  Dayna Roselli: Grim Valley Resort closed at the Nevada, California state line, but hey, it reopened again with the help of Terrible.

  Dayna Roselli: So we'll explain what that company is.

  Dayna Roselli: We were there as the doors open.

  Dayna Roselli: And get this, there's no resort fee.
• 0:24
  Sean McAllister: Sounds good to me.

  Sean McAllister: Welcome to Vegas Revealed, episode 331.
• 1:04
  Sean McAllister: Sean McAllister and Dana Roselli with you.
• 1:08
  Sean McAllister: And it's not every day that you celebrate the opening of a casino or the reopening of a casino, but we had the chance to do that.
• 1:16
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 1:16
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, they happen often here in Las Vegas, but this one that we're particularly talking about is down in Prim, and that's right near the Nevada, California state line.
• 1:24
  Dayna Roselli: It's right off the highway.
• 1:26
  Dayna Roselli: And let me tell you, people were really upset that this hotel casino closed because it's a popular stop as you cross the border into Nevada and head to Las Vegas or go home to California.
• 1:38
  Sean McAllister: Well, it's like the it's like a welcome stop into Nevada.
• 1:42
  Sean McAllister: And after you've been driving through the mountains all that time, it's kind of a welcome stopping off point to grab a bite to eat, to gas up, to play some slot machines, maybe uh stay the night.
• 1:52
  Sean McAllister: Uh so it really was a loss when uh back uh right around 4th of July weekend, the uh Prim Valley Resort had to close.
• 2:00
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, because if you've never taken that drive, there's not a lot in between.
• 2:02
  Dayna Roselli: No, there's nothing so that's like I think that it makes it even more significant, right?
• 2:07
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so they closed, uh Whiskey Pete's closed a while ago.
• 2:11
  Dayna Roselli: There's not a lot open nothing open there anymore.
• 2:13
  Dayna Roselli: But now Prim is back open.
• 2:15
  Dayna Roselli: It opened the doors on July 22nd, thanks to Terribles.
• 2:19
  Dayna Roselli: And Terribles, if you're not familiar with that, uh you'll if you're in Las Vegas and in Nevada, you'll see all the Terribles gas stations, very popular, great company here in town.
• 2:29
  Dayna Roselli: And they were able to turn it around in 17 days.
• 2:32
  Dayna Roselli: They they took over management on July 5th, they got it cleaned up, and then all of a sudden we got this release the day before saying, Hey, we're opening at noon if you want to be there.
• 2:41
  Sean McAllister: So we hopped in the Vegas Revealed van mobile, the Vegas Revealed Mobile, and drove what was it?
• 2:49
  Sean McAllister: It was like uh about 35, 40 minutes 40-minute drive south down to State Line.
• 2:54
  Sean McAllister: And let me tell you, we were not the only ones who showed up for the grand reopening.
• 3:00
  Sean McAllister: There were a lot of players who were excited about it too.

  Dayna Roselli: Um so there's a lot of different people that crossed through there.
• 3:14
  Dayna Roselli: And yeah, they did show up.

• 3:25
  Dayna Roselli: He is the president of Prim South Real Estate Company and the grandson of Prim founder Ernie Prim.
• 3:32
  Dayna Roselli: And it was a big day for him.
• 3:34
  Dayna Roselli: He was so grateful that you know the doors were able to open.
• 3:38
  Dayna Roselli: And I think he was grateful too to see everyone waiting to get in.
• 3:41
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it was an exciting time.
• 3:43
  Sean McAllister: People were chanting, big smiles, lots of claps, and uh you know, Corey said that this is just uh another major milestone for the Prim family and what they've done for development uh across the state of Nevada.
• 3:59
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 3:59
  Dayna Roselli: And the no resort fees, so they're really pushing that.
• 4:02
  Dayna Roselli: That's kind of cool if you're driving through like that.
• 4:05
  Dayna Roselli: Back in the day, we never used to even have to say that.
• 4:07
  Dayna Roselli: True.
