• 2:15
  SPEAKER_03: Let's go tonight.
• 2:19
  Sean McAllister: Welcome to episode 161 of Vegas Revealed.
• 2:22
  Sean McAllister: Sean McAllister here along with Dana Roselli in a well, currently sunny but still damp Las Vegas.
• 2:29
  Dayna Roselli: It's been an awful winter in Las Vegas.
• 2:32
  Dayna Roselli: We've been all over the place.
• 2:34
  Dayna Roselli: I've got a friend in town right now who was all excited to come in for some pool days.
• 2:39
  Sean McAllister: Well, it's pool season.
• 2:40
  Sean McAllister: It's officially started.
• 2:41
  Dayna Roselli: Well, I know.
• 2:42
  Dayna Roselli: I almost feel like, gosh, we really need to like support the pools this summer because there's one resort specifically that I keep getting invites to that they're trying to have this grand opening weekend kind of celebration.
• 2:55
  Dayna Roselli: And it just they keep having to cancel because it's awful weather in the 50s and cloudy.
• 3:01
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, all that, all the weather that's moving onshore in Los Angeles.
• 3:06
  Sean McAllister: It gets to us a day later.
• 3:07
  Sean McAllister: And man, it has just been gray and chilly.
• 3:11
  Sean McAllister: Today, uh, we're recording on the 22nd of March.
• 3:16
  Sean McAllister: This is actually the coldest March 22nd in 50 years.
• 3:21
  Dayna Roselli: Wow, isn't that strange?
• 3:23
  Dayna Roselli: Are we gonna have like a scorching summer?
• 3:25
  Sean McAllister: I I hope not, because you know spring and fall, the season, talking about like nice temperatures, in Las Vegas, it only lasts for about a week.
• 3:36
  Sean McAllister: We get a week, maybe two, of like nice mid 70s, and then it just like jumps up to the 90s.
• 3:43
  Dayna Roselli: I know it's it's and if you think about it, it is only the end of March.
• 3:47
  Dayna Roselli: We got April, May, right?
• 3:48
  Dayna Roselli: Till it really, really, really kicks in.
• 3:50
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know.
• 3:51
  Dayna Roselli: I keep thinking it's like closer to summer than it really is.
• 3:54
  Sean McAllister: True.
• 3:55
  Dayna Roselli: Didn't we just hit spring?
• 3:56
  Dayna Roselli: Was yesterday the first day of spring?
• 3:58
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, like we literally just hit spring.
• 4:00
  Dayna Roselli: But you said your grass is growing real nice, right?
• 4:02
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, all the plants that we put in are loving this.
• 4:05
  Sean McAllister: And all the natural water falling from the sky, they're happy.
• 4:08
  Sean McAllister: It's very rare.
• 4:09
  Sean McAllister: It is plush, we're gonna have plush backyard.
• 4:13
  Sean McAllister: Which probably means it'll be an awful allergy season, but whatever.
• 4:17
  Sean McAllister: We're not getting into the medical stuff.
• 4:19
  Dayna Roselli: No, we're we don't have hurricanes, we don't have tornadoes, we're happy for the rain.
• 4:23
  Dayna Roselli: We need it, that's for sure.
• 4:24
  Dayna Roselli: So um, all good stuff.
• 4:26
  Dayna Roselli: All right, we have tons to talk about, so we should probably start getting through it.
• 4:30
  Dayna Roselli: And one of them, um, well, if you hopefully, let's see, this runs on a Saturday.
• 4:34
  Dayna Roselli: So Friday, the day before this podcast drop, the Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix released more tickets for the race.
• 4:43
  Dayna Roselli: They did a bunch in November, but it was like overwhelming.
• 4:46
  Dayna Roselli: So they're like, okay, let's figure out where we've got seats, where we've got places, where we're building the grandstands, and then we'll release more.
• 4:52
  Dayna Roselli: And they did.
• 4:53
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 4:53
  Sean McAllister: So now that they have the the layout like totally nailed down, they know how many people can be in each section all around the course.
• 5:02
  Sean McAllister: Uh, a new batch of tickets are now out, starting at$500.
• 5:08
  Sean McAllister: And that may seem like a steep price, but here's the thing that$500 is for all three days.
• 5:16
  Sean McAllister: It includes your food, your viewing location, and non-alcoholic drinks.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 5:22
  Sean McAllister: Uh now you need to remember too that the race is being run at night starting at 10 p.m.
• 5:29
  Sean McAllister: So it's not like you're gonna be out there all day long unless you really want to.
