  Dayna Roselli: And I had no idea this was a hop and place on a Sunday evening.
• 1:16
  Dayna Roselli: But again, when we talk about, obviously, I know we talk a lot about, oh, Vegas is slow, blah, blah, blah.
• 1:23
  Dayna Roselli: It's not slow.
• 1:24
  Dayna Roselli: It's packed.
• 1:25
  Dayna Roselli: I have friends that just tried to make a reservation at Mother Wolf at Fountain Blue.
• 1:29
  Dayna Roselli: Um, we're actually recording this very early.
• 1:31
  Dayna Roselli: So two weeks out on a Saturday, they wanted to make a reservation and it's booked.
• 1:37
  Dayna Roselli: So it's just crazy to me.
• 1:39
  Dayna Roselli: Um, just continually.
• 1:41
  Dayna Roselli: I just don't see it, and I don't know.
• 1:43
  Dayna Roselli: I know there's times that it's slow.
• 1:45
  Dayna Roselli: But anyway, I was very happy to see a downtown restaurant thriving on a Sunday night.
• 1:51
  Sean McAllister: Man, that's that's great.
• 1:52
  Sean McAllister: Maybe people go there for their Sunday supper and have it as like their their place.
• 1:58
  Dayna Roselli: Big groups were there, lots of friends.
• 2:01
  Dayna Roselli: A lot of friend groups.
• 2:02
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it was interesting.
• 2:03
  Dayna Roselli: I actually ran into John Castlamedes.
• 2:05
  Dayna Roselli: He was walking by, I was like, Oh, there's all these like familiar faces there too.
• 2:08
  Dayna Roselli: It was fun.
• 2:09
  Sean McAllister: The spot to be.
• 2:10
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 2:10
  Sean McAllister: I was actually I met up with a couple friends from college recently who were in town.
• 2:16
  Sean McAllister: Um, and they they kind of made a comment about how busy Vegas was too.
• 2:21
  Sean McAllister: They were like, gosh, we weren't expecting it to be like this, but isn't Vegas still busy even when it's slow?
• 2:28
  Sean McAllister: So yeah, it is because there's still a lot of people coming in even when we are slow.
• 2:34
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 2:34
  Dayna Roselli: That's the point, right?
• 2:36
  Sean McAllister: That's the point.
• 2:37
  Dayna Roselli: Well, listen, we love to tell you about new things.
• 2:39
  Dayna Roselli: Just a reminder the Vegas Near Me app is a great app to have if you're coming to visit us in Las Vegas or if you live here.
• 2:46
  Dayna Roselli: They've been really trying to um put themselves out there a little more on social media and push some of the things that they offer.
• 2:51
  Dayna Roselli: And it just reminded me like, you know, if you want to go to the mall, they've got like a list of every store, they've got the hours, the maps, they have great parking information before you head out to park.
• 3:02
  Sean McAllister: I actually just used the app to find the coffee shop inside of Mandalay Bay.
• 3:07
  Sean McAllister: Good.
• 3:08
  Sean McAllister: Because you can look up the name of the place that you're looking for, and then click on place maps, and it'll show you exactly where inside of the casino that you need to go.
• 3:18
  Dayna Roselli: I love that.
• 3:19
  Sean McAllister: It was a huge help.
• 3:20
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, they have deals.
• 3:21
  Dayna Roselli: You can book an Uber, uh, you can book show tickets.
• 3:24
  Dayna Roselli: So it's great.
• 3:24
  Dayna Roselli: Vegas Near Me, go in, find it on your phone.
• 3:28
  Dayna Roselli: The app's available on both phones, whether you have an Android or you have an iPhone, and download it for free.
• 3:35
  Dayna Roselli: You don't need to put in a username, your email, any of that stuff.
• 3:38
  Dayna Roselli: So definitely have it handy.
• 3:39
  Sean McAllister: And you know what you may find on Vegas Near Me now, a new addition, uh Symphony Park in downtown Las Vegas.
• 3:47
  Sean McAllister: That's the area where you find the Smith Center, the World Market Center, uh, the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health.
• 3:54
  Sean McAllister: They have a new non-smoking, non-gaming hotel that recently opened down there.
• 4:00
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and we're talking brand new, like built beautiful.
• 4:03
  Sean McAllister: From the ground up, yeah.
• 4:04
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, we went over there just to check it out.
• 4:06
  Dayna Roselli: They were having like a celebration.
• 4:07
  Dayna Roselli: It had been open for a little while, like a month or so, but they had a party.
• 4:11
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it's called the AC Las Vegas Symphony Park, and it's the only dual-branded hotel in Las Vegas.
