• 1:23
  Sean McAllister: You don't really want to be out there and be like smacked with a tumbleweed rolling down the road.
• 1:29
  Dayna Roselli: You were saying that you were doing some yard work.
• 1:31
  Dayna Roselli: You were worried, huh?
• 1:32
  Sean McAllister: I was worried that a a palm branch from the neighbor's tree was gonna impale me.
• 1:38
  Dayna Roselli: We even had a full day of rain recently, though.
• 1:40
  Dayna Roselli: And then after that, it smelled so fresh and clean here.

  SPEAKER_04: It's like great.
• 1:44
  Dayna Roselli: It's been we've had like a variety of weather.
• 1:46
  Dayna Roselli: So um usually we kind of get this in April, but it's leaking over into May.
• 1:50
  Dayna Roselli: So, you know, as we say every year, the weather is changing, it seems like just slightly, but it's enough to affect your mind where you're like, wait, I don't really remember it being this windy in May.
• 2:02
  Dayna Roselli: Right or being this, you know, hot so early, or you know, things like that.
• 2:07
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, we've got a nice little array for you.
• 2:09
  Dayna Roselli: If you come in for a week, I'm sure you'll have a little bit of everything.

  Sean McAllister: Hey, we went to an event just recently at the Thriller Villa, and this is the estate where Michael Jackson lived for part of his time here in Las Vegas.
• 3:08
  Sean McAllister: It's also the estate that houses the Liberachi Foundation's collection of Liberacci memorabilia.
• 3:16
  Sean McAllister: So you have the legacy of Michael Jackson and Liberacci all under one roof.
• 3:21
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it's a lot of bling.
• 3:22
  Sean McAllister: It's a lot of bling.
• 3:24
  Sean McAllister: Candelabras, the whole nine.
• 3:26
  Dayna Roselli: It was really interesting.
• 3:27
  Dayna Roselli: I've never been there before.
• 3:28
  Dayna Roselli: So, and you know, I know Michael Jackson lived there for a short time.
• 3:30
  Dayna Roselli: I think he bopped around another place in Spanish Trail, maybe, but would love the history and going in there, you could tell why he chose that house for his, you know, time when he was in Las Vegas.
• 3:41
  Dayna Roselli: It just, it's very Michael Jackson.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_04: It is very much.
• 3:44
  Dayna Roselli: But uh, the party we went to was for a new event and catering company called Fortune Events.
• 3:50
  Dayna Roselli: And this was really fun.
• 3:52
  Dayna Roselli: It was like an immersive launch party, which I don't know if we mentioned on the audio podcast, maybe just on our social media, that we had this hand-delivered invitation and we were supposed to enter the portal of time.
• 4:03
  Dayna Roselli: And well, anyway, we get to the party, and that's exactly basically what we did.
• 4:08
  Dayna Roselli: We were transported through eras.
• 4:11
  Dayna Roselli: There were six distinct time periods.
• 4:13
  Dayna Roselli: There was an app that guided us through to different rooms, and there were photo opportunities and cocktails and uh dessert stations.
• 4:22
  Dayna Roselli: It was great.
• 4:22
  Sean McAllister: Well, in Fortune Events, this is made up of uh event veteran uh event coordinators and chefs from Las Vegas.
• 4:32
  Sean McAllister: They all have extensive backgrounds, but specifically the food, it was delicious.
• 4:39
  Sean McAllister: They had like a live fire uh sm smoke grill thing out there, which was really cool.
• 4:47
  Sean McAllister: The mac and cheese that was out there.
• 4:49
  Sean McAllister: I am picky with mac and cheese, and it was delicious.
• 4:53
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it was good.
• 4:53
  Dayna Roselli: They had a lot of the quesadilla and they made that fresh.
• 4:56
  Dayna Roselli: They were making everything, you know, right there on site.
• 4:58
  Sean McAllister: And they had a sushi robot making sushi.
• 5:02
  Dayna Roselli: It was really cool.
• 5:03
  Dayna Roselli: You're right.
• 5:04
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it was like something different in every the martini room.
• 5:08
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, different street stations all around.
• 5:10
  Dayna Roselli: It was really, really cool.
• 5:12
  Dayna Roselli: They're bringing a lot of innovation into this whole company, like just like I mentioned with the app, you know, like you look at the app, you go through the map.
• 5:20
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, so they know they're catering, they know their food, they know their drink, and then they also know their technology and events.
• 5:26
  Dayna Roselli: So it's like all coming together for this like new innovative company.
