• 2:38
  Dayna Roselli: We did have a lot of cocktails.
• 2:40
  Dayna Roselli: And that's the thing.
• 2:41
  Dayna Roselli: So many people have said, because we post them on our social media, like, what's in that?
• 2:45
  Dayna Roselli: What is that?
• 2:46
  Dayna Roselli: And I've got to like take pictures of the menus of the things that we do and go, well, it's got this.
• 2:50
  Dayna Roselli: And if I forget, I want to hit myself in the head and go, oh, sorry, I don't know.
• 2:54
  Dayna Roselli: Just go try it.
• 2:55
  Dayna Roselli: It was really good.
• 2:56
  Sean McAllister: Well, I'll tell you what, if we're talking about the cocktails that they're serving over at Wynn Las Vegas and some of their newly redesigned uh bars and lounges, even if we told you how to make these drinks, you probably wouldn't have the ingredients that they're using because uh the mixologist over at Wynn, she's absolutely phenomenal.
• 3:20
  Sean McAllister: And she's actually created some of the ingredients that that go into this.
• 3:25
  Sean McAllister: You can't find them anywhere else.
• 3:27
  Dayna Roselli: No, and they were delicious, and they're beautiful too.
• 3:30
  Dayna Roselli: They really are, they're works of art.
• 3:31
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, I had someone uh send me a direct message and say, How can I get one of those passport wallets that you got that says Win on it?
• 3:38
  Dayna Roselli: Because I showed it in one of our videos, and I'm like, I don't know.
• 3:40
  Dayna Roselli: I'm assuming they're for sale in the gift shop, but you and I went on basically a cocktail tour where we got these passport, you know, kind of uh wallets in there.
• 3:49
  Dayna Roselli: It told us go here, go there, you know, go to aft lounge, go to overlook and pick up your cocktail, get your get your passport stamped, and then we got a gift when we left.
• 3:58
  Dayna Roselli: It was a lot of fun, but a great way to kind of circle around and see all the new changes.
• 4:02
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it it was.
• 4:03
  Sean McAllister: And I it it was nautical themed.
• 4:06
  Sean McAllister: There were, you know, uh uh servers in nautical outfits pointing us to where we needed to go.
• 4:13
  Sean McAllister: Um the cocktails, top notch.
• 4:16
  Sean McAllister: We've talked about the a lot of those cocktails before on the podcast.
• 4:20
  Sean McAllister: Um, but what's new is uh the lounge aft, which is kind of an outdoor lounge overlooking the Lake of Dreams over at Wynn.
• 4:30
  Sean McAllister: Uh it's gotten a a redo.
• 4:33
  Sean McAllister: It looks uh like very Mediterranean, doesn't it?
• 4:36
  Dayna Roselli: Well, it does, and I've spent tons of time there through the years.
• 4:39
  Dayna Roselli: One of my favorite places when when family comes into town, me and a certain group of friends always go there and relax.
• 4:46
  Dayna Roselli: I I was a regular on that patio.
• 4:48
  Dayna Roselli: So now it's aft lounge, like you said, and it does have that kind of theme to it.
• 4:52
  Dayna Roselli: But what they did change is instead of just kind of tables and couch sets, it they have like built-in booths with like overhang umbrellas, kinda, you know, and I think the way that they've leveled it, it's it's kind of just like a step down.
• 5:05
  Dayna Roselli: I think they were able to add more tables in there.
• 5:08
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 5:09
  Dayna Roselli: And which was cool, but you're right, the look is very Mediterranean, you know, for sure, and it has a certain feel.
• 5:17
  Sean McAllister: Well, it and it almost felt like if you were in a nightclub and you were over in the booths, like the VIP booths.
• 5:23
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 5:24
  Sean McAllister: That's the kind of feel that it had.
• 5:26
  Sean McAllister: And it was almost stadium seating with that arrangement so that you could get a great view of the show that happens out at the Lake of Dreams.
• 5:34
  Sean McAllister: So When does everything top-notch.
• 5:37
  Sean McAllister: Thank you for having us over.
• 5:39
  Sean McAllister: The the cocktails were delicious, the the appetizers were delicious, and everything was beautiful as usual.
