• 2:04
  Dayna Roselli: Alright, let's spin that wheel right now.
• 2:16
  Dayna Roselli: Welcome to Vegas Revealed episode 106.
• 2:20
  Dayna Roselli: It is Dana Roselli along with Sean McAllister.
• 2:23
  Dayna Roselli: Uh having a nice week in Vegas, a little cooler than it has been lately.
• 2:27
  Dayna Roselli: But Sean, last weekend I was at the pool.
• 2:29
  Dayna Roselli: Did you see me?
• 2:30
  Sean McAllister: I did.
• 2:31
  Sean McAllister: You were laying out, you had some friends out there at the pool too.
• 2:35
  Dayna Roselli: I was saying there was more people at the pool last weekend, it when it was in the 70s, than there are in the summer.
• 2:42
  Dayna Roselli: Because I think it was more comfortable.
• 2:44
  Sean McAllister: I mean, this is listen, this is the trade-off you get living in Las Vegas.
• 2:50
  Sean McAllister: In the summer, you get three months when it's really ridiculously hot, but the rest of the year and during the winter, it's extremely mild and absolutely beautiful.
• 3:02
  Sean McAllister: And you can sit at the pool sometimes in February, and it's 75 degrees outside.
• 3:08
  Sean McAllister: It's beautiful.
• 3:09
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 3:09
  Dayna Roselli: It's so true.
• 3:10
  Dayna Roselli: We've got a bit of a cool cooldown, but you know, that's also nice because you get some more sweater wear in and all that kind of thing, and then we'll we'll bounce back quick.
• 3:17
  Sean McAllister: We will.
• 3:18
  Sean McAllister: We will.
• 3:18
  Sean McAllister: By by March, we're gonna be roaring like lions and ready to rock those swimsuits.
• 3:24
  Sean McAllister: Well, I don't know if we'll be ready to rock the swimsuits, but we'll be breathing fire.
• 3:28
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, exactly.
• 3:29
  unknown: Exactly.
• 3:30
  Dayna Roselli: Um, listen, want to talk quickly about the Super Bowl halftime show.
• 3:33
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, you know, obviously it's been a bunch of days since then.
• 3:37
  Dayna Roselli: Most people have, you know, hashed it out and discussed it, but um uh the little bit of vaguest that we feel we can bring to the conversation is you and I chatting about how that would be like the best residency show ever.
• 3:51
  Sean McAllister: I mean, if it was a Kings of Hip Hop residency show and they each had their own set within the 90 minutes, uh that would be the best gig in the world for that group.
• 4:03
  Dayna Roselli: It really would.
• 4:04
  Dayna Roselli: And if anyone doesn't know what we're talking about, it was Dr.
• 4:07
  Dayna Roselli: Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J, 50 Cent with a surprise appearance, coming in upside down, by the way, Eminem, and Kendrick Lamar.
• 4:18
  Dayna Roselli: So people were flipping out over this, especially if you grew up in the you were a teenager in the 90s, right?
• 4:24
  Sean McAllister: Oh, it was incredible.
• 4:25
  Sean McAllister: I was wishing that there was more Eminem.
• 4:29
  Dayna Roselli: Me too.
• 4:29
  Sean McAllister: And I was I was thinking at the end when all of them were up on top of the, you know, that house or whatever they had.
• 4:36
  Sean McAllister: Um, I was thinking they were gonna all do a big like medley together.
• 4:42
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 4:42
  Sean McAllister: And I wanted the show to keep on going.
• 4:44
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 4:45
  Dayna Roselli: Everyone kept going, give me more halftime show.
• 4:47
  Dayna Roselli: You know?
• 4:48
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, I know everyone has their thoughts.
• 4:49
  Dayna Roselli: Some people always love it, some people say it's the best ever.
• 4:52
  Dayna Roselli: Then everyone fights back and forth.
• 4:53
  Dayna Roselli: No, this was the best ever.
• 4:55
  Dayna Roselli: It was a great halftime show, I think.
• 4:57
  Dayna Roselli: We we both agree.
• 4:58
  Dayna Roselli: It was a lot of fun.
• 5:00
  Dayna Roselli: But the one place that we were just discussing, like, where would this residency show go?
• 5:04
  Dayna Roselli: We were like the sphere that's being built, that big, huge globe near the Venetian, because we've always wondered, like, what are they gonna exactly use that for?
• 5:12
  Dayna Roselli: Something different.
• 5:12
  Dayna Roselli: But can you imagine that would be a sellout non-stop?
• 5:17
  Sean McAllister: Absolutely.
• 5:17
  Sean McAllister: And listen, if you haven't been to Las Vegas over the past couple years because of travel restrictions, you just feel safer at home, whatever.