• 5:30
  Dayna Roselli: And listen, Las Vegas is based on events.
• 5:33
  Dayna Roselli: There is literally, we how many times do we sit here every week and scream when another invite comes?
• 5:39
  Sean McAllister: Well, I think just today.
• 5:40
  Sean McAllister: I think there were like seven or eight or nine.
• 5:44
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 5:45
  Dayna Roselli: We have a lot of events here in Las Vegas, a lot of things open, a lot of things are celebrated.
• 5:49
  Sean McAllister: And that's what this fortune events company.
• 5:51
  Sean McAllister: They're trying to raise the bar, give the event scene a glow up, if you will.
• 5:56
  Sean McAllister: Um, so they bring just their expertise to the the whole scene and are ready to, you know, do events in a new and innovative way.
• 6:07
  Sean McAllister: So if you need an event, if you're planning an event, call fortune events.
• 6:11
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and that thriller villa is really cool.
• 6:13
  Dayna Roselli: You said that they do private tours, or how do they do that?
• 6:16
  Dayna Roselli: Book appointments?
• 6:17
  Sean McAllister: If you uh look for the Liberachi Museum online, it's a private museum.
• 6:23
  Sean McAllister: Um the public can go, but you have to make an appointment and you know set up the whole deal.
• 6:28
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 6:28
  Sean McAllister: Um, it's really cool.
• 6:30
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 6:30
  Sean McAllister: And I'm told that they have uh so much.
• 6:35
  Sean McAllister: I I went years ago and I'm told that since I've been, they've uncovered more liberace artifacts and been able to attach more history to the artifacts that they have.
• 6:48
  Sean McAllister: So it's a really nice look into uh one of the premier entertainers in Las Vegas history.
• 6:56
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and when we went and interviewed Dita Vantis, the Queen of Burlesque, she's got a show over at the Venetian at Voltaire, she was talking about how she just loves that collection because she's so into Liberace and the past and how it has influence on her show and and all that.
• 7:12
  Dayna Roselli: And I recently went to her show Sunday night, Mother's Day, took mom there.
• 7:17
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, she came in for the weekend, and I just I don't know, like I guess like the night we went for the show, I loved it.
• 7:24
  Dayna Roselli: But you know, we were it was like a media night and we were all chatting and this and that.
• 7:27
  Dayna Roselli: And like that, like I felt like I really like sat down and paid attention.
• 7:32
  Dayna Roselli: And I just loved this show.
• 7:34
  Dayna Roselli: I just I was telling you, I was texting you, I'm like, this show just needs to stay forever.
• 7:38
  Sean McAllister: It does.
• 7:38
  Dayna Roselli: Dita's amazing, the costumes are amazing.
• 7:41
  Dayna Roselli: The the Voltaire, it's pretty big in there.
• 7:44
  Dayna Roselli: It's just stunning.
• 7:45
  Dayna Roselli: We say it all the time.
• 7:46
  Dayna Roselli: It's like definitely the most beautiful showroom in all of Las Vegas.
• 7:50
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it was packed and people were hooting and hollering when when Dita came out and whistling, but in a classy way, and people were it just supporting all the other dancers.
• 8:01
  Dayna Roselli: And I had such a good time.
• 8:03
  Dayna Roselli: My mom absolutely loved it.
• 8:04
  Dayna Roselli: Um, again, not a word spoken.
• 8:07
  Dayna Roselli: We've talked about this before, just music, costumes, themes, but it was a show.
• 8:12
  Dayna Roselli: It's such a show.
• 8:14
  Dayna Roselli: This is what Vegas is about, and I love it.
• 8:16
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm so excited that Dita extended her show and she's gonna be there at the Venetian for a while.
• 8:22
  Dayna Roselli: But I just I think she should just let it ride and be here for years and years and years.
• 8:27
  Dayna Roselli: I love it.
• 8:27
  Sean McAllister: I would support that wholeheartedly because it's burlesque, but it's really classy.
• 8:32
  Sean McAllister: It's a classy show where you could go like in a suit or a long gown and fit right in.
• 8:40
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, not be out of place.
• 8:42
  Sean McAllister: And same with like any kind of cocktail attire.
• 8:45
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it's just great.
• 8:46
  Sean McAllister: It's an occasion.
• 8:48
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 8:48
  Dayna Roselli: Uh you know, I love it.
• 8:49
  Dayna Roselli: There's there's guys in the show, there's women in the show, there's all shapes and sizes, all ethnicities.
• 8:55
  Dayna Roselli: It's just awesome.