• 5:48
  Dayna Roselli: Something else we did was go to the grand opening of Vanderpump A Paris over at Paris, Las Vegas, and this is Lisa Vanderpump's second location in Las Vegas.
• 6:01
  Dayna Roselli: It's a cocktail lounge and restaurant, and obviously, because it's in the Paris, Paris themed.
• 6:07
  Dayna Roselli: And what a red carpet that was.
• 6:09
  Dayna Roselli: She came down with uh guys on each arm and her poodles.
• 6:13
  Sean McAllister: And there were show girls doing like the whole, you know, Paris feather dance kind of things.
• 6:19
  Sean McAllister: They had a big feather fans that they were doing a little, you know, show and dance with.
• 6:24
  Sean McAllister: And, you know, obviously it was a big spectacle when Lisa made her appearance on the red carpet.
• 6:31
  Dayna Roselli: It was.
• 6:31
  Sean McAllister: And people were cheering, it was packed.
• 6:33
  Dayna Roselli: It was a lot of fun.
• 6:35
  Dayna Roselli: But uh, before we chat a little bit about it, we did uh have an interview with Lisa, which was great.
• 6:40
  Dayna Roselli: We heard like she's not really doing red carpet interviews, and we're like, you know what, Lisa, get over here.
• 6:44
  Dayna Roselli: We're in interviewing you for Vegas Revealed.
• 6:46
  Dayna Roselli: So she obliged.
• 6:47
  Sean McAllister: So, Lisa, when you uh come to Paris, Las Vegas, I mean, like you really bring the Paris complete with the French poodles.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, absolutely.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I lived in France for like seven years, so I absolutely adore France.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_02: I speak French to me.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_02: It was a dream to open in Paris.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_02: I love my Caesars family.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_02: And when they said, okay, if you want to create the sexiest bar, I'm like, I'm on this.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_02: I got this, and I think we delivered.
• 7:13
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, it's funny, Sean and I have been in broadcasting a long time, and we've lived here a long time, and the one thing we always talk about recently on the podcast is how no matter what, if you want to buy your cocktail garden at Caesars, there is a line.
• 7:25
  Dayna Roselli: You know what you're doing, and we just think, of course, Lisa's gonna open another one.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_02: I shouldn't know what I'm doing.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_02: It's a 30-something restaurant, but you know what?
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_02: It's about the people that come for the ambience, the enjoyment.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_02: Of course, the food and the cocktails in Van Bamba Ferry are off the hook.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_02: You're really gonna see they're curated, they're crafted, they're visual, it's the visual piece for the eyes.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_02: And as I say, it's been a labor of love, it really has.
• 7:51
  Sean McAllister: And I know that you're having your grand opening tonight, but is it too early to start thinking about the next step in your Vegas Empire?
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_02: Right now it is, but who knows?
• 8:01
  Dayna Roselli: Listen, we look forward to it.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you so much.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you so much, Mr.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_02: Fool.
• 8:05
  Sean McAllister: And I don't know if you could hear in the background there, but it was quite a scene outside of uh Lisa Vanderpump's new lounge there at the red carpet.
• 8:16
  Sean McAllister: And a lot of people were there not only to see Lisa Vanderpump, but to see the cast of her show on Bravo.
• 8:23
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 8:24
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, listen, my friend Christina, she's been waxing my eyebrows for like 15 years.
• 8:29
  Dayna Roselli: I told her I was going, and she said, Can I come?
• 8:31
  Dayna Roselli: She was like so excited.
• 8:32
  Dayna Roselli: And I don't watch Vanderpump Rules, so I didn't know, but I was like, Okay, yeah, sure, if you want.
• 8:38
  Dayna Roselli: And she's like, oh my god, she's like a mother, and like, you know, she's like, I'm gonna put on my dress, I'm gonna I can't wait, I'll meet you there, this and that.
• 8:46
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, she knew everyone.
• 8:48
  Dayna Roselli: She's like taking pictures with all these people, and they're so and so, and there's this person.
• 8:52
  Dayna Roselli: I'm like no idea who she was talking about because I don't watch the show.
