  Dayna Roselli: Welcome to Vegas Revealed.
• 0:47
  Dayna Roselli: I'm Dana Roselli, along with Sean McAllister, and happy birthday to you.
• 0:53
  Dayna Roselli: I'm talking about Las Vegas.
• 0:54
  Sean McAllister: Las Vegas, 120 years old.
• 0:57
  Dayna Roselli: Unreal, right?
• 0:58
  Sean McAllister: Crazy.
• 0:59
  Sean McAllister: Started as a little railroad town, and look what we've become.
• 1:02
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 1:02
  Dayna Roselli: There was a big celebration last week and a panel.
• 1:05
  Dayna Roselli: We've got some great interviews coming up.
• 1:07
  Dayna Roselli: Now, Sean, I always struggle with this.
• 1:10
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 1:10
  Dayna Roselli: When I talk about Las Vegas, even all through the years, it's hard because I want to say our city turned 120.
• 1:17
  Dayna Roselli: There's our town.
• 1:18
  Dayna Roselli: It's so hard because Las Vegas has an area that's the city of Las Vegas, but the strip isn't in the city.
• 1:25
  Dayna Roselli: It's in the county.
• 1:26
  Dayna Roselli: Then we have areas like Henderson, Summerlin, Paradise, Winchester, North Las Vegas.
• 1:34
  Dayna Roselli: But I mean, I think in general we just call the whole area Las Vegas.
• 1:38
  Dayna Roselli: But I never know because I get like how I should say, because I'm just, you know, we're stickers.
• 1:44
  Dayna Roselli: It's the journalists in us.
• 1:46
  Dayna Roselli: I always think like, is you know, did our city turn 120?
• 1:49
  Dayna Roselli: Did our town or maybe just Las Vegas turn 120?
• 1:52
  Dayna Roselli: And maybe that we just call it a day there.
• 1:53
  Sean McAllister: Well, the way I like to think of it is none of the rest of this would be here if that little plot of land down by the railroad tracks in downtown Las Vegas never was subdivided, sold at a land auction, and created a a little boom town here in the middle of the desert.
• 2:14
  Sean McAllister: So if it wasn't for that, we wouldn't have all the rest of what we see.
• 2:18
  Sean McAllister: So I say let's celebrate it for everything.
• 2:21
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, everything.
• 2:22
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, you're right, like the original, like people think the strip is, you know, you know, obviously there's downtown Las Vegas and there's the strip, and we're known for a lot of the times the strip, but it all started in downtown Las Vegas.
• 2:35
  Sean McAllister: Well, it did, and uh really the strip was kind of far away from downtown Las Vegas for a while.
• 2:41
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 2:42
  Sean McAllister: There was a big stretch of just open desert, and then boom, you would see the El Rancho or Flamingo.
• 2:50
  Sean McAllister: It was not uh as uh packed in as it is today by any means.
• 2:56
  Dayna Roselli: Well, the celebration was at the top of Circa at the Legacy Club.
• 2:59
  Dayna Roselli: It was great.
• 3:00
  Dayna Roselli: There was a panel of speakers, um there there were a lot of people there uh in the sports world as well to celebrate and talk about Las Vegas then and now, you know, and and Shelly Berkeley, the mayor, was there, Derek Stevens was on the panel, uh it was great.
• 3:16
  Dayna Roselli: Um Steve Hill was there, you know, the head of the LVC VA, and uh the folks over at the Neon Museum.
• 3:22
  Dayna Roselli: So it was a great discussion, and uh they did a little champagne toast, they had a fabulous cake.
• 3:28
  Sean McAllister: And I've gotta say, the view up there at Legacy Club could not have been any better for this event because you had a panoramic view looking out at the entire Las Vegas Valley, but over there at Circa, that's like right down there kind of at the the epicenter of where Las Vegas did start.
• 3:48
  Sean McAllister: So being in that plot of land up in the sky, looking out of what Las uh what Las Vegas has become was a pretty cool thing.
• 3:56
  Sean McAllister: And then hearing the perspectives of uh these uh leaders in our city who have done so much to bring Las Vegas to where it is now and their visions for the future.
• 4:07
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, really interesting.
• 4:08
  Dayna Roselli: And it it was good because it wasn't like too long, so we really got some good points out there.
• 4:13
  Dayna Roselli: We heard some great responses to certain questions that were thrown out.
• 4:18
  Dayna Roselli: We got to watch a little video which showed Vegas through the years, which is always so cool.
• 4:23
  Dayna Roselli: And like we talk about on the podcast all the time, you know, we are now a culinary destination.
• 4:29
  Dayna Roselli: We have, you know, we're a sports mecha.
• 4:31
  Dayna Roselli: We just, you know, we're an entertainment hub, obviously.
• 4:33
  Dayna Roselli: We're the mer, you know, the wedding capital of the world.
• 4:35
  Dayna Roselli: We have so much going on here.
• 4:38
  Dayna Roselli: And it was interesting to talk about how Las Vegas does keep evolving and what's next, like you just said.
• 4:46
  Dayna Roselli: And we got a chance to talk with Shelly Berkeley, who is the new mayor.
• 4:50
  Dayna Roselli: She took over for Carolyn Goodman, who turned out Shelly won the election.
• 4:54
  Dayna Roselli: And we've known Shelly through the years, but we haven't actually had an interview with Shelly, so we pulled her aside to chat.
• 5:00
  Dayna Roselli: What can we expect in the next five years in your in your eyes?
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_01: Well, just if you come up to the mayor's office and you're always welcome, if you look out one s one window that I have, this symphony park.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_01: It is extraordinary.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_01: None of that existed when I was a kid growing up.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_01: If you look out my other window, this Civic Plaza, we are creating uh an inner city plaza where we're gonna have concerts and festivals and um farmers markets, anything you can think of that makes a community worth living in.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_01: And then you can go beyond that.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_01: There's so much growth and development.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's my job, part of my job, to be promoting the city.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_01: So over the next five years, you're going to see extraordinary growth and development.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_01: We need more housing.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_01: Housing is going up all over town at a different amount, different levels of things.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_01: Um workforce housing, affordable housing, more upscale housing.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_01: That is happening because the need is there.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_01: And we're gonna be concentrating on things that our our citizens need.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_01: And frankly, I shouldn't expect from their city.