• 8:56
  Dayna Roselli: It's just really cool.
• 8:57
  Dayna Roselli: I was there and then I saw the next day Josh Grobin was there when I was there.
• 9:01
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my god.
• 9:02
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, when I was there when he was there.
• 9:04
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, he's got a show over at Coliseum for the week.
• 9:06
  Dayna Roselli: It wasn't um, you know, it's not gonna continue on.
• 9:09
  Dayna Roselli: Well, as we we don't know just yet.
• 9:11
  Dayna Roselli: But Josh was doing a bunch of shows.
• 9:14
  Dayna Roselli: He might even still be here this week, possibly.
• 9:16
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I think so.
• 9:17
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, maybe.
• 9:17
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, at the Coliseum at Caesars Palace.
• 9:20
  Dayna Roselli: But Sunday night he went over to see Dita at nine o'clock.
• 9:22
  Dayna Roselli: So I thought that was cool and said he loved the show.
• 9:25
  Sean McAllister: And how could you not?
• 9:26
  Sean McAllister: And I love that it's performers, supporting performer there.
• 9:30
  Sean McAllister: Um, another show that's coming up this summer in July inside Voltaire, Seth McFarlane, who is an Emmy Award-winning entertainer.
• 9:41
  Sean McAllister: He's the voice of a lot of cartoons on the Fox Network.
• 9:45
  Sean McAllister: Um, he's also an incredible singer.
• 9:48
  Sean McAllister: He performed uh not too long ago at the Smith Center here in Las Vegas.
• 9:53
  Sean McAllister: Well, now he is coming back uh Thursday, July 3rd, Friday, July 4th, Saturday, July 5th with a 29-piece orchestra.
• 10:04
  Sean McAllister: In Voltaire.
• 10:04
  Sean McAllister: In Voltaire.
• 10:05
  Dayna Roselli: That's a first, right?
• 10:07
  Sean McAllister: Yes.
• 10:07
  Sean McAllister: That's gonna be like put on a tux and go have a classy night out.
• 10:12
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, I again, I just can't explain how beautiful that room is.
• 10:16
  Dayna Roselli: It's so beautiful if you've never been.
• 10:18
  Dayna Roselli: It's gonna be this is gonna be a stunning show.
• 10:21
  Sean McAllister: That is.
• 10:21
  Sean McAllister: That should be absolutely fantastic.
• 10:25
  Sean McAllister: Looking forward to that.
• 10:26
  Sean McAllister: Seth McFarlane coming up uh beginning of July at Voltaire.
• 10:29
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I always think when these artists, like when he walked in there to look at the room, he's probably like, How did I land this?
• 10:34
  Dayna Roselli: You know what I mean?
• 10:34
  Dayna Roselli: Not that, but like it's well, it's a literally a dream come true.
• 10:38
  Sean McAllister: And when you think about uh theaters that that people may go into across the country, a lot of them are probably older buildings, you know, so they have the ornate decor and everything, but they're older.
• 10:51
  Sean McAllister: When you walk into Voltaire, it is like fresh and new, it has like art deco vibes, but it's very modern.
• 10:59
  Sean McAllister: And it's just visually, it takes your breath away.
• 11:03
  Sean McAllister: It does.
• 11:03
  Dayna Roselli: It does.
• 11:04
  Dayna Roselli: It's a great, great room.
• 11:05
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but okay, so that was Mother's Day night.
• 11:08
  Dayna Roselli: So let's go through my weekend.
• 11:09
  Dayna Roselli: I staycationed at Fountain Blue with my mom.
• 11:13
  Dayna Roselli: She came in on Friday.
• 11:14
  Dayna Roselli: We stayed there Friday and Saturday night, had a blast.
• 11:17
  Dayna Roselli: My whole thing that this whole idea started because um I wanted to take my mom to see pit bull.
• 11:23
  Dayna Roselli: Now, and people are like, Your mom likes pitbull?
• 11:25
  Dayna Roselli: I'm like, yes, she does.
• 11:26
  Dayna Roselli: And we've talked about it before, and I know we always talk about my mom does her Zumba class, but that's just have to like connect the dots for you.
• 11:33
  Dayna Roselli: She does Zumba in Zumba, they do a lot of really fun songs and a lot of Pitbull songs.
• 11:39
  Dayna Roselli: So she's like, I love Pitbull.
• 11:40
  Dayna Roselli: She's through the years, she loves all this music.
• 11:43
  Dayna Roselli: So I was going to the show, got that all organized, um, got the tickets and everything.