• 5:26
  Sean McAllister: There's this big uh multi-use arena that's being built behind the Venetian, and it almost looks like uh the the big ball at Epcot Center.
• 5:38
  Dayna Roselli: You know, that big yes, I love that.
• 5:40
  Sean McAllister: That it looks like a big golf ball.
• 5:41
  Dayna Roselli: It does, yeah.
• 5:42
  Sean McAllister: Well this is very similar, except the whole outside is gonna be an LED screen and will be have the capabilities to turn into pretty much whatever it wants to.
• 5:52
  Sean McAllister: But inside it's going to be used for uh conferences, conventions, concerts, sporting events.
• 6:00
  Sean McAllister: And it looks like it's well, they talk about it being uh like super state-of-the-art.
• 6:05
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I mean it's going to be, right?
• 6:07
  Dayna Roselli: It's it's MSG putting it on.
• 6:09
  Dayna Roselli: And like if anyone wants to see an update on the construction, I posted something about a month ago when I was at the top of the Eiffel Tower of Paris.
• 6:16
  Dayna Roselli: I got a really good video of it.
• 6:17
  Dayna Roselli: It's on my social media.
• 6:18
  Dayna Roselli: I'll put it on the Vegas Revealed social media too, but it's really coming along, and I think it's supposed to open like mid-2023.
• 6:26
  Sean McAllister: So it's I'm looking forward to it.
• 6:27
  Dayna Roselli: Me too.
• 6:28
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, we'll see if that happens, right?
• 6:31
  Dayna Roselli: Maybe that's our that's our two cents.
• 6:32
  Dayna Roselli: The Kings of Hip Hop at the sphere.
• 6:34
  Sean McAllister: Just throwing it out there on the Vegas vision board.
• 6:37
  Dayna Roselli: All right, let's talk Luke Bryan.
• 6:40
  Dayna Roselli: He had a fantastic opening night that you and I were lucky enough to be a part of at Resorts World.
• 6:46
  Dayna Roselli: Did we have a fun night or what?
• 6:48
  Sean McAllister: That was a blast, and I feel like it was the first time we saw a bunch of our, you know, friends, colleagues in the Vegas entertainment sphere in a really long time.
• 7:01
  Sean McAllister: It was the first time we were all kind of together in a room.
• 7:04
  Dayna Roselli: Without masks on.
• 7:05
  Sean McAllister: Without masks on.
• 7:06
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 7:07
  Sean McAllister: And every that's what everyone was saying.
• 7:09
  Sean McAllister: They're like, oh my gosh, I forgot what your face actually looked like.
• 7:12
  Sean McAllister: It's been so long.
• 7:14
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 7:14
  Dayna Roselli: That was a lot of fun.
• 7:15
  Dayna Roselli: We had a great little, oh, it was just a kind of reception thing that we were able to be a part of.
• 7:20
  Dayna Roselli: Then we went down to the VIP room and we met Luke Bryan.
• 7:24
  Dayna Roselli: We got to stand in front of him.
• 7:25
  Dayna Roselli: He talked to the very small group of us about his excitement because he hadn't actually done the show in front of an audience yet.
• 7:33
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 7:33
  Dayna Roselli: So we got to see, and he's was nervous.
• 7:35
  Dayna Roselli: He was like, and he was drinking his one margarita, two margarita.
• 7:39
  Dayna Roselli: And yeah, he played a couple songs for us.
• 7:41
  Dayna Roselli: That was so much fun.
• 7:42
  Sean McAllister: It really was.
• 7:43
  Sean McAllister: And I think even he was having so much fun the margarita got knocked over.
• 7:48
  Sean McAllister: He did at one point.
• 7:49
  Dayna Roselli: I think we have that on video, but um, so we're gonna play some clips from the show as far as you know what Luke said to the audience and all that kind of thing.
• 7:57
  Dayna Roselli: But um, let's just talk about some of the moments that to us stuck out as different for a Vegas show.
• 8:04
  Dayna Roselli: I know the bridge that went up at the end was something that both you and I had never seen, and he had this bridge that lifted up and went up to the balcony, which was great because everyone up there sat back in the balcony, didn't think they were gonna get that close to Luke.
• 8:19
  Dayna Roselli: And then that moment was great.
• 8:21
  Sean McAllister: I mean, it really is.
• 8:22
  Sean McAllister: It's this entire uh steel bridge mechanism that that lowers down from the ceiling inside the theater, and it's got this bridge, this ramp that goes and connects to the stage.
• 8:35
  Sean McAllister: Luke runs up there and he's on this bridge, essentially uh enabling him to give a front row experience to all the fans who are up in the balcony.