• 4:08
  Dayna Roselli: But um, and also in there they had the Bonnie and Clyde car move there.
• 4:12
  Dayna Roselli: It used to be at Whiskey Pete's, and uh you were like, hey, go get some video of it with a phone, and like it's going gone crazy on our social media.
• 4:20
  Dayna Roselli: People are really into this, but it is, and people keep asking it, is it a replica?
• 4:23
  Dayna Roselli: No, it's the car that Bonnie and Clyde were in when their lives were ended by police.
• 4:29
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and people ask, they're another question that people are asking online about that.
• 4:33
  Sean McAllister: They're like, wait a second, uh isn't that over?
• 4:36
  Sean McAllister: Wasn't that over at Whiskey Pete's?
• 4:38
  Sean McAllister: Well, it used to be, and it moved over to uh the Prim Valley resort, and now they've got some other memorabilia from that infamous uh time in American history.
• 4:48
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, they have uh Clyde's shirt, bloody shirt, ripped shirt on display as well.
• 4:53
  Dayna Roselli: It's a whole display.
• 4:54
  Dayna Roselli: They've got uh like a historic um like a video video ro rolling.
• 4:58
  Dayna Roselli: We actually had someone comment and say, I think it was they said, Hey, that's my grandfather or uncle or something in that video.
• 5:05
  Dayna Roselli: Um but anyway, yeah, so it it's taken off.
• 5:08
  Dayna Roselli: It's like almost you know, over half a million views and lots of comments going in.
• 5:12
  Dayna Roselli: People seem very interested in it.
• 5:14
  Dayna Roselli: So if you want to check that out, it's at Prim Valley Resort now.
• 5:17
  Sean McAllister: Great to have that back open.
• 5:18
  Sean McAllister: The lottery store is back open down there at State Line on the California side, uh, obviously, because we don't have the lotto uh in the state of Nevada.
• 5:28
  Sean McAllister: So a lot of people are excited about that.
• 5:29
  Sean McAllister: I got my quick pick tickets for the Powerball and did not win.
• 5:33
  Sean McAllister: So the dream is still alive.
• 5:35
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 5:35
  Dayna Roselli: I got some scratch offs, you know, because we're from upstate New York where we grew up on scratch offs.
• 5:40
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, yeah, you know, and so it was fun to do a little bit.
• 5:42
  Sean McAllister: The parents would bring the scratch offs home, the kids would sit around the table.
• 5:45
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, we did go through the Carl Jr.
• 5:47
  Dayna Roselli: drive-thru though, and that was interesting.
• 5:50
  Dayna Roselli: I kind of felt like the order was gonna come in wrong, and it did.
• 5:53
  Dayna Roselli: But you know what?
• 5:54
  Dayna Roselli: They're out there doing their best.
• 5:56
  Dayna Roselli: I listen, shout out to everyone there.
• 5:57
  Dayna Roselli: But I was like, the the chicken sandwich is grilled, right?
• 6:00
  Dayna Roselli: And they're like, yes.
• 6:03
  Sean McAllister: Apparently it's crispy.
• 6:04
  Dayna Roselli: No, so it's crispy, but oh well.
• 6:06
  Dayna Roselli: Um, we got a couple sodas and you got your chicken nuggets.
• 6:09
  Sean McAllister: And I got more than three.
• 6:11
  Sean McAllister: I ordered three, and I think I got six.
• 6:13
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, good.
• 6:15
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but man, fast food's getting expensive these days, too.
• 6:18
  Dayna Roselli: Like, I don't order fast food a lot, so it's always a shock when I do because I'm like, wait.
• 6:22
  Sean McAllister: Because it's like 20 bucks no matter what.
• 6:24
  Dayna Roselli: We got a chicken sandwich and nuggets and two medium like sodas for$28.
• 6:30
  Dayna Roselli: I was like, wow.
• 6:32
  Dayna Roselli: Um, anyway, um, I'm glad that they are opening things down there.