• 11:49
  Dayna Roselli: But then a friend of mine who works amongst the crew over there said, Hey, um, have fun.
• 11:58
  Dayna Roselli: I started going to Pitbull.
• 11:59
  Dayna Roselli: I'm like, yes.
• 12:00
  Dayna Roselli: And then, and then I was like, Do you think my mom could meet Pitbull?
• 12:03
  Dayna Roselli: And he was like, Let me see what I can do.
• 12:06
  Dayna Roselli: And we made it happen.
• 12:07
  Sean McAllister: I love it.
• 12:08
  Dayna Roselli: So before the show, on May, it was the Saturday before Mother's Day, we went backstage and I got to introduce my mom to Pitbull.
• 12:16
  Dayna Roselli: And what a moment.
• 12:17
  Dayna Roselli: It was so great.
• 12:18
  Dayna Roselli: And I was laughing because she just acted so natural about him.
• 12:20
  Dayna Roselli: She was telling him stories about her Zumba.
• 12:22
  Dayna Roselli: But you know, he was so sweet.
• 12:23

  Dayna Roselli: Um, and so, first of all, the beds are so comfortable, the sheets are amazing, the pillows, uh, the robe, the amenities.
• 15:20
  Dayna Roselli: They smell so good.
• 15:21
  Dayna Roselli: I was like, oh, I couldn't wait to like wash my hair and use the shampoo and conditioner.
• 15:26
  Dayna Roselli: That was wonderful.
• 15:28
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, we had uh great commodations there, so that was nice.
• 15:31
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it was busy.
• 15:32
  Dayna Roselli: So again, just like last week, Vegas is not dead.
• 15:35
  Dayna Roselli: It wait, we had to wait a while for the elevator up and down to our room because people were taking turns going up and down to the pool, to the restaurants, up to the room.
• 15:43
  Dayna Roselli: And I thought, wow, this is incredible.
• 15:47
  Dayna Roselli: It is not like it's full, it's busy.
• 15:49
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, we went out to the pool and uh like 9:30 in the morning, it was hard to get a chair.
• 15:56
  Sean McAllister: So at 9 30?
• 15:57
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, happy to see it again.
• 15:59
  Dayna Roselli: I was like, this is amazing.
• 16:01
  Dayna Roselli: And it was great because it was a really warm weekend.
• 16:03
  Dayna Roselli: So it was already 84 degrees.
• 16:06
  Dayna Roselli: So everyone had the same idea.
• 16:08
  Dayna Roselli: But um, a tip, because I went there the weekend before and it was kind of the same deal.
• 16:12
  Dayna Roselli: Um, you go to this portion, you kind of turn the corner, and it's not, I'm not talking about Live Beach.
• 16:17
  Dayna Roselli: You just, it's out by Oasis Pool.
• 16:19
  Dayna Roselli: It's the 21 and over pool.
• 16:21
  Dayna Roselli: A lot of people kind of don't really know it's there or don't kind of turn the corner a little bit.
• 16:25
  Dayna Roselli: There's usually chairs there, super relaxing, a nice pool, waitresses, uh the whole nine.
• 16:31
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so that's an area that you can usually snag a lounge chair.
• 16:36
  Dayna Roselli: Then it starts to, you know, it's I think it's more like everyone rushes out and gets so nervous they're not gonna get a seat that they lay down a book, they lay down their towel, and they're there for a little bit, and then it it then there starts like movement.
• 16:50
  Sean McAllister: They filter out a little bit.
• 16:52
  Sean McAllister: Exactly.
• 16:52
  Dayna Roselli: So, um, but again, happy to see it.
• 16:54
  Dayna Roselli: It's a huge pool complex.
• 16:56
  Dayna Roselli: I saw you went to the Golden Knights game there.
• 16:59
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, we went, they had a watch party out there, and that was great.
• 17:02
  Sean McAllister: They had the big screen set up.
• 17:04
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.

  Dayna Roselli: Went to Don's Prime, had never been again, trying things that I haven't been to.

• 17:29
  Dayna Roselli: And we they all have like uh there's like the red room and they're different themed rooms, colored rooms, anyway, I should say.
• 17:35
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but they were just so nice in recommending what we should drink and what we should eat.
• 17:38
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, the Caesar salad was incredible, just all of it.
• 17:41
  Dayna Roselli: Don's prime can't like highly recommend.
• 17:43

• 17:47
  Dayna Roselli: So it was delicious.

  Dayna Roselli: Uh next night went to China Club.
• 17:52
  Dayna Roselli: That was incredible as well.
