• 0:45
  Dayna Roselli: I feel like I can say season seven a couple more times before we put it to rest because I'm just so proud of being in our seventh season.
• 0:52
  Dayna Roselli: Dana Roselli here, Sean McAllister.
• 0:55
  Sean McAllister: And uh, I'm proud too.
• 0:56

• 0:58
  Dayna Roselli: Well, listen, we have been so busy, you guys.
• 1:01
  Dayna Roselli: We have been gathering content.
• 1:03
  Dayna Roselli: Now, after the holidays, we realized, okay, we got a lot of stuff to go out and get for the TV show.
• 1:08
  Dayna Roselli: So, I mean, from restaurant openings to shows, uh, to checking out some afternoon shows because we're gonna do a TV show that focuses on afternoon Vegas shows.
• 1:18
  Dayna Roselli: We've had a lot of fun.
• 1:20
  Dayna Roselli: We're gonna have a lot of that stuff coming up on future episodes, but we did go visit Big Elvis over at Hera's.
• 1:26
  Sean McAllister: And let me tell you, that was slammed.
• 1:29
  Sean McAllister: It was we went over there on a Friday afternoon, and not only was the venue packed, but people were so into the show.
• 1:39
  Sean McAllister: They were like taking part and so excited to be there.
• 1:42
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I mean, it really was lovely to see.
• 1:44
  Dayna Roselli: They were dancing on the dance floor, slow dancing when he sang Love Me Tender.
• 1:49
  Dayna Roselli: Uh Pete Valley is great.
• 1:50
  Dayna Roselli: We can't wait to share our interview with him in a future episode because he really is iconic here in Vegas.
• 1:56
  Dayna Roselli: He was over at Barbary Coast before that closed.
• 1:59
  Dayna Roselli: And um, he does a lot of shows at Hara's several times a day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Mondays, and they're free.
• 2:06
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and he has fans from around the world who make it a point to come to see his show when they're in town.
• 2:13
  Sean McAllister: So, I mean, Pete Big Elvis, he brings him in.
• 2:18
  Dayna Roselli: He does bring him in.
• 2:19
  Dayna Roselli: His voice is great.
• 2:20
  Dayna Roselli: We also went over to Popovich Pet Comedy over at the V Theater at Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood, another popular show that's at 2:30 in the afternoon, like five days a week.
• 2:30
  Dayna Roselli: We're gonna tell you about that.
• 2:32
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but we did also hit up Egg Slut.
• 2:34
  Dayna Roselli: And yes, you heard that right because a lot of people keep questioning on our TikTok.
• 2:39
  Dayna Roselli: Like, wait, did I hear that right?
• 2:41
  Dayna Roselli: Did you say egg slot?
• 2:42
  Dayna Roselli: That's the name of the breakfast place.
• 2:45
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, it's very popular out of the Los Angeles area.
• 2:48
  Dayna Roselli: We have one at Cosmopolitan, and now we have one at the Rio.
• 2:51
  Sean McAllister: And it's uh a really convenient location at the Rio, too.
• 2:54
  Sean McAllister: It's right off of the front lobby there.
• 2:56
  Sean McAllister: I now I will say when you go to the one in Cosmopolitan, like you do have to pull in, go to the parking garage.
• 3:03
  Sean McAllister: It can be a little difficult to get to, but Rio made it easy.
• 3:07
  Sean McAllister: It's right inside the front door.
• 3:09
  Sean McAllister: They have surface parking, so you can walk right in.
• 3:11
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and I guess the difference would be like if you were probably going to the one in the cosmopolitan, you're either staying there or you're doing your walk on the strip.
• 3:18
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 3:18
  Dayna Roselli: You're visiting.
• 3:19
  Dayna Roselli: But I think Rio is probably more accessible for locals.
• 3:23
  Dayna Roselli: For locals, yeah.
• 3:23
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, too.
• 3:24
  Sean McAllister: So I am a sucker for a good breakfast sandwich, and their sandwiches were so good.
• 3:30
  Dayna Roselli: We had one and a half each.
• 3:31
  Sean McAllister: We did.
• 3:32
  Sean McAllister: We had the bacon, egg, and cheese, which was delicious.
• 3:35
  Sean McAllister: I love that one.
• 3:36
  Sean McAllister: And it's loaded with bacon too.
• 3:38
  Sean McAllister: Although I did just see when I was scrolling Instagram, I don't I haven't looked into this headline, but it said that like bacon is now classified as like a level two carcinogen or something.
• 3:49
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I mean, they always say that's on the list of things not to eat.
• 3:52
  Sean McAllister: Oh, but it's so good.
• 3:53
  Sean McAllister: Oh my gosh.
• 3:54
  Dayna Roselli: But then I feel like it's not something you eat a lot unless you make it at home.
• 3:58
  Dayna Roselli: Do you make it at home?
• 3:58
  Sean McAllister: I don't uh no seldom.
• 4:00
  Sean McAllister: And if I do, it's turkey bacon, and I do that in the air fryer.
• 4:03
  Sean McAllister: So it's fine.
• 4:04
  Sean McAllister: It gets all the stuff out of there.
• 4:06
  Sean McAllister: Um, so we did the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, and then we split the uh scramble sandwich, and that was so good.
• 4:13
  Sean McAllister: We had some of their um French toast stick dippers.
• 4:18
  Sean McAllister: Those were good, and hash browns, and the hash browns were like perfectly salty.
• 4:22
  Dayna Roselli: That was great.
• 4:23
  Dayna Roselli: And the coffee the iced coffee was delicious.
• 4:26
  Dayna Roselli: I did uh like more of a cinnamon.
• 4:28
  Dayna Roselli: Cinnamon, because I didn't want it super sweet, and that was a non-dairy coffee.
• 4:34
  Dayna Roselli: We had two.
• 4:35
  Sean McAllister: And I had the vanilla, and that was dairy.
• 4:38
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and it was great.
• 4:41
  Dayna Roselli: So a good splurge moment.
• 4:43
  Sean McAllister: It was a good splurge moment.
• 4:45
  Sean McAllister: I deliberately put off eating breakfast at home because I knew we were going over there.
• 4:49
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, sometimes you gotta do that, right?
• 4:51
  Sean McAllister: It was worth it.
• 4:52
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, it was worth it.
• 4:53
  Dayna Roselli: Didn't have to eat till dinner time.
• 4:54
  Sean McAllister: No, it's filling.
• 4:56
  Sean McAllister: So you have egg slut in the morning and you're good for the day.
• 4:59
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it was really good.
• 5:00
  Dayna Roselli: So welcome.
• 5:01
  Dayna Roselli: And I think you, like you said, great location.
• 5:03
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I think it's a great addition to the Rio.
• 5:05
  Dayna Roselli: While we were over there, we actually interviewed the president of the Rio, Patrick Miller.
• 5:10
  Dayna Roselli: We'll have that on an upcoming episode as well, probably next week.
• 5:13
  Dayna Roselli: Really interesting conversation.
• 5:15
  Dayna Roselli: We know that we get a lot of questions about the Rio.
• 5:19
  Dayna Roselli: Like, you know, what are some of the improvements?
• 5:21
  Dayna Roselli: Are they bringing back this?
• 5:23
  Dayna Roselli: What new additions do they have?
• 5:24
  Dayna Roselli: Are all the rooms renovated?
• 5:26
  Dayna Roselli: All sorts of stuff.
• 5:27
  Dayna Roselli: So we talked to him about all of that and we will share that interview next week.
• 5:31
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and he was very forthcoming with all of his answers too.
• 5:34
  Sean McAllister: Really was.
• 5:34
  Sean McAllister: We're excited to uh share with you what uh Patrick had to share with us.
