  Dayna Roselli: We just did a new podcast last week to kick off the year, and we're moving right along.
• 1:23
  Sean McAllister: That's kind of crazy, isn't it?
• 1:25
  Dayna Roselli: Mm-hmm.

• 1:45
  Dayna Roselli: First, though, we have to start uh by talking about the fires in California.
• 1:49
  Dayna Roselli: Obviously, you know, California, Southern California, LA, all like like neighbors to us, like family.
• 1:55
  Dayna Roselli: Um, our visitors, a large bulk of them come from California.
• 2:00
  Dayna Roselli: Um, Sean and I appear on KCal every other week and speak to the people of Southern California about Las Vegas.
• 2:08
  Dayna Roselli: We also have a lot of people who have moved to Las Vegas from Southern California, and obviously it has been such a tough week.
• 2:15
  Dayna Roselli: Our segment on KCal got canceled, obviously, because they needed to do all hands on deck over there.
• 2:21
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I have been uh I've been streaming uh the coverage from KCal uh here at home in Las Vegas, and huge kudos to the entire team at KCal.
• 2:33
  Sean McAllister: And I know they have uh reporters from CBS stations across the country who have flown in to help with that coverage.
• 2:42
  Sean McAllister: And obviously, not only KCal, there are other local stations there in Los Angeles who have just done tremendous work in bringing in bringing uh life-saving and uh minute-by-minute information to viewers across Southern California to keep people safe.
• 3:01
  Sean McAllister: And I think that's a testament to what local news is all about.
• 3:05
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I mean you just it's you can't uh go through a tragedy and a crisis like this liter without local news.
• 3:12
  Dayna Roselli: You just can't.
• 3:13
  Dayna Roselli: And um, you know, it's important to see what the community's doing, it's important to see where things like the fire in this situation, where it stands.
• 3:22
  Dayna Roselli: It's important to see and hear from people and their story and what they need and all that stuff.
• 3:28
  Dayna Roselli: It just it's really been a lifeline for so many people.
• 3:31
  Dayna Roselli: You and I have been involved in local news for years and years and years, so we can't reiterate enough.
• 3:36
  Dayna Roselli: It's important now and always, and we hope people will continue to watch it.
• 3:42
  Dayna Roselli: You see those reporters and those news anchors really rise above.
• 3:46
  Dayna Roselli: And, you know, again, like you said, kudos to these stations dropping commercials and just letting the information flow.
• 3:52
  Sean McAllister: Oh my God.
• 3:52
  Sean McAllister: It's yeah, non-stop wall-to-wall coverage out there, which is uh not easy to do for people in front of the camera and behind the scenes.
• 4:02
  Sean McAllister: It's it takes a uh a lot of work and coordination to pull that off.
• 4:06
  Dayna Roselli: And many times they have, you know, a broadcast live on television, and then they've got this other component, which is like streaming with different talent leading the way there, you know, different uh reporters and journalists out in the field.
• 4:20
  Dayna Roselli: So it's been interesting to see, and I can only imagine some of those people every now and then need a break.
• 4:26
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, they do.
• 4:27
  Sean McAllister: Uh but here in Las Vegas, there has also been an outpouring of uh people, businesses, organizations who have wanted to step in and help.
• 4:38
  Sean McAllister: I know that's been a sentiment really across the country, people just feeling like, oh my gosh, what can I do for these people and communities that have, I mean, communities just wiped off the map, which is so sad to see.
• 4:52
  Sean McAllister: But here in Las Vegas, a lot of our resorts have stepped up to offer uh assistance as well.
• 4:58
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 4:58
  Dayna Roselli: I did notice, and and a lot of them have.
• 5:00
  Dayna Roselli: So, I mean, I when we pick out a couple or a few, this is not it's not a comprehensive list.
• 5:07
  Dayna Roselli: No, we just wanted to point out a couple things that came across our inbox that you know we we liked.
• 5:12
  Dayna Roselli: And one of them was that MGM Resorts has pledged a million dollars um in a donation to support the relief efforts.
• 5:19
  Dayna Roselli: Love that.
• 5:20
  Dayna Roselli: They're gonna be allocating funds to the American Red Cross and the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation.
• 5:26
  Dayna Roselli: So they're also um, you know, asking any employees that want to give that they're gonna match donations.
• 5:32
  Dayna Roselli: So love all that.
• 5:33
  Dayna Roselli: Uh kudos to MGM for that.
• 5:35
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and we've seen Resorts World, South Point, Treasure Island, Virgin Resorts, Prim Valley Resorts all offering discounted rates to people who have been impacted by these fires.
• 5:46
  Sean McAllister: Also, uh comedian Josh Wolf, who performs over at Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club, uh, recently did a special performance where all the proceeds were donated to the wildfire relief efforts.
• 5:59
  Sean McAllister: And I did see one post on social media um that said something to the effect of every single man and woman who are out there fighting these fires should never have to pay for another cuff cup of coffee or meal for at least a year.