• 8:47
  Sean McAllister: Just a super cool thing that I have never seen done in a residency show here in Las Vegas.
• 8:54
  Sean McAllister: I know people have uh talked about, oh, I've seen concerts where this entertainer or that entertainer have done something similar.
• 9:02
  Sean McAllister: Maybe, fair enough.
• 9:04
  Sean McAllister: I've seen similar things too, but never in a standalone residency show.
• 9:10
  Dayna Roselli: No, and I don't know about lifting that way.
• 9:12
  Dayna Roselli: Like I've seen, I think it was Aerosmith did that bridge in the middle, went down the center.
• 9:16
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I think it was like an arm that stuck out from the stage.
• 9:20
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 9:20
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, you know, but this was, you know, it gave it so cool.
• 9:24
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it gave those folks the biggest thrill.
• 9:26
  Dayna Roselli: It was great, and he didn't just like pop up and pop down.
• 9:28
  Dayna Roselli: He was up there, he was chatting with the audience.
• 9:31
  Sean McAllister: He was booty shaking up.
• 9:32
  Dayna Roselli: He was.
• 9:33
  Dayna Roselli: Maybe, you know what?
• 9:34
  Dayna Roselli: Let's play a clip.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_01: Hey, you know the world is crazy right now, but everybody can still shake their ass and dance.
• 9:46
  Dayna Roselli: He was so personable.
• 9:47
  Dayna Roselli: Sean, going in, I was not a Luke Bryan fan, and I mean like as in I didn't follow a lot of his music, right?
• 9:53
  Dayna Roselli: I left a fan.
• 9:55
  Dayna Roselli: And it was the bet.
• 9:57
  Dayna Roselli: I am like this guy is fun, he's got energy, his songs are catchy, uh, he put on a great show, and you know, he didn't even change his outfit once.
• 10:06
  Dayna Roselli: We didn't need to.
• 10:07
  Sean McAllister: No, he didn't.
• 10:08
  Dayna Roselli: He just was, you know, entertaining.
• 10:10
  Sean McAllister: He was, and you know, we've talked about this here on Vegas Revealed before.
• 10:14
  Sean McAllister: I think the mark of really a great Las Vegas residency is when you go in seeing an entertainer who you haven't necessarily followed or been a huge fan of, but when you come out of that show, you're like, oh my gosh, I want their music on my playlist now.
• 10:34
  Sean McAllister: I want to listen to them in the car, at the gym, out on a run, uh at parties.
• 10:40
  Sean McAllister: And that's what Luke did.
• 10:41
  Sean McAllister: And it is one big party.
• 10:43
  Dayna Roselli: That that and I want to go back to the show.
• 10:44
  Dayna Roselli: I'm like, that was great.
• 10:46
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, I couldn't take in all this the stage, like there was just so much going on and the shifting and the lights and the when he came out.
• 10:53
  Dayna Roselli: Um, we haven't posted some of the like opening and stuff like that on our social media yet.
• 10:59
  Dayna Roselli: Because we like to, you know, when someone debuts, I like to give people the chance to see it and not spoil everything, but we'll put some of that up.
• 11:06
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, I mean, it just was fun.
• 11:08
  Dayna Roselli: I want to go back and see Luke Bryan.
• 11:10
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm and you know what?
• 11:11
  Dayna Roselli: We can because he added nine new dates.
• 11:14
  Sean McAllister: Fantastic.
• 11:14
  Sean McAllister: I love that.
• 11:16
  Dayna Roselli: Most of them are in June, one's in August, and then there's two in September.
• 11:20
  Dayna Roselli: So that's exciting.
• 11:22
  Dayna Roselli: I think they'll be on sale by the 21st of February.
• 11:25
  Dayna Roselli: And um, he was let's let's hear from Luke.
• 11:28
  Dayna Roselli: Now, you were shooting some videos, so we were able to capture some sound.
• 11:32
  Dayna Roselli: First of all, he really addressed the audience um in you know, being the first audience to be at his show.
• 11:40
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and then he really had some fun that it was also the first weekend that masks were off indoors in Las Vegas.
• 11:46
  Dayna Roselli: Let's listen.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_01: Now, this is an amazing night, guys.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_01: This is an amazing situation to to have a to have a place here in Las Vegas to call home and um to play every night and have fun.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_01: This is opening night.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_01: And you guys were the first to buy tickets to my opening night.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I'd like to take um I'd like to take some personal credit.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_01: Um and and uh you know just get rid of the mask mandate.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_01: I really appreciate that.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like the governor I feel like the governor has saw that we're all coming here, he's just like, oh, just just happens.