• 5:40
  Sean McAllister: Uh, one of the other things that we went to uh was the opening of Jim Kana.
• 5:45
  Sean McAllister: This is an Indian restaurant that we've talked about here on the uh podcast before.
• 5:50
  Sean McAllister: It's open inside Aria right now.
• 5:53
  Sean McAllister: This is also just off of the lobby, uh, once you step inside the resort.
• 5:58
  Sean McAllister: And I mean the restaurant is absolutely stunning, but they had a big grand opening event and they built out this uh entryway as you walked in.
• 6:10
  Sean McAllister: They have a gym cana car in the classic Gym Cana green.
• 6:15
  Sean McAllister: Uh, and then we were I was surprised to see there were two peacocks who were brought in from Hollywood specifically for the opening of the restaurant.
• 6:26
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and two white peacocks, which I thought was really pretty.
• 6:29
  Dayna Roselli: So that was ex- that was so cool, and it's so they were so well behaved.
• 6:33
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it was a great picture moment.
• 6:36
  Dayna Roselli: Actually, on the way out.
• 6:37
  Dayna Roselli: Well, I think I was with you on the way out, and they were like, anyone want any last-minute pictures of people?
• 6:43
  Sean McAllister: Peacocks gotta go home.
• 6:44
  Sean McAllister: The peacocks, they gotta head home to LA.
• 6:46
  Sean McAllister: They were so well behaved, though, and they were posing perfectly for all the photos that people were taking.
• 6:52
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, that was Lychee and oh, I don't remember the other one's name.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_01: Oh wow, you got names?
• 6:58
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I got names.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't get that far.
• 7:00
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, they were, but they were great.
• 7:01
  Sean McAllister: They were sort of, I guess if you need peacocks, someone in LA is renting them out.
• 7:06
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, true.
• 7:07
  Dayna Roselli: The restaurant was stunning.
• 7:09
  Dayna Roselli: They had like a lot of different past bites, and all of them had a caviar twist.
• 7:14
  Dayna Roselli: There was a caviar cone, there was a caviar lobster bite on the canopy is going around, yeah.
• 7:20
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 7:21
  Dayna Roselli: And then um great wine and drinks.
• 7:23
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it was packed.
• 7:24
  Dayna Roselli: The it's a Michelin-starred restaurant um from London, and the family came out from London.
• 7:29
  Dayna Roselli: You could tell there were a lot of friends and family that knew each other, a lot of celebrities there too, which we'll mention a little later in our Vegas celebrity news with a twist.
• 7:39
  Dayna Roselli: Um, coming up in a little bit.
• 7:41
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, we can't wait to go and people keep asking me, how was the food?
• 7:43
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it wasn't that type of party.
• 7:45
  Dayna Roselli: It was just past bites.
• 7:46
  Dayna Roselli: We didn't have really any of the food that they serve, I don't think, or for sit-down anyway.
• 7:52
  Sean McAllister: But the the bites that we had, I I thought were delicious.
• 7:57
  Sean McAllister: But to actually sit down for a meal, we need to go back and do that and share a sit-down experience with you uh once we do that.
• 8:06
  Sean McAllister: But again, the restaurant, absolutely stunning inside.
• 8:10
  Sean McAllister: Um, and we're lucky and happy to have it here in Vegas.
• 8:14
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, very it's uh all the buzz.
• 8:17
  Dayna Roselli: I heard you have to make two month-out reservations.
• 8:20
  Sean McAllister: Yes, so plan in advance.
• 8:22
  Sean McAllister: In advance.
• 8:23
  Sean McAllister: Even if you think you're planning a trip to Vegas, just get that reservation on the books and plan your trip around it.
• 8:29
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, Indian food is so good.
• 8:31
  Dayna Roselli: Um, hey, uh a quick update to a restaurant that we covered in our Chinatown episode, where we told you about the hundreds and hundreds of restaurants they have over there.
• 8:41
  Dayna Roselli: But one of them that we stopped at, Glus, is uh now open uh another location in the southwest part of the valley.
• 8:50
  Dayna Roselli: So they have the Chinatown and now they've expanded uh to West Sunset Road.
• 8:54
  Dayna Roselli: And we just want to let you know because they're really popular for their sandos.
• 8:58
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and these are the Japanese style sandwiches.
• 9:01
  Sean McAllister: Uh the one that they've become really famous for is their egg salad sandwich.
• 9:06
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 9:07
  Sean McAllister: And that all stems from uh these egg salad sandwiches that you can buy at 7-Eleven in Japan.
• 9:14
  Sean McAllister: Uh-huh.
• 9:14
  Sean McAllister: And I guess people who go over there are go crazy for the Japanese egg salad sandwiches from 7-Eleven.
• 9:22
  Sean McAllister: Well, Gyu has done their own version of that and they've elevated it.
• 9:27
  Sean McAllister: And uh the sandwiches are delicious.
• 9:30
  Sean McAllister: We went, we stopped in there to, as you mentioned, Dana, for that Chinatown episode that we did, and had uh a few, we had their chicken katsu uh sando, uh, they had a beef sando and the egg salad that we tried, and all were so good.
• 9:48
  Sean McAllister: They what makes it really cool, there's this little pipette of uh like a jus that's different for each sandwich, and they just stick the little pipette in there, and then you squeeze out as much of the sauce as you want for uh each bite that you take.
• 10:05
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 10:06
  Dayna Roselli: And they make the bread there, I think they told us, don't they?
• 10:08
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, and they've whenever they run out, they're done for the day, and that's why people line up early.
• 10:12
  Sean McAllister: And they've since opened uh they've opened uh their own bakery where they bake their own milk bread.
• 10:19
  Sean McAllister: Uh so it's they've got the whole operation going on.
• 10:23
  Sean McAllister: They they were a good bunch of people over there at Giu.
• 10:27
  Sean McAllister: So glad to see them expanding.
• 10:29
  Sean McAllister: And they say their their lunch rush is a rush and they do sell out.
• 10:35
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 10:35
  Dayna Roselli: Definitely demand, right?
• 10:37
  Dayna Roselli: Um, also on uh, well, since we're talking about southwest part of Las Vegas, let's just quickly mention we we've talked about Durango expanding, Durango uh resort and casino, so popular in the southwest part of the town.
• 10:49
  Dayna Roselli: It's uh station casinos, but we did just learn that they are getting kind of like a honky tonk.
• 10:55
  Dayna Roselli: It's called Moonshine Flats, and it's based out of San Diego, and it's all part of their expansion.
• 11:01
  Dayna Roselli: We had told you that they're they mentioned they're um adding a lot of different types of entertainment venues and and things and attractions, and and they announced this as one of them.
• 11:10
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and uh that's gonna be so popular because do you remember back in the day when Green Valley Ranch, just uh this is another station casino property, different part of town.
• 11:20
  Sean McAllister: It's in Green Valley, as the name suggests.
• 11:23
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, they had a a nightclub called Whiskey Beach that was I I used to go there just about every single weekend, yeah, and it was like off the chain.
• 11:35
  Sean McAllister: Crazy, so much fun.
• 11:37
  Sean McAllister: And I I feel like there haven't been a lot of off-strip nightlife spots that have really become really popular and have caught on with a a younger crowd, and I feel like that's exactly what this is going to do.
• 11:56
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 11:57
  Dayna Roselli: Well, and I think I do think there is one, and that's Bel Air Lounge.
• 12:00
  Sean McAllister: Well, exactly.
• 12:01
  Dayna Roselli: And so at the same location.
• 12:03
  Dayna Roselli: So you're right.
• 12:03
  Dayna Roselli: There, I mean, this is just gonna make it even better.
