is unique.
• 21:49
  Dayna Roselli: The whole show and the whole experience.
• 21:51
  Dayna Roselli: Something we don't have anywhere else in Las Vegas.
• 21:54
  Sean McAllister: No, no, there's not.

  Sean McAllister: Yeah, Marina Mercer Barini, she's fantastic.

• 23:04
  Dayna Roselli: Nothing like learning from the best, right?
• 23:06
  Sean McAllister: Right.