• 8:56
  Dayna Roselli: But let me tell you, I want to watch the show now because I did meet a lot of them and they were so friendly and nice, and they all really were great to my friend who was kind of like starstruck over this whole thing.
• 9:06
  Dayna Roselli: They were so nice.
• 9:07
  Sean McAllister: That's so funny.
• 9:08
  Sean McAllister: Well, they've gotten used to fans coming up to them because they work at Lisa Vanderpump's restaurants in uh West Hollywood.
• 9:15
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 9:16
  Sean McAllister: So they're well, I say work.
• 9:19
  Sean McAllister: I don't know whether they're like on the staff all the time or whether they're on staff for the show specifically.
• 9:29
  Sean McAllister: But they're there a lot, without question.
• 9:32
  Sean McAllister: And they get a lot of fans coming in and they're great with those interactions.
• 9:37
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it was a lot of fun and it was a great crowd there.
• 9:41
  Dayna Roselli: We also ran into Lance Bass.
• 9:43
  Dayna Roselli: He was there to support Lisa and her new restaurant and lounge.
• 9:47
  Dayna Roselli: Lance Bass, we're talking about from InSync, the very, very popular boy band from back in the day.
• 9:52
  Dayna Roselli: Bye bye bye.
• 9:54
  Dayna Roselli: Um, we talk about the Backstreet boys a lot.
• 9:56
  Dayna Roselli: We don't talk about InSync as much, so I'm glad that we were able to talk to Lance.
• 9:59
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, so we pulled him aside.
• 10:01
  Sean McAllister: We didn't say bye bye bye, but we said hi, hi, hi.
• 10:05
  Dayna Roselli: We saw you, I think it was last weekend there was a sighting you were on.
• 10:07
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it seems like you spent a lot of time here.
• 10:09
  Dayna Roselli: So, do you enjoy Vegas?
• 10:11
  Dayna Roselli: Do you have plans to move here?
• 10:13
  Dayna Roselli: How about a residency?
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_03: Oh my gosh.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_03: Well, uh, yeah, I love my Vegas.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_03: You know, I used to live here years ago, so I really fell in love with it then.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and I've always wanted to be able to get back here, and we actually talk about it.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_03: So one day I see myself living in Vegas again.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_03: Now that Debbie and Nick and everyone's moving here, I'm like, well, okay, it's now I have friends here.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_03: Um but yeah, before the pandemic, we were here every three months.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_03: You know, this, but we haven't been really back in a lot since the pandemic started.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_03: But now that things are lifting, we'll be back a good bit.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_03: That one this opening, we'll be here a lot.
• 10:48
  Sean McAllister: Well, I know, and y are you excited to have Lisa expanding her Vanderpump Empire here in Vegas too?
• 10:55
  Sean McAllister: You better believe it.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_03: When she was talking about expanding it in Vegas years ago, I'm like, this is the best thing ever.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_03: In fact, you should turn Vanderpump rules and start doing it here.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_03: Like everyone's like, oh, we're moving to Vegas.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_03: Uh so I think this city was kind of made for her.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_03: You know, everyone loves opulence and luxury in this town, and you know, and she brings that in a very authentic way.
• 11:16
  Dayna Roselli: And I mean it's great to see so many, I feel like, you know, Vegas is such a mix of things.
• 11:21
  Dayna Roselli: Shows, entertainment venues, restaurants, and I feel like right now it seems like everyone's kind of trying to come up with their own thing in a good mix of stuff.
• 11:29
  Dayna Roselli: Do you feel like the variety of things to do here, the variety of things that are even celebrity-owned, is kind of a cool thing?
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_03: It's amazing.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, Vegas is where everyone comes for, you know, their staple restaurant, their staple club.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_03: And it's just a great mix of everything.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, if you're a fan of country music, there's gonna be something here for you.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_03: If you're a rap fan, something's gonna be here for you.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_03: If you love eating, definitely a place for you.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_03: Um, so yeah, I mean, it's it's kind of for everyone, and I think it's just gotten better and better every single year.
• 11:58
  Sean McAllister: So wait a second, once you move to Las Vegas, is there are you gonna open up a Lance Bass Lounge?