• 5:35
  Dayna Roselli: Maybe, yeah.
• 5:35
  Dayna Roselli: It's gonna be tons of Vegas style entertainment and there they have all these like specialized menus and food and drinks and all sorts of stuff.
• 5:43
  Dayna Roselli: So if you've got the three-day pass, I'm sure there's gonna be plenty to do when it comes to to Formula One.
• 5:50
  Sean McAllister: Oh, yeah.
• 5:50
  Sean McAllister: I think every just about everybody uh on the strip, all the major properties are going to be having their own events that are tied into F1.
• 5:59
  Sean McAllister: And then, of course, the ones that are official sponsors will have, you know, a bunch of extra stuff going on.
• 6:04
  Sean McAllister: And as we rot watch the uh grandstands be rising up out of the ground over at the official, you know, Formula One headquarters at Koval and and Harmon, just off the strip, um, we're also gonna be seeing a lot of action along the actual race route because in preparation all the roads that those cars are gonna be driving on need to be repaved.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 6:30
  Sean McAllister: So starting in April for several weeks, the course is going to be paved, and all those roads are getting new asphalt put on.
• 6:40
  Sean McAllister: So, um, I mean, that's in the heart of the resort corridor.
• 6:44
  Sean McAllister: So there are going to be some travel restrictions in place and some delays and headaches if you're if you're stuck in that.
• 6:51
  Dayna Roselli: It's already bad, so I can only imagine.
• 6:53
  Dayna Roselli: And when you say action, it's like not the action we really want.
• 6:56
  Dayna Roselli: Well, we do for the wrong term, but long term, but not the yeah, it's gonna probably be a little bit of a travel nightmare around there.
• 7:03
  Dayna Roselli: But it's funny, I was just driving down this section of paradise that I think is part of the route, and I was like, man, they need a repave.
• 7:11
  Dayna Roselli: It's so bumpy and all over the place.
• 7:13
  Dayna Roselli: It is.
• 7:13
  Dayna Roselli: So, yep.
• 7:14
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, if this is what's it's gonna take to get it done, then hey, we'll have new roads after, I guess.
• 7:20
  Sean McAllister: Maybe every year we should just have a different course so that all the roads around the strip end up getting paved.
• 7:25
  Dayna Roselli: I feel like we can get more in depth in uh Formula One another time because you and I were watching a bunch of simulations.
• 7:31
  Dayna Roselli: We were looking at the renderings and we are literally in awe.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 7:34
  Dayna Roselli: In it, we need to go into detail about all that another time.
• 7:36
  Dayna Roselli: We do have the renderings on our social media site, so check out Vegas Revealed.
• 7:41
  Dayna Roselli: We'll always be updating you there.
• 7:44
  Sean McAllister: Uh, another thing that we wanted to mention to you, the M Resort, which is in the south part of the Las Vegas Valley.
• 7:52
  Sean McAllister: It's you see it along the I-15 if you're driving in from Southern California.
• 7:57
  Sean McAllister: Uh, they're adding a new$200 million wing to the casino, including a new hotel tower.
• 8:05
  Dayna Roselli: Wow.
• 8:06
  Dayna Roselli: I was surprised about this because I thought, does the M need to expand?
• 8:09
  Dayna Roselli: Is it that popular?
• 8:11
  Dayna Roselli: It's not something that uh I visit often because I don't live down that way.
• 8:15
  Dayna Roselli: I know you used to live down there and go there often.
• 8:17
  Dayna Roselli: Is it is it a bustling place?
• 8:19
  Dayna Roselli: Does it stay busy?
• 8:20
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it really does.
• 8:22
  Sean McAllister: Um, it's also the uh official hotel partner of the Las Vegas Raiders training facility, which is like right next door.
• 8:31
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 8:32
  Sean McAllister: Um, so I know anytime that they're, you know, bringing people in to you go over to the headquarters for anything, if they're staying the night, they'll usually uh stay over at the M.
• 8:43
  Sean McAllister: So that's you know, brought a bunch of extra business in too.
• 8:46
  Sean McAllister: True.
• 8:47
  Sean McAllister: And there are so many more uh houses and retail developments going in as well.
• 8:55
  Sean McAllister: And I think that you know, when people who live there have guests coming into town, you know, if there if there's no room at the house, then you hey, go stay at the M.
• 9:05
  Sean McAllister: Oh yeah.
• 9:07
  Dayna Roselli: Which we often use as an excuse.
• 9:09
  Dayna Roselli: There's no room here.