• 6:16
  Dayna Roselli: I always feel like over the years, like you think about 120 years, but Las Vegas has changed a lot, but it's also not unrecognizable.
• 6:24
  Dayna Roselli: When you look at the old clips, it's still very similar to today.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_01: Um look, this is still a small town, and even though we keep growing, I mean, it's a town where everybody knows each other.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_01: And like Aaron Berger, who's head of the Neon Museum, said, he's here four years, and he's a fixer in the community.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_01: This is a community where you can really make a mark, and you don't have to be here for a hundred years with your grandfather on a board, and your father served on, and now you served on.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_01: Oh no, we're all first generation people around here, and we're building a city for our children and our grandchildren to enjoy.
• 7:04
  Dayna Roselli: Did you ever see yourself being mayor a long time ago?
• 7:06
  Dayna Roselli: Was this a vision that you had, or just something from living here and going through the political arena that you thought?
• 7:12
  Dayna Roselli: I wanna do this.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_01: I always wanted to be in public service, and I've obviously had a number of elected jobs.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_01: This is the best one I've ever had.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_01: It is so much fun, it's so much work, but I wake up in the morning, I can't wait to get to City Hall.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_01: And uh it gives me tremendous pleasure to give something back to a community that has been so good to me and my family.
• 7:38
  Sean McAllister: I love Shelly's stories and also her vision for what she wants to accomplish during her term as mayor as well.
• 7:45
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I I like that.
• 7:46
  Dayna Roselli: And she can tell she's excited about Las Vegas, just like Carolyn Goodman.
• 7:51
  Sean McAllister: Yes.
• 7:51
  Dayna Roselli: You know what I mean?
• 7:52
  Dayna Roselli: Like there's a passion there.
• 7:54
  Dayna Roselli: There's a passion, yeah.
• 7:54
  Dayna Roselli: It's great.
• 7:55
  Sean McAllister: Someone else who has passion is Steve Hill, who is the president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
• 8:03
  Sean McAllister: Um, we talked to him about the future of Las Vegas and what this 120-year celebration means.
• 8:10
  Sean McAllister: We also got an update on the Vegas Loop, that underground tunnel system that's gonna move people around town and help out with congestion.
• 8:17
  Dayna Roselli: So give us an update on the Vegas Loop, where we're at now.
• 8:20
  Dayna Roselli: I know the Westgate opened, and then you said Encore open?
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we opened the Encore station uh and the tunnel connecting that station to the system at the convention center about four weeks ago.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, we are in the process right now of uh mining that second tunnel um to win an encore.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_00: Uh we have two machines in the ground coming up paradise from just north of the airport, and they'll be connected to several stations on paradise.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_00: Um, one that will allow a pretty easy walk over to the field, which will come in with my handy, and then it'll connect to the convention center and muscle.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: Several permits that are turned in to continue the expansion of the system, hope to receive those permits for the next couple of months and put some more machines in the dynamic gun.
• 9:09
  Dayna Roselli: Well, that's what I was gonna say.
• 9:10
  Dayna Roselli: We were just talking about what the next five years look like, and I feel like people always say there's more growth.
• 9:14
  Dayna Roselli: It's like how could it grow more?
• 9:16
  Dayna Roselli: But I mean, you're preparing for that.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_00: Well, we are, and you know, if you look at the streets right now, you're not gonna make limb on the surface for more colours.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_00: That's pretty well as big as those robes can be.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_00: So being able to give a damn, particularly in a system that doesn't cost the public any money other than when they ride it, um, it's free.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and that matters a lot, too.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: It's something we can actually afford to do, and it really starts to relieve congestion in the test of the street.
• 9:46
  Dayna Roselli: We're celebrating the 120th birthday.
• 9:48
  Dayna Roselli: Um, when you look back at just being here in this city, uh, what does today mean to you, or what do you reflect on?
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_00: Well, you know, I've been here almost 40 years.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_00: And in that period of time, we've gone from 600,000 people to nearly two and a half million.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_00: We have gone from, you know, a southwestern entertainment city to the global capital of sports and entertainment and meetings, where everybody in the world knows who Las Vegas is.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_00: It's a remarkable story in a short 120 years.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think there are very many cities who can even talk about the globe, level upon the spectacular reputation that our city has developed in such a short period of time.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_00: And it's because this whole community has come together to make that happen.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_00: It's not just the folks, it takes the folks who are investing the money in these humongous and beautiful properties, but it takes the entire community making it happen, our workforce, our elected officials, our agencies to clear the way and make it happen.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_00: And then to welcome our visitors and welcome them back and show them such hospitality.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_00: Um, no cities like that.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_00: When we leave, we notice it.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_00: And when we come back, and when our visitors come, they notice that too.
• 11:05
  Dayna Roselli: And even with all the sports, with WrestleMania here and then the golden, everything was going on, it just seems to continue, and then it was nice to hear some big cheers today when we mentioned the athletics and the Hays coming here.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_00: It is, it is.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_00: We're excited about having them here in 28.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_00: We're excited about that iconic ballpark that's going to be on the corner of such an important intersection in Las Vegas.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_00: Um, it's just the next big step in creating what we are here in Las Vegas.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: Um, we appreciate their commitment to the city.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but we again, the community has come together, the states come together to make that happen.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_00: There aren't many places in the in the country, a little in the world, that can do that.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_00: And we do it repetitively.
• 11:51
  Dayna Roselli: And I know there's always ups and downs and struggles.
• 11:53
  Dayna Roselli: We were just talking to someone who said, but Vegas is Vegas, and Vegas always knows how to market everything.
• 11:57
  Dayna Roselli: It's like people keep coming.