• 6:15
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 6:15
  Dayna Roselli: I agree.
• 6:17
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, you know, and all these types of situations are where our first responders really elevate and volunteers.
• 6:24
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 6:24
  Dayna Roselli: There are people who are, you know, maybe a retired firefighter who's like, I'm gonna jump in and help now.
• 6:29
  Dayna Roselli: You know what I mean?
• 6:30
  Dayna Roselli: And things like that.
• 6:31
  Dayna Roselli: Steve Gutenberg's out there, actor Steve Gutenberg, helping clear cars off the road.
• 6:36
  Dayna Roselli: And he's really, you know, and and we're friends with his wife, uh, acquaintances.
• 6:40
  Dayna Roselli: I worked with Emily back in Elmira, New York, and I've been keeping in touch with her.
• 6:44
  Dayna Roselli: But it's interesting to see everyone come together.
• 6:46
  Dayna Roselli: And she just said, you know, Steve is so passionate about this.
• 6:49
  Dayna Roselli: Um, also just wanted to mention it's interesting, everyone's take, you know, oh, it's celebrity homes and blah, blah, blah.
• 6:54
  Dayna Roselli: You know, at this time, just we need to put all that aside.
• 6:57
  Dayna Roselli: People are people.
• 6:58
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, your house is your house, your possessions are your possessions.
• 7:02
  Dayna Roselli: And I do feel for the most part, people have really been able to put that inside and go, this is just everyone's human and they're affected.
• 7:11
  Dayna Roselli: Doesn't matter how much money.
• 7:12
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, there's people like Paris Hilton who she lost one of her homes.
• 7:15
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 7:16
  Dayna Roselli: And she's also giving, started a charity and is, you know, started with a pledge of$100,000.
• 7:22
  Dayna Roselli: She's using her platform to go to all the animal shelters.
• 7:25
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, you know, I think a lot of people, a lot of celebrities that have spoken out, devastated losing their home, also making note that listen, I know I'm gonna be able to rebuild, but memories were lost.
• 7:42
  Dayna Roselli: And yes, it's just still traumatic to see your whole neighborhood, your whole community go up.
• 7:48
  Dayna Roselli: It doesn't matter who you are or how much you're gonna do.
• 7:50
  Sean McAllister: No, it doesn't.
• 7:51
  Sean McAllister: It doesn't.
• 7:52
  Dayna Roselli: And all the workers in that community, all the cafes, I mean, there's so it goes so beyond celebrities.
• 7:57
  Dayna Roselli: I just think sometimes when you don't live in this part of the country, you hear Hollywood in Los Angeles, and all you think is La La Land.
• 8:04
  Dayna Roselli: And it's just full of people rolling in it and you know, making movies.
• 8:10
  Dayna Roselli: And that's not the case.
• 8:11
  Sean McAllister: Well, and a lot of people who lived in these communities bought these homes decades ago in the 70s and 80s, before these parts of the state were you know, had skyrocketing real estate values.
• 8:26
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 8:27
  Sean McAllister: And so, you know, even along the beach, there were small little beach homes, cottages, yeah, really, yeah, um, that people lived in.
• 8:37
  Sean McAllister: And, you know, those weren't the multimillion dollar celebrity homes.
• 8:42
  Sean McAllister: No.
• 8:42
  Sean McAllister: So there were a lot of people, just like you and me, who were impacted and who are having to navigate through this now.
• 8:50
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it's really, really, really sad.
• 8:52
  Dayna Roselli: And a lot of history gone too.
• 8:53
  Dayna Roselli: A lot of historic places have been um leveled to the ground.
• 8:57
  Dayna Roselli: So we'll keep you updated on that.
• 8:59
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, you know, we aren't there right now, but I know a lot of our listeners from around the world always like to kind of know our perspective and and how it stands.
• 9:07
  Dayna Roselli: Um, a quick conversation we were gonna have um is just, you know, wondering if a lot of people move to Las Vegas now, you know.
• 9:14
  Dayna Roselli: We always say how amazing Las Vegas is, and then we always go, well, let's not tell everyone because we don't want everyone to move here.
• 9:20
  Sean McAllister: We we like it to be our little secret.
• 9:21
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, but um in this case The secrets out.
• 9:24
  Dayna Roselli: I know, the secrets out, and and we will see, you know, Las Vegas is a fabulous place to live, fabulous place to visit, and uh we can't speak, you know, high highly more highly than we usually do of how wonderful it is to live here, and we feel we feel blessed for that.
• 9:40
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, but I do have a feeling that there are going to be a a decent number of people who've been displaced who end up relocating here to Las Vegas, especially if you know the film industry, yeah, um, if all the tax credits are passed and and film studios set up shop here like they they plan to do.
• 9:59
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 10:00
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 10:01
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and we're you know, Las Vegas is still open for business.
• 10:04
  Dayna Roselli: So come visit us.