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, there won't be a Lance Bass Lounge, but I'm thinking about opening my own lighting store called Lamps Bass.
• 12:09
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, I like that! I told you there's something for everyone, for sure.
• 12:14
  Dayna Roselli: Well, fill us in on what you're currently doing.
• 12:16
  Dayna Roselli: You just you know, I know you do a lot of little things and here and there, and you've got shows and you're mixing with others, but how about you personally right now?
• 12:23
  Dayna Roselli: What are you up to?
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_03: Uh well right now, raising two twins, which has been such a blessing, and um, you know, they're six months old now, and it was incredible to be to be able to be with them every day these first six months, because usually I'd be on the road, you know, three days a week.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_03: I was gone.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_03: So uh it's been really nice not to be on the road during these first two months, which has been so great.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, but yeah, a lot of TV shows coming out next year.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_03: Um just sold an amazing show to a can't say the network right now, but that's gonna be my favorite one.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_03: I've been trying to sell it for 20 years.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_03: Um but it's great because in fact, Nick Carter is gonna be on with me.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_03: So together we're gonna be entering a new phase in our life together.
• 13:03
  unknown: Yeah, I love it.
• 13:05
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 13:06
  Dayna Roselli: All right, well, we look forward to all of that.
• 13:08
  Dayna Roselli: Thank you very much for joining us.
• 13:09
  Dayna Roselli: Thanks, Lance.
• 13:11
  Dayna Roselli: Love talking to Lance.
• 13:12
  Dayna Roselli: I haven't seen him in a long time.
• 13:14
  Dayna Roselli: He looks great, but he really does, doesn't he?
• 13:17
  Sean McAllister: Well, I feel like he's like he said, he's been, you know, focusing on fatherhood.
• 13:21
  Sean McAllister: He him, he and his husband have the twins.
• 13:24
  Sean McAllister: Um, I don't know.
• 13:25
  Sean McAllister: I feel like even though fatherhood can you can have your hands full, maybe he's you know, enjoying the the home life and happy and rested and healthy.
• 13:36
  Sean McAllister: And yeah, it was great to see Lance.
• 13:38
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, he did look, he did look very happy.
• 13:40
  Dayna Roselli: So um, okay, let's move on to John Legend.
• 13:44
  Dayna Roselli: Because we went there to opening night of his new show over at the Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood.
• 13:49
  Dayna Roselli: It's been a couple weeks since then, but he has plenty of shows coming up, and a bunch also even into, I think he's got some in August, he's got a bunch in October, so there's plenty of time to see John Legend.
• 14:00
  Sean McAllister: And the show is called Love in Las Vegas.
• 14:03
  Sean McAllister: And if you are, you know, familiar with John Legend's music, you know that it evokes love.
• 14:11
  Sean McAllister: It's got that smooth swagger and that vibe that you know it gets people in the mood.
• 14:18
  Sean McAllister: I have no doubt that people are going straight from the Zappos theater back to their hotel rooms on the strip.
• 14:23
  Dayna Roselli: It's a good date night show, that's for sure.
• 14:25
  Dayna Roselli: It is.
• 14:26
  Dayna Roselli: If you're expecting to go in and the crowd to be like standing the whole time and dancing around, it wasn't that type of show.
• 14:32
  Dayna Roselli: It wasn't like sit back, relax, enjoy the music kind of show.
• 14:36
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, John is super talented.
• 14:38
  Dayna Roselli: I was surprised.
• 14:39
  Dayna Roselli: I've never heard him sing live.
• 14:41
  Dayna Roselli: I think I heard him do like some piano stuff and sing a little at a fundraiser before, but like for a full show, I was really, I don't want to say surprised, but I l was impressed with how good his voice is.
• 14:53
  Sean McAllister: He's d absolutely phenomenal.
• 14:55
  Sean McAllister: And he's got the the backup singers, he's got a ton of dancers involved in the show, the uh scenery is beautiful.
• 15:04
  Sean McAllister: Um and he really does tell the story of his uh music journey, of his how he even got into music and you know the his roots in music from his childhood in the church and the influence his grandma has.
• 15:21
  Sean McAllister: So it's uh really a a story of like how John Legend became John Legend.