• 11:58
  Dayna Roselli: I was at the Fountain Blue last weekend, I did a staycation, it was packed.
• 12:01
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, we we're, you know, constantly finding ways to bring people in and in it.
• 12:07
  Dayna Roselli: I just feel like it's been that way since I've moved here 20 years ago.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_00: Well, and that's right.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_00: We we continue, people talk about us reinventing ourselves.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_00: What we do is create the next idea and add it to all the great ideas that people have had.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_00: And, you know, we learn as we go along, we adapt when we have to, we've been resilient through, you know, some real prices uh over the past 20 years or so.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but the city knows how to do that and bounces back faster than any place else.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_00: People need to be here.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_00: They don't just want to be here, they need their time in Las Vegas, and they miss it when they can't come.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_00: Um so all of those qualities have allowed Vegas to be who we are.
• 12:48
  Dayna Roselli: I bet people come up to you all the time and are like, wow, you're like the head of Las Vegas.
• 12:52
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it's gotta be such a cool job.
• 12:54
  Dayna Roselli: You must love your job.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_00: I have the best job in the state, and I have the easiest product in the world to sell.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_00: And so, yeah, it is a fantastic place to represent.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_00: There's no other product, let alone city.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_00: There's no other product in the world where all you have to do is just say the name and people's eyes light up.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_00: And this community has created that.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_00: It's uh it's a it's an honor uh to be a part of representing the city.
• 13:20
  Dayna Roselli: It's always great to talk to Steve.
• 13:22
  Dayna Roselli: He never hesitates on any of his answers.
• 13:24
  Dayna Roselli: He loves talking about Las Vegas, and I like him.
• 13:27
  Dayna Roselli: He's he's really straightforward and great to have conversations with.
• 13:30
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, like I just mentioned, when you go overseas or anywhere out of town, you say you're from Las Vegas, people immediately strike up conversation with you.
• 13:38
  Sean McAllister: It is a conversation starter, without a doubt.
• 13:40
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 13:41
  Sean McAllister: Uh someone else we heard from uh on the panel is Andrew Simon, who's the CEO of the Fremont Street Experience.
• 13:48
  Sean McAllister: And he made a point, and and afterward, both of us looked at each other and we were like, you know what?
• 13:54
  Sean McAllister: That's right.
• 13:55
  Sean McAllister: And he was actually talking about the security uh in downtown Las Vegas and uh specifically on the Fremont Street Experience and the surrounding areas.
• 14:04
  Sean McAllister: Um and just what a good job not only the Metro Police do, but there are city marshals and there are private security uh agencies uh that patrol those areas as well.
• 14:17
  Sean McAllister: And when we were thinking about it, we're like, you really don't hear about like the big major incidents.
• 14:24
  Sean McAllister: Incidents happening down there.
• 14:26
  Dayna Roselli: Uh it's so true, because I think that a lot of times when you look at social media, you'll see a fight broke out underneath the you know, Fremont Street canopy.
• 14:35
  Dayna Roselli: Like every now and then, and it makes it look like but the thing is, is like how many fights break out at the mall in a small town, you know, a bunch of teenagers or in a Taco Bell.
• 14:43
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 14:43
  Dayna Roselli: Um But that's the thing is when you really think about it, you know, it and what he was pointing out is people come to Las Vegas and they return to Las Vegas because we have second-to-none security.
• 14:58
  Dayna Roselli: And uh he said it's one of the safest places to be and have a good time.
• 15:02
  Dayna Roselli: And we were like, you know what, he's right.
• 15:04
  Dayna Roselli: Like Remont Street, you know, because there's like street performers and you know, and a lot of people.
• 15:11
  Dayna Roselli: A lot of people you think like, oh, it must be but really there it's been a very safe place through the years since I've been here and you've been here.
• 15:19
  Sean McAllister: Well, and even uh thinking about the uh summer concert series that they do down there under the canopy.
• 15:25
  Sean McAllister: I mean, they shut that up.
• 15:27
  Sean McAllister: They kind of put up barricades around and you need to you know go through checkpoints and everything.
• 15:32
  Sean McAllister: But people are hacked in for those concerts, and even for those to not have uh big disturbances break out is uh is an incredible thing.
• 15:43
  Sean McAllister: People are just there listening to the music, having a good time, and that's what we like to see.
• 15:50
  Sean McAllister: That's what we want the world to experience right here in Las Vegas.
• 15:54
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so if you're thinking of coming to Las Vegas, keep that top of mind.
• 15:58
  Dayna Roselli: Because sometimes, you know, we just get used to run-of-the-mill days here, blah blah blah.
• 16:02
  Dayna Roselli: But then when he said that, we were like, you know, it is a really safe place, and that it is an added bonus, especially these days.
• 16:08
  Dayna Roselli: It is, you know, extra eyes, extra ears, uh people out there and on it and he said there's a lot of great things to come.
• 16:15
  Dayna Roselli: Uh he's they're always thinking of new things for the Fremont Street Canopy, which is uh he's right, unlike any other in I don't know who who even has that anywhere across the United States.
• 16:25
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know.
• 16:25
  Sean McAllister: I don't even know.
• 16:27
  Sean McAllister: I don't I don't know that there is one, but he said that they are constantly uh upgrading it.
• 16:32
  Sean McAllister: It's not going away.
• 16:34
  Sean McAllister: The Viva Vision canopy, and it sounds like they might start having uh viewing events for big whether it's a sporting event or whatever, the that you know, viewing parties might happen underneath the canopy there too.
• 16:48
  Sean McAllister: Which I know on New Year's Eve they'll put uh some of the local news broadcasts up there with live pictures of the fireworks and so it it's been done before, but it sounds like they have plans to take it a few steps further.
• 17:01
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 17:02
  Dayna Roselli: That'll be good.
• 17:02
  Dayna Roselli: That'll be really good.
• 17:03
  Dayna Roselli: It's always a really cool thing.
• 17:04
  Dayna Roselli: I like to see what they do there.