• 12:05
  Dayna Roselli: People who love their country music, their line dancing, love to watch live music and bands.
• 12:09
  Dayna Roselli: This is gonna be different than Bel Air.
• 12:11
  Dayna Roselli: So now you've got that pack.
• 12:13
  Dayna Roselli: That's very popular on Ladies' Night, Bel Air.
• 12:16
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and then now you've got Moonshine Flat.
• 12:18
  Dayna Roselli: Well, not yet, but it's coming soon, or I don't know how soon, but sometime when it's done.
• 12:23
  Dayna Roselli: It's in the future.
• 12:24
  Dayna Roselli: It's in the future.
• 12:25
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, I mean, combining both of those, it's gonna be but but I think that's what you're saying is right.
• 12:31
  Dayna Roselli: I think Bel Air is kind of the only other comparison of a whiskey beach.
• 12:34
  Sean McAllister: It is, and that's popularity.
• 12:36
  Sean McAllister: It's like a more elevated, ultra loungy kind of kind of vibe.
• 12:40
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and patio in the in the uh, you know, when it's warm enough out.
• 12:44
  Sean McAllister: And it opens to the pool.
• 12:46
  Sean McAllister: Um, so yeah, I think between having Bel Air and Moonshine Flats, yeah, Durango is going to be uh the spot where people go off the strip for sure.
• 12:59
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 12:59
  Sean McAllister: It already is.
• 13:00
  Dayna Roselli: If it isn't already right, yeah, yeah.
• 13:02
  Dayna Roselli: They did build that second parking garage and it's nice and big.
• 13:05
  Dayna Roselli: And so they are anticipating, they know what they're doing, they know they will build it and people will come.
• 13:11
  Sean McAllister: Well, I mean, look at when they I don't and they weren't even planning on expanding this soon because they've been open what three years now, two years.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 13:22
  Sean McAllister: Um, they weren't planning on expanding, but they have it's been so popular.
• 13:26
  Sean McAllister: The property has just been such a magnet for people who live in the southwest part of town, but also people who live in other parts of town are going there as a a destination off the strip.
• 13:40
  Sean McAllister: And they've had to meet the demand and you know, expand early.
• 13:44
  Sean McAllister: And that's a good problem to have.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_01: It is.
• 13:47
  Dayna Roselli: Congratulations to them.
• 13:49
  Dayna Roselli: They got a lot of big things coming up this year.
• 13:50
  Dayna Roselli: I know that.
• 13:51
  Dayna Roselli: So we'll continue to cover that.
• 13:53
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, we went to see comedians Nikki Glacer and David Spade at the Coliseum at Caesars Palace.
• 13:58
  Dayna Roselli: They did two shows recently.
• 13:59
  Dayna Roselli: They'll be back Memorial Day and Labor Day.
• 14:02
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, we I did see them.
• 14:04
  Dayna Roselli: You didn't see them at the uh when they were at the Venetian, but now they've moved over to Caesars.
• 14:08
  Dayna Roselli: Um, what'd you think?
• 14:10
  Dayna Roselli: Because this was your first time seeing them.
• 14:11
  Dayna Roselli: I thought Nikki was hilarious.
• 14:13
  Dayna Roselli: David was so funny, too.
• 14:14
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, they're just a great duo, but so different.
• 14:18
  Sean McAllister: Very different comedy styles, very different in their delivery.
• 14:22
  Sean McAllister: But I thought I for me, I thought Nikki like knocked it out of the park.
• 14:28
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, she is just so funny.
• 14:31
  Sean McAllister: Obviously, she is just on fire right now.
• 14:35
  Sean McAllister: Um, you know, I she kind of she's been in the comedy world for a long time, but it was really when she started making appearances on those roast uh TV specials, that really uh got her in the pop culture zeitgeist.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_04: Right.
• 14:52
  Sean McAllister: And now, after just hosting the Golden Globes, she came right off of that stage in Hollywood to the Coliseum stage here in Las Vegas, and she just she was firing on all cylinders.
• 15:05
  Dayna Roselli: She never stopped either.
• 15:06
  Sean McAllister: No, she didn't.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_01: But David, his bit on getting pulled over and telling the truth was so funny, and his bit on um trying to find a girl and tell her to go up to your room in Vegas is hard when you stay at those big hotels because you're like me at room two, three, five, six, nine, eight, four, three, two, one.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_01: Go up the elevator and turn it.
• 15:28
  Dayna Roselli: But I want to give away all their jokes because they did not allow, you know, video to be shot.
• 15:32
  Dayna Roselli: Obviously, they don't like their jokes out there.
• 15:34
  Dayna Roselli: So, but um, just both of them.
• 15:36
  Dayna Roselli: Hilarious.
• 15:37
  Dayna Roselli: Now, Nikki comes out first.
• 15:38
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, they actually have a uh someone open for them, and then he was funny too.
• 15:42
  Dayna Roselli: He was good, yeah.
• 15:42
  Dayna Roselli: And I forget his name, but um, Nikki was great, and then uh David came out.
• 15:46
  Dayna Roselli: So um I think you know, and people say, Oh, I thought this, or just like we're discussing, like I thought David was a little funnier last time.
• 15:52
  Dayna Roselli: But I mean, this is the world of comedy, right?
• 15:54
  Dayna Roselli: You've got to come up with new jokes, you gotta try out new things, you change up your sets.
• 15:58
  Dayna Roselli: A lot of times people will go to comedians and go, Well, I saw them last time and they did the same jokes.
• 16:02
  Dayna Roselli: It's like, well, then let them try out new stuff and understand that they're gonna work it out, take some out, add some new ones.
• 16:09
  Dayna Roselli: And so I thought they were great.
• 16:10
  Sean McAllister: They were.
• 16:10
  Sean McAllister: It's it is a great evening of comedy.
• 16:14
  Sean McAllister: So if you're gonna be in town for uh their upcoming holiday performances, uh I would suggest it.
• 16:22
  Sean McAllister: It just made for such a fun evening.
• 16:26
  Sean McAllister: I laughed really I like my face hurt the next day.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_01: So funny.
• 16:30
  Sean McAllister: Because one of our friends, Claudine, who who I went with, like we were dying in our chairs.
• 16:37
  Dayna Roselli: So funny.
• 16:38
  Dayna Roselli: Don't wear shorts and wear sit in the front row.
• 16:41
  Sean McAllister: No, do not.
• 16:42
  Dayna Roselli: That's all I'm gonna say.
• 16:47
  Dayna Roselli: All right.
• 16:48
  Dayna Roselli: Well, um, let's move over to uh the Westgate.
• 16:51
  Dayna Roselli: Just gonna quickly mention, I know you went to the Elvis Aloha event and that was fun.
• 16:56
  Dayna Roselli: Travis Powell.
• 16:58
  Sean McAllister: Travis Powell, he's a world-renowned uh Elvis impersonator.
• 17:03
  Sean McAllister: Uh, he's been doing these series of shows over at Westgate that recreate some of Elvis's most iconic performances.
• 17:13
  Sean McAllister: The latest one was uh 1973 Live, which was the uh concert that was broadcast via satellite to like one and a half billion people around the world back when via satellite was like a newfangled thing.
• 17:30
  Sean McAllister: I love it, it was the only way to get your live stuff.
• 17:33
  Sean McAllister: Uh so he recreated that concert on stage inside the Westgate, and it was great.
• 17:40
  Sean McAllister: Travis is a terrific performer, it was an evening of Elvis.
• 17:45
  Sean McAllister: People were running up to the stage, like in true Elvis Mania, and like trying to give their lay to uh Elvis up on stage, and it was almost every song.