• 13:04
  Sean McAllister: I mean, that gives you uh just a a glimpse of the fun that Luke has on stage.
• 13:10
  Dayna Roselli: I learned a new word, shit.
• 13:12
  Dayna Roselli: What was that?
• 13:13
  Dayna Roselli: Is that a country?
• 13:14
  Sean McAllister: Like Well, I think it's like a Wamba Nation.
• 13:17
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I was like, oh, I need to use that.
• 13:21
  Sean McAllister: Well, and as you heard there, uh Luke was trying to take some credit for uh the mask mandate being lifted in the state of Nevada.
• 13:31
  Sean McAllister: Well, guess what?
• 13:32
  Sean McAllister: The governor of Nevada caught wind of that and sent a tweet out to Luke Bryan.
• 13:38
  Sean McAllister: He said, uh, don't mean to crash your party, Luke, but I can't give you credit here.
• 13:43
  Sean McAllister: The credit actually goes to Nevadans and visitors who got vaccinated and boosted to protect everyone from COVID.
• 13:51
  Sean McAllister: Well, once the governor spoke, Luke had to respond, and he said, Dang, please, Mr.
• 13:57
  Sean McAllister: Governor, I was I need a little credit.
• 13:59
  Sean McAllister: I was just playing around, honored to be playing music in your state.
• 14:02
  Sean McAllister: Come see the show anytime.
• 14:04
  Sean McAllister: And then the governor wrote back and said, Yeah, I'd love to come over there and see the show.
• 14:09
  Sean McAllister: But I love that uh Luke's already getting into some back and forth with Governor Sizzlac.
• 14:16
  Dayna Roselli: So funny.
• 14:17
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, he's he's definitely a lot of fun.
• 14:19
  Dayna Roselli: I saw a totally different side than I thought that I knew of Luke Bryan.
• 14:24
  Dayna Roselli: I just, you know, occasionally see him judging TV shows.
• 14:27
  Dayna Roselli: What is he at?
• 14:28
  Dayna Roselli: The voice, right?
• 14:29
  Sean McAllister: American Idol.
• 14:30
  Dayna Roselli: Oh yeah, American Idol.
• 14:31
  Dayna Roselli: Whatever.
• 14:32
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway.
• 14:32
  Sean McAllister: I haven't watched either of those in years.
• 14:35
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 14:36
  Dayna Roselli: So basically, uh, we enjoyed it.
• 14:38
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and then also the theater was gorgeous.
• 14:41
  Dayna Roselli: You and I chatted last week and I said I hadn't been to the theater yet.
• 14:44
  Dayna Roselli: You had to seen Carrie Katie Perry, yeah.
• 14:47
  Dayna Roselli: And gorgeous theater.
• 14:49
  Dayna Roselli: I loved it.
• 14:50
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, anytime anything's new, it's beautiful, but I really, really thought this was a great space.
• 14:55
  Dayna Roselli: And I felt like all the seats were good, like you said.
• 14:58
  Sean McAllister: They they are.
• 14:59
  Sean McAllister: And uh what I also think is nice about it, you know how some theaters when you go in and out before and after the show, it can get super cramped and crowded.
• 15:11
  Sean McAllister: The theater is designed in a way where it's just such an open space that you don't feel like everybody's being funneled at at one time.
• 15:22
  Sean McAllister: True.
• 15:22
  Sean McAllister: And so I like that about the Resorts World Theater.
• 15:25
  Dayna Roselli: I don't remember too much walking in, but I remember that VIP party was really good.
• 15:30
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, walking out I remember.
• 15:34
  Dayna Roselli: All right, well, let's a good party.
• 15:36
  Dayna Roselli: It was a good party, yeah.
• 15:38
  Dayna Roselli: All right, well, the uh Academy of Country Music Awards are coming to Las Vegas at Allegiance Stadium, right at the uh beginning of March.
• 15:47
  Dayna Roselli: But speaking of Luke, Resorts World Theater has been nominated for an ACM award.
• 15:54
  Dayna Roselli: So that's kind of cool.
• 15:55
  Dayna Roselli: It's called Casino of the Year-Theater is the category.
• 15:59
  Dayna Roselli: And it's presented to an outstanding theater or showroom within a casino, selected by a professional panel of judges.
• 16:06
  Dayna Roselli: So congratulations to Resorts World Theater.
• 16:09
  Dayna Roselli: They're part of the five nominees, so we'll have to see if they are the big winner on March 7th.
• 16:17
  Sean McAllister: And I have to believe that uh it has something to do with having Luke Bryan, who's been entertainer of the year many times, and Carrie Underwood, who is a multi-ACM winning artist.