• 10:05
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and we had one of our visitors ask us a question via text.
• 10:10
  Dayna Roselli: You can text us, we have a link in our show notes.
• 10:12
  Dayna Roselli: Again, we don't get your number, so you gotta add like your name and where you're from if you want to.
• 10:16
  Dayna Roselli: If not, it's fine.
• 10:18
  Dayna Roselli: We can't text you back, but we can talk about it in the show.
• 10:20
  Dayna Roselli: So we had a message and it said, Hi, Vegas Revealed, love your show.
• 10:26
  Sean McAllister: Thank you.
• 10:27
  Dayna Roselli: I love the Park MGM Casino and Resort, but don't love their rooms.
• 10:31
  Dayna Roselli: Do you know if the rooms will be updated in the future?
• 10:34
  Dayna Roselli: And that came from a listener in Redwood City, California.
• 10:38
  Sean McAllister: So we reached out because we always tell you if you don't know, if you write in with a question and we don't immediately know it, we will get the answer for you.
• 10:48
  Sean McAllister: So we reached out to MGM Resorts International, and uh we are told that there are no immediate plans to remodel the rooms over at Park MGM.
• 10:58
  Sean McAllister: Um but they will keep us posted uh if and when those plans do come together.
• 11:04
  Sean McAllister: I will say, however, this is one of the newer, the most recently remodeled uh resorts on the Las Vegas strip.
• 11:14
  Sean McAllister: I mean, Park MGM has been Park MGM for I don't know, five years now, maybe before that, five, six, seven.
• 11:23
  Sean McAllister: Um maybe several years.
• 11:25
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, several years more, maybe longer.
• 11:26
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, because when I lived at Veer that was a long time ago.
• 11:31
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, because I guess it has been a while since the Monte Carlo has gone away.
• 11:35
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I think it's been around a long time, we just time flies.
• 11:37
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I don't know.
• 11:38
  Sean McAllister: It just still feels new to me for some reason.
• 11:40
  Sean McAllister: Maybe because it's a smokeless casino and it just smells new.
• 11:44
  Sean McAllister: Um, but my cousin uh sent me a text just the other day.
• 11:48
  Sean McAllister: He and his wife came into town for a really quick trip and uh he said, Hey, we're in town if you can, you know, pop out to meet up with us.
• 11:57
  Sean McAllister: Schedules didn't allow that, but he said we stayed at Park MGM because last time my cousin was in town, I said, Hey, you know, Park MGM is a great property.
• 12:07
  Sean McAllister: If you're looking for a place to stay next time you're here, you should stay here.
• 12:10
  Sean McAllister: They loved it.
• 12:11
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 12:12
  Dayna Roselli: So and this person says they love it too.
• 12:15
  Dayna Roselli: They just wish the rooms were updated.
• 12:17
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 12:17
  Dayna Roselli: So here's a little solution.
• 12:19
  Dayna Roselli: I have a solution.
• 12:20
  Sean McAllister: Okay, what's your solution?
• 12:21
  Dayna Roselli: Well, I think there's a tram, right, that connects to ARIA, and this is keeping it within the MGM family.
• 12:25
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, there is.
• 12:26
  Dayna Roselli: Maybe you stay at Aria.
• 12:28
  Dayna Roselli: And if you love the park MGM, you're right next door.
• 12:32
  Dayna Roselli: You can pop on the tram, go back and forth.
• 12:34
  Sean McAllister: There you go.
• 12:34
  Dayna Roselli: So maybe you check out the Aria rooms and see if that's a better fit for you.
• 12:38
  Sean McAllister: Look at that.
• 12:38
  Sean McAllister: Vegas revealed bringing solutions to the table.
• 12:42
  Sean McAllister: And answers.
• 12:44
  Dayna Roselli: And answers.
• 12:45
  Dayna Roselli: All right.
• 12:46
  Dayna Roselli: Well, um, hey, we went to the opening of Caspians.
• 12:49
  Dayna Roselli: And boy, when we posted about this, I can't even tell you the number of direct messages I got on Instagram of people saying, Is that the old Cleopatra's barge?
• 12:58
  Dayna Roselli: And the answer is yes.
• 12:59
  Dayna Roselli: So Cleopatra's barge around for years and years, just part of classic Caesar's Palace.
• 13:05
  Dayna Roselli: The the barge kind of stuck out right there in the hallway.
• 13:08
  Dayna Roselli: They even had the the little the water and the moat.
• 13:10
  Sean McAllister: The moat, yeah.
• 13:11
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 13:11
  Dayna Roselli: And I think when they opened it, what is that iconic picture of Goldie Han smashing the like the bottle of the water?
• 13:17
  Sean McAllister: Oh, yeah, to christen the christen the barge.
• 13:20
  Dayna Roselli: Is it called the hull or whatever it is?
• 13:22
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know.
• 13:22
  Dayna Roselli: Um, yeah.