• 17:06
  Dayna Roselli: Um, hey, uh after that we went down the road to stayed in downtown Las Vegas, but we went to a grand opening party for a restaurant that we've talked about before.
• 17:15
  Dayna Roselli: It's called Barb.
• 17:17
  Dayna Roselli: It's James Tree's new restaurant.
• 17:19
  Dayna Roselli: So we won't get in depth because we've already talked about that.
• 17:22
  Dayna Roselli: But a funny thing happened that Sean and I wanted to share because we we interview a lot of people, we see a lot of people, we have seen a lot of celebrities, we've interviewed a lot of celebrities.
• 17:35
  Dayna Roselli: But you and I were at this party and it wasn't overly huge, you know, it was invited guests and we're there and we're sitting down, and you're like, is that Aunt Becky?
• 17:44
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm like and I immediately knew who you were talking about.
• 17:48
  Sean McAllister: Like it wasn't even I didn't need to explain.
• 17:51
  Sean McAllister: I was like, Oh my gosh, that's Aunt Becky.
• 17:53
  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, Where?
• 17:54
  Dayna Roselli: I immediately like to try, but it's funny because um she was there, friends of friends, or whatever.
• 18:01
  Dayna Roselli: And so, like, in that setting, when you're at a private party, you know, you don't want to go up and do a whole interview and do all that, right?
• 18:09
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 18:10
  Dayna Roselli: Um, we also aren't the type to be like, Wanna take a selfie?
• 18:13
  Dayna Roselli: That's not us.
• 18:14
  Dayna Roselli: We weren't kind of brought up that way in our field.
• 18:17
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I know today the the reporters and anchors do that out in the field, but it always feels odd to be.
• 18:22
  Sean McAllister: But she was there.
• 18:23
  Sean McAllister: Lori Laughlin is Aunt Becky's real name.
• 18:25
  Dayna Roselli: Oh yeah.
• 18:28
  Sean McAllister: But she was there as an invited guest, having fun with her group of people.
• 18:32
  Sean McAllister: So we weren't gonna ruin the ruin the vibe.
• 18:36
  Dayna Roselli: But it was funny to see us get a little giddy over it.
• 18:39
  Dayna Roselli: That's what I'm laughing at.
• 18:40
  Dayna Roselli: Because I was like, oh, I gotta sneak a little video of Aunt Becky, you know, of Lori.
• 18:44
  Dayna Roselli: Uh Lori looked amazing, by the way.
• 18:47
  Dayna Roselli: Fantastic.
• 18:47
  Dayna Roselli: I was like, wow, stunning.
• 18:49
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, I mean, who didn't watch Full House or the reruns or whatever?
• 18:53
  Sean McAllister: G G I F on ABC.
• 18:54
  Sean McAllister: That's always so good.
• 18:56
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, it was good to see her there, and it was just a funny little moment that we had um, you know, at the at the party.
• 19:05
  Dayna Roselli: Great party, tons of great drinks, food, uh got to talk with so many people we hadn't seen in a while.
• 19:11
  Dayna Roselli: It was great.
• 19:12
  Sean McAllister: And I think it just goes to show also that you never know who you're going to see at a Las Vegas event.
• 19:18
  Dayna Roselli: True.
• 19:19
  Dayna Roselli: Absolutely.
• 19:20
  Dayna Roselli: And I love the downtown vibe lately.
• 19:21
  Dayna Roselli: We left there going, you know what?
• 19:23
  Dayna Roselli: We walked to our car, it was a beautiful night.
• 19:25
  Dayna Roselli: It was great, right?
• 19:26
  Sean McAllister: They have done such a great job, especially down there in the arts district, of uh I mean the streets, they've done a great job of uh in reworking the streets and making them nicer.
• 19:40
  Sean McAllister: Uh the properties down there have uh I mean I feel like when one property uh makes upgrades, it kind of encourages other properties uh to do the same.
• 19:52
  Sean McAllister: And that that domino effect has been happening and the arts district really is uh a nice place to go and hang out.
• 20:01
  Sean McAllister: There's you know, right on Main Street, there's the the string lights that go across the street, and you have those lit up at night, and there's outdoor patios, and there's people walking around with their coffee and walking their dogs.
• 20:15
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 20:16
  Dayna Roselli: So cute boutiques there, there's antique shops you can find old Vegas items.
• 20:21
  Dayna Roselli: There's a lot of secondhand stores there where people, you know, uh there are uh you know bars, restaurants, bar, breweries, you name it.
• 20:31
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, Carolyn Goodman, our former mayor and Oscar Goodman really believed in beefing up that area and they've laid the groundwork there.
• 20:39
  Dayna Roselli: Shelly said she's gonna keep going.
• 20:40
  Dayna Roselli: So I I like that.
• 20:42
  Dayna Roselli: Um Mayor Berkeley.
• 20:44
  Dayna Roselli: I shouldn't just call her Shelly.
• 20:45
  Dayna Roselli: I feel like I'm uh I've known her for so long.
• 20:48
  Dayna Roselli: Gotta give her the official title now.
• 20:50
  Dayna Roselli: My mom said to me, Is Shelly Berkeley the one on Hacks?
• 20:53
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm like, no.
• 20:55
  Dayna Roselli: The the just to be clear for anyone who's watching the TV show Hacks on Max, which is phenomenal and has a lot of Vegas ties.
• 21:05
  Dayna Roselli: There's the they have a mayor on there, but is it is an actress and it is a play off of it's not and it's a fictional storyline, too.
• 21:14
  Dayna Roselli: It's a fictional storyline.
• 21:15
  Sean McAllister: You'll have to watch hacks to know what we're talking about.
• 21:18
  Sean McAllister: We're not gonna get into it here.
• 21:20
  Dayna Roselli: No, we're not gonna get into it here.
• 21:22
  Dayna Roselli: All right.
• 21:23
  Dayna Roselli: Well, listen, people love the Rise Festival.
• 21:25
  Dayna Roselli: This is something I see every year and go, I need to go, I need to go.