• 16:34
  Sean McAllister: Uh, having both of those uh performers on stage at Resorts World, I've gotta believe that's gonna give them the edge.
• 16:42
  Dayna Roselli: Well, true, and then like it gets those people in the theater, you know, and to see it and stuff like that.
• 16:48
  Dayna Roselli: So yeah, excited for Resorts World.
• 16:50
  Dayna Roselli: Um, you know, I say it all the time, it's one of my favorite properties, and it the theater really blew me away.
• 16:55
  Sean McAllister: And by the way, Dana, uh, speaking of the ACM Awards, uh, Monday, March 7th, uh, you're going to be on the red carpet.
• 17:03
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 17:03
  Dayna Roselli: I'm scheduled to be on the carpet for the Vegas on show that you can see at visitlosvegas.com.
• 17:09
  Dayna Roselli: Sean and I are correspondents for that show.
• 17:11
  Dayna Roselli: We just wrapped up a couple shoots.
• 17:13
  Dayna Roselli: I did something at Brewery Row.
• 17:15
  Dayna Roselli: Sean did something at Top Golf and the Bellagio Fountains.
• 17:18
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 17:18
  Dayna Roselli: And then I'll be on the red carpet for the ACMs.
• 17:21
  Sean McAllister: And another red carpet that uh we were both just on, Dana, was at the LA Comedy Club.
• 17:28
  Sean McAllister: It was the grand opening of the dragon room over at the Strat Casino Hotel and Skypod.
• 17:35
  Sean McAllister: Um the dragon room for the LA Comedy Club is it moved locations.
• 17:40
  Sean McAllister: It used to be upstairs, and now they've built out a brand new comedy club down right off of the casino floor, and they've done a terrific job with it.
• 17:50
  Sean McAllister: It's a great room.
• 17:51
  Dayna Roselli: It is.
• 17:52
  Dayna Roselli: It's right next to McCall's restaurant, and it is gorgeous.
• 17:55
  Dayna Roselli: It's double the size that they had before.
• 17:57
  Dayna Roselli: So they've got a lot more space there.
• 17:59
  Dayna Roselli: There's a bar in there.
• 18:01
  Dayna Roselli: They were so excited to celebrate this space, and it happened to be the exact day that the governor announced that he was, you know, changing the indoor mask mandate and saying, you know, it's taking place right now.
• 18:14
  Dayna Roselli: It was literally that day.
• 18:16
  Dayna Roselli: So it was great for them because that night the masks were off and they could really celebrate.
• 18:20
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and they were ready to celebrate.
• 18:22
  Sean McAllister: And we caught up with the owner of the club and some of the comedians to hear their take on the news that had just come down a couple hours before.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_03: I knew that tonight was the the grand opening, so I called the governor and I said, listen, it's most is lack, right?
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_03: What's his name?
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_04: Well, it's good because we feel like we've been putting smiles on people's faces, and now we know we're putting smiles on people's faces because the masks are gone.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_04: So it's it's good to see those smiles again.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_03: I said, listen, no mask.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_03: You gotta you're gonna have to lift the mandate so we can have a great grand open.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_03: So he lifts the type of pull I have in this town.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know if you know that.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_04: Everyone being safe is obviously the most important thing, but it it makes it feel like it did before.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_04: It's gonna be nice to kind of see those mask jokes go away, I'll be honest.
• 19:05
  SPEAKER_04: Uh, and some new material to come out of this.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_04: I think it's time to turn the page and move on to the next chapter.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_04: It's hard to, yeah, it's hard to laugh when you have a mask on, but yeah, now it's good.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_04: It's good now.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, well, because a lot of it's an interaction, right?
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_04: So comment is a conversation with the audience.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_04: And it's a it's it's it's reading facial expressions.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_04: And when they don't see that, you know, they don't know sometimes if a joke's landing or if it's hitting.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_04: I can't wait to go out and just make everybody have a great time tonight.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_04: That's what it's all about.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_04: I'm so excited to see so many lovely people in this room.
• 19:34
  Sean McAllister: And that was a fun night, Dana.
• 19:36
  Sean McAllister: And something that you and I were talking about, aside from the LA Comedy Club, is how nice the casino is over there at the Strat.
• 19:46
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 19:46
  Dayna Roselli: And I was after we went there, I was at a Super Bowl get together and I was telling everyone in the room, has anyone been inside the strat?
• 19:53
  Dayna Roselli: Because Sean and I, when we walk in there, we're always like, it is so nice, some of the renovations that they've done in there.
• 19:58
  Dayna Roselli: And I think we talked about it about a year ago.