• 17:58
  Sean McAllister: People were rushing down the aisles.
• 18:00
  Sean McAllister: It was, I mean, it was kind of fun to see people really get into the whole uh Elvis uh fandom over there.
• 18:09
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, really well done, lots of exhibits throughout the property.
• 18:13
  Sean McAllister: They had some uh Hawaiian uh drum and dancer uh crews who are out there in the lobby to get people all amped up.
• 18:21
  Sean McAllister: So that was a that was really fun.
• 18:23
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and you know, we're excited because on February 10th, we're seeing the film epic Elvis Presley in concert, way before it's even released.
• 18:33
  Dayna Roselli: We're going to the Westgate, and people are just dying to see this concert concert film, I me included, and you.
• 18:41
  Dayna Roselli: And we keep seeing the trailer, and it just it looks so darn good.
• 18:45
  Dayna Roselli: This is you know the while they were making the other Elvis movie, they came up with so much uh footage that had never been seen before, and a lot of it, Elvis actually speaking in his own words, and apparently they've compiled it into this film, and I'm just dying to see there hasn't been a lot out there.
• 19:03
  Dayna Roselli: You can find a few Elvis documentaries, but it's kind of the same stuff over and over.
• 19:09
  Sean McAllister: Well, they torture the same people, yeah.
• 19:11
  Sean McAllister: It's like people talking about Elvis, but this is gonna be Elvis it sound it looks like it's Elvis in his own words, talking about this time in his career when he had this record-breaking run of shows over at the then international uh theater.
• 19:31
  Sean McAllister: It's now it's still the international theater, but the property is the Westgate.
• 19:35
  Sean McAllister: Um and it's just gonna be so interesting to s hear and see from Elvis's perspective that whole era.
• 19:43
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 19:44
  Dayna Roselli: That and I I do think the footage is gonna be interesting because think about the pictures that we see of Elvis.
• 19:49
  Dayna Roselli: It's the same ones over and over, right?
• 19:51
  Dayna Roselli: He lived a very long, you know, short life.
• 19:54
  Dayna Roselli: Short life should have been short, but you know, his career, and we do see a lot of the same photos, a lot of the same casual rare footage.
• 20:03
  Dayna Roselli: It like it's rare to see tons of footage.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_04: Right.
• 20:06
  Dayna Roselli: So I'm really curious what we're gonna be able to see here.
• 20:09
  Dayna Roselli: And like you said, here in his own words.
• 20:11
  Dayna Roselli: So we'll have more on that because we we know we're gonna go on and on after that uh preview.
• 20:16
  Dayna Roselli: We'll be able to talk about it more before you have an opportunity to go see it.
• 20:20
  Dayna Roselli: I think it's kicking off an IMAX on February 20th, and then and then it releases normal.
• 20:26
  Dayna Roselli: But and uh it's just gonna be, I don't know.
• 20:29
  Dayna Roselli: I think it's gonna be great.
• 20:30
  Sean McAllister: And this is a another film by Baz Luhrmann same director who did the Elvis movie um uh prior.
• 20:37
  Sean McAllister: Uh that was obviously like with a cast.
• 20:41
  Sean McAllister: Um, this is he says this is more than a documentary, it's more than a concert film, it's an entire experience.
• 20:51
  Sean McAllister: And really, in the first footage that's been put out, the way, I mean, the crystal clarity of the of the footage just looks like it's gonna be amazing.
• 21:00
  Sean McAllister: I I could go on and on about this.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, the anticipation, right?
• 21:03
  Sean McAllister: But we're we'll spare you the anticipation and we'll get into it in depth once we actually see it.
• 21:09
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 21:09
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, uh, quick paid parking discussion.
• 21:13
  Dayna Roselli: Uh we say quick, it could go on for a while, but um I wanted to mention really before we get into the paid parking idea that we have.
• 21:20
  Dayna Roselli: Um after uh David and Nikki, uh, we went to, I forgot to tell everyone, I went back to Water Grill after because we just wanted a little something, my friend and I.
• 21:30
  Dayna Roselli: And I just want to remind everyone the clam chowder there's amazing.
• 21:34
  Dayna Roselli: It's sixteen dollars.
• 21:35
  Dayna Roselli: You get a big bowl.
• 21:36
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it's delicious, it's so good.
• 21:39
  Dayna Roselli: And they actually have the clams in there.
• 21:41
  Dayna Roselli: They give you a bowl, uh, some clams in there that you know that are already in the soup, but then some that are actually in the show.
• 21:47
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and then you get um like a little bag of you know, the crackers, oyster crackers, and then they bring out three pieces of like this amazing uh sourdough bread.
• 21:57
  Dayna Roselli: It for 16 bucks, it's worth it, and you'll That's crazy.
• 22:01
  Dayna Roselli: I'm telling you.
• 22:02
  Dayna Roselli: So water grill.
• 22:03
  Dayna Roselli: But FYI.
• 22:04
  Sean McAllister: And that's over in the forum shops.
• 22:06
  Sean McAllister: Forum shops.
• 22:07
  Sean McAllister: Yep.
• 22:07
  Dayna Roselli: Right there as you enter the forum shops from right after you pass uh Vanderpump.
• 22:11
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 22:12
  Sean McAllister: Right at the beginning.
• 22:13
  Sean McAllister: On the right hand side.
• 22:13
  Sean McAllister: The old spago.
• 22:14
  Sean McAllister: Yep.
• 22:14
  Dayna Roselli: If you ever, you know, remember going there.
• 22:17
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but uh point is we were checking out and I was like, oh, in five minutes, our three-hour locals parking expires.
• 22:25
  Dayna Roselli: And then I realized that it was well, when I went to check out and it wasn't taking my license, and then I rang the button and they were like, oh, um, it's not free.
• 22:36
  Dayna Roselli: But I guess on the weekends I thought it was still the three hours.
• 22:39
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 22:40
  Dayna Roselli: And apparently it's not when there's a special event.
• 22:42
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know what the special event was, and I don't know if they consider a show at the Coliseum a special event, which kind of frustrated me because I was like, you know, what were the days before, like shows were just a part of the fabric of this town.
• 22:54
  Dayna Roselli: It wasn't a special event.
• 22:55
  Sean McAllister: I that special event pricing really grinds my gears.
• 23:00
  Sean McAllister: It really does.
• 23:01
  Dayna Roselli: So um it was$35 and we ran out of water grill where we could have sat and they said he said, Do you want dessert?
• 23:08
  Dayna Roselli: We kind of both looked.
• 23:09
  Dayna Roselli: So we probably would have ordered dessert, we probably would have gotten some coffee, we probably would have, you know, stayed a little longer.
• 23:16
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but you know, they got our 35 bucks.
• 23:18
  Dayna Roselli: No big deal.
• 23:19
  Dayna Roselli: Like it's not the end of the world.
• 23:21
  Dayna Roselli: But then it took so long to get out of there, even though we left about 45 minutes after the show, it was all backed up.
• 23:27
  Dayna Roselli: It took a long time.
• 23:29
  Dayna Roselli: So just another frustration.
• 23:31
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but I just wanted people to be clear about that because I do think information is everything so that you don't leave frustrated.
• 23:38
  Dayna Roselli: Well, and then sit and talk about it like I am in a negative way.
• 23:43
  Sean McAllister: Because you could have had a lovely evening, but when frustration is the last emotion that you're left with, that's what sticks with you.
• 23:52
  Dayna Roselli: I know, it really does.
• 23:53
  Sean McAllister: And it's unfortunate.
• 23:54
  Dayna Roselli: It is unfortunate.
• 23:55
  Dayna Roselli: And I just think a sign that says special of like even to know, then I would have been like, okay, great, we're paying anyway.