• 9:10
  Dayna Roselli: Sorry, I'm storing something in the spare bedroom.
• 9:13
  Sean McAllister: Exactly.
• 9:14
  Sean McAllister: That that bed is just not ready for humans right now.
• 9:17
  Sean McAllister: But I've got a great hotel right down the street.
• 9:19
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 9:20
  Dayna Roselli: Well, the M is beautiful.
• 9:21
  Dayna Roselli: Whenever I go there, I do think like, you know, great restaurants, great layout, something, it's a little bit different.
• 9:26
  Dayna Roselli: I love it.
• 9:27
  Dayna Roselli: And we, you and I are actually going down there next week to um work.
• 9:31
  Dayna Roselli: We've got a video project we're doing for the Olympia companies, and we're gonna be at the M when they have their big kickoff night, and Luke Bryan's performing.
• 9:38
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 9:39
  Sean McAllister: And their spa is really nice too, by the way.
• 9:41
  Sean McAllister: And it always smells nice inside the M.
• 9:43
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it does smell nice.
• 9:44
  Dayna Roselli: You're right.
• 9:45
  Dayna Roselli: Um, well, this is not the dream that we all hoped for when it comes to the new Dream Las Vegas hotel.
• 9:52
  Dayna Roselli: We told you about this a while ago.
• 9:54
  Dayna Roselli: It's a boutique hotel that's going up just to the south of Mandalay Bay.
• 9:59
  Dayna Roselli: And we were excited about this because we thought it's a great place for those that come in for either business from the airport or like are coming in for a Raiders game and need to like stay over a night.
• 10:11
  Dayna Roselli: Maybe they're working the Raiders game, maybe they're going to go to a Raiders game, because it's kind of near the stadium.
• 10:16
  Dayna Roselli: It's a nice location.
• 10:17
  Dayna Roselli: They started the project and now we have learned it has been fully stopped.
• 10:22
  Dayna Roselli: According to the review journal, our paper here, they say that this project is now on hold.
• 10:29
  Sean McAllister: And that apparently is because uh the funding that uh the developers thought was in place maybe wasn't.
• 10:38
  Sean McAllister: And they're kind of behind right now, uh, owing approximately$25 million um on the work that's being done there.
• 10:48
  Sean McAllister: So they have to put a stop to it until uh new funding can be found.
• 10:53
  Sean McAllister: Um I'm hopeful that they can find new funding because at that at that south end of the Las Vegas Strip down there, south of Mandalay Bay, um we don't need any more stalled projects.
• 11:08
  Sean McAllister: No, we don't.
• 11:09
  Sean McAllister: There was at one time when the high roller was going in and the link was being developed up in the middle of the strip, but there was a developer who came in and said, Hey, I'm gonna put my own giant Ferris wheel down here next to Mandalay Bay.
• 11:22
  Sean McAllister: Well, there's these giant concrete columns sticking up out of the ground now, and that's as far as they got on the project.
• 11:29
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and we're talking years and years that they have just been sitting there.
• 11:35
  Sean McAllister: I did notice that that lot is now uh up for sale again, which would be a great place for just a hotel or for a massive uh sports-themed bar restaurant kind of deal.
• 11:50
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 11:51
  Dayna Roselli: Because it's in real close proximity to Allegiant Stadium if you just cross the street and uh it's a good place to like either go after a game or when you need to, or uh, you know, even before a concert or a game to be able to just kind of like settle in and get ready to walk over the bridge and like just go there first for some lunch or something and and some drinks.
• 12:10
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, good point.
• 12:11
  Dayna Roselli: If we had if we were investors, we would invest in that.
• 12:14
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, no kidding.
• 12:16
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, I you and I sit here and we go, why did you start when you didn't have the money?
• 12:20
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, I don't know, we are not business people in the in the big business construction developer.
• 12:25
  Dayna Roselli: So, but to me, it just sounds like this happens a lot.
• 12:28
  Dayna Roselli: And I don't know what's going on.
• 12:30
  Sean McAllister: And I don't know if maybe the developers uh had a a funding plan lined up and something fell through once they already started construction.
• 12:40
  Sean McAllister: Uh don't know the details on this, but we do know that construction has fully stopped at Dream Las Vegas, there on South Las Vegas Boulevard.
• 12:51
  Sean McAllister: Um, hopefully they pick it up again soon.
• 12:53
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 12:54
  Dayna Roselli: Well, we told you we'd keep you up to date on the hard rock guitar.
• 12:59
  Dayna Roselli: So the Mirage on the Las Vegas Strip is now owned by the Hard Rock.