• 20:00
  Dayna Roselli: Yep.
• 20:01
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and we just keep saying, we even walked by the sports book, and I thought, that is a nice sports book that I feel like I haven't heard anyone talk about recently.
• 20:09
  Dayna Roselli: So, FYI, if you're getting ready for March Madness, check out the Strat.
• 20:14
  Dayna Roselli: It's got a great sports book.
• 20:16
  Dayna Roselli: We were saying like the furniture, even like some of the shit, like the fixtures and the art, everything.
• 20:21
  Dayna Roselli: It's really nice.
• 20:22
  Sean McAllister: Everything.
• 20:23
  Sean McAllister: It looks uh the owners over there have done a great job of uh really just keeping it up to par and up to snuff.
• 20:32
  Sean McAllister: And it's a yeah, it is.
• 20:34
  Sean McAllister: It looks nice and fresh and ready for uh your money into those slot machines.
• 20:39
  Dayna Roselli: And something we were gonna mention in tips, but we might as well just mention it right now, actually.
• 20:43
  Dayna Roselli: Uh there's a McDonald's upstairs, and you and I were saying it's rare to have a McDonald's in a hotel casino, and it's actually kind of nice when you don't want to do like the big dinner, you know, or lunch.
• 20:56
  Sean McAllister: Like sometimes just grabbing a burger or some nuggets to chow down on.
• 21:01
  Sean McAllister: Like it's a convenient thing.
• 21:02
  Dayna Roselli: It is, it is.
• 21:03
  Dayna Roselli: So FYI, second floor, there's a McDonald's.
• 21:08
  Sean McAllister: All right, well, we've got a rundown of a bunch of shows that have just been announced too, Dana.
• 21:13
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, get ready to head over to Margaritaville.
• 21:16
  Dayna Roselli: I've never seen Jimmy Buffett live, but I heard it's super uh what do they call them?
• 21:19
  Dayna Roselli: The Parrot Heads?
• 21:20
  Dayna Roselli: Is that what they're fancy?
• 21:21
  Dayna Roselli: The Parrot Heads, yeah.
• 21:22
  Dayna Roselli: The fan base of Jimmy Buffett.
• 21:23
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 21:23
  Dayna Roselli: Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band performing at MGM Grand Garden Arena Saturday, October 8th.
• 21:29
  Dayna Roselli: That was just announced, and I know he really brings them in.
• 21:33
  Sean McAllister: He does.
• 21:34
  Sean McAllister: Uh Usher also on the move.
• 21:37
  Sean McAllister: You know from listening to past episodes, Usher had a residency over at the Coliseum at Caesars Palace.
• 21:44
  Sean McAllister: Uh that d ended.
• 21:47
  Sean McAllister: Now he is over at uh Dolby Live at Park MGM.
• 21:53
  Sean McAllister: And those sh shows, I think he has twenty three shows uh throughout twenty twenty two.
• 21:59
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that'll be good.
• 22:00
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, people really enjoyed Usher at the Coliseum, so I think moving him into the park MGM is a great move.
• 22:06
  Dayna Roselli: It is.
• 22:06
  Dayna Roselli: And I'll look forward to seeing what he does on that stage.
• 22:09
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and glad that he has a place.
• 22:11
  Dayna Roselli: You know, he left the Coliseum, but there's a lot of openings at the Coliseum now, so he actually probably could have stayed.
• 22:16
  Sean McAllister: Thanks, Adele.
• 22:17
  Dayna Roselli: Thanks, Adele.
• 22:18
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 22:19
  Dayna Roselli: All right, Elvis Costello and the imposters.
• 22:21
  Dayna Roselli: I know they're super popular.
• 22:22
  Dayna Roselli: They announced a one-night only performance at the theater at Virgin Hotels.
• 22:27
  Dayna Roselli: That's on September 3rd.
• 22:28
  Sean McAllister: And Shania Twain, the country queen.
• 22:31
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 22:32
  Sean McAllister: She is back on stage over at Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood.
• 22:36
  Sean McAllister: Dana, you and I are uh headed to see Shania.
• 22:39
  Dayna Roselli: That's right.
• 22:40
  Dayna Roselli: And I haven't seen her at Zappos Theater yet, so I look forward to it.
• 22:43
  Dayna Roselli: I saw her over at the Coliseum, and I was just chatting the other day with a girlfriend of mine, Melissa, who's gonna come to Shania with me.
• 22:49
  Dayna Roselli: And we're saying, you know, I mean, her songs are catchy.
• 22:53
  Dayna Roselli: Her one album that both of us had had in college is just great.
• 22:56
  Dayna Roselli: It's hit after hit after hit, and you can't help but sing them and love them.