• 6:35
  Dayna Roselli: Now here's the deal: this is the first step in Terrible's long-term vision for Prim.
• 6:40
  Dayna Roselli: So when we when the doors opened and the folks walked in, um, you know, they hit the slot machines right away.
• 6:47
  Dayna Roselli: And we were able to chat with Corey Clemenson, the president of the Prim South Real Estate Company and grandson of the Prim founder, Ernie Prim, about some of the the vision, at least of for that area and also for the hotel casino.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_00: The Prim family is sticking around.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_00: We still own all of the properties and all of the land and the hotels, the Terribles and the Herbs Terribles team has come in and they'll be operating the casinos, hotels, gas stations, lotto store.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and we did this.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_00: We put together an agreement very quickly, the fastest I've heard in in 60 days.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: Pretty amazing feat by so many of their the terribles team and their and their executives, along with the Prim family and the legal teams behind us, were able to do that and work with gaming control to be here today.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_00: Um, obviously, we'll be working on a longer-term uh relationship.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, you can see, right, they're not they're gonna make it real easy for us to sign a long-term deal when they do something like this in 17 days.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, and so a lot of work's ahead, but we feel, we felt all along that the conversations we've had with the Herb's family and the interviews and the meetings we've had with the Terribles executive teams, they give us the best chance to bring Prim back and bring success back to this area once again.
• 7:59
  Dayna Roselli: And I know you said you had plans for this whole area.
• 8:01
  Dayna Roselli: I know you can't reveal a lot, you've already said that, but can you talk about that a little bit?
• 8:06
  Dayna Roselli: You know, I know you did it on the podium, but with us a little bit about plans for the future.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_00: Are you talking about the casinos or beyond?
• 8:11
  Dayna Roselli: Casinos, beyond the land around here.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: My family's been bullish on the prim and prim for a long time.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_00: Um, we see it from a business standpoint of that there's gonna be an airport here in about 10 years, and it's going to happen because Nevada is gonna want to keep Las Vegas is wanting its place as the top, top entertainment capital of the world, and we need a second airport, especially with professional sports and so many other things.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_00: And I think the politicians and political leaders on both sides of the aisle recognize that in my conversations with them.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_00: And uh, there's gonna be a second airport.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_00: When that happens, they're gonna see a lot of different things that are gonna come to Prim that's gonna, you know, maybe make Prim better than it's ever been.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_00: It's just gonna take a little bit of time.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, the Terribles group, you've seen what they've done in 17 days.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_00: Tim and Troy are very innovative guys, they're first class guys.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_00: Our family is behind them 100%, and uh, you know, there's a great effort.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_00: We want to make sure Prim keeps its iconic place to Nevada lore, so to speak.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_00: I know my grandfather's looking down today, and he'd have a big smile on where it's at.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_00: And um, you know, everything's been great, so and we can't thank everyone enough for their support.
• 9:19
  Dayna Roselli: I bet you heard from a lot of people when you were shut down, right?
• 9:21
  Dayna Roselli: I can only imagine you're relieved to not have to hear that anymore.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: Like I've said, for a while, I mean until recently I've started to get sleep again.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_00: I was like having the bags on their eyes.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_00: My wife was looking at me and she said, boy, you need to go get some help or something.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_00: You don't look very good.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_00: But uh it's it's yes, relief, joy, excitement, and really happy for the people here.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_00: You know, when you get in, you deal with lives on a day regular basis, and you see what we saw early in the process, even before Terribles was involved.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, you're dealing with families, you're dealing with kids, uh, you're dealing with folks that just wanna just want to live their lives, and the uncertainty for them was really troubling to our family to watch the stress on them, to not know whether they're gonna be homeless in a period of time, and to be able to have them here today and be able to work again with a belief, with a group that believes in them and terribles and the leadership of both Mark and Brian, Tim and Troy, Maddosa, the entire group.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_00: Um, the leadership, and I know I'm forgetting a lot of people, terribles, my apologies, but they are phenomenal.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_00: And them stepping in, they've made a difference here, and uh the Prim family's just thrilled.