• 13:23
  Dayna Roselli: So I mean it's been around forever.
• 13:25
  Dayna Roselli: Great spot.
• 13:26
  Dayna Roselli: It's always been a lounge, it's always had a little dance floor, then it converted into a live music venue.
• 13:32
  Dayna Roselli: Matt Goss had his show there after he left.
• 13:35
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, David Perico and different kinds of bands would come in there and do live music.
• 13:40
  Sean McAllister: I think Wayne Newton performed there for a while.
• 13:43
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 13:44
  Dayna Roselli: So that was going on.
• 13:46
  Dayna Roselli: I think COVID happened.
• 13:47
  Dayna Roselli: They kind of closed it and never reopened it, right?
• 13:49
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 13:50
  Dayna Roselli: Then they decided, you know what, we're just gonna gut the whole thing.
• 13:53
  Dayna Roselli: So when we went, we were like, is this gonna like look anything like the barge?
• 13:57
  Dayna Roselli: And no, it's not even so.
• 13:59
  Dayna Roselli: This is an entirely new, brand, new, cut gutted, remodeled concept.
• 14:06
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, there is no uh barge that is integrated into the the new design.
• 14:11
  Dayna Roselli: No.
• 14:12
  Sean McAllister: Um, it's a really pretty spot.
• 14:14
  Dayna Roselli: It is.
• 14:15
  Dayna Roselli: I really did like it.
• 14:17
  Dayna Roselli: Um, you you have the sidebar there that's still kind of the same, but then you open that door that has a painting on it and you go into a big picture frame.
• 14:24
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, you go into like a speakeasy lounge, it's not huge in there, which I love, but it's big enough.
• 14:30
  Dayna Roselli: And you feel like you've kind of walked into this little, you know, kind of back in the day, but still modern uh place where everyone's hanging out and and you're in this secret spot.
• 14:42
  Sean McAllister: You are, and the music in there is it's great.
• 14:45
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 14:46
  Sean McAllister: I know our our our friend Ben Carey is uh part of the house band over there at Caspians, and we saw another friend, Justin Carter, who was up there uh performing for the opening night as well.
• 14:58
  Sean McAllister: They are both phenomenal, and then of course, Sammy Hagar headlined the night.
• 15:04
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that was cool, right?
• 15:05
  Dayna Roselli: And and it's called Caspian's Rock and Row.
• 15:08
  Dayna Roselli: And I said to you, what's row?
• 15:09
  Dayna Roselli: Because I'm not fancy.
• 15:10
  Dayna Roselli: And you said caviar.
• 15:11
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, fish eggs.
• 15:12
  Dayna Roselli: Fish eggs.
• 15:13
  Dayna Roselli: So I'm like, okay.
• 15:14
  Dayna Roselli: But but like you mentioned, the the live music was great, and the people were talking about, you know, some pretty good rock and roll, upbeat music.
• 15:22
  Dayna Roselli: So then I looked further and I'm like, okay, so it's always gonna have that kind of music.
• 15:27
  Dayna Roselli: It's right, they're gonna have rock live music.
• 15:31
  Dayna Roselli: So I like that.
• 15:32
  Dayna Roselli: It's different.
• 15:33
  Dayna Roselli: I wouldn't, I didn't expect that because you're like, it's speakeasy and it's you know, couches, and yeah, but then it's like, okay, and we're gonna hear some rock and roll.
• 15:42
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 15:42
  Sean McAllister: So I stepped outside of the uh speakeasy and went back outside to the lounge when you were still inside, and I got a text from you, and you were like, Oh my god, this band that's performing right now is like one of the best bands that I have ever heard.
• 15:58
  Dayna Roselli: So good.
• 15:59
  Sean McAllister: And that was our buddy Ben's band.
• 16:01
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, and we had just talked to Ben at Jason Al Dean's opening.
• 16:04
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 16:04
  Dayna Roselli: And I didn't notice it was him because he has his head down playing that guitar, his hair was hanging, you know, and I'm like, oh, it is Ben.
• 16:12
  Dayna Roselli: But I wasn't like paying attention or looking at who it was, you know, and I was like, oh my gosh, yeah.
• 16:16
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, so they're great.
• 16:17
  Dayna Roselli: Are they gonna be so when we when we were talking to him?
• 16:19
  Dayna Roselli: I think he said they're gonna continually be playing there, right?
• 16:22
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, yeah, they are like the house band, and then there's gonna be uh other uh performers, musicians brought in as well, right?
• 16:31
  Sean McAllister: But they're gonna be there.
• 16:32
  Dayna Roselli: And I feel like this music's for everyone.
• 16:34
  Dayna Roselli: I was standing there with Perez Hilton, you know, the celebrity blogger and gossip columnist, and you know, he's times 10.
• 16:41
  Dayna Roselli: Perez always elevated, and we had to stop because Perez said, I love this song, and oh my god, they this band is so good.
