  Dayna Roselli: Special Mother's Day.
• 3:27
  Dayna Roselli: Well, listen, we went to see Mary J Blige at Park MGM, Dolby Live, and uh, I think we thought we were gonna love it, and then but sometimes you go in and you think that, and you're like, oh, it was it was good.
• 3:40
  Dayna Roselli: This was fantastic, amazing.
• 3:43
  Sean McAllister: So Mary J obviously has such an incredible career.
• 3:48
  Sean McAllister: She has so many hits that when you go to one of her shows and she starts going through her her repertoire of music, you're like, damn, Mary is on fire.
• 4:01
  Sean McAllister: She's got hit after hit after hit.
• 4:04
  Sean McAllister: She owns the stage, she owns the audience.
• 4:08
  Sean McAllister: She was fantastic.
• 4:11
  Dayna Roselli: And I felt like the audience was great.
• 4:13
  Dayna Roselli: It was like, because actually, someone commented on our TikTok, like, how was the audience?
• 4:17
  Dayna Roselli: Like, was it chaos?
• 4:18
  Dayna Roselli: I'm like, no, people just had a good time, but everyone behaved.
• 4:22
  Dayna Roselli: They were standing up and singing the words and dancing around, and other people chose to sit for some of it.
• 4:28
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it was like a great metered crowd just there to have fun and celebrate her music.
• 4:34
  Sean McAllister: But you could tell, uh, especially in our section, because you could really see the reaction of people up close.
• 4:42
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, you could tell that when certain songs came on, it brought people back to a certain time in their life.
• 4:51
  Sean McAllister: And a lot of people came with big groups with bunches of friends.
• 4:55
  Sean McAllister: So they were we there was an aisle right in front of us, and so people were up in their seats, they were running a few seats down to their friend, dancing with them.
• 5:05
  Sean McAllister: Their friend would come running over a few songs later, be dancing in the aisles.
• 5:10
  Sean McAllister: It was, I mean, the way that the crowd responded to the music and to Mary up on stage, go Mary, go Mary, go Mary.
• 5:20
  Sean McAllister: So good.
• 5:21
  Dayna Roselli: And I love that.
• 5:22
  Dayna Roselli: Um I this is a side note.
• 5:26
  Dayna Roselli: I love that Park MGM always does like a little photo area.
• 5:30
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 5:31
  Dayna Roselli: In the as you walk up, you know, in that area after the lobby.
• 5:35
  Dayna Roselli: They have like that big chair that Mary sat in in the show.
• 5:38
  Dayna Roselli: And I was watching just for what you were saying, big groups of people come and all say, like, you take your turn, you take your turn, and take pictures, you know, in that area.
• 5:47
  Dayna Roselli: They do it for every show, no matter what.
• 5:48
  Dayna Roselli: New kids has one.
• 5:49
  Dayna Roselli: There was a Mariah.
• 5:50
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, they always, I love that.
• 5:52
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but anyway, back to the show.
• 5:54
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, Method Man joined her on stage.
• 5:56
  Dayna Roselli: That was a surprise, and that was awesome.
• 5:58
  Dayna Roselli: Everyone was going crazy for that.
• 5:59
  Dayna Roselli: So we knew, we said, you know what?
• 6:01
  Dayna Roselli: This show has to have more dates because she's back this weekend and then she's coming back for a few dates in July.
• 6:07
  Dayna Roselli: And then breaking news, she has added shows in August, August 28th and 29th, September, the 2nd, 5th, and 6th, and October 23rd, 24th, 28th, 30, and 31.
• 6:19
  Dayna Roselli: We had a feeling that would happen.
• 6:20
  Sean McAllister: And I would not be the least bit shocked if she adds even more dates beyond fall of this year, because this is one of those shows that I I think is gonna keep like gaining more traction and having more buzz, more word of mouth.
• 6:40
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 6:40
  Sean McAllister: And just the thing that I love about Mary J.
• 6:44
  Sean McAllister: Blige is that she is unapologetically herself.
• 6:48
  Dayna Roselli: She really is.
• 6:48
  Sean McAllister: She is like, she gets up there, she's like, hey, world, this is me.
• 6:54
  Sean McAllister: Take me or leave me.
• 6:55
  Sean McAllister: I'm doing my thing, whether you like it or not.
• 6:58
  Sean McAllister: I hope you do.