• 10:27
  Dayna Roselli: So, Sean, you looked up the airport and found out that they're actually planning to start construction around 2029.
• 10:35
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, so uh we've heard about this additional airport that Southern Nevada would be getting to uh help take the load off of Harry Reed Airport, which is right here in the in the you know, resort corridor, really, um, just to handle more traffic and the tourism demand, all that.
• 10:52
  Sean McAllister: Uh but I didn't realize that the timeline was actually creeping up pretty quickly on us.
• 10:58
  Sean McAllister: I feel like it's just been a long range uh project that we've heard about for years.
• 11:03
  Sean McAllister: But they're uh planning completion for that new airport in southern Nevada by 2037, which is, I mean, just 11 years away.
• 11:12
  Sean McAllister: That's in the grand scheme of things, not too long.
• 11:15
  Sean McAllister: And so Prim uh is gonna be a big part of that because it's gonna be you know right next door essentially to this new airport complex.
• 11:24
  Sean McAllister: So, you know, the folks down there are thinking long term about the development implications as it relates to this airport.
• 11:32
  Sean McAllister: Um, and so they're thinking that this sets them up pretty well.
• 11:36
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 11:38
  Dayna Roselli: It was great to you know, when you drive down there, you realize how much space there is out there.
• 11:43
  Dayna Roselli: So it's nice to hear that they, you know, are ha have plans to build things up like that.
• 11:48
  Dayna Roselli: Because, you know, there's space, there's land, like let's go.
• 11:52
  Sean McAllister: Not like crazy, but it's perfect spot for an airport, a couple resorts, restaurants, and the highway is already there, it's expanded, multi-lanes, nicely paved.
• 12:03
  Sean McAllister: So it's a straight shot into Las Vegas.
• 12:07
  Dayna Roselli: A lot of people seem really excited about Prim Valley um opening again.
• 12:10
  Dayna Roselli: So we're happy to hear that.
• 12:11
  Dayna Roselli: So slot machines and a sports book.
• 12:13
  Dayna Roselli: They didn't have any table games at the time last week when we went, they only had the like the 24-7 um grab and go food, but they're trying to get the diner back open.
• 12:22
  Dayna Roselli: They said eventually the steakhouse.
• 12:25
  Dayna Roselli: And so there are plans for for more.
• 12:27
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, there's plans.
• 12:28
  Sean McAllister: A coffee shop, I think they're gonna be opening up uh relatively soon.
• 12:33
  Sean McAllister: So um it'll be interesting to see how all that unfolds.
• 12:37
  Sean McAllister: But like you said, there is excitement.
• 12:39
  Sean McAllister: People are already back in those doors and ready to play at Prim Valley Resort.
• 12:44
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 12:45
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, by the way, um this is completely unrelated, but we are excited that our fan mail now we can start answering fan mail.
• 12:54
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, so if you text us, we don't have your number, but you can reply and we can answer you.
• 13:00
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, because we got a text the other day from someone who was listening saying they they I think they were out of California, right?
• 13:06
  Dayna Roselli: Saying that um they were they liked our our segment that we did on the Palms store talking about how they sell a lot of athletic gear.
• 13:14
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 13:15
  Dayna Roselli: And it's a great place.
• 13:16
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, so we gotta thank you so much for the kind words about the gift shop at Palms.
• 13:20
  Dayna Roselli: The retail team was excited to be recognized.
• 13:22
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and they say, I encourage you to visit our fashion store 1891 on your next visit to the property.
• 13:29
  Dayna Roselli: So there you go.
• 13:30
  Dayna Roselli: So then we were able to go in and uh respond to someone who had written us from San Antonio about uh their son turning 21 and things to do.
• 13:39
  Dayna Roselli: We talked about it on the audio podcast, but I wanted to make sure to send them the link to the special that Las Vegas is having for a year.
• 13:47
  Dayna Roselli: If you turn 21, you can get into all these nightclubs, you and four friends or day clubs.