• 16:49
  Dayna Roselli: And he had to record it for his, you know, for his coverage because he was like, This is so good, and he loved it, and he was singing the words, and I was like, Yeah, I mean, and then everyone kind of so I mean this is music for everyone, it is great, it really is a great vibe in there.
• 17:03
  Sean McAllister: By the way, uh I ran into the general manager of Caesars Palace over there, and I found out that uh, you know, there was that barge piece that stuck out into the hallway at Caesar's Palace that had the you know, the woman on the front, like uh like old ships did.
• 17:19
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and they have a couple lamps in there on the um that's like that too.
• 17:24
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, whatever.
• 17:25
  Dayna Roselli: It's like the serpent with the no-shirt.
• 17:27
  Dayna Roselli: Oh that's what we'll call it.
• 17:28
  Sean McAllister: That woman who was on the front of the the ship, they have her in storage.
• 17:33
  Sean McAllister: Oh, good.
• 17:33
  Sean McAllister: So she may make another appearance somewhere at Caesar's Palace because people would go by and rub the breasts for good luck.
• 17:43
  Sean McAllister: That was a tradition.
• 17:44
  Dayna Roselli: That's how you win the slot machine.
• 17:46
  Sean McAllister: That's how you win.
• 17:47
  Sean McAllister: That's how you try to win.
• 17:49
  Dayna Roselli: That's how you try to win.
• 17:51
  Dayna Roselli: If it works for you, then you think that's the reason that you won.
• 17:53
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, exactly.
• 17:54
  Dayna Roselli: And then you'll be back.
• 17:55
  Dayna Roselli: Well, I love that.
• 17:56
  Dayna Roselli: I'm glad that they don't, you know, I would assume they wouldn't get rid of some of those pieces.
• 17:59
  Dayna Roselli: So it will be interesting to see because it didn't light up, so it can't go to the neon boneyard.
• 18:03
  Sean McAllister: No, it can't.
• 18:04
  Sean McAllister: But um But they can hang her somewhere.
• 18:06
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, they could.
• 18:07
  Dayna Roselli: So we'll see.
• 18:08
  Dayna Roselli: All right, I love that.
• 18:08
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, wanted to point out the row part, uh, the caviar.
• 18:12
  Dayna Roselli: So, so the the bartenders are great.
• 18:14
  Dayna Roselli: They have the sidebar, um, but also they have a caviar menu.
• 18:17
  Dayna Roselli: So we're talking rock and row literally.
• 18:20
  Dayna Roselli: And I was glanced at the menu, and you know how I glanced, by the way, I looked at the Vegas Near Me app.
• 18:25
  Dayna Roselli: They've already updated.
• 18:26
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, if you want to get the Vegas Near Me app, it's free.
• 18:28
  Dayna Roselli: They also sponsor the podcast, but we love all the information.
• 18:31
  Dayna Roselli: I went in and I typed in Caspians and clicked on the menu.
• 18:36
  Dayna Roselli: And so they do have everything.
• 18:38
  Dayna Roselli: They have caviar bumps, caviar lobster rolls, oysters on the half shell with a caviar bump, caviar tacos.
• 18:46
  Dayna Roselli: So it's a whole thing.
• 18:48
  Sean McAllister: I had a caviar, I had a caviar bump and a caviar double egg.
• 18:53
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that was good.
• 18:54
  Dayna Roselli: Yep.
• 18:54
  Dayna Roselli: I remember we had those together.
• 18:56
  Sean McAllister: And maybe a little taco.
• 18:57
  Sean McAllister: I think I had one of the little tacos too.
• 18:59
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 18:59
  Dayna Roselli: I did see there's a reservation link there on the site.
• 19:02
  Dayna Roselli: So you might, if you want to like go in and do the caviar thing, you might want to make a reservation.
• 19:06
  Dayna Roselli: I did try and find to see because I was curious.
• 19:08
  Dayna Roselli: Is there like a cover charge?
• 19:10
  Dayna Roselli: But I didn't find one.
• 19:11
  Dayna Roselli: So I think it's just if you do the reservation and you're gonna do ordering and you want to sit with a group or two of you, you want to might maybe make sure that you have a spot.
• 19:20
  Dayna Roselli: So go on to the website and and do that.
• 19:23
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, I think it's gonna do great.
• 19:25
  Dayna Roselli: I'm excited to go back and sit and chill and watch that band.
• 19:28
  Sean McAllister: Agreed.
• 19:28
  Dayna Roselli: Sammy was great as well.
• 19:29
  Dayna Roselli: Sammy's just everywhere lately, but he's got a residency coming up too.
• 19:33
  Sean McAllister: Over at uh at Park MGM at Dolby Live.
• 19:36
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 19:36
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 19:37
  Dayna Roselli: We also mentioned quickly on a podcast that we went to see Villa 66, a new suite at Resorts World.
• 19:42
  Dayna Roselli: And we know that you know what?