• 6:59
  Sean McAllister: Come along for the ride because we're gonna have fun.
• 7:01
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 7:02
  Sean McAllister: But this is what it is.
• 7:04
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 7:04
  Sean McAllister: And I and she's amazing.
• 7:07
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 7:07
  Dayna Roselli: Real and her outfits were on point.
• 7:10
  Dayna Roselli: She put on a show.
• 7:11
  Dayna Roselli: The dancers were incredible, and a lot of them from Las Vegas love that she used Las Vegas dancers.
• 7:17
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I see all the dancers kind of cheering each other on in our posts, tagging, like, oh, that's that's so and so, that's so and so.
• 7:23
  Dayna Roselli: I just love it.
• 7:24
  Dayna Roselli: I love the camaraderie, all of it.
• 7:25
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I mean, really, really great show.
• 7:28
  Sean McAllister: If you have a chance to go and see Mary J.
• 7:31
  Sean McAllister: Blige again, she's back this summer uh with shows into the fall through uh the end of October.
• 7:38
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and she's from the Bronx.
• 7:39
  Dayna Roselli: I was telling my mom's from the Bronx.
• 7:40
  Dayna Roselli: I said, Hey mom, Mary J's from the Bronx.
• 7:42
  Dayna Roselli: I said, Oh, because I was looking at the Wikipedia.
• 7:44
  Dayna Roselli: I was like, She was born at Fordham Hospital.
• 7:46
  Dayna Roselli: My mom's like, I think I was born there too.
• 7:48
  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, Oh, see, I have Mary J in my blood.
• 7:53
  Dayna Roselli: But um, it just a lot of people, you know, from that area that we've been seeing lately, like Cindy Lopper was saying, you know, she's from Brooklyn.
• 8:00
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 8:00
  Dayna Roselli: And then we saw someone recently from Long Island.
• 8:02
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, there's just, you know, everyone's kind of comes from the East Coast and has so much success out here and love to see them performing out west here in Las Vegas.
• 8:12
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I did go to Best Friend at Park MGM after, and I've done this a few times, and I just I haven't been able to really talk about how I love that front bar area.
• 8:21
  Dayna Roselli: It is great for after shows because a lot of people lined up to go to on the record for the after party, but next to it is best friend, which is a restaurant, which is delicious, Korean food.
• 8:33
  Dayna Roselli: And the front bar area is not a part of the main dining room, and they have a great menu.
• 8:39
  Dayna Roselli: I think they had IPAs, I think Sean, for thirteen or thirteen dollars on the menu.
• 8:44
  Sean McAllister: That's not bad.
• 8:44
  Dayna Roselli: No, it was good and a lot of different cocktails, but it's fun because some people go from like the shows.
• 8:49
  Dayna Roselli: And so, like, we were sitting at the bar, like, you know, doing our like, you know, post-show recap with a bunch of strangers, you know, we were all talking about our favorite parts and and the bartenders, they're great.
• 9:00
  Dayna Roselli: They're into it, you know, they're recommending drinks, and we were like, oh, we want a little something.
• 9:05
  Dayna Roselli: The tacos are amazing on the bar menu, absolutely amazing.
• 9:08
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but he recommended this bowl and brought it out.
• 9:10
  Dayna Roselli: He was like, Don't even, I know exactly what you want, and brought out, didn't even like question, just brought us out this bowl.
• 9:18
  Dayna Roselli: And I don't even know what was in there.
• 9:19
  Dayna Roselli: It was like a mango and rice and big chunks of beef and an egg on top.
• 9:23
  Dayna Roselli: It was delicious.
• 9:24
  Sean McAllister: That sounds good.
• 9:25
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 9:25
  Dayna Roselli: And then at the end of the night, we closed the place down.
• 9:28
  Dayna Roselli: Um, he actually cracked open two beers for us and was like, you know, you're here and the last one's here.
• 9:33
  Dayna Roselli: Here you go.
• 9:33
  Dayna Roselli: But it's a fun vibe and uh affordable in the bar area and a nice little hang.
• 9:38
  Dayna Roselli: So if you get the chance, I went to the restroom and I walked into the main dining room and I was like, wow, it's kind of like dark in there and full, full of people.
• 9:45
  Dayna Roselli: It's definitely a good vibe in there.