• 21:28
  Dayna Roselli: Have you ever been?
• 21:29
  Dayna Roselli: I feel like you went once.
• 21:30
  Sean McAllister: You know what?
• 21:30
  Sean McAllister: I've never been to uh specifically the Rise Festival, but I've been to other uh lantern festivals that have happened in the desert outside of Las Vegas.
• 21:43
  Sean McAllister: Um and they it really is such uh it's a fun, unique thing to do.
• 21:48
  Dayna Roselli: It looks it.
• 21:49
  Sean McAllister: And it's beautiful when the lanterns go up in the sky.
• 21:52
  Sean McAllister: It's just sensational.
• 21:54
  Sean McAllister: I do have a tip at the end of this, though, if you are going out there.
• 21:57
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 21:58
  Dayna Roselli: Well, this is the tenth anniversary of the Festival.
• 22:00
  Dayna Roselli: And if you don't know what that is, it's the world's largest sky lantern festival.
• 22:05
  Dayna Roselli: And it's out there in the Mojave Desert.
• 22:07
  Dayna Roselli: So this is quite a scene and quite a moment.
• 22:12
  Dayna Roselli: Every year it's like fingers crossed that the weather's going to be good and everything's going to be, you know, go in in order and how it's supposed to, because people they do their lantern and they make wishes and hopes and dreams and honor people and they let the lantern free.
• 22:26
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so it's known for uh this fusion of light, music, human connection.
• 22:32
  Dayna Roselli: And this year, like I said, they're celebrating uh 10 years and they've got quite a lineup of musical artists across three nights.
• 22:39
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I was really excited to see that they were putting such an emphasis on having uh live artists out there.
• 22:47
  Sean McAllister: I mean, they always have music in some some fashion, but it's the first time that I remember them having like a roster of headliners performing at the festival.
• 22:58
  Dayna Roselli: Uh that me too, but I don't know for sure, but I I don't remember.
• 23:04
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, uh but never to the of the caliber of artists that they have for this 10-year anniversary.
• 23:11
  Sean McAllister: And we're talking global music icons, Rufus Del Sol, Kelvin Harris, and John Mayer, who are all performing on the roster at the Rise Lantern Festival for this to celebrate a decade of the festival.
• 23:25
  Dayna Roselli: It's gonna be great.
• 23:26
  Dayna Roselli: And then with that, they've got a whole other roster of artists too that are gonna be there uh spanning electronic music, indie folk, experimental genres.
• 23:37
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, I wonder what that is.
• 23:39
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but all of that happening over these three days, it sounds like it's gonna be spectacular.
• 23:44
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it really does.
• 23:45
  Dayna Roselli: And this is more up my alley.
• 23:47
  Dayna Roselli: I'm not a burning man girl.
• 23:49
  Sean McAllister: No, and this is super chill.
• 23:51
  Sean McAllister: I I would suggest if you are going, like bring a blanket or something to lay on the ground so you can sit, have your own space.
• 24:01
  Sean McAllister: If you have some like collapsible chairs that you can throw over your shoulder and bring out there, even better.
• 24:08
  Sean McAllister: Um, also, when you're lighting your lantern, it can get tricky.
• 24:13
  Sean McAllister: So you have to one person like holds the actual lantern while another person lights it.
• 24:19
  Sean McAllister: Oh.
• 24:20
  Sean McAllister: But you can't let it go immediately.
• 24:22
  Sean McAllister: Okay.
• 24:22
  Sean McAllister: You have to wait until the hot air fills your lantern and you feel it almost like tugging like it wants to take off.
• 24:31
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 24:32
  Sean McAllister: And then hold it for a few more seconds, and then still holding on to it, lift it above your head.
• 24:38
  Sean McAllister: Oh boy, and then let it take off.
• 24:39
  Sean McAllister: Because I can't tell you the number of times I saw someone let their lantern go early, and it would just like it would go just high enough to like bonk people in the head as it was trying to get up in the air.
• 24:52
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 24:53
  Dayna Roselli: You're sitting there feeling all spiritual, and then you're like bonks.
• 24:56
  Sean McAllister: And I'm like, ah, a flame is flying at me.
• 24:59
  Sean McAllister: Careful.
• 25:00
  Sean McAllister: So, yes, hold on to your lantern longer than you think you need to, and then it'll shoot right up in the air.
• 25:06
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, good tip.
• 25:08
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, tickets are already on sale.
• 25:10
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, they went on sale May 16th.
• 25:12
  Dayna Roselli: Go to Risefestival.com and secure your ticket.
• 25:17
  Dayna Roselli: We'll have to look after this to see um how it's going because uh you know I might want to buy a ticket.
• 25:24
  Dayna Roselli: It's in October, by the way.
• 25:25
  Dayna Roselli: We didn't say that.
• 25:26
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and it's uh it usually sells out.
• 25:28
  Sean McAllister: So you do need to make plans and get on it if you're planning to go.
• 25:33
  Sean McAllister: Something else that sells out is BravoCon.
• 25:35
  Sean McAllister: Returning here to Las Vegas for the second year.
• 25:38
  Sean McAllister: Uh last year, people went absolutely bonkers about BravoCon.
• 25:43
  Dayna Roselli: And that's a thing.
• 25:44
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, you just gotta have everything in Vegas because then you'll have it again.
• 25:47
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 25:48
  Dayna Roselli: Because it's so good.
• 25:49
  Dayna Roselli: We just host events like this, you know.
• 25:52
  Dayna Roselli: This is up our alley.
• 25:54
  Dayna Roselli: People love BravoCon.
• 25:56
  Dayna Roselli: Uh this year it's November 14th to the 16th.
• 25:59
  Dayna Roselli: They are back for Bravo Con 2025.
• 26:02
  Dayna Roselli: I don't watch Bravo a lot.
• 26:04
  Dayna Roselli: I know you watch it more often, and I was looking at all the lingo.
• 26:07
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 26:08
  Dayna Roselli: You gotta be a what, a Bravo holic?