• 19:45
  Dayna Roselli: Even if you can't stay in the suite, everyone likes to know what it looks like, what it's like.
• 19:51
  Dayna Roselli: Well, and and so we actually did an interview when we were there at Resorts World, and we're like, ah, we should share this because people like to know the details.
• 19:58
  Dayna Roselli: We also went to the palaces, which describe that for us, Sean.
• 20:02
  Sean McAllister: Okay, so there are a few of these palaces over at Resorts World.
• 20:07
  Sean McAllister: They're up to 15,000 square feet of indoor-outdoor space.
• 20:13
  Sean McAllister: Uh, I mean, full it's essentially like walking into a house.
• 20:18
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 20:19
  Sean McAllister: A house away from home, but you have this whole outdoor, you have a pool, you have a patio area, you have palm trees, they can bring in private chefs to do a dinner, put a spread outside.
• 20:32
  Sean McAllister: I mean, they are nice.
• 20:35
  Dayna Roselli: They're nice.
• 20:36
  Dayna Roselli: And we got to go inside, which is rare, and we got to see Villa 66.
• 20:41
  Dayna Roselli: So while we were there at this party, we said, hey, Shannon McCallum, vice president of hotel operations, come talk to us about these suites and how exclusive they are and why you have them.
• 20:54
  Dayna Roselli: And so we did just that.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you know, Villa 66 was something that has been under development for a little while because it was vacant until this time.
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_01: It was built at the time that we opened the hotel, but we never really opened it up.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_01: And this is really to focus on our casino guests and those guests that are looking for something a bit more exciting that is out of the ordinary.
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_01: We are very luxurious as a property, and you can see it with the palace that we have here.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_01: But Villa 66 is an exciting location where you can come and gather as a group, you can plug in a DJ.
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_01: It has special lighting that has been put in the suite that can really give you that party atmosphere, high up in the clouds, looking over the strip.
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_01: So it really is an amazing new offering for us here at the property.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_01: And it is important to have these offerings, right?
• 21:46
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, I don't think people realize that if you don't have something that a certain group wants that's coming in and wants to spend some money, they'll go somewhere else.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely, everybody's looking for a different experience, and I think that this is such a great addition to the luxury.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_01: Suites that we already have.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_01: Again, the view is just spectacular, looking from the north end of the strip.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_01: And our guests have this exciting experience that they can then gather together and really bring people together in such a beautiful location with luxurious surroundings.
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_01: And um, the palace is something that's been here.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_01: Tell me where we're standing now.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_01: Tell us about this.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_01: Well, palaces that we have here at Resorts World are very unique because they have outdoor spaces.
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_01: In Las Vegas, that is something that people are looking for to spend time out in the beautiful weather.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_01: And our palaces that you see here behind us have pools.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_01: We have three palaces.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_01: Two of them are three bedrooms, one is the four-bedroom.
• 22:44
  SPEAKER_01: Up to 15,000 square feet of space indoor and outdoor.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_01: We can have chefs brought in and do outdoor meals.
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_01: It really is a special location.
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_01: And for those notable guests that will stay with us, it gives them the privacy that they need in order to be able to enjoy themselves in luxury.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_01: But still feel like they're in Vegas.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_01: They're part of everything.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_01: They can step outside of their room and have everything that Vegas has to offer.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_01: But here they can relax and enjoy themselves.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_01: You guys have been open how many years now?
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_01: It's 2025.
• 23:14
  Dayna Roselli: What are you doing?
• 23:15
  Dayna Roselli: 2021.
• 23:15
  Dayna Roselli: Three and a half years.
• 23:16
  SPEAKER_01: Three and a half years we've been open.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_01: So when it's gone like this, it really has.
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_01: And it's exciting to see how we're continuing to evolve at the property and bring these new offerings into place.
• 23:27
  Sean McAllister: And by the way, I love that uh Villa 66 has an Alaskan king bed.
• 23:34
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 23:34
  Dayna Roselli: Wasn't that cool?
• 23:36
  Sean McAllister: That is extra long because they say when NBA players come to town, a lot of times their feet hang over the edge of the bed.
• 23:43
  Sean McAllister: So these Alaskan king beds can accommodate extra tall people.
• 23:48
  Dayna Roselli: Which, you know, we have a lot of in Las Vegas.
• 23:51
  Dayna Roselli: Because we have a lot of sporting events and a lot of teams that come in.
• 23:54
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, even that whole, I don't know how tall rugby players are.
• 23:57
  Dayna Roselli: Remember they had that whole rugby team come in for the well, I mean they're all the rugby teams to come in for the tournament, and they were big guys.
• 24:04
  Sean McAllister: They're like six foot easy plus.
• 24:07
  Sean McAllister: Six foot plus.
• 24:08
  Sean McAllister: They're big.
• 24:09
  Sean McAllister: They're giant people.
• 24:10
  Dayna Roselli: Well, they were staying at resorts world, and now they have Alaskan King beds for them.