• 4:19
  Dayna Roselli: And like you mentioned, Sean, it's the first non-gaming property in Symphony Park.
• 4:25
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but they yeah, they dual brand.
• 4:27
  Dayna Roselli: So it's like Marriott and Weston, Element by Weston, and then AC Hotel by Marriott.
• 4:32
  Dayna Roselli: And so they've come together to open, which when we walked in the doors, I thought was a just a stunning, comfortable hotel and environment.
• 4:41
  Sean McAllister: Oh, and it, I mean, brand new.
• 4:43
  Sean McAllister: It was very sleek, very but comfortable at the same time.
• 4:47
  Sean McAllister: There were lots of lounge spaces where you could just kind of hang out.
• 4:51
  Sean McAllister: Um, but they have restaurants, they have bars in there, a cute pool area, too.
• 4:57
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my gosh, it was adorable.
• 4:58
  Dayna Roselli: I was like, I would come out and hang here.
• 5:00
  Dayna Roselli: So before we get too in deep, let's hear um from Michelle Wheeler.
• 5:04
  Dayna Roselli: She's the CEO and president of Jackson Shaw Company.
• 5:07
  Dayna Roselli: She was in town for the celebration, and we chatted with her to get the lowdown about this new spot.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_00: This hotel has been a long time in the making.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_00: We started this in 2017.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_00: COVID actually derailed it for a little bit.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: And so, you know, we're tonight is a night to really celebrate years and years of work by a team of professionals that really stuck with it and had the fortitude to say, we are going to make this happen.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: This is a non-gaming, non-smoking hotel.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: It's the first AC in Symphony Park, it's the first non-gaming hotel in Symphony Park, and it's the world's largest.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: We have terrace areas, we have 18,000 square feet of meeting room space, we're centrally located between multiple icons, the Smith Center, the World Market Center.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: We're a non-gaming, non-smoking, we're ready to house any events.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_00: We're just really excited to be part of this area.
• 6:02
  Dayna Roselli: Seems like people have been asking for non-smoking properties more and more money.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but you know, we built our first one in Las Vegas in 2004.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: So we were on the forefront of non-gaming, non-smoking.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: So we wanted to be just part of the community, and that's people really responded well to that in terms of their group travel business.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: We're two blocks from Fremont.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_00: We're right across the street.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_00: If you want to go see a show at the Performing Arts Center, um, you can go to the Center for Brain Health, you can go to the Cleveland Clinic, we're close to UNLV, walk across to the World Market Center.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: It's just a great location.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: I think what we're really excited about is all of the energy that's happening here with the new condo project, with the new art museum that's coming, with the children's museum.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, we just like to be part of this community.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and the city of Las Vegas really was cutting edge on making sure that they wanted to do something to this area.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, there's not another piece of vacant land here now.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_00: So if you look, it's really been transformative.
• 6:58
  Sean McAllister: I mean, what a great addition to Symphony Park because that is an area that has been in the process of being built up over the last few years.
• 7:08
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 7:08
  Sean McAllister: The Smith Center was the first big draw, but there weren't really restaurants.
• 7:13
  Sean McAllister: And then Vicks opened down there.
• 7:15
  Sean McAllister: That was the first kind of restaurant where you could go and have a meal and then just stroll over to see a show.
• 7:22
  Sean McAllister: And it's great to see the residential stuff, the hotel now opening down there.
• 7:27
  Sean McAllister: Um, it's exciting to see.
• 7:29
  Dayna Roselli: And don't forget that outlet mall.
• 7:30
  Dayna Roselli: It's a really good outlet mall.
• 7:31
  Dayna Roselli: And people love their outlet malls.
• 7:32
  Dayna Roselli: We've got tons of great brands over there and restaurants too.
• 7:37
  Dayna Roselli: So that's right there as well.
• 7:39
  Dayna Roselli: There's a lot to do in that area, you know.
• 7:41
  Dayna Roselli: You forget.
• 7:41
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it's a five-story development, 441 guest rooms, so plenty of space.
• 7:47
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know.
• 7:48
  Dayna Roselli: I liked the vibe.
• 7:49
  Dayna Roselli: I really did.
• 7:50
  Sean McAllister: It was it was good.
• 7:51
  Sean McAllister: I look forward to going back and uh spending a little time there, even if it's just a hangout at the lounge.
• 7:57
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 7:58
  Sean McAllister: I'm all for it.
• 7:58
  Dayna Roselli: I know that was good.
• 8:00
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, right over the bridge, kind of from that, is Oscar's Steakhouse at the plaza, and they're doing something special.