• 13:53
  Dayna Roselli: So I was able to respond with that.
• 13:55
  Dayna Roselli: And that was fun because they wrote back, wow, thank you.
• 14:00
  Dayna Roselli: So it's kind of fun.
• 14:01
  Dayna Roselli: So if you we have the link in our show notes.
• 14:02
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, so now that is, it's exciting.
• 14:05
  Sean McAllister: You don't have to wait for the next episode to come out.
• 14:09
  Sean McAllister: We'll reply back to you, um, and we'll talk about it and elaborate on the podcast uh here as well.
• 14:17
  Sean McAllister: But that is, it's exciting because we could never reply before and we were like and we wanted to so badly.
• 14:23
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 14:23
  Dayna Roselli: Sometimes someone would ask a question and we want you know would want to say something.
• 14:27
  Dayna Roselli: So um again, uh just because I know people worry about privacy, it's just the last four digits of your phone number that we see and location.
• 14:35
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 14:36
  Dayna Roselli: If you want to add your name, add it in.
• 14:38
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but anyway, FYI.
• 14:40
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, uh, we went over to Universal Horror Unleash.
• 14:43
  Dayna Roselli: Now, this is a permanent horror attraction here in Las Vegas, it's at Area 15, but they're doing this summer takeover of Resident Evil, which is a very popular game.
• 14:53
  Sean McAllister: Oh, yeah.
• 14:54
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 14:54
  Dayna Roselli: So uh they're doing this until August 30th.
• 14:58
  Dayna Roselli: And we went over, and since I don't know much about the game, um, everyone who does know and plays Resident Evil and know the storyline will know when I say there's a focus on Raccoon City.
• 15:10
  Sean McAllister: Yes, the place where it all happens.
• 15:12
  Sean McAllister: And let me tell you, there are zombies, there are monsters.
• 15:16
  Sean McAllister: It is it's very well done, and it makes you feel like you are really surrounded by these creatures.
• 15:25
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 15:26
  Sean McAllister: And the undead.
• 15:28
  Dayna Roselli: So we were over there.
• 15:29
  Dayna Roselli: We've we found the assistant director of entertainment, his name is Dell, and we said, Hey, is this the plan to kind of change things up every now and then, do these takeovers?
• 15:38
  Dayna Roselli: And uh he said yes.
• 15:40
  Dayna Roselli: So you've got Resident Evil, and then will it change again to something else, like eventually or seasonal?
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_04: Absolutely.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_04: We want to start building annual uh marquee events, you know, focusing on, you know, a spring event like we had for Feaster Grievings, you know, um, focusing on a big blockbuster event during the summer, focusing obviously on Halloween and what Halloween is gonna be to us moving forward, and then of course an annual Christmas event.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_04: So those would be like our marquee, and then we have things sprinkled out in between.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_04: For example, we launched Food Film Frights, which was a uh a screening, but it was a themed screening with food and beverage.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_04: So we will have those kind of activations sprinkled in between our marquee events.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_04: So there will be always something going on, and uh, it requires a lot of future planning.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_04: So we are definitely in that right now.
• 16:25
  Dayna Roselli: And a lot of research shows people are looking for experiences more than anything now.
• 16:30
  Dayna Roselli: So that is a great benefit for you guys.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, we have that buzzword, right?
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_04: Immersive.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_04: Um, and I think what Universal does extremely well is provide people that immersive experience, right?
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_04: It's a way to escape, it's a way to get away from our daily lives and be brought into a world that we don't typically go into.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_04: And I think horror goes so far beyond what people think horror is.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_04: There's comedy to it, there's drama to it.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_04: So I think it's also exploring those themes too.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_04: It's not just blood and gore.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_04: You know, look at Resident Evil.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_04: It's it's a story, there's characters that you grow up with, these characters evolve.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_04: And so again, horror unleashed has to do the same thing.
• 17:06
  Dayna Roselli: Even the food and beverage there changes, Sean.