• 24:02
  Dayna Roselli: Let's go walk around the form shops.
• 24:04
  Dayna Roselli: Or let's go, you know what I mean?
• 24:06
  Dayna Roselli: Like, I don't know.
• 24:07
  Dayna Roselli: And people say, well, you were gonna, you paid to eat and blah, blah, blah.
• 24:11
  Dayna Roselli: But like, I'm getting something for my money.
• 24:13
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 24:13
  Dayna Roselli: You're just holding my car at a place that I used to be able to park for free.
• 24:18
  Dayna Roselli: So, um, anyway, listen, it's all part of it.
• 24:22
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it's part of our business.
• 24:24
  Dayna Roselli: We go, we cover events, we do things in Vegas, and it's fine.
• 24:27
  Dayna Roselli: But I do like people that listen to know because I do think it's important information to have.
• 24:32
  Dayna Roselli: Because I don't want everyone running around frustrated.
• 24:35
  Dayna Roselli: It might be something that you might ask before you go, or if you see one of those attendants waving you in, you say, Hey, is parking, you know, the three hours saying, Oh no, it's special event.
• 24:46
  Dayna Roselli: Like just to let people know.
• 24:47
  Sean McAllister: Well, it's good to, I mean, it's it's all just knowing what you're walking into.
• 24:51
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 24:52
  Sean McAllister: And not having a surprise after the fact and being like, whoa, where'd that come from?
• 24:57
  Dayna Roselli: So then we went uh before that to the Miracle Mile shops, who they never have locals parking.
• 25:02
  Dayna Roselli: So it's just you pay to park regardless.
• 25:04
  Dayna Roselli: We went on a shoot to cover a story of our choice in the afternoon, and um we noticed it was like one hour free?
• 25:13
  Sean McAllister: Uh one hour free.
• 25:14
  Dayna Roselli: Then 18.
• 25:15
  Sean McAllister: 18 for hours two and three, correct.
• 25:19
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and then it goes up again like to 20 founding.
• 25:21
  Sean McAllister: Yep.
• 25:21
  Dayna Roselli: But we had this idea.
• 25:23
  Sean McAllister: I think this is a great idea.
• 25:24
  Dayna Roselli: Because I was like, everyone run, you have one hour free.
• 25:26
  Dayna Roselli: What are you doing?
• 25:27
  Dayna Roselli: Running in to exchange something or buy a pair of sneakers?
• 25:31
  Dayna Roselli: Like, that's not that kind of mall.
• 25:33
  Dayna Roselli: No, it's huge, and there's restaurants, and so we said, why don't these people do paid parking at the beginning and then like hour three is free.
• 25:48
  Sean McAllister: Hour three is free.
• 25:50
  Dayna Roselli: So that when you're walking around, you're like, let's stay another hour because hour three is free.
• 25:58
  SPEAKER_00: Then you get them in there longer and they're like, let's have lunch.
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_00: Pay for lunch, let's go shopping.
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_00: I think it would work out much, much better than the way that they have it now.
• 26:08
  Sean McAllister: I like the idea of encouraging people to stay on property longer with the incentive of a free hour of parking, because what's happening now is you get people in there, and I know I watch the clock to see when my when my parking is gonna be up.
• 26:28
  Dayna Roselli: Uh-huh.
• 26:29
  Sean McAllister: I mean, it's just like when you're in downtown and you re if you're having a good time somewhere, like you're not gonna leave, run out and feed the meter, or I know you can do a lot of things on the app right now and reload, but that's just to be honest, it's a pain in the ass.
• 26:49
  Sean McAllister: It is, it is, and I would rather just cut the night off and leave than have to deal with a pain in the ass.
• 26:57
  Dayna Roselli: Agree.
• 26:58
  Dayna Roselli: So I I think a lot of people feel that way.
• 27:03
  Dayna Roselli: And so pay me to stay longer, and I might give me an incentive to stay longer.
• 27:08
  Dayna Roselli: Not pay me, but yeah, give me an incentive, save me money to stay longer, or validate.
• 27:14
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, true.
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_01: Validate that's a good one, too.
• 27:17
  Sean McAllister: Create a parking club, yeah, like a punch ticket.
• 27:21
  Sean McAllister: Give me a digital punch ticket, and and then I'll log on to my phone.
• 27:25
  Dayna Roselli: Well, you and I walked in the Miracle Mile shops, and I just to be honest, uh, we go, oh wow, like there were a lot of new things, and we thought we don't go there much anymore because as a local, I'm not paying$18 to shop or go to lunch.
• 27:40
  Dayna Roselli: Why would I?
• 27:40
  Dayna Roselli: No, I'm not so it's hard, it's hard, but um listen, I don't know.
• 27:46
  Dayna Roselli: Who are we?
• 27:47
  Sean McAllister: I used to park down in the basement of that garage.
• 27:51
  Sean McAllister: Down in like a I don't know, I don't even know if it was like legit parking.
• 27:56
  Sean McAllister: I mean, there were parking spots, but there was like a little nook down in the basement.
• 28:01
  Sean McAllister: You know how there's like the Miracle Mile Valet that you can go to?
• 28:06
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and it was like down kind of around the corner somewhere in there.
• 28:10
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 28:10
  Sean McAllister: That was a good little spot.
• 28:12
  Sean McAllister: I don't even think you can get to it now.
• 28:14
  Dayna Roselli: Well, um, hey, we're getting a big uh college football playoff national championship next year, aren't we?
• 28:22
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, my sister has been uh blowing up my phone about this uh ever since they announced it.
• 28:29
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 28:30
  Sean McAllister: And uh it's obviously uh top of mind right now because we just had the college championship and they had a little ceremony to build excitement for next year's college championship happening here in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium.
• 28:45
  Sean McAllister: But uh I know there are a lot of people who are excited about m building a Las Vegas trip around this game.
• 28:54
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 28:55
  Dayna Roselli: It's a big deal, right?
• 28:56
  Dayna Roselli: January 25th, 2027, if you want to mark it on your calendar.
• 29:00
  Dayna Roselli: Um they announced it in Miami.
• 29:03
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, right.
• 29:04
  Dayna Roselli: And um, it's gonna be a big deal.
• 29:06
  Dayna Roselli: And it'll be the first time, right, that we'll have that at Allegiant Stadium.
• 29:09
  Dayna Roselli: Allegiant's still so new.
• 29:10
  Dayna Roselli: We had the Super Bowl, but now we're having the national championship.
• 29:13
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, so it's gonna be exciting.
• 29:14
  Sean McAllister: I know uh, you know, my sister wants to know the second tickets go on sale.
• 29:19
  Sean McAllister: We don't know a date yet when tickets are going on sale, but um you can go on the uh there's a Visit Las Vegas website, they have a page dedicated to uh the national championship game that's coming up next year uh on January 25th is the date.
• 29:40
  Sean McAllister: So regardless, whether your team, your college team, makes it all the way.
• 29:46
  Sean McAllister: Congratulations to Indiana, by the way.
• 29:49
  Sean McAllister: What a what a game with Miami uh for Indiana to win their very first national championship.
• 29:56
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, which is strange to me.
• 29:57
  Sean McAllister: I would have thought that they would have great at basketball, but their football program Okay, maybe that's what I'm thinking.
• 30:03
  Sean McAllister: Yes, yeah, because Bobby Knight, remember, he would always throw the chairs.
• 30:07
  Dayna Roselli: That was great.
• 30:08
  Sean McAllister: That was good, that was a good era of college basketball.
• 30:12
  Sean McAllister: That's when you we grew up with uh in in New York watching Syracuse and Jim Beheim and the watch the orange, Otto the Orange.