• 13:03
  Dayna Roselli: We told you a big vote was coming up, and the County Commission has approved plans now to remove the Mirage Volcano and put in that guitar-shaped hotel tower.
• 13:16
  Dayna Roselli: So it is all a go.
• 13:17
  Sean McAllister: So the plans are all approved.
• 13:20
  Sean McAllister: Um, and the idea of it is approved, but we still don't have an exact date on when um the volcano's last show will be.
• 13:29
  Sean McAllister: We don't know when demolition is going to start.
• 13:32
  Sean McAllister: I have a feeling that's still probably a year or so away.
• 13:37
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 13:37
  Sean McAllister: Maybe six months to a year.
• 13:40
  Sean McAllister: We'll see.
• 13:41
  Dayna Roselli: Well, let's hope this guitar, once they start building it, that it keeps going because we don't want it to look like a guitar pick and just sit there for the round base.
• 13:52
  Dayna Roselli: We need it to like if you're gonna start, let's make sure we can go all the way to the top because that's gonna look weird.
• 13:58
  Sean McAllister: I have a feeling hard rock has their finances all lined up there.
• 14:02
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and I don't know that I'm gonna miss the volcano.
• 14:04
  Dayna Roselli: I'm probably one of very, I don't know, a few group that don't care that much that the Mirage Volcano is closing.
• 14:12
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know why, but don't hate me.
• 14:15
  Dayna Roselli: I just I haven't been by in a long time, which means it's not a draw for me.
• 14:22
  Dayna Roselli: Fair enough.
• 14:22
  Dayna Roselli: Fair enough.
• 14:23
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I don't know.
• 14:24
  Dayna Roselli: All right, moving on.
• 14:25
  Dayna Roselli: Next door to the Mirage is Caesars Palace.
• 14:28
  Dayna Roselli: You and I were there recently.
• 14:29
  Dayna Roselli: We've been that we've actually been there a lot um at a couple different restaurant openings.
• 14:33
  Dayna Roselli: We've been to a lot of restaurant openings actually at the forum shops at Caesars Palace, which is attached to Caesars Palace, but kind of its own thing.
• 14:40
  Dayna Roselli: We haven't been in the actual hotel casino part for a while for an opening.
• 14:46
  Dayna Roselli: And so we were excited to check out Stanton Social Prime, which just opened and they had a little preview party.
• 14:53
  Dayna Roselli: We were on the VIP list.
• 14:55
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know how we got on it, but we did.
• 14:57
  Dayna Roselli: And we went last week and checked it out, and we were impressed.
• 15:02
  Sean McAllister: I mean, it is really, really nice and swanky and a really classy addition to Caesars Palace.
• 15:11
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and we love the decor.
• 15:12
  Dayna Roselli: I know you were, you and I were talking to some folks from Caesars Palace, and they were saying, Oh, we don't even have a lot of the chairs in here yet, but it's a total like throwback to the kind of showgirl boudoir, kind of like the back of the seats have like these showgirlish outfits on them.
• 15:30
  Dayna Roselli: I look forward to seeing that because they had to move some of the seats out for space for the party.
• 15:34
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 15:35
  Dayna Roselli: But the chandeliers were beautiful, the walls.
• 15:37
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it was it was gorgeous in there.
• 15:39
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it's kind of an art deco uh inspired design inside.
• 15:44
  Sean McAllister: And all the light fixtures are all eclectic.
• 15:48
  Sean McAllister: It's not like a total matchy matchy situation going on in there.
• 15:52
  Sean McAllister: Um, but it is a very elevated feel, but not a stuffy feel, if that makes sense.
• 16:00
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, we I loved it.
• 16:02
  Dayna Roselli: You and I had some past food that they were passing around, and we were like raving about it.
• 16:06
  Sean McAllister: Everything was so good.
• 16:07
  Dayna Roselli: It really was.
• 16:08
  Sean McAllister: Like the steak and uh fries were delicious.
• 16:12
  Sean McAllister: There were little almost uh like pierogi kind of deals, which was uh potato and goat cheese.
• 16:19
  Sean McAllister: Um and then you dipped it in the creme fraîche, and it was phenomenal.
• 16:26
  Sean McAllister: Those little bites I could probably survive on forever.
• 16:30
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I mean the food was good, and it was gorgeous.
• 16:33
  Dayna Roselli: You and I left there going, we need to go back for dinner, like at ASAP.
• 16:38
  Dayna Roselli: And we also thought this is going to be so popular.