• 9:46
  Sean McAllister: It is.
• 9:47
  Sean McAllister: I've had dinner there before.
• 9:48
  Sean McAllister: It's been a couple years now.
• 9:50
  Sean McAllister: Um, but Roy Choi is the chef, yeah.
• 9:53
  Sean McAllister: And he's very well known for his kind of uh his take on street food, yeah.
• 10:00
  Sean McAllister: Really, yeah, uh, from LA.
• 10:02
  Sean McAllister: And so he brought that here with best friend.
• 10:05
  Sean McAllister: And but I haven't gone to uh hang out at the bar area.
• 10:08
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I'm gonna have to put that on my list.
• 10:09
  Dayna Roselli: They have some high tops and then bar seats, and it's full enough, but never like so crazy that you can't get a seat, which is great.
• 10:17
  Dayna Roselli: And so I love it, it's just it's nice.
• 10:20
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so anyway, we had a great time at Mary J.
• 10:23
  Dayna Roselli: Blige.
• 10:23
  Dayna Roselli: Um wonderful at Park MGM.
• 10:25
  Dayna Roselli: Go see her.
• 10:27
  Sean McAllister: Hey, uh, we have some other show news.
• 10:29
  Sean McAllister: Broadway is coming back to the Las Vegas strip.
• 10:32
  Sean McAllister: Over the years, we have seen uh Broadway shows set up residency runs most recently.
• 10:38
  Sean McAllister: The show Six, um which is still playing on Broadway, uh played at the Venetian.
• 10:44
  Sean McAllister: Um over the years, Phantom of the Opera uh opened in the Venetian theater.
• 10:50
  Sean McAllister: It was built specifically for that production.
• 10:52
  Sean McAllister: Avenue Q did a run at uh The Win back in the day.
• 10:57
  Sean McAllister: Spam a lot has been here, the producers have been here over the years, but now we're getting uh two more shows, both over at the Venetian.
• 11:05
  Sean McAllister: Uh Mrs.
• 11:06
  Sean McAllister: Doubtfire, which is hilarious Broadway comedy.
• 11:11
  Sean McAllister: Hello! So funny, and also the Book of Mormon.
• 11:16
  Sean McAllister: So popular, both coming here.
• 11:17
  Sean McAllister: Um, the Book of Mormon, by the way, just in uh their theater on Broadway had a fire on the roof.
• 11:23
  Sean McAllister: Oh boy, and now the theater is like shut down for repairs indefinitely.
• 11:27
  Sean McAllister: So come see uh the Book of Mormon and Mrs.
• 11:32
  Sean McAllister: Doubtfire here.
• 11:33
  Sean McAllister: Mrs.
• 11:33
  Sean McAllister: Doubtfire is in July and August.
• 11:36
  Sean McAllister: Book of Mormon is coming up in November.
• 11:39
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 11:39
  Dayna Roselli: Uh tickets are available at VenetianLosvegas.com.
• 11:43
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, what's the show that um at Venetian too that Mark Chinook was in uh for a long time?
• 11:47
  Dayna Roselli: Rock of Ages.
• 11:48
  Dayna Roselli: Rock of Ages was there for a long time, right?
• 11:50
  Sean McAllister: It was.
• 11:51
  Dayna Roselli: And then of course uh Jersey Boys down the road at Paris was there for a very long time, too.
• 11:55
  Dayna Roselli: So there have been Broadway shows, like you said, that have been successful here.
• 11:58
  Dayna Roselli: And so I think this is a great idea.
• 12:00
  Dayna Roselli: And for that theater, they're excited to put it in the Venetian theater in the press release I was reading because it's such a prestige theater and perfect for something like that.
• 12:08
  Sean McAllister: It is.
• 12:08
  Sean McAllister: I I absolutely love that theater, and for this type of uh production, it fits perfectly on that stage.
• 12:15
  Sean McAllister: I'm excited for both of these.
• 12:16
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 12:17
  Sean McAllister: I've seen Book of Mormon a few times.
• 12:19
  Sean McAllister: I would go back 10 more.
• 12:20
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it looks good.
• 12:21
  Dayna Roselli: I was looking at the trailer, we were editing it in the TV show, and I was like, I have not seen Book of Mormon yet.

• 15:53
  Sean McAllister: But you know, Dana, uh one business that's not gonna be jumping for a sponsorship is Spirit Airlines.