• 30:23
  Dayna Roselli: We have a lot to keep talking about, so let's move on real quick.
• 30:26
  Dayna Roselli: The uh sphere, sorry, I was just thinking like wow, I just looked at the rundown of stuff.
• 30:31
  Dayna Roselli: Um, the sphere is uh apparently adding another sphere, but not as big as ours.
• 30:37
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but anyway, uh in talks anyway, and in getting ready to prepare to possibly build a sphere venue at the National Harbor in Maryland, right there near Washington, D.C.
• 30:49
  Dayna Roselli: It's gonna be like a mini sphere, 6,000 seats.
• 30:53
  Dayna Roselli: And it's interesting because we haven't heard like of another spot in the United States yet until now.
• 30:58
  Dayna Roselli: So we'll have to keep an eye on that.
• 31:00
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know.
• 31:01
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 31:02
  Sean McAllister: And there's of course, they already announced uh that they were going to build another sphere in the United Arab Emirates.
• 31:10
  Sean McAllister: So that project is moving forward.
• 31:12
  Sean McAllister: And from the time that they announced uh the sphere here in Vegas, like their vision from the get-go was to have a series, uh a network of spheres across the country, around the world, where they could show off the content that they're now showing off here in Las Vegas for the first time.
• 31:33
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 31:34
  Dayna Roselli: I don't like, I mean, I like when that we have the sphere and nobody else does.
• 31:38
  Dayna Roselli: So we're gonna ride that coattail and ride that wave.
• 31:40
  Sean McAllister: We can we can ride the wave.
• 31:42
  Sean McAllister: I know that there's a lot of regulatory stuff that needs to some hurdles that need to be cleared before National Harbor really uh even gets a groundbreaking.
• 31:53
  Sean McAllister: But um, you know, I think we are still will we will always be the first.
• 31:58
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, we will always be the first.
• 32:00
  Dayna Roselli: And it just reminded me, we got something in our inbox today.
• 32:02
  Dayna Roselli: Kenny Chesney added more shows to his residency at the Sphere, so FYI.
• 32:06
  Sean McAllister: And also, uh Wizard of Oz has now sold two million tickets at Sphere Las Vegas.
• 32:14
  Sean McAllister: Crazy.
• 32:15
  Dayna Roselli: So crazy, right?
• 32:16
  Sean McAllister: So good.
• 32:17
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, we have had so when we, you know, that whole trend of digging down into 2016 has made me kind of sad lately because I realized like I just feel like it was a little bit more of a carefree life.
• 32:28
  Sean McAllister: Oh, throwing back to 2016?
• 32:30
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, how everyone's posting pictures of 2016 and everyone keeps saying, gosh, what was it?
• 32:34
  Dayna Roselli: It was such a different time.
• 32:36
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and I saw like a little quote I might share actually on my Instagram story, I was thinking like, um, where it just says like it was a different time because we didn't care about aesthetics as much.
• 32:47
  Dayna Roselli: It was very uh much more, even just 10 years, more of a carefree lifestyle on social media.
• 32:54
  Dayna Roselli: Now everything needs to be filtered and this and that.
• 32:57
  Dayna Roselli: And I was looking at some of my pictures, and even a friend of mine who wasn't friends with me 10 years ago said, Boy, you just looked, it's like you and your friends, like you didn't care.
• 33:06
  Dayna Roselli: The pictures are so carefree and fun.
• 33:08
  Dayna Roselli: You're laughing, you're, you know, quick turnaround and a quick snap of a picture, not a whole big to-do.
• 33:15
  Dayna Roselli: And then um also I Vegas related is where I moving this into because I noticed like Top Golf opened in 2016, T-Mobile Arena opened in 2016, and I was like, wow, 2016 was really an iconic moment for Vegas as well.
• 33:29
  Dayna Roselli: A lot of stuff happened um around town.
• 33:32
  Dayna Roselli: There was more, there were more things, but I can't think.
• 33:35
  Sean McAllister: But I know that seeing the uh T-Mobile, because I was out there at the the ribbon cutting with the killers, they were out there as part of the whole ceremony.
• 33:44
  Sean McAllister: They did the opening night uh concert inside T-Mobile.
• 33:49
  Sean McAllister: That really was yeah, it was fun.
• 33:52
  Sean McAllister: That was great.
• 33:52
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I remember I worked at channel 13 at the time.
• 33:55
  Dayna Roselli: We were live outside and like broadcasting, and it was it was fun.
• 33:59
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and that was before Allegiant Stadium even existed.
• 34:03
  Sean McAllister: It is, you know, because T Mobile, yeah.
• 34:05
  Dayna Roselli: It was a big deal for us to get an arena on the strip.
• 34:08
  Sean McAllister: On the strip, yeah.
• 34:09
  Sean McAllister: That was 2016 was a really good year.
• 34:12
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and I think a lot of people are really talking about that whole that trend has really brought back a lot of put a lot of things in perspective.
• 34:19
  Dayna Roselli: Like, huh?
• 34:20
  Dayna Roselli: I did a lot of things, and also I kind of kept a lot, like a little bit more to myself.
• 34:26
  Dayna Roselli: Like you put out a picture or two, and you do like more friend group pictures now.
• 34:31
  Dayna Roselli: Like it's like you don't post a friend group picture after something because it's gotta be this solo shot of yourself kicking your leg up and something.
• 34:41
  Sean McAllister: It's gotta be like social media up.
• 34:43
  Sean McAllister: The the whole idea of social media now is so contrived and like following the trend rather than just doing your own thing.
• 34:52
  unknown: I know.
• 34:53
  Dayna Roselli: All right, it's time for celebrity news with a Vegas twist.
• 34:55
  Dayna Roselli: You ready?
• 34:59
  Dayna Roselli: Sean, I wanted to ask you as you were talking about the Aloha Elvis, you said Linda Thompson was there in the audience.
• 35:04
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, Linda Thompson, uh, who had a relationship with Elvis for years.
• 35:10
  Sean McAllister: Uh, she was there in the audience along with uh several other people who had personal connections with Elvis.
• 35:18
  Sean McAllister: Um, and so it was it was nice to see that uh these people are showing up to honor the legacy of such an incredible performer.
• 35:31
  Dayna Roselli: And they all have such interesting stories.
• 35:33
  Dayna Roselli: And I mean, Linda Thompson's Brody Jenner's mother.
• 35:36
  Sean McAllister: Yes.
• 35:37
  Dayna Roselli: If people didn't know that, because we were talking with someone else that I didn't realize that Linda Thompson was married to or with Bruce Jenner at one point.
• 35:48
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 35:48
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 35:49
  Dayna Roselli: Now Caitlin.
• 35:50
  Dayna Roselli: But um, but anyway, so uh you dive down, give her a Google if you don't know who she is.
• 35:55
  Dayna Roselli: But she's actually uh has a long history and a long career.
• 35:59
  Dayna Roselli: Um, nice lady, nice woman.
• 36:01
  Dayna Roselli: I've met her once before as well.
• 36:03
  Dayna Roselli: Um, Wild Things is filming in Las Vegas, and this is a big deal because it's a TV series about Siegfried and Roy, and this will be the big first since they passed um series based on them.
• 36:20
  Dayna Roselli: And we know like not only who's playing Siegfried and Roy, but even more.
• 36:24
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 36:25
  Sean McAllister: Uh we have Andrew Garfield playing uh one of the title characters, Jude Law is also uh I believe Jude Law is Siegfried, and Andrew Garfield is Roy.
• 36:38
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, for sure, because we saw pictures on TMZ, right?
• 36:41
  Sean McAllister: TMZ posted pictures of them in full costume.