• 8:06
  Dayna Roselli: Um, if you want to give back, you want to be entertained, you want to hear some stories, have a good meal, all that, you can get your seat and celebrate the 30th anniversary of the film Casino, which came out because we were like, wait, has it been 30 years in November of 1995?
• 8:28
  Dayna Roselli: 1995.
• 8:29
  Dayna Roselli: So that actually this month.
• 8:31
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 8:32
  Dayna Roselli: November 22nd.
• 8:33
  Sean McAllister: Look at even more nostalgia coming back to the forefront right now with a movie casino.
• 8:39
  Sean McAllister: Obviously, here in Las Vegas, we love it because there are so many familiar faces, including our former mayor, Oscar Goodman, who appeared in the film and so many spots around town, some spots that are no longer here, but you know, some houses, all that kind of stuff.
• 8:56
  Sean McAllister: People love seeing them in person after being up there on the big screen.
• 9:00
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and I guess they filmed, you know, several of some of the really memorable scenes in the movie there.
• 9:07
  Dayna Roselli: So how cool would that be to go there and visit with Oscar Goodman and be in one of, you know, in the area where they film some of these scenes and then have a great dinner, and it's gonna feel like a very old school night.

• 13:02
  Dayna Roselli: So there we go.
• 13:04
  Dayna Roselli: That'll be fun.
• 13:05
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, something we did in the TV show recently that we just we had to like pause and like do our own research because we were so taken by this beautiful diamond ring that was recovered from the Titanic rec site that is now on display at the Luxor.
• 13:21
  Dayna Roselli: And we were like, hold on, we we need to like, wow, this is incredible.
• 13:26
  Sean McAllister: And then we like watched this video where we learned more, and they recovered this ring that was in like there was almost like a a locked leather bag, almost like you you would see an old school doctor carrying, and people with valuables on the Titanic would go to this dude who had these lock bags on the ship, and they would, you know, record their valuables with him.
• 13:54
  Sean McAllister: He would store them in the bag and keep that locked in a safe space on the ship.
• 13:59
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 13:59
  Sean McAllister: Well, one of those bags was recovered back in 1987 from the wreck site, and uh this beautiful diamond ring is one of the items that was inside the bag.
• 14:13
  Dayna Roselli: It's incredible.
• 14:14
  Dayna Roselli: This ring features three old European-cut diamonds, including a two-carat pear-shaped center stone framed by two one-carat rounds.
• 14:24
  Dayna Roselli: It's gorgeous.
• 14:25
  Dayna Roselli: Um, before we go any further, let's hear, because there was this little video that they sent us.
• 14:29
  Dayna Roselli: It's only about 40 seconds, but I feel like it's a great explainer of all of this.
• 14:34
  Dayna Roselli: And it is um, you're gonna hear from uh Thomasina Ray.
• 14:39
  Dayna Roselli: She's the president and director of collections.
• 14:41
  Dayna Roselli: Let's play that.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_02: We're very excited to bring this fabulous diamond ring to Las Vegas.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_02: It's four carats of diamonds.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_02: It was discovered in the Gladstone bag and recovered in 1987.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_02: It was a way to protect your valuables and keep them safe on a ship where you weren't sure who was coming and going.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_02: So passengers often deposited their most valuable items with the ship's purser.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_02: This diamond ring was clearly very important to somebody.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_02: It could have been an engagement ring, and we are so excited to bring it to Las Vegas where everyone can enjoy the shine and the sparkle of this piece from Titanic that looks almost brand new.
• 15:22
  Sean McAllister: So after we watched what you just listened to, we just started asking a lot of questions and going down a Google rabbit hole of, well, what about this?
• 15:33
  Sean McAllister: What about that?
• 15:33
  Sean McAllister: I know Dana, you were wondering like how the ring stayed in such good condition.
• 15:38
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, like if it was sitting in water, I would understand.
• 15:41
  Dayna Roselli: But I was like, isn't salt water?
• 15:42
  Dayna Roselli: You know, the ocean, like, wouldn't the salt eat away?
• 15:44
  Dayna Roselli: And then you did a Google search.
• 15:46
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and these dinings are set in platinum, which apparently is not heavily affected by salt water.
• 15:55
  Sean McAllister: Interesting.
• 15:56
  Sean McAllister: It doesn't really tarnish.
• 15:57
  Sean McAllister: I mean, it gets a little dull, but you can polish that right up.
• 16:01
  Dayna Roselli: Wow.
• 16:01
  Dayna Roselli: And it they did.
• 16:02
  Dayna Roselli: It's stunning.
• 16:04
  Dayna Roselli: Now, this is on display in Las Vegas for the first time in a decade, so it's a big deal.