• 16:42
  Sean McAllister: And we're not the only ones either.
• 16:44
  Sean McAllister: Here are uh Caesars Entertainment Executive Sean McBurney and chef Chris Santos.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_01: Stanton Social Prime is the perfect addition because when you go in there you feel it's a vibe restaurant, it's a sexy space.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_01: If you're going to Omnia Nightclub, there's no better restaurant to go to than Stanton Social Prime.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_01: It really provides something that we haven't had in the end of the empire up until this point.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_00: Uh bringing back a restaurant I had for 15 years in New York City, reinventing it as a modern steakhouse here at Caesars Palace.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_00: So San Social was a restaurant I opened on the Lower East Side in 2004, all share plates.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_00: I have a cookbook called Share.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_00: It's kind of like how my whole thing.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and uh it became an overnight hit in New York City.
• 17:25
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and according to everyone that knows this restaurant well, you have to have the onion soup dumplings.
• 17:33
  Sean McAllister: Everyone was raving about them.
• 17:35
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 17:35
  Dayna Roselli: And they were saying like they used to have these dumplings at their other restaurant in New York City, and it was like the number one ordered item.
• 17:42
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, super popular.
• 17:44
  Sean McAllister: Uh, and everybody we talked to said uh who had actually gone in to do uh menu tastings for everything that's being offered there, said, You cannot go wrong on anything you order there.
• 17:56
  Sean McAllister: So looking forward to uh going back and welcome Stanton Social Prime to Las Vegas and Caesars Palace.
• 18:05
  Dayna Roselli: Uh something else we did that actually we didn't have on our list, and I forgot I wanted to mention.
• 18:09
  Dayna Roselli: We did to the Rouge Room.
• 18:11
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, we did at Red Rock.
• 18:12
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, because we we had talked about it a few times in the podcast that we were going, but then I just was thinking we never talked about after.
• 18:19
  Dayna Roselli: So that is another new, like kind of swanky place, right?
• 18:23
  Dayna Roselli: Like a Parisian, kind of dark red colors.
• 18:26
  Dayna Roselli: It was great.
• 18:27
  Dayna Roselli: It's in the former, well, it used to be cherry, then it was crimson, then it was something in bloom.
• 18:36
  Dayna Roselli: Crimson and bloom.
• 18:37
  Dayna Roselli: Crimson and bloom.
• 18:38
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, yeah, during you know, the springtime.
• 18:40
  Dayna Roselli: But it's been a lot of things over the years, but it's always a great spot.
• 18:44
  Dayna Roselli: And it kind of you walk down this little tunnel and it leads into this bar area that's really nice with booths, and then it leads you right outside to a little pool area.
• 18:53
  Dayna Roselli: So it's it's a great vibe with a bar out there.
• 18:56
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, um, it was a super nice space.
• 19:01
  Sean McAllister: Uh, they had a martini cart rolling around, lots of specialty cocktails.
• 19:05
  Sean McAllister: There was caviar being served, you know, some elevated uh dishes for the cocktail lounge environment.
• 19:13
  Sean McAllister: So you know uh Rouge now open over at Red Rock.
• 19:16
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, in the fries with this truffle something.
• 19:19
  Sean McAllister: Oh, the truffle aioli.
• 19:20
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 19:21
  Dayna Roselli: Now I think you were standing and chatting, and we ordered you some, or we asked the person, and then I think I ate mine, and then you never sat down, so I ate yours.
• 19:31
  Sean McAllister: You did bring me some.
• 19:32
  Sean McAllister: Oh, did I?
• 19:33
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 19:33
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, I don't remember.
• 19:34
  Dayna Roselli: Maybe I was tipsy.
• 19:35
  Dayna Roselli: The martini cart rolled around too many times.
• 19:40
  Dayna Roselli: I don't remember that.
• 19:41
  Dayna Roselli: See, you can tell it was on my mind though, that I felt guilty.
• 19:44
  Dayna Roselli: I was eating your fries.
• 19:45
  Dayna Roselli: I'm bringing it up again, and then I apparently brought them to you.
• 19:49
  Sean McAllister: Let go of your guilt.
• 19:50
  Sean McAllister: I got my fries.
• 19:52
  unknown: Okay.
• 19:55
  Dayna Roselli: Well, when this podcast drops, I will have already gone to Taylor Swift show at Allegiant Stadium.
• 20:00
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, I finally got a pass.
• 20:02
  Sean McAllister: Which is a huge reversal of fate from the last time we sat down to record because I said, Roselli, do you have your Taylor Swift tickets?