• 15:29
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it really is.
• 15:30
  Dayna Roselli: And listen, I don't follow a lot of his music.
• 15:33
  Dayna Roselli: I know the main ones.
• 15:34
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I enjoy listening to him play the piano and sing.
• 15:37
  Dayna Roselli: He did a couple covers that I thought were amazing, and I felt a little bit more like, okay, I know this song, you know?
• 15:43
  Dayna Roselli: So he did Bridge Over Troubled Water, yeah, and he did which was amazing, and he did Feelin' Good, which is a very popular song that a lot of I feel like artists incorporate into their Las Vegas shows.
• 15:54
  Dayna Roselli: But he was great.
• 15:55
  Dayna Roselli: His wife, Chrissy Teagan, was there over there in the front area on the VIP.
• 15:59
  Sean McAllister: And she was beautiful, she was into it.
• 16:01
  Dayna Roselli: She was into it, and the crowd was into Chrissy.
• 16:03
  Sean McAllister: They were.
• 16:03
  Dayna Roselli: So I felt a little bad because they kept yelling, We love you, Chrissy, and I thought, oh my goodness, this is John's show.
• 16:09
  Dayna Roselli: And then they showed her in like like on the screen in a video when he was going to change his outfit, and people start screaming, and so I did feel like a little like, oh, this is John's show.
• 16:19
  Dayna Roselli: But you know, they're a power couple, and I think Sean Legend is almost known more for his celebrity and star power than he is for his specific music, his certain uh you know, songs.
• 16:34
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, all of me is a smash hit, right?
• 16:36
  Dayna Roselli: And and and it played mainstream radio for a long time.
• 16:39
  Dayna Roselli: Everyone knows it.
• 16:40
  Dayna Roselli: It's played in every, I feel like, store where I go shopping, and there's been several versions.
• 16:44
  Dayna Roselli: But I do think there were some a lot of songs in there if you haven't followed John Legend that you just don't know.
• 16:50
  Dayna Roselli: So if you want to go enjoy music, you want to learn more about John Legend and his music, then this is a great show to go to, and you'll expect some covers and you'll expect an all of me at some point.
• 17:02
  Sean McAllister: And he did a good job.
• 17:04
  Sean McAllister: And collaborations he's done with other artists he includes in the show too.
• 17:08
  Dayna Roselli: So I thought I wanted that to go a little longer because he kind of moved through them.
• 17:13
  Dayna Roselli: I was kind of a little like, oh, but you know, listen, it's his show, and I'm sure he's gonna be either loving how it goes and keep it exactly how it is, or make some tweaks along the way.
• 17:22
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, love in Las Vegas playing over at Zappos Theater.
• 17:27
  Sean McAllister: Uh something else that we did that was that we had to take a nap in the evening to rest up for it.
• 17:34
  Sean McAllister: We went to Brian Newman's show.
• 17:36
  Sean McAllister: It's a late night show over at uh the Nomad Library.
• 17:41
  Sean McAllister: That's inside Park MGM.
• 17:43
  Sean McAllister: Uh Brian Newman is Lady Gaga's uh trumpeter and band leader, and he appears with Lady Gaga in her jazz and piano show, and then after that show wraps up, he takes a little break, then pops over to the Nomad Library and does this show that starts like at 11:30 midnight and it just goes right to the wee hours of the morning.
• 18:10
  Dayna Roselli: It does.
• 18:10
  Dayna Roselli: And I didn't like know what to expect as far as like if there'd be a menu or just cocktails, but I love that there was a menu of some food that you could order.
• 18:20
  Dayna Roselli: I loved that the room was big enough, but small enough for this like intimate feel of like the late night Vegas hang and it's beautiful.
• 18:30
  Sean McAllister: That room is gorgeous, yes.
• 18:32
  Dayna Roselli: It you know, and that's a restaurant normally.
• 18:34
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it was fun.
• 18:35
  Dayna Roselli: He came in, he had some show girls with him, which I thought was really fun.
• 18:38
  Dayna Roselli: Um, he had a great band with him, and you know, I was talking to some people we were with, they were like, you know, musically, this is insane.