• 16:00
  unknown: Yeah.
• 16:00
  Sean McAllister: This is a really a tough story because uh aside from the travelers who have been impacted by this, there are thousands of employees who have suddenly found themselves out of work because on a on a whim, seemingly, Spirit Airlines announced it was just shutting down.
• 16:19
  Dayna Roselli: It was so sudden, right?
• 16:20
  Sean McAllister: Really sudden.
• 16:21
  Dayna Roselli: I liked Spirit too.
• 16:22
  Dayna Roselli: People gave it for quick regional trips.
• 16:25
  Sean McAllister: It's it was not a bad airline.
• 16:27
  Dayna Roselli: No, and I felt like the planes were newer and it was fine.
• 16:31
  Dayna Roselli: And they did a lot of nonstops.
• 16:33
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 16:33
  Dayna Roselli: I thought our airport handled it really well, was good about putting information out.
• 16:36
  Dayna Roselli: Cause it was when I got home from Mary J Friday night that I saw it late, because I got home late, like one in the morning.
• 16:42
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and I was like, wow, what is the airport posting?
• 16:46
  Dayna Roselli: And I thought, wow, they're on it.
• 16:48
  Dayna Roselli: So it was good, you know, communication.
• 16:50
  Dayna Roselli: It's it's a tough spot.
• 16:51
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it's not their fault, the airports, but they got to communicate.
• 16:54
  Dayna Roselli: Here's some other options, here's other airlines you can take.
• 16:56
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and I think that I saw um almost a thousand employees at the Las Vegas airport were Spirit Airlines employees.
• 17:05
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 17:06
  Dayna Roselli: Man, that's a tough one.
• 17:07
  Dayna Roselli: Ugh, so many people out of work, you know.
• 17:09
  Dayna Roselli: Hopefully they'll find other jobs.
• 17:11
  Dayna Roselli: Um speaking of, by the way, remember we talked about um Southwest adding that other Hawaii flight to Hawaii.
• 17:20
  Sean McAllister: There was Kona and Maui, I believe, right?
• 17:23
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, but they're adding Hilo.
• 17:24
  Dayna Roselli: Hilo.
• 17:25
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 17:25
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, yeah.
• 17:26
  Sean McAllister: That's on the Big Island, right.
• 17:27
  Dayna Roselli: We just did that.
• 17:28
  Dayna Roselli: Um, we just had someone comment on our YouTube, by the way, that said, this is amazing.
• 17:32
  Dayna Roselli: It's gonna save me, I forget, six hours because now I don't have to fly to Honolulu to get the connection.
• 17:39
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 17:40
  Dayna Roselli: So I was like, oh, good.
• 17:41
  Dayna Roselli: I love to hear the positive feedback about that.
• 17:43
  Sean McAllister: And apparently, I actually just saw something on this today, too.
• 17:47
  Sean McAllister: Uh uh Southwest is strengthening its rewards program for inter-island flights in Hawaii.
• 17:57
  Sean McAllister: So uh if you're island hopping, uh they're encouraging uh people to do that with their and sign up for their rewards program because they're um really trying to boost that uh service.
• 18:10
  Sean McAllister: Because of course Hawaiian Airlines was bought out and taken over by Alaska Airlines, and that has officially gone through.
• 18:18
  Sean McAllister: And I I talked with someone recently who flies Hawaiian regularly, and they're like, uh, I'm already noticing differences because Hawaiian had its own had its own spirit, its own aloha.
• 18:34
  Dayna Roselli: Right, you know, not spirit.
• 18:36
  Dayna Roselli: Now you're gonna know.
• 18:39
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 18:40
  Dayna Roselli: No, I know what you mean.
• 18:41
  Dayna Roselli: Listen, the flights, the experience, it's all part of your trip, and it's important.
• 18:46
  Sean McAllister: It is.
• 18:46
  Sean McAllister: So I have flown southwest uh to Hawaii a few times.
• 18:51
  Dayna Roselli: We took a flight together, you and I to Maui.
• 18:53
  Dayna Roselli: Yep, it was great.
• 18:54
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, you're right, it was wonderful.
• 18:55
  Sean McAllister: You have new planes.
• 18:57
  Dayna Roselli: Remember, I spilled that big coffee on the God.
