0:37
Dayna Roselli: I'm Dayna Roselli, along with Sean McAllister.
0:40
Dayna Roselli: I have so many topics going in my head, but we first wanted to touch on Dolly Parton because obviously she passed away, and that's all the whole world has been talking about.
0:50
Dayna Roselli: But you put together a flashback piece with some iconic moments from Las Vegas.
0:55
Dayna Roselli: And we wanted to let people know that that is on our YouTube channel.
0:58
Dayna Roselli: Hello, Sean.
1:00
Sean McAllister: Yeah, hello Dayna.
1:01
Sean McAllister: And hello, Dolly.
1:02
Sean McAllister: I mean, uh, Dolly Parton, just so iconic.
1:06
Sean McAllister: And what's been really remarkable is seeing all of these tributes, all of uh the honors that have come out for Dolly Parton, and they're just not stopping.
1:16
Sean McAllister: And all these clips of Dolly's words of wisdom.
1:20
Sean McAllister: And uh, you know, we've joined the chorus of singing Dolly's praises uh by putting together this neon flashback that recognize some of the big moments of Dolly's career here in Las Vegas.
1:32
Sean McAllister: Um, so again, go to our YouTube channel, check out the uh neon flashback section and and watch that story.
1:39
Dayna Roselli: But you got some good pictures though, some visuals from the LVCVA archive.
1:44
Dayna Roselli: So these are things that a lot of people may not have seen before.
1:47
Sean McAllister: Yeah, or maybe reliving some of the moments that uh you were lucky enough to be there for perhaps.
1:53
Sean McAllister: Um going back to the early 1980s, that's when Dolly Parton had a a residency over at the Riviera.
2:00
Sean McAllister: She was here for uh several months uh in early 1981 doing a lot of shows.
2:07
Sean McAllister: People packed the house to see those performances.
2:11
Sean McAllister: Um then she was back in 2016 at the Academy of Country Music Awards that were held over at MGM Grand.
2:19
Sean McAllister: Yeah.
2:19
Sean McAllister: That's when I had a personal interaction with Dolly.
2:23
Sean McAllister: I was doing interviews on the red carpet uh for the show I worked with at the time.
2:28
Sean McAllister: And it was one of those situations where if you haven't done a red carpet before, especially for an award show, as you get closer to showtime, uh these artists are just kind of being rushed in.
2:39
Sean McAllister: Publicists are trying to uh get them in so that they can be there for the start of the award show.
2:46
Sean McAllister: Um, it was one of those situations, and Dolly was uh kind of leapfrogged us on the uh red carpet, and she saw that we were really wanting to talk with her.
2:57
Sean McAllister: And so when she wrapped up the interview she was doing, she kind of took one step back over and she said, you know what?
3:04
Sean McAllister: If you guys want to talk to me, I want to talk to you.
3:07
Dayna Roselli: I love it.
3:07
Dayna Roselli: I can hear it in her voice.
3:09
Sean McAllister: It was great, and it wasn't a long interview, you know, two minutes, but it was just the fact that she made an effort, saw that we wanted to talk to her, and she made the time.
3:20
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that's a great story.
3:21
Dayna Roselli: I love that.
3:22
Dayna Roselli: And you haven't seen her perform in person, but you almost did.
3:25
Sean McAllister: Oh, I almost did.
3:26
Sean McAllister: It was that exact same year, 2016, she was performing uh at the Laughlin Event Center and I had tickets, but there was another uh obligation that came up on the same night, ended up uh selling tickets to a friend who I'm so glad that uh that he was able to go uh to that concert and experience it.
3:46
Sean McAllister: I'm glad it was somebody that I knew.
3:47
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
3:48
Dayna Roselli: Who works for station casinos in the entertainment biz.
3:53
Dayna Roselli: So I know he was posting clips and it meant a lot to him.
3:55
Dayna Roselli: So you did a good deed, but that's right, you didn't get to see her live.
3:58
Dayna Roselli: And I know you were interested in going if she was gonna come to the Coliseum, and then she had to cancel those shows around rodeo time.
4:05
Dayna Roselli: So um, definitely a sad, a sad week um all around the world, and you know, everyone recalling the quotes and wonderful things that Dolly Parton did through the years.
4:14
Sean McAllister: Well, and really how how miraculous is it to have a career that lasted as long as Dolly's did, and to have so many interactions with so many, not only fans, but celebrities, production people.