• 36:44
  SPEAKER_01: Jude does not even look, you can't be unrecognizable.
• 36:47
  Sean McAllister: I mean, whatever prosthetics they used on him, he looks like Siegfried for sure.
• 36:54
  SPEAKER_01: I think Siegfried would be proud.
• 36:56
  Sean McAllister: He would be proud, he would approve.
• 36:58
  Sean McAllister: Uh Justin Thoreau is playing Steve Wynne interesting in the project.
• 37:03
  Sean McAllister: And obviously, Steve Wynne is responsible for uh well, Steve Wynne built the Mirage, and that's where Siegfried and Roy they had a long history in Las Vegas, but that's really where they became the signature act in Las Vegas of the era.
• 37:21
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my gosh, what a story this is gonna be.
• 37:23
  Dayna Roselli: I I can't wait for it.
• 37:25
  Dayna Roselli: It's gonna be great.
• 37:26
  Dayna Roselli: And Wild Things is the name of it, and it's based on what a podcast series that's already out there, right?
• 37:31
  Sean McAllister: Uh yeah, it's based on an Apple podcast called, also called Wild Things.
• 37:36
  Sean McAllister: Um, I think there's probably like eight episodes of that uh podcast, and that's what this uh mini-series uh on Apple is is going to be as well, just a limited series, multiple episodes, so not a full movie, like we kind of originally thought when we first heard about the project.
• 37:54
  Sean McAllister: Um, so it'll be interesting.
• 37:56
  Sean McAllister: I'm excited to, and I have not listened to the podcast yet, but I'm but I want to.
• 38:01
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 38:01
  Sean McAllister: And that's on my list.
• 38:03
  Dayna Roselli: There's so much stuff being filmed here in Las Vegas.
• 38:06
  Dayna Roselli: So another sighting.
• 38:07
  Dayna Roselli: So that was a sighting for TMZ posted some pictures.
• 38:11
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but also Andrew Garfield uh went to see Penn and Teller, and I thought that was a great picture that they posted, and so that's out there.
• 38:20
  Dayna Roselli: So um, you know, Penn Penn and Teller are obviously very famous magicians here in Las Vegas, too.
• 38:25
  Dayna Roselli: So I don't know if the he went to meet them, if he went to learn some things about them, if he went to chat with them about Siegfried and Roy or whatever that might be.
• 38:32
  Dayna Roselli: But the picture's on um Penn and Teller's Instagram.
• 38:36
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and I think that's cool.
• 38:38
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 38:38
  Sean McAllister: That he stopped over to um uh see their show and hang out with them uh backstage too.
• 38:46
  Sean McAllister: Uh by the way, Penn uh broke his ankle, so we're wishing him a speedy uh recovery, and hopefully he'll be able to get back to the stage um as quickly as possible uh once he's all healed up.
• 38:59
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 39:00
  Sean McAllister: Because that's not fun.
• 39:00
  Dayna Roselli: No, it's not.
• 39:01
  Dayna Roselli: And if you had tickets to that show, you'll have to reschedule uh until he's back.
• 39:06
  Dayna Roselli: I think they were saying could be out for like two months or something like that.
• 39:11
  Sean McAllister: That's not a quick thing to recover from.
• 39:14
  Sean McAllister: But this is the 50th anniversary that Penn and Teller are celebrating in entertainment together.
• 39:19
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, big deal.
• 39:20
  Dayna Roselli: And 25, I think, years at the Rio.
• 39:22
  Sean McAllister: At the Rio, yeah.
• 39:23
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, Patrick Miller next week when we share his interview, um, he talked about that too.
• 39:27
  Dayna Roselli: Um, okay, Hax is shooting uh in town too.
• 39:30
  Dayna Roselli: Um they talked about that at the Golden Globes that they have been shooting, but I think the Vegas part or the Vegas shoot and Vegas filming is happening around this time.
• 39:39
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, so they'll do, you know, they'll do whatever Las Vegas scenes they need to do while they're in town, and then you know, go back to go back to the sound stage to finish everything else up.
• 39:51
  Sean McAllister: But this is the third and final season.
• 39:54
  Dayna Roselli: So I didn't realize it was final.
• 39:56
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 39:56
  Dayna Roselli: I didn't know that they had said that this will be the final, but then they were talking like that at the globes, and I was like, oh, I had no idea.
• 40:03
  Sean McAllister: I know it's such a good show.
• 40:04
  Sean McAllister: Oh my gosh.
• 40:05
  Sean McAllister: That I am so glad for Gene Smart that she is getting so many accolades and flowers for what she has done on this series because she is just so she's great.
• 40:19
  Dayna Roselli: She really is, she's so funny, and she just won again the Golden Globe.
• 40:22
  Dayna Roselli: She did.
• 40:23
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 40:23
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I was just looking at Brandon's name, thinking I don't know how to say his last name for this next bit.
• 40:28
  Dayna Roselli: Sklinner.
• 40:30
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know.
• 40:30
  Dayna Roselli: I just look at him and I drool, so like his last name means nothing to me.
• 40:34
  Dayna Roselli: He's a very handsome actor.
• 40:38
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, he just uh I happen to follow him on Instagram because he's so handsome.
• 40:42
  Dayna Roselli: No, he's a great actor too.
• 40:43
  Dayna Roselli: He was in uh It Ends With Us, a lot of things with um 1923, 43.
• 40:49
  Sean McAllister: Oh, 1923, yes, the prequel to Yellowstone.
• 40:52
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 40:53
  Dayna Roselli: Um, he just announced a new film that he's in called Vegas, a love story, and it says in the article that they have started filming here in Las Vegas.
• 41:01
  Dayna Roselli: So uh we'll have to see what that's all about.
• 41:03
  Dayna Roselli: There's a whole synopsis, it's a big steamy love story, and I'm all for it.
• 41:07
  Dayna Roselli: So um looking forward to maybe a Brandon Sklener, Sklener sighting.
• 41:14
  Sean McAllister: All right.
• 41:15
  Dayna Roselli: Well, hit the streets, preferably at the pool with his shirt off.
• 41:19
  Sean McAllister: Hey, that's how every good Vegas love story begins, right?
• 41:26
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I love that we can say things that we can't normally say in real life here on the podcast because there's no filter and nobody can tell us what to do, and there's no FCC.
• 41:36
  Sean McAllister: There isn't.
• 41:37
  Sean McAllister: We just go.
• 41:38
  Sean McAllister: We go, we say it.
• 41:39
  Sean McAllister: Hey, another thing we wanted to mention uh Beast Games season two is streaming now on Prime Video, and that uh it's a reality competition series uh hosted by Mr.
• 41:52
  Sean McAllister: Beast, who's a billionaire YouTuber.
• 41:55
  Sean McAllister: Um, it's kind of a Squid Games style competition series, and that filmed here in Las Vegas as well.
• 42:03
  Sean McAllister: They built one of those uh big soundstage tents essentially in a desert lot uh just south of the South Point hotel and casino on Las Vegas Boulevard, so a few miles south of uh the Las Vegas Strip, the resort corridor.
• 42:21
  Sean McAllister: Um, but they filmed a lot of the uh season here in Las Vegas at the soundstage and outside of the soundstage.
• 42:30
  Sean McAllister: Um, and that's streaming now.
• 42:32
  Sean McAllister: So one of those folks is I think there's ten million dollars in prizes up for grabs.
• 42:38
  Sean McAllister: The winner walks away with five million bucks.
• 42:41
  Dayna Roselli: No joke.
• 42:42
  Sean McAllister: That is no joke.
• 42:43
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 42:44
  Dayna Roselli: Um people are enjoying it.