• 18:45
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm terrible at that because to me, a lot of times I'm like, oh, they sound great, you know, like, you know, you had some drums and the trumpet and everything sounds wonderful, but um, you know, top-notch band with him and different was it his wife that she did a little burlesque during the show.
• 19:02
  Dayna Roselli: She was there, and so it was a good variety and kind of a different feel, I thought.
• 19:06
  Dayna Roselli: I had always wanted to check it out.
• 19:08
  Dayna Roselli: We had never been before, and we thought, let's go.
• 19:10
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, we were celebrating some some birthdays, and uh, you know, I thought it was an enjoyable time.
• 19:15
  Dayna Roselli: I thought it was good.
• 19:16
  Sean McAllister: And uh Brian Newman also has a lot of fellow musicians, his friends, who he brings into the show unannounced.
• 19:24
  Sean McAllister: Uh while we were there that night, uh Rashawn Ross, who was the trumpet player in the Dave Matthews band, was there.
• 19:31
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 19:32
  Sean McAllister: He came up, he did some songs, and I know from uh talking with at least a couple people who were also there in the crowd who are Dave Matthews band fans, they saw him walking in and they were like, Oh, this is going to be amazing.
• 19:46
  Sean McAllister: We love him, love him in the Dave Matthews band, but to see Rashawn Ross up on stage with Brian Newman was like kind of a highlight.
• 19:55
  Sean McAllister: It was pretty cool.
• 19:56
  Dayna Roselli: And I wonder if it changes because now a lot of videos I've seen on like Instagram and stuff, it kind of seemed like a rip roaring time.
• 20:03
  Dayna Roselli: I do feel like the night we went, it was a little bit more mellow.
• 20:06
  Dayna Roselli: There they were sing he was singing some slower songs, and it could be, you know, whoever he has there that night, that's the feel that you're gonna get.
• 20:14
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 20:15
  Dayna Roselli: So, but it was, you know, it was chill, enjoyable, chill, kind of fun when she did the burlesque, and fun when he worked the room.
• 20:23
  Dayna Roselli: There were moments that were super fun, but I didn't feel like it was like this, you know, rip roar and everyone's standing up, people jumping on the tables kind of thing, which I feel like a lot of videos that I've seen in the past from different nights have been a little like that.
• 20:36
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and I think the vibe can change from night to night, too, depending on, you know, obviously depending on you know the people who are there in the audience to see the show, depending on how you know Brian and his band are coming into the room that night to put on the show.
• 20:51
  Sean McAllister: So it does, it changes, but uh, Vegas doesn't really have a lot of late night entertainment, and so you know, this is a great option.
• 21:01
  Sean McAllister: If you're looking for something after dark, after you're you go to a late dinner, after you go to another show.
• 21:06
  Sean McAllister: Brian Newman over at uh the Nomad Library inside Park MGM, definitely a great option.
• 21:14
  Dayna Roselli: And the next day I slept in a little bit, then I went over to IU Day Club at Resorts World.
• 21:18
  Dayna Roselli: I wanted to check out their pool area.
• 21:20
  Dayna Roselli: We were invited over there, brought a friend from my building, we had a blast.
• 21:23
  Dayna Roselli: We went there.
• 21:24
  Dayna Roselli: You know, it's I liked it because it wasn't like huge.
• 21:27
  Dayna Roselli: Some of those pool clubs can get really big and a lot of people.
• 21:29
  Dayna Roselli: There was just the right amount of people there, which I really loved.
• 21:32
  Dayna Roselli: They brought a lot of samples of food out.
• 21:34
  Dayna Roselli: Their tacos were incredible.
• 21:36
  Dayna Roselli: I'm not gonna lie, the chicken fingers and the fries that they brought out were delicious.
• 21:39
  Sean McAllister: I love chicken fingers.
• 21:40
  Sean McAllister: I know, but I always feel good.
• 21:42
  Sean McAllister: I always feel like I'm five years old ordering them though.
• 21:45
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 21:46
  Dayna Roselli: But I love them.
• 21:46
  Dayna Roselli: But they brought out a big platter, and I was like, well, I didn't order them, they just happened to bring them out.