4:28
Sean McAllister: And there hasn't been a single bad thing about her.
4:33
Dayna Roselli: Right.
4:33
Sean McAllister: Everything has been positive, and that just speaks volumes to the person that she was.
4:38
Dayna Roselli: Definitely.
4:38
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
4:39
Dayna Roselli: All right.
4:40
Dayna Roselli: Well, let's move on to some Las Vegas items uh that have been happening in, you know, in town over the last couple weeks.
4:47
Dayna Roselli: And one of them that was really big, the Michelin Guide Southwest Awards.
4:52
Dayna Roselli: They were at Fountain Blue, Las Vegas.
4:53
Dayna Roselli: Sean and I went to a couple different events.
4:55
Dayna Roselli: We went to a hospitality QA, which I feel like, you know, we learned a little bit, but it was really more just to talk about the hospitality world and you know the popularity of it and how we're getting more and more restaurants all the time in Las Vegas.
5:10
Dayna Roselli: Some are closing, some are being refreshed, and that kind of thing.
5:13
Dayna Roselli: So I don't know that there was any groundbreaking information that came out of that.
5:17
Dayna Roselli: Um, but we did go to the awards and I loved the um little like cocktail hour they had before because they utilized one of the Fountain Blues like entertaining rooms that I had never been in, and it was lovely.
5:29
Sean McAllister: Yeah, it really was.
5:31
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
5:31
Dayna Roselli: That was like it was like, you know, windows out to like a patio area, and it was really nice.
5:37
Dayna Roselli: So it was nice to see them activate that space.
5:39
Dayna Roselli: Um, and they had great, you know, things you could try and different kinds of drinks.
5:43
Dayna Roselli: It was top of the line.
5:44
Sean McAllister: Yeah, it it was top of the line.
5:46
Sean McAllister: And you know, in Michelin, when the Michelin guide is involved, it is going to be top of the line.
5:51
Sean McAllister: And same with Fountain Blue, they're fantastic as well.
5:54
Sean McAllister: So that was a good partnership to kick off the Michelin Southwest uh return.
6:01
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
6:01
Dayna Roselli: Um, so let's get right to it because I know a lot even when we were sitting there, we're like, all right, what what Vegas restaurants got a w, you know, stars and all that.
6:09
Dayna Roselli: And uh we did have a few, a handful.
6:12
Sean McAllister: Yeah, two Michelin stars went to Restaurant de Joël Robuchon, that's over at MGM Grand.
6:18
Sean McAllister: One Michelin star went to Guy Savoy Restaurant over at Caesars Palace.
6:24
Sean McAllister: Also, é by José Andrés at the Cosmopolitan got uh two got a single star, along with L'Atelier by Joel Robuchon, uh also at MGM Grand.
6:37
Dayna Roselli: Okay, and then there was a bunch of nods.
6:38
Dayna Roselli: Um, but first we were chatting with someone who was saying, you know, these Michelin-starred restaurants, like a lot of people actually try to get a reservation at the restaurant first, then they book the trip around that.
6:48
Dayna Roselli: Instead of like booking your plane in hotel, like it's hard to get a reservation at some of these places.
6:53
Dayna Roselli: I don't know how it is here or how it will be, but um, it's a whole experience because you and I were saying we are not like first of all, I've not I've been in Las Vegas a long time.
7:03
Dayna Roselli: I may have been to one of the restaurants before, but you know, these are not I've sat in Guy Savoy.
7:09
Dayna Roselli: I don't think I ate there.
7:10
Dayna Roselli: I think I did an interview in there.
7:12
Sean McAllister: And well, one of the things that um that I thought was interesting that came out of that uh QA that we went to, they they kind of explained what the different stars and uh recognitions mean.
7:25
Sean McAllister: So one Michelin star means that if you're going to a city and they have a one Michelin star restaurant, you absolutely need to book it.
7:34
Sean McAllister: For two Michelin stars, if you're in the area, it's worth taking a detour and going to dine at that restaurant.
7:44
Sean McAllister: If it's three Michelin stars, that means that you should just plan on booking your entire trip around going to that specific restaurant.
7:54
Dayna Roselli: Interesting.
7:55
Sean McAllister: And then, of course, all the other uh recommended restaurants that they put out and the Bib Gourmand awards, those are just very highly recommended spots to put on your list.