• 17:09
  Dayna Roselli: So they do like themed kinds of food.
• 17:11
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, if you're into this stuff, it's amazing.
• 17:13
  Dayna Roselli: It's so well, it's incredible.
• 17:15
  Sean McAllister: Oh, it's it is, it's amazingly well done.
• 17:17
  Sean McAllister: And with you know, Universal, you know, the Universal uh the movie production company behind it, they obviously have a stable of uh horror uh movie titles under their umbrella.
• 17:31
  Sean McAllister: So it makes perfect sense for them to have a permanent place out here.
• 17:35
  Sean McAllister: It's this massive soundstage warehouse where everything is housed.
• 17:40
  Sean McAllister: They do have several uh permanent uh uh attractions, walkthroughs uh that you go through that are that have various themes that stay the same.
• 17:50
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 17:51
  Sean McAllister: But then they have these pop-up attractions in addition to those, which is uh like you said, it's a great idea to get people in for horror fans, which there are a lot of.
• 18:02
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, a lot.
• 18:03
  Dayna Roselli: It's a like a cult following.
• 18:05
  Dayna Roselli: Like people love it, and they love it all year round.
• 18:08
  Sean McAllister: Oh, and there were people there dressed as Resident Evil characters.
• 18:12
  Sean McAllister: Uh there were people there, uh, you know, after the event that that we went to, the general uh public was coming in, and there were people dressed as as other um uh horror characters characters.
• 18:26
  Dayna Roselli: Here's the deal, you're probably wondering, did Dana and Sean go through it?
• 18:28
  Dayna Roselli: We didn't, okay.
• 18:29
  Dayna Roselli: We are babies, and I'll admit, like, and maybe Sean would have gone through it, but I was like, I can't, I just can't do the horror stuff.
• 18:35
  Dayna Roselli: It literally scares me.
• 18:37
  Dayna Roselli: When we walked in, when we mentioned the zombies and stuff, that's where we're talking about when you just walk into the entrance, but there were people like touching my shoulder.
• 18:46
  Dayna Roselli: I don't it it does make me, but I get why people love it.
• 18:50
  Dayna Roselli: And if I was into it, I would be going through in a second.
• 18:54
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, and it is so well done, it's great.
• 18:57
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and we had to also get to another shoot.
• 18:59
  Dayna Roselli: So I mean, maybe I would have dabbled in a little bit, but I don't know.
• 19:03
  Dayna Roselli: It's just they have a great gift shop too, by the way.
• 19:05
  Sean McAllister: If you're into different things, oh the gift shop was amazing, amazing.
• 19:10
  Sean McAllister: Like legit, like jackets.
• 19:12
  Sean McAllister: They had I mean, it was really nice stuff in there.
• 19:15
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 19:16
  Sean McAllister: For all the horror fans.
• 19:17
  Dayna Roselli: Scary clowns.
• 19:18
  Sean McAllister: See, I can't do those because in I think fourth grade I went to a a Halloween party.
• 19:24
  Sean McAllister: Oh, you told us.
• 19:25
  Sean McAllister: One of my classmates.
• 19:26

  Sean McAllister: They the family set up a haunted house through their barn and somebody got actually cut by a chainsaw.
• 19:43
  Sean McAllister: Wow, that's scary.
• 19:45
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it was like one of their family members who was actually helping put on the thing.
• 19:49
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 19:51
  Dayna Roselli: It's not for amateurs.
• 19:51
  Dayna Roselli: That's why we go for the experts.
• 19:53
  Dayna Roselli: Universal horror unleashed.
• 19:54
  Dayna Roselli: They know what they're doing.
• 19:55
  Dayna Roselli: Uh the costumes are amazing.
• 19:57
  Dayna Roselli: When we left, I didn't, you know, I we always talk about how Area 15 has so much, but they have a really cool carousel there.
• 20:03
  Dayna Roselli: They just opened a Nacho Daddy.
• 20:05
  Dayna Roselli: There's so much to do at Area 15.