• 20:10
  Sean McAllister: And the answer was no.
• 20:12
  Dayna Roselli: Well, I got a text today, and now I do, and I'm so excited, I can't even tell you.
• 20:17
  Dayna Roselli: I feel like a little girl in middle school getting ready to go to New Kids on the Block.
• 20:23
  Sean McAllister: Are you gonna like rhinestone your kids?
• 20:27
  Dayna Roselli: No, you know what?
• 20:28
  Dayna Roselli: I already have well, look at the shoes I'm wearing.
• 20:29
  Dayna Roselli: I'm wearing these.
• 20:30
  Dayna Roselli: I guess.
• 20:30
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, those are already sparkly because I need comfortable shoes.
• 20:33
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 20:33
  Dayna Roselli: Because whoever's going to the show is gonna do a lot of walking, you know, to get there.
• 20:37
  Dayna Roselli: So I'm wearing my sparkly sneakers.
• 20:39
  Dayna Roselli: But you know, I'm not putting, I'm not gonna overthink it because I really just want to be comfortable.
• 20:43
  Dayna Roselli: I want to enjoy the show.
• 20:44
  Dayna Roselli: It's apparently over three hours.
• 20:46
  Dayna Roselli: She does 44 songs.
• 20:48
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, people are raving about it.
• 20:50
  Dayna Roselli: The production is apparently over the top, goes through all the eras.
• 20:53
  Dayna Roselli: I can't wait for the whole thing.
• 20:54
  Dayna Roselli: I'm so excited.
• 20:56
  Sean McAllister: It's gonna be great.
• 20:57
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 20:57
  Sean McAllister: I'm glad that uh Taylor did two nights here in Las Vegas and now she's off across the country.
• 21:04
  Sean McAllister: She'll be back for our the rest of our West Coast listeners.
• 21:08
  Sean McAllister: Uh more towards summer, her tour comes back uh out west and ends up in Los Angeles.
• 21:14
  Dayna Roselli: So we're kind of like it's like Arizona and us, and then she goes out east.
• 21:17
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 21:18
  Dayna Roselli: Florida, and then the mid.
• 21:19
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so it's interesting because we're kind of like the first westernish.
• 21:24
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, I'm excited.
• 21:25
  Dayna Roselli: We're basically kicking off the Aeros tour.
• 21:27
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, these first four shows for sure.
• 21:29
  Sean McAllister: I love it.
• 21:30
  Dayna Roselli: Um, we're also gonna be going to Maroon Five.
• 21:33
  Dayna Roselli: They are kicking off, uh, well, we will we'll have already gone when this podcast rolls.
• 21:38
  Dayna Roselli: It's always hard because you know, we do pre-record, but we'll talk about Maroon Five next week.
• 21:43
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, really excited for their show over at Park MGM.
• 21:46
  Sean McAllister: And thank you to Maroon Five for sending over a bottle of tequila along with a recipe for the Maroon 5 Las Vegas margarita.
• 21:57
  Sean McAllister: And it's actually the M5LV margarita.
• 22:00
  Sean McAllister: Margarita is what they're calling.
• 22:01
  Dayna Roselli: That's a nice bottle right there.
• 22:02
  Dayna Roselli: What's the brand?
• 22:04
  Sean McAllister: It is.
• 22:04
  Sean McAllister: This is uh Cali Rosa.
• 22:06
  Dayna Roselli: Ooh, it looks good.
• 22:07
  Dayna Roselli: I love that it's kind of like a blush color.
• 22:09
  Dayna Roselli: Is that a blush-colored tequila?
• 22:11
  Sean McAllister: It's a rosa blanco tequila.
• 22:13
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, I've never had that.
• 22:14
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, made in Mexico, the Cali Rosa brand.
• 22:17
  Dayna Roselli: Looking forward to it.
• 22:19
  Dayna Roselli: That's nice.
• 22:20
  Dayna Roselli: Good stuff.
• 22:22
  Dayna Roselli: Rune five.
• 22:23
  Dayna Roselli: They do it right.
• 22:24
  Dayna Roselli: Adam Levine.
• 22:25
  Dayna Roselli: He's always on top of it.
• 22:26
  Dayna Roselli: He is.
• 22:28
  Dayna Roselli: All right.
• 22:29
  Dayna Roselli: Next week we are going to be talking to uh one of the entertainment directors over at Resorts World.
• 22:33
  Dayna Roselli: They have incredible things coming up and a large variety of events and attractions coming and shows.