8:07
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
8:07
Dayna Roselli: That'd probably be my list that I'd go to.
8:10
Dayna Roselli: You know what I mean?
8:11
Sean McAllister: Like for someone who's not uh super foodie, like a connoisseur of all the technique and the everything that goes into it that like a food writer would would dive into.
8:22
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
8:23
Dayna Roselli: I find it all very interesting, and I'm not saying I would turn it down or you know, wouldn't go, but I just feel like if I was seeking out, um, because what are these bib gourmands?
8:32
Dayna Roselli: They're like a just like kind of like a hats off kind of deal.
8:36
Sean McAllister: Yeah, that's um so there's the uh recommended restaurants that they put out, and the bib gourmand is kind of a step above the recommendation, but not quite to the star level.
8:49
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it was nice to see Esther's Kitchen and uh Yen on the list, both off strip restaurants.
8:56
Sean McAllister: Right.
8:57
Dayna Roselli: So uh Yen Viet Kitchen, that's on uh 3575 South Decatur Boulevard.
9:02
Dayna Roselli: Um, and then Esther's Kitchen on Main Street.
9:04
Dayna Roselli: We've always said that's always busy and packed and delicious, and then China Poblano at Cosmopolitan, that's been there for a while, and so they got the three bibs.
9:14
Sean McAllister: They got the three bibs, yes.
9:16
Sean McAllister: So uh then there's a whole list of recommended restaurants uh here in Las Vegas as well, uh, both on and off the Las Vegas strip.
9:28
Sean McAllister: So um uh be sure to check out the Michelin guide southwest to see where uh all of the restaurants landed.
9:37
Sean McAllister: It's a pretty lengthy list, so I'm not gonna really get into the recommended restaurants now.
9:41
Sean McAllister: Yeah.
9:42
Sean McAllister: Um, but it's definitely time, uh it's definitely worth your time to check out.
9:47
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, maybe I can link it in the show notes or something.
9:49
Dayna Roselli: I mean, there's some off strip, a lot on the strip.
9:52
Dayna Roselli: Sparrow and wolf is.
9:53
Dayna Roselli: People probably want to know.
9:58
Sean McAllister: All right, why not?
9:59
Dayna Roselli: All right.
9:59
Dayna Roselli: I'm gonna try my best with names.
10:02
Dayna Roselli: Is it Anima by EDO?
10:04
Dayna Roselli: We did the other EDO, the new one that opened on uh Paris.
10:07

10:10

10:49
Sean McAllister: Uh Ping Pang Pong.
10:51
Dayna Roselli: The Gold Coast.
10:51
Dayna Roselli: I've still never gone.
10:52
Dayna Roselli: Oh my gosh.
10:53
Dayna Roselli: We need to go.
10:54
Sean McAllister: We do need to go because every single time I drive by there, it's on their uh billboard.
10:59
Sean McAllister: They're just up there permanently.
11:01
Sean McAllister: Uh-huh.
11:01
Sean McAllister: Uh clearly for good reason because they're getting this recognition.
11:05
Sean McAllister: Uh-huh.
11:05
Sean McAllister: Uh Soul Belly Barbecue, that's on South Main Street, uh in the arts district downtown.
11:10
Sean McAllister: Sparrow and Wolf, also on Spring Mountain.
11:13
Sean McAllister: Stubborn Seed at Resorts World, and Wing Lei at Win Las Vegas.
11:18
Sean McAllister: So those are all the recommended restaurants.
11:20
Dayna Roselli: That's a good list.
11:21
Dayna Roselli: I like that.
11:22
Dayna Roselli: Um, I've actually been to a few of these, which is nice.
11:26
Sean McAllister: We were talking to a friend uh at the uh reception before the actual Michelin awards ceremony, uh, who said he never goes anywhere without uh checking out the Michelin guide.
11:38
Sean McAllister: Yeah, especially when traveling overseas.
11:41
Sean McAllister: Because he was like, you know what?
11:42
Sean McAllister: When you go to Asia or Europe, a lot of times your dollar goes further at the Michelin-starred restaurants overseas.
11:50
Sean McAllister: So if you are planning any uh trips abroad, that it's probably a good idea to check out those Michelin-starred restaurants.
11:59
Dayna Roselli: I love it.