• 23:00
  Sean McAllister: You can't.
• 23:00
  Sean McAllister: It don't impress me much.
• 23:03
  Dayna Roselli: Let's go, girls.
• 23:04
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, you know, it's gonna be fun.
• 23:06
  Dayna Roselli: It's gonna be fun.
• 23:06
  Sean McAllister: It is, so we're looking forward.
• 23:08
  Sean McAllister: Uh Shania, welcome back to Vegas.
• 23:10
  Sean McAllister: Uh Keith Urban is uh doing a handful of shows over at Caesar's Coliseum uh in Adele's absence.
• 23:19
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 23:19
  Sean McAllister: Uh it actually was it just came out.
• 23:21
  Sean McAllister: He did an interview with People Magazine, Keith Urban did, and said that he received a very frantic phone call after Adele canceled her shows, which we presumed was the case.
• 23:33
  Dayna Roselli: We talked about it on the podcast.
• 23:34
  Dayna Roselli: We did that week when the Keith Urban shows were announced.
• 23:36
  Dayna Roselli: We're like, we're no, he he got the call to probably fill in some of those pockets, and he did.
• 23:42
  Sean McAllister: Being a team player.
• 23:43
  Sean McAllister: And uh yeah, Keith confirmed our suspicions in the new people magazine.
• 23:49
  Sean McAllister: Um, but Keith is back on stage March 25th through April 22nd.
• 23:54
  Dayna Roselli: April 2nd.
• 23:55
  Sean McAllister: Oh, April 2nd, sorry.
• 23:56
  Sean McAllister: I had the twos on the brain.
• 23:58
  Sean McAllister: Uh so that's over at the Coliseum.
• 24:02
  Dayna Roselli: Over at the Cosmopolitan, they have Kevin Hart coming to the Chelsea, and that'll be funny.
• 24:08
  Dayna Roselli: People love Kevin Hart.
• 24:10
  Dayna Roselli: I've never seen him in person.
• 24:11
  Dayna Roselli: Have you seen him do stand-up and I've not, no.
• 24:13
  Dayna Roselli: No, but I've seen clips and stuff, and he's super funny.
• 24:16
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, so popular that they actually had to add a couple more show times.
• 24:20
  Dayna Roselli: So his shows are July 2nd and July 3rd, but now they've added two show times, so they have a 7 p.m.
• 24:26
  Dayna Roselli: and a 10 p.m.
• 24:27
  Dayna Roselli: And again, that's at the Cosmopolitan.
• 24:30
  Sean McAllister: Also at the Cosmopolitan, the Killers, our Las Vegas band.
• 24:34
  Sean McAllister: They grew up here in Las Vegas.
• 24:36
  Sean McAllister: Uh, they're doing well, they announced one show over at the Cosmopolitan.
• 24:41
  Sean McAllister: It sold out almost immediately.
• 24:45
  Sean McAllister: Insane.
• 24:46
  Sean McAllister: We knew that was gonna be the case because there's always demand when there's a killer show in Vegas.
• 24:50
  Sean McAllister: So they added a second date, uh, two more dates, actually.
• 24:55
  Sean McAllister: And if you can get a ticket, you're lucky.
• 24:57
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 24:58
  Dayna Roselli: I think the special thing about this show is it's a smaller venue, right?
• 25:02
  Dayna Roselli: It doesn't happen because they are doing like their arena tour, and I think they're coming to T-Mobile in August or something like that.
• 25:07
  Dayna Roselli: But this is rare, special, and I think a lot of people wanted to be a part of that.
• 25:12
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm glad they're up for adding dates, right?
• 25:15
  Dayna Roselli: Um, one quick thing that just came in, actually, just a couple hours ago, is you know, and I know a lot of people love Motley Crue and Death Leopard and Poison and Joan Jett and the Black Hearts, and they're all coming together for a special show at Allegiant Stadium Friday, September 9th.
• 25:33
  Sean McAllister: Wow.
• 25:33
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it's the biggest North American stadium tour, apparently, uh, kicking off in June.
• 25:38
  Dayna Roselli: A million tickets have already been sold.
• 25:40
  Dayna Roselli: So five new shows added, and Allegiant Stadium, one of them.
• 25:44
  Sean McAllister: All right, should we get to tips?
• 25:46
  Dayna Roselli: Let's do it.
• 25:52
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, here's a tip.
• 25:54
  Dayna Roselli: If you'd like to see Sean and I in person, we will be at the Hard Rock Cafe on the strip, hosting another event that's taking place on March 1st.
• 26:03
  Dayna Roselli: It's 5 30 to 8 30, and it's the debut of the Lionel Messi Burger.