• 22:40
  Dayna Roselli: So that's going to be a good conversation.
• 22:43
  Dayna Roselli: Uh so tune in next week for that.
• 22:46
  Dayna Roselli: But right now, we're going to do some tips.
• 22:53
  Sean McAllister: And Dana, tip number one this week is in case you're planning on using Las Vegas as the backdrop for an upcoming proposal.
• 23:03
  Dayna Roselli: Which a lot of people do.
• 23:04
  Dayna Roselli: They love something unique, different.
• 23:06
  Dayna Roselli: They go on vacation with a significant other and say, let's go to Vegas.
• 23:12
  Dayna Roselli: And then poof, the big question gets popped.
• 23:16
  Sean McAllister: And who knows?
• 23:17
  Sean McAllister: Maybe you propose one night and have the wedding the next night.
• 23:20
  Sean McAllister: True.
• 23:21
  Sean McAllister: Or the next hour.
• 23:22
  Sean McAllister: Or the next hour.
• 23:23
  Sean McAllister: It doesn't even matter.
• 23:24
  Sean McAllister: Uh this is pretty cool though.
• 23:26
  Sean McAllister: We saw this and wanted to share it.
• 23:28
  Sean McAllister: You can now propose using the Fremont Street Viva Vision Canopy.
• 23:34
  Sean McAllister: If you get in touch with them, you can work out the details and they will put your message up on the canopy.
• 23:42
  Sean McAllister: So you have to make sure that you're there at the time when your message is going to run.
• 23:46
  Sean McAllister: Otherwise, a whole bunch of people are going to know about the proposal except your person who you're proposing to.
• 23:52
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 23:53
  Dayna Roselli: What a unique idea.
• 23:54
  Dayna Roselli: Isn't that cool though?
• 23:55
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, because we hear about so many different things proposing in front of the Eiffel Tower and like in front of the fountains, but this is something I've never heard of.
• 24:02
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I hadn't heard about this either.
• 24:03
  Sean McAllister: And they said the only thing that you need to watch out for is that uh your proposal time cannot uh interfere with any of the regularly scheduled Viva Vision Canopy shows.
• 24:17
  Sean McAllister: So there's time between those shows when you know personalized messages can run.
• 24:22
  Sean McAllister: So if you're interested in this, you can send an email to contact at vegasexperience.com and we'll put that uh email link down in our show notes as well.
• 24:35
  Dayna Roselli: Also worth noting last week when we did the visitor study, when it was reasons to go downtown, the number one reason was for the Fremont Street Experience.
• 24:44
  Dayna Roselli: That is very true.
• 24:45
  Dayna Roselli: Under the canopy.
• 24:46
  Dayna Roselli: So it's a popular spot.
• 24:48
  Dayna Roselli: So make sense.
• 24:50
  Dayna Roselli: That would be a fun one.
• 24:51
  Sean McAllister: It is, and make sure to bring somebody who could video that moment too, because I guarantee you'll get a lot of people cheering and applauding for you after you pop the question and they see the message on the screen too.
• 25:04
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and if you listen to this tip and you do it, you better send us a video.
• 25:07
  Sean McAllister: Yes, tag us, please.
• 25:09
  Sean McAllister: We would love to see it.
• 25:10
  Dayna Roselli: We would.
• 25:11
  Dayna Roselli: Um, you know, and if it is a last minute thing, you could call Sean and I.
• 25:14
  Dayna Roselli: If we aren't busy, we'll come be in the wedding.
• 25:17
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, we could do that.
• 25:18
  Dayna Roselli: Down at the uh drive-thru chapel.
• 25:20
  Dayna Roselli: We'll sit in the back seat.
• 25:27
  Dayna Roselli: All right, well, let's talk shopping.
• 25:29
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, got a note from the Las Vegas North Premium Outlets.
• 25:32
  Dayna Roselli: And I must say, I really love this outlet mall.
• 25:36
  Dayna Roselli: I go there as much as I can, and sometimes life gets busy and I forget.
• 25:40
  Dayna Roselli: And then whenever I go there, I go, man, I need to shop here more because you get tons of deals.
• 25:44
  Sean McAllister: I always find great stuff there.
• 25:46
  Dayna Roselli: It is good, right?
• 25:46
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 25:47
  Dayna Roselli: It's more outdoor.
• 25:48
  Dayna Roselli: So if it's a chilly day, it can be a little tough.
• 25:50
  Dayna Roselli: Just bundle up or a super hot day.
• 25:52
  Dayna Roselli: Be prepared.