• 24:15
  Sean McAllister: And speaking of sports, Dana, we see a lot taking place over at Allegiance Stadium.
• 24:20
  Sean McAllister: Not only sports, but entertainment.
• 24:23
  Sean McAllister: Uh we have uh the WWE is bringing WrestleMania to Las Vegas over at Allegiance Stadium this spring.
• 24:32
  Sean McAllister: And uh Allegiant has uh really done a great job at solidifying itself as one of the premier entertainment venues really anywhere in the world.
• 24:44
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, they earned the title this year, well, last year, 2024, um, of Top Stadium in the United States.
• 24:51
  Dayna Roselli: Isn't that cool?
• 24:52
  Dayna Roselli: And the number two stadium worldwide for live events.
• 24:56
  Dayna Roselli: This is all according to Billboard Magazine's 2024 year-end report.
• 25:01
  Dayna Roselli: So congratulations on that.
• 25:03
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, just in 2024 alone, they had the Rolling Stones, Morgan Wallin, Pink, Billy Jolen Sting, George Strait.
• 25:12
  Dayna Roselli: Then you talk about, you know, the Super Bowl and uh so many other tournaments.
• 25:18
  Dayna Roselli: So, like I mentioned, the National Rugby League, um, they had the the Las Vegas Bowl with USC versus Texas and AM, and that was like sold out, right?
• 25:26
  Sean McAllister: Oh, huge.
• 25:27
  Dayna Roselli: Huge.
• 25:28
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, it's a great stadium, and kudos to Allegiant here in Las Vegas.
• 25:32

  Sean McAllister: And this week, Dana, we start in downtown Las Vegas in the arts district where a new bar has just opened up.
• 26:20
  Sean McAllister: It's called Petite Bohème, and it's brought to us by the James Beard award-winning chef James Trees, who also owns Esther's Kitchen, which is in the arts district as well, just a few blocks north of Petite Bohème on Main Street.
• 26:38
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 26:39
  Dayna Roselli: So this place, I ran into uh one of the partners, Michael McGraw, a longtime friend of mine, when I was at Piero's on New Year's Eve, and he said, You gotta come see the new bar because people are lining up outside before it even opens at 4 p.m.
• 26:51
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 26:51
  Dayna Roselli: It's open 4 p.m.
• 26:53
  Dayna Roselli: to 2 a.m.
• 26:54
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, brand new.
• 26:55
  Dayna Roselli: And when you walk in, it's really cool.
• 26:58
  Dayna Roselli: They have original street art in there, eclectic wicker and velveteen seating.
• 27:04
  Dayna Roselli: It has vintage Parisian rugs and accents.
• 27:07
  Dayna Roselli: So it's it's really beautiful and very unique.
• 27:10
  Sean McAllister: And uh Petite Boehm is actually part of uh a broader project.
• 27:17
  Sean McAllister: They're eventually, uh, pretty soon actually, they're going to be opening Bar Bowm, which is going to be a restaurant and bar that is attached to Petite Boehm.
• 27:28
  Dayna Roselli: And they also do have outdoor seating, because I know people like to know that with these like pretty like accented strings of cafe lights.
• 27:34
  Dayna Roselli: They have heaters.
• 27:35
  Dayna Roselli: About 40 people fit inside, 30 outside.
• 27:38
  Dayna Roselli: So it is petite, which is a great little intimate space, and it sounds like a great a great bar.
• 27:46
  Dayna Roselli: So we're gonna get over there um soon.
• 27:48
  Dayna Roselli: Can't wait to check it out.
• 27:50
  Dayna Roselli: I hear nothing but great things.
• 27:51
  Dayna Roselli: So FYI, if you're in Las Vegas, you live here, or you're in town to visit, go check out this latest edition to the Arts District.
• 28:00
  Sean McAllister: Well, we know that Super Bowl 58 was hosted here in Las Vegas last year.
• 28:05
  Sean McAllister: This year the game is moving down to New Orleans, but Las Vegas is still the place to be for Super Bowl if you're not actually at the game.
• 28:17
  Sean McAllister: And there are so many places offering viewing options.
• 28:21
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, you know, it's always been that way, right?
• 28:23
  Dayna Roselli: Because people love to come in and watch the games and so um just uh this is like literally like a dot of the amount of things that there are to do.
• 28:31
  Dayna Roselli: But I just wanted to point out some things you might want to make reservations for now.
• 28:35
  Dayna Roselli: You gotta do it early.
• 28:37
  Dayna Roselli: The Hyper X arena at Luxor is showing the game and having their own special thing in there.
• 28:43
  Dayna Roselli: You gotta make reservations, grab a ticket.
• 28:45
  Dayna Roselli: Um, Old Red is doing year two on the strip and having the Super Bowl party.
• 28:50
  Dayna Roselli: It wasn't it last year, it was like one of their first big things.