• 26:09
  Dayna Roselli: And this thing is no joke, Sean.
• 26:11
  Sean McAllister: It is no joke at all.
• 26:13
  Sean McAllister: If you're planning on coming out there, uh, I would suggest maybe uh skipping breakfast and skipping lunch, maybe even skipping dinner the night before.
• 26:24
  Sean McAllister: Come hungry because this burger is colossal.
• 26:29
  Sean McAllister: It looks delicious.
• 26:30
  Dayna Roselli: It really does.
• 26:31
  Dayna Roselli: We are having a meeting next week to talk about uh some of the things that we'll be doing that night, so we'll keep you posted.
• 26:36
  Dayna Roselli: But if you did want to come out and support and check out the new burger, Hard Rock Cafe on the Strip, right across from New York, New York.
• 26:44
  Dayna Roselli: New York, New York.
• 26:45
  Sean McAllister: Also, uh at Area 15, that is uh the complex of uh retail, food and beverage, experiential art installations, etc.
• 27:00
  Dayna Roselli: Neon games, yeah.
• 27:02
  Sean McAllister: Omega Mart is inside, and we've been over there for the podcast before.
• 27:07
  Sean McAllister: Uh it's the first anniversary of Omega Mart.
• 27:10
  Sean McAllister: It's a very uh difficult thing to explain.
• 27:13
  Dayna Roselli: It is.
• 27:14
  Sean McAllister: Sometimes we're like, uh, just go or but is it it is a uh feast for all of your senses.
• 27:23
  Dayna Roselli: It really is.
• 27:24
  Dayna Roselli: I'm glad they're doing well and they're still open, but kind of you know, and the tip, I guess, for folks that we wanted to pass along is hey, they're like Sean said, there are a lot of things going on at area 15.
• 27:35
  Dayna Roselli: If you haven't checked it out yet, it's actually right near the strip, it's not very far.
• 27:39
  Dayna Roselli: So if you're coming into Vegas or, you know, if obviously if you live here, they're just constantly adding new stuff there.
• 27:46
  Dayna Roselli: And in fact, we know already that they plan to expand because we know someone that had to move out of a strip mall there because they're gonna kind of like turn it into a parking lot.
• 27:56
  Dayna Roselli: Bulldoze it.
• 27:57
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, bulldoze it and turn it into a parking lot.
• 28:00
  Dayna Roselli: So um, there's a lot going on there, and they're always adding new things.
• 28:03
  Dayna Roselli: People that go always leave with great stories and say it's so much fun, they can't wait to go back.
• 28:09
  Dayna Roselli: So, Area 15, happy anniversary to Omega Mart, and then go check it out.
• 28:13
  Dayna Roselli: They just added this thing that goes in, you are trying to explain it to me.
• 28:16
  Dayna Roselli: That goes into the sky.
• 28:18
  Sean McAllister: Yes, it's really cool.
• 28:20
  Sean McAllister: So there's this metal structure, it almost looks like a DNA strand, and in the middle of it, there's this big white balloon, and attached to the balloon is this circular uh section of seats with a bar in the middle.
• 28:36
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my goodness.
• 28:37
  Sean McAllister: So you go, this attraction is called liftoff, it's a panoramic skyline experience.
• 28:43
  Sean McAllister: The balloon lifts all of the drinkers and riders up off the ground to get a really unique view of Las Vegas.
• 28:54
  Sean McAllister: You get to have a cocktail while you're up there.
• 28:56
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, so not bad.
• 28:58
  Dayna Roselli: See, I always see that one, that down downtown bar that you have to like pedal.
• 29:02
  Sean McAllister: Yes, that's that's fun too.
• 29:05
  Sean McAllister: I don't know.
• 29:05
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know what it's called, the pedal bar.
• 29:07
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, something like that.
• 29:07
  Dayna Roselli: And I always look at that and go, that'd be fun for like a hot two minutes until you get tired from pedaling.
• 29:13
  Sean McAllister: Well, you know what the secret is that there's enough other people on there that you can lift your feet up off the pedals.
• 29:18
  Dayna Roselli: But what if everyone does it?
• 29:20
  Sean McAllister: Well, I think they have a motor too.
• 29:22
  Dayna Roselli: Well, anyway, they're both fun, but I always thought I think I'd rather lift off than actually have to pedal.
• 29:27
  Dayna Roselli: So that's my type of experiential bar.
• 29:30
  Dayna Roselli: I gotta check that out over at Area 15.
• 29:32
  Sean McAllister: And hey, we want to give another quick thank you to our sponsor, Targeted Tax Relief.