• 16:08
  Dayna Roselli: And it's over at the Luxor.
• 16:09
  Dayna Roselli: You can get tickets at TitanicLosvegas.com.
• 16:12
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it's Titanic the Artifact Exhibition.
• 16:15
  Dayna Roselli: It's located right there at the hotel casino and it's open daily from 11 to 6 p.m.
• 16:21
  Dayna Roselli: Final admissions 5 p.m.
• 16:23
  Dayna Roselli: So if you want to get more information, and if you want to see this, it'll be on our YouTube page because we put it in a recent TV show, and I think it should be up already.
• 16:32
  Dayna Roselli: But we were just, yeah, amazed.
• 16:34
  Dayna Roselli: And then there's other pieces of jewelry too that they have on display, but it's it's crazy.
• 16:38
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, that that uh exhibit, the Titanic exhibit, is definitely something to check out.
• 16:45
  Sean McAllister: They have a recreation of that grand staircase in there, so you can go in and get your get your picture on the stairs, you know, the famous stairs where Leo and Kate from the movie.
• 16:58
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 16:59
  Dayna Roselli: When we were just sitting there and when we were talking about the jewelry and stuff, we're like, it's so weird.
• 17:03
  Dayna Roselli: Like the ring, like this was someone's it really is fascinating, isn't it?
• 17:10
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, it's a shipwreck, and they recovered so many years later, and there's this ring, and it's like, what's the story?
• 17:17
  Dayna Roselli: Who whose was this?
• 17:18
  Dayna Roselli: And like, I don't know, it's just so interesting.
• 17:21
  Sean McAllister: It it really is.
• 17:22
  Sean McAllister: I mean, knowing where that ring came from, who it was for.
• 17:27
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, who was it going to be for?
• 17:29
  Dayna Roselli: Was it engaged in the wheel?
• 17:29
  Sean McAllister: What was it going to be for?
• 17:30
  Sean McAllister: That could have been oh no.
• 17:33
  Sean McAllister: Oh, I just got sad.
• 17:34
  Dayna Roselli: Me too.
• 17:35
  Sean McAllister: Oh, the engagement that never was.
• 17:39
  Sean McAllister: Well, we're just hypothesizing here.
• 17:41
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, we have no idea.
• 17:43
  Dayna Roselli: But or maybe it was just, I don't know, someone was carrying it across.
• 17:47
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know, they were moving, taking all their valuables with them.
• 17:50
  Dayna Roselli: We don't know.
• 17:51
  Dayna Roselli: There's a it was quite an eclectic crowd on the Titanic, right?
• 17:56
  Sean McAllister: It was, yes, it was.
• 17:58
  Sean McAllister: But that's a great exhibit.
• 17:59
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it really is.
• 18:00
  Dayna Roselli: So if you want to get over there, I mean, we have things in Vegas that, see, are outside of the norm that you would think that we would have.
• 18:06
  Dayna Roselli: We have some really cool museums, exhibits, and a lot of them located right on the strip.
• 18:12
  Sean McAllister: All right, let's get to our tips.
• 18:19
  Sean McAllister: All right, we're gonna kick off our tips with a dim sum brunch.
• 18:26
  Dayna Roselli: I was like, ooh, what?
• 18:28
  Dayna Roselli: That sounds good.
• 18:30
  Sean McAllister: That does sound good.
• 18:31
  Dayna Roselli: Then I saw it was at Genting Palace at Resorts World, and I told you I went there once and I was blown away.
• 18:39
  Dayna Roselli: The food was so good.
• 18:40
  Dayna Roselli: I went with a couple friends, and I don't know why I haven't been back because I think because you and I, we always talk about this.
• 18:46
  Dayna Roselli: We never just go out and like choose, like, we're gonna go out to eat.
• 18:50
  Sean McAllister: It's always like it's always I want to eat at home because I've been out so much exact at all these different things that we are going to for work for the show and the podcast, and then when it comes time to have free time, it's like, oh, I kind of just want to stay in.
• 19:07
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 19:08
  Dayna Roselli: Or else, like my friend that was visiting, like she did book a res uh, you know, reservation at Esther's Kitchen.
• 19:13
  Dayna Roselli: Like, I feel like a lot of times locals or if people come into town that lived here, we kind of navigate toward more of a locals restaurant.
• 19:21
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 19:22
  Dayna Roselli: But anyway, Genting Palace is amazing and it is such a good restaurant.
• 19:26
  Dayna Roselli: So I was excited to see this.
• 19:27
  Dayna Roselli: So they're starting it um every Saturday from 11 to 3 p.m.