• 28:53
  Sean McAllister: Well, I think it was just before they opened because I think Blake Shelton actually may have had a private viewing party inside Old Red, or there was a private party in there.
• 29:06
  Sean McAllister: Um, but yes, Old Red is great.
• 29:09
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 29:09
  Sean McAllister: Three levels of viewing with a massive screen right in the middle.
• 29:13
  Sean McAllister: Good spot.
• 29:14
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and I think I um when I was reading about it, which I think we're talking about in the TV show as well, is that they're gonna do live music in the morning and then they're making sure to pause the live music so that all three levels can enjoy and watch the game.
• 29:27
  Sean McAllister: Oh, good.
• 29:27
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and then they'll bring the live music back once the game ends.
• 29:30
  Dayna Roselli: So don't feel like, oh, it's a live music venue, I won't be able to hear the game.
• 29:34
  Dayna Roselli: No, you will.
• 29:35
  Dayna Roselli: So they're doing that.
• 29:36
  Dayna Roselli: Fountain Blue is doing something at Live and at the Tavern.
• 29:39
  Dayna Roselli: And then the downtown Las Vegas Event Center is bringing back the biggest big game bash, and that is actually free.
• 29:47
  Dayna Roselli: You have to be 21 and over.
• 29:50
  Dayna Roselli: And they basically transform that outdoor venue there into this football haven.
• 29:54
  Dayna Roselli: Um, they have like uh game day experiences, premium access, they have man caves out there and an all-new ultimate end zone experience.
• 30:06
  Dayna Roselli: For that, you might want to get more details because I think there are some like different levels.
• 30:11
  Dayna Roselli: Like if you did wanna uh like up your game, um, but go to DLVC.com backslash event, and you'll see the biggest big game bash 2025 page on there with all the details.
• 30:27
  Dayna Roselli: So lots of stuff going on.
• 30:29
  Dayna Roselli: The list goes on and on.
• 30:30
  Dayna Roselli: Just we say it every year.
• 30:32
  Dayna Roselli: You gotta book ahead.
• 30:33
  Sean McAllister: And something else that's cool, uh, Allegiant Stadium is taking part in a a nationwide uh essentially fan fest.
• 30:42
  Sean McAllister: There are 29 NFL cities across the country that are taking part in this uh Verizon fan fest, and as part of that, you can actually watch the Super Bowl inside Allegiant Stadium.
• 30:55
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that's cool.
• 30:56
  Dayna Roselli: Why not?
• 30:57
  Sean McAllister: I mean, that's pretty cool.
• 30:59
  Sean McAllister: Where it was hosted last year, be in there.
• 31:02
  Sean McAllister: You can't get more of a football vibe to watch the biggest game in football.
• 31:06
  Dayna Roselli: Well, and the number one venue in America, and the number two in the world.
• 31:10
  Sean McAllister: So come here and go to Allegiant Stadium.
• 31:13
  Dayna Roselli: So should we make our predictions?
• 31:14
  Dayna Roselli: Who's gonna be in the Super Bowl?
• 31:16
  Sean McAllister: Oh my gosh.
• 31:17
  Dayna Roselli: I know my dad would love it to be Bill's Lions because that's what he's got on the game.
• 31:21
  Sean McAllister: I think Bill's Lions is a good bet.
• 31:24
  Sean McAllister: Is a a good bet.
• 31:25
  Dayna Roselli: Bill's Lions.
• 31:27
  Sean McAllister: Sure, let's go Bill's Lions.
• 31:28
  Dayna Roselli: Bill's Lions, why not?
• 31:30
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, listen, odds are the Chiefs will probably make it there.
• 31:34
  Dayna Roselli: They're really good as usual, but maybe not this year.
• 31:38
  Dayna Roselli: I'm I'm I would love the Lions.
• 31:41
  Sean McAllister: The Lions to wait it's it's time for them to do something.
• 31:44
  Dayna Roselli: And people might say to me, What?
• 31:46
  Dayna Roselli: You're from Buffalo.
• 31:47
  Dayna Roselli: Well, we're from Rochester, an hour away from Buffalo.
• 31:50
  Dayna Roselli: I do like Buffalo.
• 31:51
  Sean McAllister: And we always have layovers in Detroit.
• 31:53
  Sean McAllister: So True.
• 31:55
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know.
• 31:55
  Dayna Roselli: Either one.
• 31:56
  Dayna Roselli: I I'm all for either.
• 31:58
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, one of those would be nice.
• 31:59
  Dayna Roselli: It's been a while, right?
• 32:00
  Sean McAllister: It has been.
• 32:01
  Sean McAllister: It's been it has been.
• 32:02
  Sean McAllister: Bill's Lions, I think, would be a good game.
• 32:04
  Dayna Roselli: Speaking of, we gotta go because we're late to an illumination of last year's Super Bowl sign that was up downtown, is illuminating uh today.
• 32:13
  Dayna Roselli: We're shooting on a what's today?