• 25:53
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, or super hot.
• 25:54
  Dayna Roselli: You're right.
• 25:54
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but they're kind of like it's like a mall that you walk kind of outside.
• 25:58
  Dayna Roselli: So it's not indoors, but it's a great spot and the weather's perfect here, usually.
• 26:02
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but they're hosting a spring luxury preview event.
• 26:05
  Dayna Roselli: It's March 30th from five to eight.
• 26:08
  Dayna Roselli: And apparently shoppers can can hop to the outlet center and enjoy all these different like activations that they're gonna have there.
• 26:15
  Dayna Roselli: They're gonna have retail promotions.
• 26:18
  Dayna Roselli: You're gonna get a gift with purchase, which is available over at the guest services as long as you have a day of receipt.
• 26:24
  Sean McAllister: Okay.
• 26:25
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 26:25
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and you're gonna get complimentary valet, and you're gonna get access to drop it, which is this digital service that will deliver shopping bags directly to your hotel.
• 26:36
  Dayna Roselli: Wow.
• 26:37
  Dayna Roselli: Or your home.
• 26:38
  Dayna Roselli: So that you don't, because when you're out, you know, shopping around, as the bags start to add up, right?
• 26:44
  Dayna Roselli: It starts to be like you don't want to shop anymore because you're carrying all this stuff.
• 26:47
  Dayna Roselli: Well, they're gonna take it and just, you know, as you go along, just deliver it.
• 26:51
  Sean McAllister: Huh.
• 26:52
  Dayna Roselli: Um, well, they'll deliver it at the end, apparently.
• 26:54
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 26:55
  Dayna Roselli: So right to your hotel and interesting.
• 26:57
  Dayna Roselli: That's a cool service.
• 26:58
  Dayna Roselli: I know, it really is.
• 26:59
  Dayna Roselli: So participating stores um include like Jimmy Choo, Stuart Weisman, David Yeerman.
• 27:05
  Dayna Roselli: There's tons of different stores.
• 27:06
  Dayna Roselli: And I know when people visit Las Vegas, they love to check out our luxury stores because it's not something that they can easily find in their hometown.
• 27:15
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 27:15
  Dayna Roselli: So this would be a spot to go find, you know, already it's an outlet store.
• 27:20
  Dayna Roselli: So you're there are gonna be discounts, and now there's gonna be even more.
• 27:22
  Dayna Roselli: So check it out.
• 27:23
  Dayna Roselli: The uh North Premium Outlets, you basically take I-15 and get off around Charleston, and it's right there.
• 27:30
  Dayna Roselli: You'll see it.
• 27:31
  Dayna Roselli: It's right next to the big huge building, which is the uh Las Vegas Furniture Market Place.
• 27:36
  Sean McAllister: Uh the World Market Center.
• 27:37
  Dayna Roselli: World Market Center, you're right.
• 27:38
  Dayna Roselli: And it's easy to get to.
• 27:40
  Dayna Roselli: So um, just a little tip if you want to shop.
• 27:42
  Dayna Roselli: So I love it.
• 27:43
  Dayna Roselli: Proposals downtown and then a little shopping.
• 27:45
  Dayna Roselli: Those are our tips today.
• 27:46
  Dayna Roselli: Do we make 30 minutes around?
• 27:48
  Sean McAllister: Uh, right around there.
• 27:50
  Sean McAllister: It's gonna be right up against it.
• 27:52
  Sean McAllister: Oh, that's good.
• 27:53
  Dayna Roselli: It's our goal every week to be around 30 minutes, and we just keep getting longer and longer and longer.
• 27:57
  Dayna Roselli: So it like doesn't work at all.
• 27:59
  Sean McAllister: We're trying to rein ourselves in.
• 28:01
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 28:01
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, and listen, to find that shopping spot, you might want to download the Vegas Near Me app.
• 28:06
  Dayna Roselli: We have a link free in our show notes.
• 28:08
  Dayna Roselli: Uh again, they have everything Vegas in there that's fun to do or see, attractions.
• 28:13
  Dayna Roselli: You'll find details, hours, where to park, all that good information.
• 28:17
  Dayna Roselli: We've had a few of our listeners write us just last week saying, Thank you so much.
• 28:20
  Dayna Roselli: I downloaded it, I'm getting ready to come to Vegas.
• 28:23
  Dayna Roselli: This is perfect.
• 28:24
  Dayna Roselli: So again, it's free.
• 28:25
  Dayna Roselli: Nothing, you can have an Android, you can have an iPhone, whatever you want.