• 17:53
  Dayna Roselli: Now I'd been there before and I had duck because it was um kind of like uh they wanted us to try some of their signature things, and I know people love their duck.
• 18:01
  Dayna Roselli: Not my thing.
• 18:02
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, just don't love it.
• 18:04
  Dayna Roselli: So I was excited to go there and like order, you know, off the menu and some of the things that I I wanted to try.
• 18:11
  Dayna Roselli: The lemon chicken was absolutely delicious.
• 18:13
  Dayna Roselli: I can't even and they're great there because they'll be like, yeah, it's good, it's big enough for you and your mom to share.
• 18:18
  Dayna Roselli: You know, I love that.
• 18:19
  Sean McAllister: Like the nice when they point that out so that you're not over-ordering and end up with a whole bunch of stuff left over.
• 18:25
  Dayna Roselli: Right, exactly.
• 18:27
  Dayna Roselli: We had the fried rice with shrimp, amazing.
• 18:29
  Dayna Roselli: We had this like spinach and mushroom dish, so good.
• 18:33
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, beautiful in there.
• 18:34
  Dayna Roselli: I just, you know, it's just it's a great property for like I because I think I feel like every restaurant there is different.
• 18:42
  Dayna Roselli: It you know what I mean?
• 18:44
  Dayna Roselli: It doesn't feel repetitive.
• 18:45
  Dayna Roselli: There's like something for everyone.

  Dayna Roselli: So loved that.
• 18:48
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and we just had a great time.

  Dayna Roselli: I was due.
• 18:57
  Dayna Roselli: So that was really nice.
• 18:58
  Dayna Roselli: And my mom loved it, and it was so nice.
• 19:00
  Dayna Roselli: So it just everyone was so helpful when I was like, you know, and and just to, you know, we've had a tough year, our family.
• 19:06
  Dayna Roselli: I wanted my mom to come in and just do get get her mind off things, and people helped make that happen for me.
• 19:12
  Dayna Roselli: So I appreciate everyone.
• 19:13
  Dayna Roselli: And Vegas is a great community, we help each other out, and you know, like when I asked the favor, like, could she meet Pitbull?
• 19:20
  Dayna Roselli: I didn't think that was gonna come through.
• 19:23
  Dayna Roselli: And and then, like, you know, a couple weeks or three weeks later, I get this text, like, hey, and that like Billy didn't forget, he didn't forget to ask Armando, as he calls him, if he would meet my mom.
• 19:35
  Dayna Roselli: So it just was so special, and everyone really bent over backwards.
• 19:38
  Dayna Roselli: And so thanks to everyone.
• 19:39
  Dayna Roselli: But um, you know, I I just think it's great that the Fountain Blue is doing so much, and yeah, we'll be over there for the American Music Awards that's coming up on uh May 26th.
• 19:50
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, May 26th, and we've got uh new details that we've learned about uh the American Music Awards.
• 19:58
  Sean McAllister: I think last time we talked about it, we didn't even know that it was going to be at Fountain Blue, but now we're getting uh details about performers.
• 20:07
  Sean McAllister: Uh we and we know some of the awards that are being handed out.
• 20:10
  Sean McAllister: Janet Jackson, who of course has her residency over at Resorts World, is going to be receiving the Icon Award this year.
• 20:20
  Sean McAllister: So good on Janet.
• 20:21
  Dayna Roselli: I know, and she'll be doing shows at the same time at Resorts World.
• 20:24
  Dayna Roselli: So you could, you know, it's great because she'll get the award and then you could pop over and see her live.
• 20:29
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 20:30
  Dayna Roselli: And I think it said she's performing too.
• 20:31
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, she's going to perform.
• 20:32
  Dayna Roselli: So that'll be that'll be really good.
• 20:34
  Sean McAllister: I mean, when you're getting the icon award, you kind of have to perform.
• 20:37
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it's gonna be great.
• 20:38
  Sean McAllister: And show remind people just how iconic you are.
• 20:41
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 20:43
  Dayna Roselli: I love that.
• 20:43
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, she has shows at uh Resorts World through May 31st.
• 20:47
  Dayna Roselli: So, you know, that's really good for her, too.
• 20:50
  Dayna Roselli: Advertising to get people, if you haven't seen the show, you know, because she'll be there before and then after, like to go over and see her.
• 20:57
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 20:57
  Dayna Roselli: So it's like a good, it's a good little promotion for her.
• 21:00
  Dayna Roselli: I like that.