• 19:02
  Dayna Roselli: We were it took forever to get our coffee.
• 19:04
  Dayna Roselli: We were like running running to the gate.
• 19:07
  Dayna Roselli: Oh no, and it like fell all over me.
• 19:09
  Dayna Roselli: It was horrible.
• 19:10
  Sean McAllister: Like as we were trying to scan our boarding passes to get onto the jetway.
• 19:14
  Dayna Roselli: I felt like I was in a sitcom, like it was an episode of Friends.
• 19:22
  Dayna Roselli: That was horrible.
• 19:24
  Dayna Roselli: It was mortifying.
• 19:25
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway.
• 19:26
  Sean McAllister: The lid wasn't, but to your the lid was not put on properly.
• 19:32
  Dayna Roselli: No, and when you've got a lot of things in your hand, it's hard.
• 19:36
  Dayna Roselli: Somebody needs to make something that's easier to just like that has a lot of different pockets to slide things in, like a crossbody bag with just tons of different with room for everything, so that you don't have to put things in your hand.
• 19:48
  Dayna Roselli: Well, it can't have room for my coffee, but I wanted two hands on my coffee.
• 19:52
  Dayna Roselli: Instead, you gotta have this in one hand and that and the pass and your phone and pulling out your license.
• 19:57
  Sean McAllister: I wonder if there's something that you take the lid off of your Starbucks cup, put it into like a holder cup that has its own lid that has a neck strap on it.
• 20:10
  Sean McAllister: So it's almost like the yardstick margaritas down on the strip.
• 20:14
  Sean McAllister: But then when you're going through the airport, you just have your coffee in a sealed container with a straw so that it's hanging around your neck, your hands are free, so that you can have your boarding pass, you can wheel your luggage, but you still have your coffee drink right there.
• 20:30
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, something like that.
• 20:32
  Dayna Roselli: Don't give away all your ideas.
• 20:34
  Dayna Roselli: Trademark that.
• 20:35
  Sean McAllister: Oh, I think we can get our trademark friends on the line.
• 20:39
  Dayna Roselli: Well, you know what is easy?
• 20:41
  Dayna Roselli: Getting married here in Las Vegas.
• 20:43
  Dayna Roselli: We make it easy.
• 20:44
  Dayna Roselli: We are the wedding capital of the world.
• 20:47
  Dayna Roselli: In case you didn't know, we're a lot of things here in Las Vegas, and that's one of them.
• 20:52
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and we know a lot of locals choose to get married here.
• 20:55
  Dayna Roselli: We know people come in from all over the world to get married here.
• 20:59
  Dayna Roselli: And why?
• 21:00
  Dayna Roselli: Well, because getting a marriage license is easy.
• 21:04
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I can vouch for that.
• 21:05
  Sean McAllister: It is, it's very easy.
• 21:07
  Sean McAllister: And you know, you may not realize this, but Las Vegas became the wedding capital of the world, received that name anyhow, uh almost 75 years ago.
• 21:18
  Sean McAllister: That's when a newspaper in London actually declared that.
• 21:24
  Sean McAllister: They said, Hey, Las Vegas is the wedding capital of the world.
• 21:27
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 21:27
  Dayna Roselli: I think they call it the marriage capital.
• 21:29
  Dayna Roselli: And then we kind of did a twist on that, right?
• 21:31
  Dayna Roselli: And the headlines there, they had it at the 70th anniversary.
• 21:34
  Dayna Roselli: And we're like, oh wow, this is the actual article.
• 21:36
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 21:37
  Dayna Roselli: So interesting.
• 21:38
  Dayna Roselli: Um, well, to this day, the title sticks because, as we said, we make it easy here to tie the knot.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_02: What's so funny to me is that uh we do a survey, put a post survey to all the couples and say, you know, what was the number one reason you came to Las Vegas?
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_02: And the number one thing that comes up is the ease of getting the license.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_02: We're open eight to midnight, three hundred and sixty five days a year.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_02: And you wouldn't think that would be the most attractive thing because we have so much else to offer, but that's the number one thing that people cite.
• 22:06
  Dayna Roselli: And that was Lynn Goya, the Clark County Clerk.
• 22:09
  Dayna Roselli: We recently had a chat with her and got an update on everything weddings.
• 22:13
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, Sean, I was just thinking, uh, I wanted to bring up though, also people get married here and then have some the reception somewhere else.