11:59
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that's a good idea.
12:00
Dayna Roselli: I mean, it's I like a good guide, you know, just a simple, I feel like it's old school guide.
12:05
Sean McAllister: It is.
12:06
Sean McAllister: It is when you used to give me a booklet, take out the handy booklet, yes, you keep it in your travel attache.
12:12
Dayna Roselli: Give me the booklet.
12:13
Dayna Roselli: I like a good booklet.
12:15
Dayna Roselli: Um, okay, well, congratulations to everyone.
12:17
Dayna Roselli: You know, it's all about also we learned uh through the whole process, it's about consistency.
12:21
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
12:21
Dayna Roselli: So it's not, it's not one visit to one of these restaurants or can you have to be consistent in order to receive the recommendations, the stars, all that kind of thing.
12:30
Dayna Roselli: So congratulations to everyone.
12:31
Dayna Roselli: I know it's a lot of hard work.
12:32
Dayna Roselli: We've talked to chefs before who said, you know, it's it's a lot to keep your staff on point, to keep your stuff going exactly consistent every single day.
12:41
Dayna Roselli: It it's like hats off to you.
12:43
Sean McAllister: Well, and another interesting thing that we found out is that the uh Michelin awards uh stay with the restaurant and not necessarily the chef.
12:52
Dayna Roselli: Interesting too.
12:52
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that's yeah, that makes sense.
12:54
Sean McAllister: So I think when you, you know, when we talk about, oh, a Michelin starred chef, well, it's actually the restaurant that gets the star.
13:00
Dayna Roselli: Interesting.
13:01
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that makes sense.
13:02
Dayna Roselli: I'm ready to go to ping ping pong now.
13:04
Dayna Roselli: I'm hungry.
13:05
Sean McAllister: I know, I know.
13:06
Sean McAllister: Get some dumplings and everything else on the menu.
13:10
Dayna Roselli: All right.
13:10
Dayna Roselli: Well, you can now say I do high above the Las Vegas drip.
13:13
Dayna Roselli: We thought we'd mention this.
13:14
Dayna Roselli: A lot of our audio podcast listeners come in to either uh get married, do a little uh vow renewal.
13:21
Dayna Roselli: Sometimes they elope, even, you know?
13:23
Dayna Roselli: Um, so now the Hard Rock Cafe in Las Vegas, right there on the strip, has teamed up with this elopement Las Vegas, and they're offering weddings on the second and third floor outdoor patio.
13:33
Dayna Roselli: So keep that in mind.
13:34
Dayna Roselli: You get this sweeping strip view for the ceremony, they can customize the reception, and the space accommodates up to 55 guests.
13:42
Dayna Roselli: Felt like that was some good info to pass along.
13:44
Sean McAllister: Yeah, that's great info.
13:45
Sean McAllister: And if you like to, if you like to rock out, you can, you know, probably book a band to perform inside of their performance space too, depending on how elaborate you want to get with your reception.
13:56
Sean McAllister: Right.
13:56
Sean McAllister: Um, but yeah, lots of lots of packages over there, and it is a good spot.
14:01
Sean McAllister: It is.
14:02
Dayna Roselli: I'm I'm smiling because Sunday I had dinner over at my friend Denise Tresello's house.
14:08
Dayna Roselli: She's a very um experienced, excellent photographer for many years here in Las Vegas, works for Getty, and we were just chatting about how much we love Donnie Osmond.
14:19
Sean McAllister: You know, Donnie is one of those guys who he came up in the entertainment industry with a lot of entertainment greats who aren't with us anymore.
14:29
Sean McAllister: I know he had uh Dolly Parton, he had knew for years, Lucille Ball, you know, Donnie and Marie rubbed shoulder uh Andy Williams was where they really got their start, and where Donnie Osmond on the Andy Williams show made his debut when he was just a little kid.
14:45
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
14:45
Dayna Roselli: And then Denise and I were talking about how, because we watched the Michael movie, both of us separately, but we were chatting about how that time the Jackson 5 and the Osmonds were it.
14:54
Dayna Roselli: I mean, that and you forget about that.
14:56
Dayna Roselli: Like Donnie's got he's been around the block and succeeded and is still going.
15:01
Dayna Roselli: And he has a show at Hara's.
15:03
Dayna Roselli: And guess what, everyone?