• 21:01
  Sean McAllister: And also uh a local organization, uh I shouldn't say local, a Vegas-based organization.
• 21:07
  Sean McAllister: They do stuff nationwide.
• 21:09
  Sean McAllister: Uh it's called the Easy Day Foundation.
• 21:11
  Sean McAllister: And what they do is they help uh members of the military transition into civilian life.
• 21:18
  Sean McAllister: There's a lot that goes into that.
• 21:20
  Sean McAllister: Uh, and they have a lot of partner organizations so that they can direct people for the needs that they uh specifically serve their life.
• 21:29
  Sean McAllister: Um but the easy day foundation has partnered with the American Music Awards to honor military members since the show is on Memorial Day.
• 21:37
  Sean McAllister: Uh that's an important part of uh what the broadcast is going to be.
• 21:42
  Sean McAllister: So they're going to have some special performances um for the Easy Day Foundation.
• 21:47
  Sean McAllister: Uh, there's going to be an award that's handed out to uh one of the music artists who has done a significant amount for members of the military throughout their career.
• 21:58
  Sean McAllister: So that's a really Nice, it's a nice tie-in, and I'm glad that the American Music Awards uh were able to come up with a partnership with Easy Day.
• 22:09
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and I know they're so excited about it.
• 22:12
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, we went over actually to Red Rock and we got a chance to talk with a couple of the founders, uh Frank Fertita and Landon Goulet.
• 22:21
  Dayna Roselli: And I had gone to a gala when they did the kickoff, and I thought, gosh, this is such a great organization.
• 22:26
  Dayna Roselli: You know, what have they been doing?
• 22:28
  Dayna Roselli: And they've been doing work, but they're like, you know, we've also been planning this.
• 22:33
  Dayna Roselli: It's been months and months and months of planning.
• 22:36
  Dayna Roselli: We're super excited that it's finally happening.
• 22:39
  Dayna Roselli: And so we talk to them a little bit about uh what we can expect.
• 22:44
  SPEAKER_01: Um, to send in donations and some calls to action.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_01: So uh we'll have two performances that are branded Easy Day performances.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_01: Um they'll be introduced by a veteran and a celebrity pair.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_01: Um the veterans will give a good story about, you know, um, some of the programs that they've been through and how they helped them.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_01: Um and then they'll introduce the artists, they'll perform, and then we'll have a QR code up on the screen for people to send in donations.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and we'll have two of those, and then we have for the very first time in AMA's history, we'll have um the veteran award that'll go to a celebrity or artist who's done the most impactful work for the veteran community.
• 23:25
  Dayna Roselli: I love this because sometimes award shows are are on key dates, like your Memorial Day.
• 23:29
  Dayna Roselli: You're like, well, that's weird.
• 23:30
  Dayna Roselli: This isn't a music award show, but it's on Memorial Day.
• 23:34
  Dayna Roselli: But bringing awareness to this cause on a day like this kind of gives it, gives the award show in itself more meaning, I guess.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_00: I I think for sure.
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_00: And I think that was one of the big reasons why, you know, the American Music Awards, this a 50-year franchise, you know, wanted to think about a way that they could create something that had more impact.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_00: And so I think, you know, when we started speaking with them and, you know, we put this idea together, we thought we could build kind of a modern award show where there is a reason to tune in that's not let's just give out awards to celebrities.
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_01: Jay Penske uh came to my office one day, who owns Penske Media, and and by extension, the the AMAs uh came to my office and we talked about this vision to turn Memorial Day into what it's meant to be, you know, not just a day for people to take off work and have a barbecue, but to really, you know, take a moment to think about the sacrifice that's been made to have the greatest country on the planet and uh understand why we have the freedom we have and pay some tribute to the people that have uh made it possible.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_00: So actually, that night of the event, a hundred percent of the donations are gonna go through to our partner orgs.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_00: And so if you're familiar with many charities, one of the big issues is there's some sort of loss, right?
• 24:49
  SPEAKER_00: When you give money to a charity, it doesn't make it all the way through.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_00: And so that night we're committed to get a hundred percent of those dollars into the partner orgs, so it's pretty incredible.
• 24:58
  Sean McAllister: So you'll see the Easy Day Foundation alongside uh the biggest stars in music coming up Memorial Day, Monday, May 26th, live from Fountain Blue.
• 25:10
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and my friend Andy Wamsley, he lives in Las Vegas, he's designing the set, so make sure you pay attention.
• 25:15
  Dayna Roselli: He's one of the best.
• 25:16
  Dayna Roselli: He has an Emmy, yeah.