• 22:21
  Dayna Roselli: Because I know you went to a Las Vegas wedding for Mark and Casey.
• 22:24
  Sean McAllister: Yes.
• 22:24
  Dayna Roselli: While they actually did their marriage here and got their license and actually were married here, but then they had their destination wedding in Napa.
• 22:34
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 22:34
  Sean McAllister: They did a uh, you know, the a very small uh Vegas wedding at the Little White Wedding Chapel, and then you know, had their big wedding, like you said, up in um Northern California.
• 22:45
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 22:46
  Sean McAllister: The big ceremony, the big reception.
• 22:49
  Dayna Roselli: Right, because they had people coming in from all over, and and that's where in Napa they had met, right?
• 22:54
  Dayna Roselli: Or something there was a connection there.
• 22:56
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 22:56
  Dayna Roselli: So but but people are doing like the wedding here.
• 23:00
  Dayna Roselli: I know someone who just did the same thing.
• 23:01
  Dayna Roselli: It's like they're having their wedding with all their family in Michigan in a year, but they wanted to get married now.
• 23:07
  Dayna Roselli: So they went to one of our chapels, did the whole thing, did a fun weekend, stayed at Resorts World.
• 23:13
  Dayna Roselli: And so I love that for us here as locals too.
• 23:16
  Sean McAllister: Which is a really convenient and affordable way to do it.
• 23:21
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 23:22
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, listen, the Vegas experience is really unmatched, and really it's been that way since our city was founded.
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_02: Las Vegas has been a wedding destination and a wedding hotspot really since it was founded in 1909.
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_02: And so we had standalone chapels.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_02: The flamingo opened with a chapel, and so this is part of our DNA.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_02: When you call a chapel or when you call a hotel and say you want to book a wedding, we have wedding planners built into it, so you don't have to hire a separate wedding planner.
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_02: That's part of what we do to make the wedding of your dreams come true.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_02: Basically, the blue promise that you can't get them in another place in the world.
• 23:58
  Dayna Roselli: Do you see a lot of ups and downs, or is it mostly up and occasionally we have a dip?
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_02: You know, there are outside influences that you really don't have control over.
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_02: There were three receptions in the last decade.
• 24:09
  SPEAKER_02: You know, obviously it impacts us as well as the couples themselves.
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, we try to recover from that and make sure that the value is still there for everybody.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_02: Some people decide on a whim.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_02: Some people do decide on the whim.
• 24:21
  SPEAKER_02: And what we're seeing lately is a lot of people are coming for conventions and they go, Well, we're already coming to Las Vegas for a convention.
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_02: My friends are here, all I have to do is get my family here, and we can just do a wedding on the spur of the moment or ahead of time, but during those same locations.
• 24:39
  SPEAKER_02: So they're already getting their room paid for.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_02: Let's let's get married.
• 24:43
  Dayna Roselli: That's right.
• 24:44
  Dayna Roselli: Take advantage of those convention trips and work trips.
• 24:47
  Sean McAllister: I guess so.
• 24:48
  Sean McAllister: I I guess I didn't realize so many people took advantage of the work trips to tie the knot.
• 24:53
  Dayna Roselli: Smart.
• 24:54
  Sean McAllister: It is smart.
• 24:55
  Sean McAllister: If work is paying the bill for your trip out here, may as well just add some add some perks in there.
• 25:02
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and in the conversation with Lynn, we were also chatting about the younger generation.
• 25:06
  Dayna Roselli: I was like, what trends are there?
• 25:07
  Dayna Roselli: She's like, well, it's not necessarily like a trend, but um she was noticing that younger people do not want that cookie cutter wedding.
• 25:15
  Dayna Roselli: So that's good for us too.
• 25:18
  Dayna Roselli: Something a little, you know, different.
• 25:20
  Sean McAllister: And another uh trend that the wedding industry here in Las Vegas is seeing in 2026, kind of going along with the whole hospitality industry as well, people are looking for all-inclusive wedding packages.
• 25:33
  Sean McAllister: And that's what a lot of the wedding chapels, even uh the chapels at the uh hotel casino properties, you know, you can talk to them about all-inclusive uh deals that you know it covers everything.
• 25:47
  Sean McAllister: It covers your flowers, you can get your ring, you can you know, there's so many places to go and like we talked about what was it last week to go and you know get your nails done, to get your hair done, get dresses, get tuxes.