• 26:10
  Dayna Roselli: There's Bravo Lebs.
• 26:11
  Dayna Roselli: Bravo Lebrities, yeah.
• 26:13
  Sean McAllister: The Bravo Bravo Lebrities that you see on a lot of the reality shows, the Real Housewives, Below Deck, yeah, all that.
• 26:21
  Sean McAllister: So there's like more than series.
• 26:24
  Dayna Roselli: There's more than 75 events planned.
• 26:27
  Dayna Roselli: So um, if you love these shows, you need to come.
• 26:32
  Dayna Roselli: I have friends at home that were like, oh my gosh, I would be in heaven.
• 26:35
  Dayna Roselli: I want to go so bad.
• 26:36
  Dayna Roselli: So you just pop around to different things and it's all the Bravo liberties.
• 26:40
  Sean McAllister: So basically, imagine uh, you know how at the end of, for example, a real housewives season, Andy Cohen sits down and does a reunion show.
• 26:49
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 26:49
  Sean McAllister: Where the cast members come together, they dish about all the stuff that went on all season long.
• 26:55
  Sean McAllister: Well, they do live panel essentially live uh reunion shows on stage during BravoCon, but it's but they mix different cast members together.
• 27:09
  Sean McAllister: So you're hearing dish about the different shows, you're hearing, I mean, sometimes it can get catty, sometimes there are funny moments, there are big revelations about relationships that are going on that have have bubbled up since filming stopped.
• 27:27
  Sean McAllister: So people who are online on social media following their Bravo liberties and staying up to date on on what's going on in their lives and all the drama.
• 27:37
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 27:37
  Dayna Roselli: I always see all this drama.
• 27:40
  Dayna Roselli: That's what it that's what it's about, really, right?
• 27:42
  Sean McAllister: That's what it's about.
• 27:43
  Sean McAllister: People just love the drama.
• 27:45
  Dayna Roselli: Well, we're glad they're returning to Vegas.
• 27:47
  Dayna Roselli: It makes sense.
• 27:48
  Dayna Roselli: We have so much here, and it just seems like the Bravo liberties would would really live it up.
• 27:53
  Dayna Roselli: And the people and the people too, right?
• 27:55
  Dayna Roselli: That are coming.
• 27:56
  Dayna Roselli: So tickets available, uh, not until June 6th.

• 28:08
  Dayna Roselli: And good luck because last year, what it sold out quick.
• 28:12
  Sean McAllister: It sold out really quick, like it within minutes.
• 28:15
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 28:15
  Sean McAllister: So yeah, get on it if you want to get in on BravoCon.
• 28:20
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, we're getting ready for the American Music Awards.
• 28:22
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, we won't go in depth here because we'll have some coverage next week, but uh, it's at the Fountain Blue this year, first time.
• 28:28
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, there's a big red carpet planned.
• 28:30
  Dayna Roselli: It's inside the Fountain Blue.
• 28:32
  Dayna Roselli: The show is gonna be live from the Fountain Blue.
• 28:34
  Dayna Roselli: It's hosted by Jennifer Lopez, but we did get a rundown of people that we can definitely expect to be there.
• 28:40
  Dayna Roselli: And so we wanted to let you know Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, Benson Boone, Gloria Estefan, Janet Jackson, Sir Rod Stewart, Renee Rapp, Laney Wilson.
• 28:52
  Sean McAllister: Uh, so it's gonna be a good time.

• 29:00
  Sean McAllister: That's cool.
• 29:01
  Sean McAllister: Uh Janet Jackson receiving the Icon Award.
• 29:05
  Sean McAllister: And by the way, she's doing her residency shows at the same time that the award show is happening, so you can see her.
• 29:11
  Sean McAllister: Get the award, then pop over to her show.
• 29:13
  Sean McAllister: Uh, but it's gonna be uh a great night over at Fountain Blue.

  Sean McAllister: These are fan voted awards.
• 29:21
  Sean McAllister: So uh then there's a tie-in with the Easy Day Foundation, yeah, which is based here in Las Vegas, too, to uh really help military members transition into civilian life.

  Sean McAllister: So lots of different angles.
• 29:33
  Sean McAllister: We're excited to be there on the red carpet and uh backstage to see all the stuff that goes on and share it with you.
• 29:40
  Dayna Roselli: It'll be exciting.
• 29:41

• 29:49
  Dayna Roselli: Monday, Memorial Day.
• 29:51
  Dayna Roselli: That's May 26th.
• 29:54
  Dayna Roselli: All right, let's do some tips.
• 29:59
  Dayna Roselli: Sean, you and I always talk about RPM at the forum shops, how we went there when it opened, we went to the opening party, it was fabulous.
• 30:06
  Dayna Roselli: We met someone for a drink there shortly after, but we haven't really like sat down and had a meal now.
• 30:12
  Dayna Roselli: And then you said, Well, no, I did.
• 30:13
  Dayna Roselli: My sister was in town, but it was still a while ago, and I had never gone back for a dinner, so I met a friend um at RPM, and I just wanted to give some tips.
• 30:24
  Sean McAllister: Okay.
• 30:24
  Dayna Roselli: But um, it's a great restaurant, it's Italian.
• 30:28
  Dayna Roselli: Bill and Giuliana Rancick run it, own it.
• 30:30
  Sean McAllister: Beautiful, beautiful restaurant.
• 30:32
  Sean McAllister: Uh, it's on the ground floor of the forum shops over at Caesars Palace.
• 30:38
  Sean McAllister: If you're uh walking in from the strip, the entrance that is kind of over uh by where the mirage used to be, uh if you walk in that entrance, uh you'll see True Food Kitchen to the left, and to the right is RPM.
• 30:53
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 30:54
  Dayna Roselli: So Sean, first of all, while I waited for my friend at the bar, yes, I was like, should I have a martini?
• 31:01
  Dayna Roselli: Should you?
• 31:02
  Sean McAllister: Okay, you should never have to ask yourself that question.