• 42:45
  Dayna Roselli: I know it's a big deal.
• 42:46
  Dayna Roselli: I've never seen it, but I hear it's great.
• 42:48
  Sean McAllister: Shane, my husband Shane loves to watch Beast Games.
• 42:51
  Dayna Roselli: He loves anything with a competition.
• 42:52
  Sean McAllister: He does.
• 42:53
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, he wants to, he really wants to be on Traitors.
• 42:56
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, okay.
• 42:57
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I was just asking you about that show.
• 42:59
  Sean McAllister: Well, he wants to be on Traders, he wants to be on the amazing race, he wants to be on Survivor.
• 43:03
  Dayna Roselli: He's never made it yet.
• 43:04
  Sean McAllister: Not yet.
• 43:05
  Dayna Roselli: He will.
• 43:06
  Sean McAllister: One of these days.
• 43:07
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, and another celebrity sighting, your dog was in the Martin Luther King Day parade.
• 43:11
  Dayna Roselli: He was in downtown Las Vegas, and he made the paper, a picture of Sawyer.
• 43:16
  Sean McAllister: He made Las Vegas Weekly.
• 43:19
  Dayna Roselli: So that's a Vegas celebrity sighting with a twist.
• 43:22
  Sean McAllister: With his red bandana.
• 43:23
  Dayna Roselli: What do we call it?
• 43:24
  Dayna Roselli: Celebrity news with a Vegas twist.
• 43:25
  Dayna Roselli: I don't even know the name of our thing.
• 43:29
  Dayna Roselli: We're still getting used to it.
• 43:30
  Dayna Roselli: We've got a lot of meetings today.
• 43:32
  Sean McAllister: I know, it has been.
• 43:33
  Sean McAllister: It's been our brains have been ping-ponging everywhere.
• 43:37
  SPEAKER_04: I know.
• 43:38
  Sean McAllister: Uh a couple other celebrity sightings going back to uh Jim Kana, the restaurant opening that we talked about at the beginning of the show.
• 43:46
  Sean McAllister: Um, there were some uh big stars there as well.
• 43:50
  Sean McAllister: Uh Tiana Taylor, the s uh singer, she was there.
• 43:53
  Sean McAllister: Winnie Harlow, the superstar global model, was there.
• 43:57
  Sean McAllister: Uh Brooklyn Beckham was there.
• 44:00
  Sean McAllister: Of course, he's making a bunch of headlines right now for the estrangement with his parents and some of the reasons that he says are behind that.
• 44:09
  Sean McAllister: That's a whole situation that you can look up on your own.
• 44:13
  Sean McAllister: Uh also uh Gunna was there.
• 44:15
  SPEAKER_01: I love Gunna.
• 44:16
  Sean McAllister: The rapper, he also has a smoothie at Fountain Blue.
• 44:20
  Sean McAllister: He does.
• 44:20
  Sean McAllister: His smoothie's good over there.
• 44:23
  Dayna Roselli: So yeah, it's been a very celebrity-filled week, hasn't it?
• 44:26
  Sean McAllister: It has been.
• 44:27
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and then I meant to say, by the way, um I really enjoyed being at Aria.
• 44:33
  Dayna Roselli: I hadn't been there in a while.
• 44:33
  Dayna Roselli: It's such a nice property.
• 44:35
  Sean McAllister: It is.
• 44:36
  Sean McAllister: Right?
• 44:36
  Dayna Roselli: It's nice.
• 44:37
  Sean McAllister: And yeah, you know what?
• 44:38
  Sean McAllister: It's not uh for being for its location kind of in the middle of the strip, it's it's it's pretty convenient to get in and out of, too.
• 44:46
  Dayna Roselli: It is, it is.
• 44:47
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I think if you park in the parking garage and you need to go toward the front, it's a little bit of a walk.
• 44:52
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but if you value, you get so I mean like plan ahead, but just plan a little walk.
• 44:57
  Dayna Roselli: But it was it's it is very convenient, and I noticed like it attaches to so many other places, so it's easy to get to from here to there.
• 45:04
  Dayna Roselli: It's like okay, go this way.
• 45:06
  Sean McAllister: And they have a walkway now from Aria over to Bellagio.
• 45:10
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 45:11
  Dayna Roselli: I saw that on the way in, and I was like, oh, I love I love that everything's starting to connect.
• 45:15
  Dayna Roselli: And then we need to talk about Vegas loop that's starting to connect to more places too in the future.
• 45:20
  Dayna Roselli: That's a whole other thing.
• 45:22
  Dayna Roselli: But it was used uh a lot, a little bit more than it normally is during CES because they really pushed it.
• 45:28
  Dayna Roselli: So it's out there, it's underground, and it's going.
• 45:32
  Sean McAllister: You know, one of the regular uh just surface streets that I uh that I always take, usually to come and stop over to your place, there's this parking lot that I drive by that is absolutely full of all Teslas.
• 45:49
  Sean McAllister: It's just like a big empty lot.
• 45:51
  Sean McAllister: It's full of Teslas, all the same color.
• 45:53
  Sean McAllister: And I'm like, I was thinking as I drove by it, I was like, I wonder if this is where they store all the Teslas for the Vegas loop.
• 46:01
  Dayna Roselli: It's so funny that you're saying, because I thought it was you and I that had this conversation.
• 46:04
  Dayna Roselli: We didn't have this conversation.
• 46:05
  Dayna Roselli: It was my friend Robin.
• 46:06
  Dayna Roselli: She took pictures and she's like, what is going on here?
• 46:09
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 46:09
  Sean McAllister: And because it's in a completely random location.
• 46:12
  Dayna Roselli: And I said it's probably related to the Vegas loop.
• 46:14
  Dayna Roselli: That's so weird.
• 46:15
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, she just brought the same thing up that really caught her eye.
• 46:18
  Dayna Roselli: See, I daydream when I when I drive.
• 46:20
  Dayna Roselli: I don't look around.
• 46:21
  Dayna Roselli: I'm listening to Taylor Swift and yelling lyrics out.
• 46:25
  Sean McAllister: See, I drive with the radio off, so I have silence and I have nothing to do but notice.
• 46:30
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my gosh.
• 46:31
  Dayna Roselli: You're like my dad used to be.
• 46:33
  Dayna Roselli: Observe everything, pay attention.
• 46:35
  Dayna Roselli: No, I like that.
• 46:36
  Dayna Roselli: But you're right.
• 46:36
  Dayna Roselli: I think it's probably related to that.
• 46:38
  Sean McAllister: And uh yeah, we'll do a uh we'll need to do an update on the Vegas Loop very soon.
• 46:44
  Sean McAllister: But they do have uh some properties that they bought up on Paradise Road that are going to turn into Vegas Loop stations and and transit hubs, really.
• 46:56
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 46:56
  Sean McAllister: So if you take the Vegas Loop, you can pick up a shuttle or a cab or whatever to go off to wherever else you need to go.
• 47:07
  Dayna Roselli: And sphere the sphere, which is nice.
• 47:09
  Dayna Roselli: It is long paradise, one of the and thank goodness, because then people won't park in the parking lot where I get my nails done and hog all the spots and walk over.
• 47:18
  Dayna Roselli: Um because they will.
• 47:19
  Sean McAllister: That'll be within walking distance of the sphere.
• 47:21
  Dayna Roselli: So that'll be good.
• 47:23
  Dayna Roselli: We could go on and on and on and on.
• 47:24
  Dayna Roselli: See, it just never ends.
• 47:25
  Dayna Roselli: They're also building a pink box donuts over there in the corner.
• 47:28
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, um, to be continued, because I don't know how much time uh we have left on our monthly subscription.