• 26:02
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, we got it's it is really easy.
• 26:04
  Dayna Roselli: I have a lot of friends that have come out here to get married and really enjoyed it and loved every minute of it.
• 26:10
  Dayna Roselli: Um but let's talk celebrity weddings now in our celebrity news with a Vegas twist.
• 26:17
  Sean McAllister: And Dana, this is a beefy chunky celebrity news with a Vegas twist this week.
• 26:23
  Sean McAllister: Continuing on with the the wedding theme, there have been a lot of celebrities who've tied the knot here in Las Vegas.
• 26:31
  Dayna Roselli: That's right.
• 26:31
  Dayna Roselli: Now, there's a newer chapel called Storybook that we told you about.
• 26:34
  Dayna Roselli: It's more of a traditional chapel with elegant like our architecture, charming decor.
• 26:39
  Dayna Roselli: It's doing really well.
• 26:39
  Dayna Roselli: It's a very romantic little spot.
• 26:41
  Dayna Roselli: It's owned by D.D.
• 26:42
  Dayna Roselli: Duffy Museum and Brendan Paul, who also own Graceland Wedding Chapel.
• 26:48
  Dayna Roselli: Now, this is historic, that chapel, Graceland, and really iconic because it's where the world's first Elvis themed wedding was performed.
• 26:57
  Sean McAllister: And Elvis weddings are now like synonymous with Las Vegas, right?
• 27:03
  Sean McAllister: And Brendan is a great uh Elvis tribute artist who performs these weddings.
• 27:09
  Sean McAllister: He actually got his job at Graceland when he and Dee Dee went to visit the chapel.
• 27:13
  Sean McAllister: This was a long time ago, because Dee Dee wanted to see where Bon Jovi got married, and then Brendan was offered a job on the spot, and the rest is kind of history.
• 27:22
  Dayna Roselli: It's crazy, and Brendan's great because he walks in the room, he's tall, he's got that whole Elvis stature going on.
• 27:27
  Dayna Roselli: So I love that he was hired on the spot.
• 27:29
  Dayna Roselli: It makes sense, right?
• 27:30
  Dayna Roselli: Um, yeah, and Brendan and Graceland were actually just featured on an episode of Apple TV's Margot's Got Money Trouble.
• 27:36
  Dayna Roselli: I won't spoil that for you if you haven't seen it yet, because I hate when people do that.
• 27:39
  Dayna Roselli: But it does include a scene with Michelle Pfeiffer, Greg Kinnear, um, Al Fanning, and it's great.
• 27:45
  Dayna Roselli: And you will see Brendan in that episode.
• 27:48
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but we did talk with Brendan recently, and he says a lot of other celebrities have been married there too.
• 27:53
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I married David Harbour from Stranger Things and Lily Allen, uh, Jompon Jovi, who got married there famously in 1989.
• 28:01
  SPEAKER_00: He came in last year with his son.
• 28:03
  SPEAKER_00: I just walked in on a Tuesday and he's like, hey, Elvis, and John was standing there.
• 28:06
  SPEAKER_00: I said, Oh my God.
• 28:08
  SPEAKER_00: You know, and and he goes, It was just he and Dorothea, his wife, and the bride's mom and dad, and it was just six of them, and they had a little wedding on a Tuesday afternoon.
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_00: And he goes, My son wanted to get married here because of us.
• 28:18
  SPEAKER_00: We get people that choose a chapel because Fear and Lothing in Las Vegas with Johnny Depp.
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_00: We filmed that there, and I was in the scene with them, and some people go, That's our favorite movie.
• 28:28
  SPEAKER_00: So it's like the weirdest thing that brings people in.
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I would I did a couple of those 90-day fiancés.
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_00: People pick the chapel, they go, We saw you on 90-day fiance.
• 28:36
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, what it's crazy how people choose that you know, that that's why they came to Grayson.
• 28:41
  SPEAKER_00: And so now we're gonna start new memories here, and people have memories at Storybook, you know.
• 28:46
  Sean McAllister: And of course, those are just a few of the uh celebrities that uh Brendan has encountered over the years here in Las Vegas.
• 28:54
  Sean McAllister: Um, aside from that, we know Kelly Rippa and Mark Consuelos were also married here.