15:04
Dayna Roselli: He's sticking around here in Las Vegas, and we were excited to hear this.
15:07
Dayna Roselli: He's got dates announced through June of 2027.
15:10
Dayna Roselli: Happy to hear it.
15:12
Sean McAllister: Absolutely.
15:12
Sean McAllister: And you mentioned the Jackson 5 coming up the same time as the Osmonds.
15:15
Sean McAllister: I think there's actually a clip in Donnie's show that shows a really iconic moment between uh Donnie and Michael Jackson at the American Music Awards back in the day.
15:25
Dayna Roselli: Right.
15:26
Sean McAllister: When they were both uh teenagers, I think.
15:28
Dayna Roselli: They were in like, yeah, they're family groups.
15:30
Sean McAllister: Yeah.
15:30
Dayna Roselli: You know, they were like, I guess was that what you'd call it?
15:32
Dayna Roselli: Because we call it boy bands.
15:33
Dayna Roselli: What about family groups?
15:34
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
15:34
Dayna Roselli: What do they call those?
15:35
Sean McAllister: And they had a friendship too, which is really cool.
15:38
Sean McAllister: So Donnie is great.
15:40
Sean McAllister: Um, the show has been long running.
15:43
Sean McAllister: It's a mix of music from across his career with a lot of his personality mixed in.
15:49
Sean McAllister: He even raps.
15:50
Dayna Roselli: Oh, it's great.
15:51
Sean McAllister: Which is great.
15:52
Dayna Roselli: I love his show.
15:52
Dayna Roselli: I love his original music.
15:54
Dayna Roselli: I love all of it.
15:55
Dayna Roselli: I love the cut he does some covers and then some of his old songs.
15:58
Dayna Roselli: But yeah, it's at Harris, by the way.
15:59
Dayna Roselli: I don't know if I mentioned that.
16:00
Dayna Roselli: Um gosh, he's celebrating five years at Harris.
16:02
Dayna Roselli: I feel like he's been there longer.
16:04
Dayna Roselli: I'm kind of actually shocked that it's only been five years.
16:07
Dayna Roselli: But I guess so.
16:08
Dayna Roselli: That's right.
16:10
Sean McAllister: 2021.
16:11
Sean McAllister: Yeah.
16:12
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, we were there when they came out.
16:13

16:17
Dayna Roselli: So go support Donnie Osman.
16:18
Dayna Roselli: He's a lot of fun.
16:19
Dayna Roselli: If you've never seen him, it is definitely worth it.
16:22
Sean McAllister: Hey, uh, Big Las Vegas First uh is coming to the sphere uh right around Mexican Independence Day weekend.
16:28
Sean McAllister: Carín León will become the first Latino artist to headline at the venue, which is a big deal.
16:35
Sean McAllister: And there was a lot of demand for his shows too.
16:38
Sean McAllister: I think they originally came out with three uh performance dates and then added some more.
16:45
Sean McAllister: Right.
16:45
Sean McAllister: Uh the Grammy winning Mexican stars performing uh a lot of his hits with and he's promising visuals and staging that has never been seen before in Spanish language music.
16:58
Dayna Roselli: It's gonna be really cool.
16:59
Dayna Roselli: I mean, even his press announcement was a big deal in visual.
17:02
Dayna Roselli: He had it in that win area on the back where you had the sphere behind him and the lights.
17:06
Dayna Roselli: So I'm looking forward to his show.
17:09

17:13
Dayna Roselli: It's Friday.
17:14
Dayna Roselli: Um, like Sean mentioned, they had to add shows because it was so popular.
17:18
Dayna Roselli: Um, and then um I did look online and I noticed that this weekend, if you're curious to go, there's some resale tickets and uh look like just like a couple little scattered, but it's a little bit cheaper than next weekend when really all the Mexican Independence Day events kick up and more people are coming in town just to celebrate the holiday.
17:39
Dayna Roselli: Um, so FYI, if you want to go, this might be the weekend.
17:44

17:58
Dayna Roselli: Uh, but he's got shows September 11th through the 19th, one of Sean and I's favorite shows.
18:03

18:16
Dayna Roselli: Mark's Square is gonna host um the traditional El Grito ceremony.
18:22

23:57
Sean McAllister: We did two different flyovers.
23:58
Dayna Roselli: Oh, yeah, that's right.