• 19:31
  Dayna Roselli: The brunch combines some authentic flavors with, of course, their great service, and that it really is a luxurious restaurant.
• 19:37
  Dayna Roselli: It's beautiful.
• 19:38
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but I love the dim sum brunch because it offers a communal style menu designed for sharing, and so they'll have a curated selection of classic and elevated dim sum dishes.
• 19:51
  Dayna Roselli: And I guess you can kind of pick from the menu, but this window of time is when they're doing this special seating.
• 19:57
  Dayna Roselli: And I think it's a great idea.
• 19:59
  Dayna Roselli: Get more people through through that restaurant and have a different kind of Saturday brunch experience.
• 20:03
  Sean McAllister: This is great.
• 20:04
  Sean McAllister: The executive chef over there is Billy Chang, who specializes in um Cantonese cuisine.
• 20:10
  Sean McAllister: So you know that this is authentic and delicious.
• 20:13
  Sean McAllister: I know you said that this brunch looked delicious at a restaurant you already know is delicious.
• 20:19
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, when the food came and they lifted up, it was like so fresh.
• 20:22
  Dayna Roselli: It just was it was really good and the flavorful.
• 20:26
  Sean McAllister: I love it.
• 20:26
  Sean McAllister: As part of this brunch experience, you also uh have a selection of curated teas and cocktails.
• 20:33
  Sean McAllister: And of course, you're sitting in a very opulent atmosphere over there at Genting Palace as well.
• 20:40
  Sean McAllister: Again, over at Resorts World.
• 20:42
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so I'm I'm glad they're doing that.
• 20:44
  Dayna Roselli: Um, a lot of new things coming and a lot of different experiences, and we notice Saturday brunches are becoming popular, more popular lately.
• 20:51
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, they are, and I feel like what the deal is.
• 20:53
  Sean McAllister: Well I don't know.
• 20:54
  Sean McAllister: Maybe this is the time of year.
• 20:57
  Dayna Roselli: Or maybe like Sundays are just feeling more like it really is because I feel like you know, the world's been a bit crazy lately, and I feel like for everyone, and a lot of people have said this year has kind of been exhausting.
• 21:09
  Dayna Roselli: Or I wonder if Sunday is just really becoming more of a day of rest for people.
• 21:13
  Sean McAllister: And like our time to recharge a little bit.
• 21:15
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, like I don't want to go out to brunch.
• 21:17
  Dayna Roselli: Or also football season.
• 21:19
  Dayna Roselli: Maybe but they figure people are watching football on Sunday.
• 21:21
  Sean McAllister: All day.
• 21:22
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so that could probably be starting at 10 a.m.
• 21:24
  Sean McAllister: on the West Coast.
• 21:25
  Dayna Roselli: Who's doing like I keep watching all the game scores, or I glance up and watch parts of games, and I'm like, it's kind of hard to tell who's really leading the pack this year when it comes to football.
• 21:34
  Dayna Roselli: I feel like like some unexpected losses were thrown in there, like the Bills lost one, or maybe two, maybe one.
• 21:41
  Sean McAllister: Uh yeah, the the Bills did lose uh two in a row.
• 21:45
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so and I was like, oh, and then Kansas City uh lost a couple at the beginning, and then Indianapolis Colts are like doing fantastic.
• 21:55
  Dayna Roselli: That's interesting.
• 21:56
  Dayna Roselli: Good for them.
• 21:56
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, the Raiders, we won one or two.
• 22:01
  Dayna Roselli: I think we won two.
• 22:02
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, the the Colts are really doing good.
• 22:06
  Sean McAllister: They're like kind of top in the league right now.
• 22:08
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 22:08
  Dayna Roselli: I like that for them.
• 22:10
  Sean McAllister: I like that for them too.
• 22:12
  Sean McAllister: Like I never hear anybody say, hey, how about them Indianapolis Colts?
• 22:16
  Dayna Roselli: Never.
• 22:17
  Dayna Roselli: So I like that.
• 22:18
  Dayna Roselli: I'm all about the I don't know if it's considered underdog, but I like that.
• 22:21
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, let's go.
• 22:22
  Dayna Roselli: I never hear I'm a Colts fan.
• 22:24
  Dayna Roselli: Why don't we ever hear that?
• 22:26
  Sean McAllister: I don't know.
• 22:26
  Sean McAllister: Maybe because we're like removed from that chunk of the country.
• 22:30
  Sean McAllister: I don't know.
• 22:31
  Sean McAllister: I think the Colts probably do have a pretty good fan base.
• 22:34
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 22:35
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, send us a text if you're a Colts fan.
• 22:37