• 28:59
  Sean McAllister: I mean, back in the day, uh Betty White was married here.
• 29:03

• 29:15
  Dayna Roselli: It's awesome.
• 29:16
  Dayna Roselli: We have so many choices.

  Dayna Roselli: Uh and chapels, you know, you can do the Elvis, you cannot do the Elvis, you can just do, you know, sparkles, you could do showgirls, you could do a traditional, it doesn't matter.
• 29:27
  Dayna Roselli: And and like we just said, we make it easy.
• 29:29
  Dayna Roselli: Because you go in, you get your license, you get it done.
• 29:32
  Dayna Roselli: You need a witness.
• 29:34
  Sean McAllister: You do need a witness.
• 29:35
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, but just one, I think.
• 29:36
  Sean McAllister: Just one.
• 29:37
  Sean McAllister: Uh, and to get the ball rolling, if you are thinking about uh getting married here in Las Vegas, you can go to weddings.vegas.

• 31:06
  SPEAKER_03: So, like every night, again, this tour has been really rejuvenating for me.
• 31:11
  SPEAKER_03: It's been a lot of fun.
• 31:12
  SPEAKER_03: I talk about old school.
• 31:13
  SPEAKER_03: I pick up like an old school phone at one point in the show and I go, I'm calling all my 80s people.
• 31:19
  SPEAKER_03: And I talk about, you know, waiting for that phone call at home.
• 31:23
  SPEAKER_03: Like you, it was a thing.
• 31:24
  SPEAKER_03: You had to be home.
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_03: If you said you were gonna call somebody, it was it was a thing.
• 31:29
  SPEAKER_03: Go into the mall on the weekends with your girlfriends, and you might only had$10 in your pocket, but you let made that$10 last all day.
• 31:39

• 32:25
  SPEAKER_03: You know, it just I I love I'm a foodie.
• 32:27
  SPEAKER_03: So everywhere I travel, I want to be in the know.
• 32:30
  SPEAKER_03: I don't want to be at the hotel, I want to be where the locals eat.
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_03: And so, you know, I started Let's Food with Tiffany on Instagram in COVID.
• 32:39
  SPEAKER_03: And all of a sudden, all these different chefs started popping up and asking me, Hey, would you like to be a part of this?
• 32:45
  SPEAKER_03: And that led to me meeting uh Chef Alicia, who's a celebrity chef in Las Vegas.
• 32:51
  SPEAKER_03: And we thought, why not do like an 80s cookbook?
• 32:54
  SPEAKER_03: You know, reworking 80s food all leveled up for the adult kitchen.
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_03: So your stove first pizza, your chicken pot pies, your piggies in a blanket, but I stuffed mine with mac and cheese.
• 33:05
  SPEAKER_03: So I really go there.
• 33:07
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, so it's taken three years.
• 33:09
  SPEAKER_03: It is finally here.
• 33:11
  SPEAKER_03: I got my copy yesterday for the very first time.
• 33:14
  SPEAKER_03: I literally slept with this guy.
• 33:17
  SPEAKER_03: I was like, oh my gosh, you're here.
• 33:18
  SPEAKER_03: But it's more than just a cookbook.
• 33:21
  SPEAKER_03: It is dedicated to our grandmothers.
• 33:23
  SPEAKER_03: I talk about my childhood in here and about my family and about touring.
• 33:29
  SPEAKER_03: So you get a lot of photos of me on the road that people haven't seen and my 80s experience, you know, from all the different places that I've been.
• 33:38
  SPEAKER_03: And a lot of these recipes are my favorites from around the world.
• 33:42
  Dayna Roselli: Love it.
• 33:42
  Dayna Roselli: And I and I love that you're working with someone from Las Vegas because we've actually become quite a culinary town.

  Dayna Roselli: Um, so that's really cool.
• 33:50
  Dayna Roselli: Do you do you visit us a lot?
• 33:52
  Dayna Roselli: I think I saw a post from you a long time ago saying you had a lot of memories here with your dad.
• 33:56
  SPEAKER_03: I well, my dad used to live there.
• 33:58
  SPEAKER_03: I actually did a residency a long time ago at the old school Hilton, years ago.
• 34:04
  SPEAKER_03: So, yes, next year I will be in Vegas more because there's just so much for me to learn.
• 34:09