• 31:06
  Dayna Roselli: Well, I've been trying to like, you know, it's been a rough year, so I feel like I've been drinking a lot of wine and having a lot of martinis.
• 31:11
  Dayna Roselli: So I was thinking try and cut down.
• 31:14
  Sean McAllister: Sometimes that happens.
• 31:16
  Dayna Roselli: Well, anyway, I had a dirty martini, like I usually do with Tito's.
• 31:19
  Sean McAllister: I'm proud of you.
• 31:20
  Dayna Roselli: And he said, Do you want blue cheese olives?
• 31:23
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 31:23
  Dayna Roselli: Not only were the blue cheese olives amazing and stuffed, like big and juicy, he put three of them on the toothpick.
• 31:32
  Sean McAllister: That's like an appetizer right there.
• 31:35
  Dayna Roselli: So what a fabulous martini.
• 31:36
  Dayna Roselli: I just want to say if you're looking for a dirty martini or a regular martini with blue cheese olives, they put three plump and juicy ones right there on the stick.
• 31:46
  Dayna Roselli: So it was a great martini.
• 31:48
  Sean McAllister: Is that the brand, Plump and Juicy?
• 31:50
  Dayna Roselli: They should make one called Plump and Juicy.
• 31:53
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, we had a great meal.
• 31:54
  Dayna Roselli: We had some octopus, which was great.
• 31:57
  Dayna Roselli: We had the Brussels sprout salad.
• 32:00
  Dayna Roselli: That was fabulous.
• 32:01
  Dayna Roselli: I had a pasta dish.
• 32:02
  Dayna Roselli: What did I have?
• 32:03
  Sean McAllister: I had uh Bucatini.
• 32:05
  Dayna Roselli: I had the linguini and shrimp.
• 32:07
  Dayna Roselli: It was amazing.
• 32:09
  Dayna Roselli: Um, my friend Anthony had like a chicken.
• 32:12
  Dayna Roselli: It was a it was a really good.
• 32:14
  Dayna Roselli: I can't remember exactly, but we loved everything.
• 32:16
  Dayna Roselli: But the tip was the martini.
• 32:18
  Dayna Roselli: And then also I wanted everyone to know during the week, they have happy hour from 3 to 5 p.m.
• 32:25
  Dayna Roselli: There are$8 appetizers, cocktails, and wine, and$5 beers.
• 32:30
  Dayna Roselli: So FYI, three to five.
• 32:32
  Dayna Roselli: If you want to like do a happy hour before dinner or do a happy hour before you're about to go to a show, this could be the place for you.
• 32:42
  Sean McAllister: Or do happy hour before you go to bed.
• 32:45
  Dayna Roselli: Whatever works out.
• 32:46
  Sean McAllister: If you have an early bedtime.
• 32:48
  Sean McAllister: I know.
• 32:48
  Dayna Roselli: Actually, this would be great for me in my old shift when I used to get out at 12 30 p.m.
• 32:52
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 32:53
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 32:54
  Sean McAllister: But these are great prices.
• 32:56
  Sean McAllister: Are you kidding me?
• 32:57
  Sean McAllister: Eight dollars for appetizers, cocktails, and wine.
• 33:00
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and this is a good place.
• 33:02
  Dayna Roselli: So the food's great.
• 33:03
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, yeah.
• 33:03
  Dayna Roselli: The drinks go.
• 33:04
  Dayna Roselli: So excellent.
• 33:05
  Dayna Roselli: And then listen to this one Monday through Friday, they have a$35 prefix lunch.
• 33:10
  Dayna Roselli: And so great option as well.
• 33:13
  Dayna Roselli: Like you get like an appetizer, you get your main meal, you get a dessert.
• 33:17
  Dayna Roselli: So another great deal.
• 33:18
  Dayna Roselli: So RPM, and I feel like it's great that they have this because no matter how good a restaurant is in Las Vegas, we do have a lot of them.
• 33:26
  Dayna Roselli: And a lot of them you have to find.
• 33:29
  Dayna Roselli: If you aren't at the forum shops or you're not walking by, you might not know it's there.
• 33:33
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, it requires foot traffic.
• 33:35
  Dayna Roselli: And it's kind of in that area where it's at the end of the forum shops.
• 33:39
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 33:39
  Dayna Roselli: In that circle.
• 33:41
  Dayna Roselli: So I think it's great that they have some specials like this to kind of bring people in.
• 33:45
  Dayna Roselli: And I think people should know about them.
• 33:46
  Sean McAllister: They absolutely should.
• 33:48
  Sean McAllister: So RPM, make sure to put that on your list.
• 33:53
  Sean McAllister: It is a destination restaurant over there at the forum shops.
• 33:56
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 33:56
  Dayna Roselli: And you can always text us in our show notes.
• 33:58
  Dayna Roselli: So if you go there and you get the martini with the three blue cheese olives, or if they try and give you two, say Dana Roselli said you get three.
• 34:06
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, I got three and I ordered, I'll admit I ordered two.
• 34:09
  Dayna Roselli: I had one with dinner too.
• 34:11
  Dayna Roselli: Both times it came with three.
• 34:12
  Dayna Roselli: So hopefully.
• 34:13
  Sean McAllister: So it's not just the Vegas Revealed special?
• 34:16
  Dayna Roselli: I don't think so.
• 34:16
  Sean McAllister: Okay.
• 34:17
  Dayna Roselli: All right.
• 34:18
  Sean McAllister: Hey, uh, another event that we wanted to let you know about is this rib cook-off that's happening down on the Link Promenade.
• 34:25
  Sean McAllister: Uh, that's situated there between the Link Hotel and Flamingo.
• 34:30
  Sean McAllister: You know, it's on your way down, you see the high roller over there, too.
• 34:34
  Sean McAllister: Uh, they're doing a big rib cook-off.
• 34:36
  Sean McAllister: It's open to the public, and public voting is a part of this too, which is kind of a fun, interactive thing.