• 20:07
  Sean McAllister: And this was in zone two, right?
• 20:09
  Sean McAllister: Which is the expansion phase of everything going on over there at uh Area 15.
• 20:15
  Sean McAllister: It is a good spot to go and check out.
• 20:17
  Sean McAllister: You could literally spend all day there.
• 20:19
  Dayna Roselli: I know.

• 22:59
  Sean McAllister: All right.
• 23:00
  Sean McAllister: Let's get to some celebrity news with a Vegas twist.
• 23:06
  Dayna Roselli: We got a lot in here this week.
• 23:08
  Sean McAllister: There it really is.
• 23:09
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, Aaron Paul and Brian Cranston.
• 23:11
  Dayna Roselli: They love Las Vegas.
• 23:12
  Dayna Roselli: And sometimes when they make their appearances, they pop all over town.
• 23:17
  Sean McAllister: Everywhere.
• 23:17
  Dayna Roselli: And you see them behind the bar and all that.
• 23:20
  Dayna Roselli: And that's exactly what uh happened over at Omnia Day Club uh just this past Saturday.
• 23:25
  Dayna Roselli: You know, they're known from breaking bad.
• 23:27
  Dayna Roselli: And they hopped behind the bar, they were serving drinks, uh, the DJ came up.
• 23:32
  Dayna Roselli: It was like a whole thing, but a lot of fun.
• 23:34
  Dayna Roselli: People love seeing them.
• 23:35
  Sean McAllister: And I feel like they might have been over at uh Wynn or Encore as well.
• 23:40
  Sean McAllister: I feel like I saw some pictures of them maybe at Zero Bond or one of the properties, one of the venues over at uh Wynn as well.
• 23:48
  Sean McAllister: Because, like you said, when they're in town, they load up their schedule and they are promoting their mezcal, hombre's mezcal, and tequila.
• 23:57
  Sean McAllister: Dos hombres.
• 23:58
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 23:59
  Dayna Roselli: Hence it's both of them, right?
• 24:00
  Dayna Roselli: One, two.
• 24:01
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 24:01
  Dayna Roselli: I'm getting good.
• 24:03
  Sean McAllister: That is Dos Ombres.
• 24:05
  Dayna Roselli: So they're yeah, they're tequila, and they know what they're doing, just like Mark Wahlberg.
• 24:08
  Dayna Roselli: He gets behind the bar too.
• 24:10
  Dayna Roselli: You gotta listen, as Joan Rivers told me in an interview, and I know I've said it a million times, you gotta promote your own stuff.
• 24:16
  Sean McAllister: Sure do.
• 24:17
  Dayna Roselli: You know, don't waste time promoting other people's stuff.
• 24:19
  Dayna Roselli: Promote your own stuff.
• 24:20
  Dayna Roselli: And so Aaron Paul and Brian Cranston know what they're doing.
• 24:23
  Sean McAllister: They do.
• 24:24
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, so that's a publicity machine, those two.
• 24:27
  Dayna Roselli: That's a fun sighting.
• 24:28
  Dayna Roselli: Well, uh speaking of Omnia, you may remember that when Omnia Day Club opened, they had a lot going on that day, lots of special events, and one of them included uh Kobe Raha, who attempted to jump the Caesars to Palace Fountains, like Evil Knieval did.
• 24:48
  Dayna Roselli: A different kind of challenge the way that he did it, um, which he's gonna explain in just a minute because we did a great interview with him.
• 24:54
  Dayna Roselli: But um, he did break a world record during this event, and it happens quick.
• 25:00
  Dayna Roselli: The video is incredible, so you might want to watch this on our YouTube channel once we put it up.
• 25:04
  Dayna Roselli: But um, it was interesting to talk to Colby as like a motorcycle stuntman.
• 25:09
  Dayna Roselli: Like, why do you like why do you do this?
• 25:11
  Dayna Roselli: Like, it's crazy.