• 25:19
  Dayna Roselli: For his American Idols uh award-winning um so he said the red carpet is really gonna be spectacular.
• 25:26
  Dayna Roselli: Looking forward to it.
• 25:27
  Sean McAllister: And we'll be there to uh chat with stars as they arrive, so we'll have that coverage for you.
• 25:32
  Sean McAllister: Uh coming up in early June.
• 25:35
  Dayna Roselli: We talked last week about how Sean went on a cruise and we said we would have those tips for you.
• 25:40
  Dayna Roselli: Um and what we mean by tips is Sean was like, hey, this is a really great quick.
• 25:46
  Dayna Roselli: Sometimes you don't have two weeks to go on vacation.
• 25:49
  Dayna Roselli: Not all of us have.
• 25:50
  Dayna Roselli: You know what I mean?
• 25:51
  Dayna Roselli: We can just jet off to Europe and all that.
• 25:53
  Dayna Roselli: So um it's a great, like if you live in Las Vegas or you live on the the West Coast or the western part of the United States, it's a good little four-day case.
• 26:03
  Sean McAllister: It was a four, we went on a four-day cruise, yeah.
• 26:05
  Dayna Roselli: Cruise, yeah, right out of the Los Angeles area.
• 26:08
  Sean McAllister: Oh yeah, out of the uh port at Long Beach.
• 26:11
  Sean McAllister: Um, and some of these cruises get a bad rap.
• 26:14
  Sean McAllister: You know, the we went on the Catalina and Ensenada uh cruise.
• 26:19
  Sean McAllister: So we stopped at Catalina Island, which is just off the coast of uh Los Angeles, California, and then bopped over to uh Ensenada, Mexico.
• 26:29
  Sean McAllister: Um and it was it was great.
• 26:32
  Sean McAllister: So, first of all, it was we sailed with Carnival, but the reason why we did is because they had a new ship.
• 26:39
  Sean McAllister: The ship that we were on is uh less than a year old.
• 26:42
  Sean McAllister: Um, and it's designed, it was designed for a European cruise company.
• 26:48
  Sean McAllister: Anyway, made its way over here to the US as part of Carnival's fleet, and inside it looks like the Venetian, it is just ornate and classy and not what immediately comes to mind when you think of a Carnival cruise.
• 27:04
  Sean McAllister: So I was like, you know what?
• 27:06
  Sean McAllister: I would love to go on this boat because it just does look so nice and it's different and it's just a nice feel, and it was, it was great.
• 27:16
  Sean McAllister: Um so Catalina was a great little stop for the day.
• 27:23
  Sean McAllister: We rode around on the we got a tandem bike, just rode around on the island, and that was great.
• 27:29
  Sean McAllister: Um, but when we got to Ensenada, we had spoken to somebody else who uh went on that trip recently, and they recommended a wine tasting room that's a few blocks away from it's like a 10-15 minute walk from the actual port.
• 27:47
  Sean McAllister: Bodegas de Santo Tomas is the name of the winery.
• 27:52
  Sean McAllister: They actually have a a vineyard that's uh I don't know, an hour or so south of of Ensenada.
• 27:59
  Sean McAllister: Uh but they have a tasting room right in the center of town where they used to do all of their wine production.
• 28:04
  Sean McAllister: So if you are a wine lover, I would recommend going to the Bodegas de Santo Tomas wine tasting room in right in the center of town.
• 28:17
  Sean McAllister: They have a whole plaza, there's all these restaurants uh uh surrounding it.
• 28:21
  Sean McAllister: It's a really cute area, and the wine was delicious.
• 28:26
  Sean McAllister: But the tip that I have about that is just go on your own.
• 28:31
  Sean McAllister: Don't book a don't book it through like a tour group because when we uh initially arrived, there was a big tour group that was in there doing just the little small little tasting.
• 28:43
  Sean McAllister: And uh so we waited for them to clear out and then we essentially had all the workers to ourselves, and it was like a VIP experience.
• 28:54
  Sean McAllister: So if you're thinking about an ensinata trip, and I just mentioned this to some of our some media colleagues here, and they were like, Oh my gosh, my sister's birthday is coming up.
• 29:04
  Sean McAllister: That would be a perfect thing for us to do.
• 29:06
  Dayna Roselli: Now, how easy was it to get to the cruise?
• 29:09
  Dayna Roselli: Like, tell me about that.
• 29:10
  Dayna Roselli: Like, if you're driving in, if everyone's someone's like, I want to do that cruise, what did you drive in?