• 34:44
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, this is open to the public, and they're gonna have like live barbecue battles, music, uh, celebrities will be there.
• 34:51
  Dayna Roselli: So this could be really fun.
• 34:52
  Dayna Roselli: If you're in Las Vegas on Thursday, May 29th, it's taking place from 5 p.m.
• 34:58
  Dayna Roselli: to 8 p.m.
• 34:59
  Dayna Roselli: And I think this sounds great.
• 35:01
  Dayna Roselli: Like you said, the live voting makes it really fun.
• 35:03
  Sean McAllister: Well, and they have screens where they're gonna keep tallies of the live votes uh as they take place, and then the rib cook-off culminates with the awarding of the barbecue belt.
• 35:15
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 35:16
  Sean McAllister: They're doing a crowning ceremony for the winner.
• 35:20
  Sean McAllister: So make sure to feed your appetite, get your votes in, and help crown that winner.
• 35:26
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, because look at all the things they have.
• 35:28
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 35:29
  Dayna Roselli: Like not only that, it's so it's at Virgil's Real Barbecue, right there at the Link Promenade.
• 35:33
  Dayna Roselli: So the live rib cook-off is happening, and then the live voting, like you said, and like you said, the belt.
• 35:41
  Dayna Roselli: But then they're also having uh photo opportunities on the downstairs patio, gin and juice lowriders on display, whatever that is, live entertainment.
• 35:54
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, they're gonna have a country band, a DJ, dancers on stage, right over uh near the link fountain above it, and then activations like turf, uh games, a chill zone.
• 36:05
  Dayna Roselli: So this is really fun.
• 36:06
  Sean McAllister: Well, the gin and juice lowriders.
• 36:08
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, I know you were dying to tell me what it is.
• 36:10
  Dayna Roselli: What is it?
• 36:10
  Sean McAllister: That's a tie-in with uh Dr.
• 36:12
  Sean McAllister: Dre and Snoop's line of gin and juice seltzers.
• 36:16
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, okay.
• 36:18
  Sean McAllister: So their seltzers are gonna be cracked open.
• 36:21
  Sean McAllister: You have the lowriders out there.
• 36:23
  Dayna Roselli: And we have an event that night and we can't go to this, but man, this sounds like a lot of things.
• 36:27
  Sean McAllister: It sounds really fun.
• 36:28
  Dayna Roselli: It does.
• 36:29
  Sean McAllister: And by the way, that Link Promenade, uh, they have Misters out there when it gets warm, and it's a it's a fun spot.
• 36:37
  Sean McAllister: They have a lot down there.
• 36:39
  Sean McAllister: They have some really interesting shops.
• 36:41
  Sean McAllister: They have a hat shop.
• 36:43
  Sean McAllister: They'll, you know, customize a hat for you.
• 36:46
  Sean McAllister: There's uh suites.
• 36:48
  Sean McAllister: Brooklyn Bowl.
• 36:49
  Sean McAllister: Brooklyn Bowl is down there.
• 36:51
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it's a really good combination of dining, retail, activities.
• 36:58
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 36:59
  Dayna Roselli: Really good.
• 36:59
  Dayna Roselli: But hey, by the way, just because we've talked about the link recently when we were talking about the Chippendales moving there.
• 37:05
  Dayna Roselli: And just I guess this is a tip.
• 37:07
  Dayna Roselli: Don't go to the link to see the Chippendales because they're not there anymore.
• 37:10
  Sean McAllister: No, they're moving.
• 37:10
  Dayna Roselli: But they are moving to Planet Hollywood, and I think this will be a great fit for them.
• 37:14
  Dayna Roselli: They said, you know, I think they needed a place kind of in between until they found their maybe their permanent spot because they moved, they were at the Rio for so long.
• 37:22
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 37:22
  Dayna Roselli: So uh they did the link, um, but they were sharing a theater with Matt Franco.
• 37:27
  Dayna Roselli: And I know there were some challenges there with uh, you know, getting one show done and having to break down for the other because they wanted to do meet and greets and photos, and then having two shows a night didn't work.
• 37:38
  Dayna Roselli: So I think now they have found a solution for that.
• 37:41
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 37:41
  Sean McAllister: And so they're they're taking over the Sin City Theater at Planet Hollywood, which is up on the mezzanine level, if you're familiar with it.
• 37:49
  Sean McAllister: It's kind of across from uh the Chris Angel Theater, up on the second floor there.
• 37:54
  Sean McAllister: Um, and they'll be able to just make that space their own.
• 37:58
  Sean McAllister: They'll be able to, you know, like over at the Rio, they had the flirt lounge.
• 38:02
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 38:03
  Sean McAllister: You know, where people would come and hang out before and after shows, and the guys would come out and mingle.
• 38:08
  Sean McAllister: And now they'll be able to do that too without the time constraints of having to, you know, flip shows around.
• 38:15
  Sean McAllister: Obviously, they'll still need to flip the shows around, but um sometimes sometimes they also do some flips.
• 38:21
  Sean McAllister: Sometimes they do flips.
• 38:23
  Sean McAllister: That is true.
• 38:24
  Dayna Roselli: Shirtless flips.
• 38:28
  Dayna Roselli: Listen, the Chippendale, you have to have a Chippendale show in Las Vegas.
• 38:32
  Dayna Roselli: You do.
• 38:32
  Dayna Roselli: So, you know, go see them, go support the show because they they were at the Rio for so long.
• 38:38
  Dayna Roselli: When you are in a groove like they were, I mean, you don't know any different.
• 38:43
  Dayna Roselli: So it's adjustments can be tough.
• 38:45
  Sean McAllister: That's right.
• 38:45
  Sean McAllister: So July 3rd is when they open over at the new Chippendale Theater inside Planet Hollywood.
• 38:51
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, good.
• 38:52
  Dayna Roselli: Well, then you can go on Fourth of July.
• 38:53
  Dayna Roselli: America.
• 38:54
  Sean McAllister: There we go.
• 38:55
  Dayna Roselli: Chippendale's.
• 38:56