• 25:13
  Sean McAllister: It is, and you know, it was an appropriate venue to talk with Colby Raha as well, because uh, like you said, the Evil Knievel Museum opened up in downtown Las Vegas, and that's where we uh saw Colby and we were like, hey, you know what?
• 25:27
  Sean McAllister: We need to ask him about this jump he just did.
• 25:29
  Dayna Roselli: I know, and we didn't expect to have such a great interview, but we were we were into it.
• 25:32
  Dayna Roselli: Like we didn't know if he had to rush off, but we sat and chatted.
• 25:35
  Dayna Roselli: So listen to this interview.
• 25:36
  Dayna Roselli: Colby reacts to his world record and also talks to us about Evil Knievil and also why he does this or how he even got started.
• 25:46
  Dayna Roselli: It's you know, not for everyone.
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_02: Evil Knievel is the king, it's where it all started.
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, this whole daredevil risk your life for a world record on a motorcycle.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, he is the inventor of it, and and it all started for him at Caesar's Palace was his first big jump.
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_02: Huge wreck, and people tune in to watch him wreck.
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_02: And uh, you know, growing up watching him, working my butt off to be in the position I'm in to get the opportunity to break world records uh is a huge honor.
• 26:16
  SPEAKER_02: I got to go to Caesar's Palace Fountains and break a world record for the highest ever quarter pipe air.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_02: Uh something different this new day and age uh pushing the limits.
• 26:26
  SPEAKER_02: And uh I'm going for not crashing is my goal.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_02: Uh I've had a couple big crashes, not as many as evil can evil.
• 26:33
  Dayna Roselli: How did you even just go, hey, this is what I want to do?
• 26:36
  Dayna Roselli: I think I might do this.
• 26:37
  Dayna Roselli: Like, what was that like for you?
• 26:39
  Dayna Roselli: Like, what age were you?
• 26:40
  Dayna Roselli: What did you see that in you thought this is what I want to do?
• 26:43
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 26:44
  SPEAKER_02: Well, to um think this is what I want to do, it's more of I think it takes a certain type of person.
• 26:50
  SPEAKER_02: It's you gotta be fearless, uh, really.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_02: You gotta know how to risk your life and turn off the care switch and go fearless, but you gotta have the work ethic to back it up and land the jump.
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you kinda gotta wanna be a show-off a little bit, I think.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, and when you do land it, I'll tell you what, it's all worth it.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, it's the greatest feeling ever to be one of uh holding a world record.
• 27:12
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, this is 2026, and so for me to be able to say have a world record, I have five of them now, and I'm not done, but I think uh, you know, you could die doing it, get seriously injured, but when you land it, it's all worth it, and I think that's what kept Evil Knievel coming back.
• 27:25
  Dayna Roselli: To be able to do what you did in Las Vegas over Caesars Palace, an iconic place where Evil Knievel was, I mean, that was a big moment for you.
• 27:33
  SPEAKER_02: It was huge.
• 27:34
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, Caesars Palace hit me up direct, and to have the opportunity to do it, and they gave me a three weeks notice.
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_02: It was it was tough to pull that off, and uh, was able to do it.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_02: It was a success, it was a world record.
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_02: Um, live at the Caesars Palace Fountains where it all started.
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_02: It's a huge honor and uh very blessed.
• 27:56
  Dayna Roselli: Good for him.
• 27:57
  Dayna Roselli: You know, you could tell he really loves it.
• 27:59
  Dayna Roselli: I the smile on his face, this whole interview.
• 28:01
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, he he like he loves it.
• 28:03
  Sean McAllister: Oh, he lit up talking about not only Evil Can Evil, but his jump, all of it.
• 28:07
  Sean McAllister: Um, again, the this is a very visual story, so go to our Vegas Revealed YouTube channel and you can see the jump that Colby was just talking about and the world record that he now holds.
• 28:20
  Dayna Roselli: I know, I know it's actually not in one of our TV shows for a little bit, so maybe I'll put the separate story up sooner so that people can go find it and click.
• 28:28
  Dayna Roselli: We'll do that for them.