• 29:14
  Dayna Roselli: Is there a place to park?
• 29:15
  Sean McAllister: Oh, yeah, they've got a cruise affordable.
• 29:17
  Sean McAllister: I mean, I think it was$349 for four days.
• 29:22
  SPEAKER_04: Great.
• 29:23
  Sean McAllister: Um, so that's that's great.
• 29:25
  Sean McAllister: Uh, it's an easy drive to Long Beach from Las Vegas.
• 29:30
  Sean McAllister: They have a uh parking garage right there at the port.
• 29:34
  Sean McAllister: Great.
• 29:34
  Sean McAllister: So you park, you like walk down outside of the uh parking garage and you walk right into the port building.
• 29:43
  Dayna Roselli: Great, nice and easy.
• 29:44
  Sean McAllister: So then you load in and getting off the ship, we got off the boat, walked right to the elevator to the parking garage, and drove home.
• 29:54
  Sean McAllister: Awesome.
• 29:54
  Dayna Roselli: See, that's great.
• 29:55
  Dayna Roselli: And you said there were a lot of Vegas people on the ship, right?
• 29:58
  Dayna Roselli: There were.
• 29:58
  Sean McAllister: We watched a golden nights game, yeah, with everyone, right?
• 30:01
  Dayna Roselli: And they were like cheering, and that's a lot of fun.
• 30:03
  Sean McAllister: Well, it's just an easy, it's easy to get down to Long Beach.
• 30:07
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it's an easy four-day cruise.
• 30:10
  Sean McAllister: A lot of people didn't even get off the ship, they just enjoyed everything that was on the ship.
• 30:15
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 30:16
  Sean McAllister: Um but it was it was easy.
• 30:18
  Sean McAllister: It's a good little break.
• 30:20
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, okay, good, good to know.
• 30:22
  Dayna Roselli: So there you go.
• 30:24
  Dayna Roselli: You know, we always talk about coming to Las Vegas, but if you live in Las Vegas, you live on the West Coast, you might want to go do a cruise.
• 30:30
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, good little uh trip ideas we like to pass along.
• 30:33
  Dayna Roselli: Definitely.
• 30:34
  Dayna Roselli: All right, well, we have more tips for you.
• 30:36
  Dayna Roselli: Let's do them.
• 30:40
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, let's talk about the stage door.
• 30:43
  Dayna Roselli: I am a terrible Vegas insider.
• 30:45
  Dayna Roselli: When I tell you I didn't know it existed.
• 30:47
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know how I missed this, but I was showing you.
• 30:50
  Dayna Roselli: I said, hey, my friend was coming to Vegas and showed this place that has like dollar bud lights and stuff.
• 30:57
  Dayna Roselli: And you were like, oh yeah, it's a stage.
• 30:59
  Dayna Roselli: I didn't even know it existed.
• 31:01
  Dayna Roselli: So tell me about the stage door casino.
• 31:05
  Sean McAllister: So the stage door is kind of tucked back uh behind the Cromwell.
• 31:11
  Sean McAllister: So right there at Flamingo and uh Las Vegas Boulevard.
• 31:16
  Sean McAllister: Flamingo and Las Vegas Boulevard, right next door to Batista's Hole in the Wall.
• 31:20
  Sean McAllister: Okay, I do.
• 31:20
  Sean McAllister: Which is like an institution.
• 31:23
  Sean McAllister: It's an Italian restaurant that's been here forever.
• 31:25
  Sean McAllister: Well, the stage door has also kind of been here forever.
• 31:28
  Dayna Roselli: It's wait, isn't that more behind?
• 31:30
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, yeah, you're right.
• 31:31
  Dayna Roselli: Flamingo and Cromwell.
• 31:32
  Dayna Roselli: Right, okay, yes.
• 31:33
  Dayna Roselli: Yep, so north of, I was gonna say Bailey's and it's horseshoe.
• 31:36
  Sean McAllister: Uh right, just across the street from the horseshoe.
• 31:38
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, okay, got it.
• 31:39
  Sean McAllister: So the stage door has been there since uh the mid-70s.
• 31:43
  Sean McAllister: Um, it's a convenience store, it's a bar, and a casino?
• 31:49
  Sean McAllister: We must have table, like they have uh like bar top gaming in there.
• 31:53
  Sean McAllister: It's everything.
• 31:54
  Dayna Roselli: I didn't even know this was here.
• 31:56
  Dayna Roselli: Like, how did I miss this?
• 31:57
  Dayna Roselli: And they I go to Batista's home all the time.
• 32:00