• 21:50
  Dayna Roselli: And then there was fruit, and anyway, we had a great time over there.
• 21:54
  Dayna Roselli: Um, a lot of fun.
• 21:55
  Dayna Roselli: They had like two little pool areas, they had some areas that were up top, and they had Had some DJs, you know, in the corner that you could either hang out in that area, but the music was good, and people seemed like they were having a lot of fun.
• 22:07
  Dayna Roselli: So I had never been there before, but again, that's over at Resorts World.
• 22:11
  Sean McAllister: And then uh I was over covering the NFL draft for uh the show Vegas on, um, which Dana and I are both correspondents for.
• 22:21
  Sean McAllister: Part of my my job was to, with that show, was to go over and you know cover everything going on with the NFL draft.
• 22:29
  Sean McAllister: They had the whole strip shut down in front of the Bellagio because they had that floating stage out there.
• 22:34
  Sean McAllister: If you watched any of the draft coverage or really any of the national news, the NFL draft in Las Vegas was being talked about and being shown all over.
• 22:45
  Sean McAllister: It was quite the spectacle, and then there was a whole fan experience uh behind the link, and over by the Caesars Forum, which is their convention center, uh back behind the high roller, the big observation reel.
• 22:57
  Sean McAllister: It was so much fun.
• 22:59
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, all the different experiences I saw, like the running, like the all the different um, I don't know what you call experiences, games.
• 23:04
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, there's like a 40-yard dash, you could, you know, football accuracy, uh uh skill tasks, activations, uh you could kick a field goal.
• 23:19
  Sean McAllister: Uh there was a lot of really neat stuff.
• 23:21
  Sean McAllister: Uh, you know, lots of displays from you know, with memorabilia from the top stars in the NFL right now.
• 23:28
  Sean McAllister: Uh you could get customized shirts, customized helmets.
• 23:32
  Dayna Roselli: Um I mean, it was a football lover's fantasy.
• 23:35
  Sean McAllister: And let me tell you, the fans who came into town were uh very well behaved, number one, and number two, they were just so excited to be in Las Vegas and taking part in the draft activities.
• 23:50
  Dayna Roselli: And while you were there, you ran into Chris Angel, who was a huge part of the draft broadcast.
• 23:56
  Dayna Roselli: He did two stunts, right?
• 23:58
  Sean McAllister: He did.
• 23:59
  Sean McAllister: So on day one of the draft, he uh before the draft started, he wrote down who he thought was going to be were going to be the players who were the first three draft picks, locked his guesses in a box, hoisted it up above the anchor desk for the ESPN setup that was out there, and we were watching all this happen.
• 24:23
  Sean McAllister: Uh so Chris locked his predictions in there, walked away, came back on after those draft picks were made.
• 24:32
  Sean McAllister: And if you were following anything, it was like a crapshoot.
• 24:37
  Sean McAllister: Nobody really knew who the first draft picks were going to be.
• 24:42
  Sean McAllister: Sometimes there's like inklings, oh, this player's gonna go to this team, this team's gonna choose this player.
• 24:48
  Sean McAllister: There was a wild card this year, and Chris got every single one of those right.
• 24:53
  Dayna Roselli: Incredible.
• 24:54
  Dayna Roselli: I when you were telling me on the phone, but I was like, please tell me he got them right.
• 24:57
  Dayna Roselli: And he was like, yes, and I was like, I expect no less.
• 25:00
  Dayna Roselli: He gets always gets it right.
• 25:01
  Sean McAllister: He does, and we're waiting to interview him backstage of the ESPN setup, so I didn't get to see the broadcast of his of the his predictions being opened up and read live on national TV.
• 25:14
  Sean McAllister: And I said, I was like, Chris, did you get the predictions right?
• 25:17
  Sean McAllister: And he looked at me with a the smirk that he has.
• 25:20
  Sean McAllister: He was like, Of course I do.
• 25:22
  Sean McAllister: Of course, I love it.
• 25:23
  Sean McAllister: And then draft day two, he did his stunt where he's hoisted up in the air upside down in a strait jacket and gets out of that.
• 25:32
  Sean McAllister: So definitely adding some Vegas flair to the draft.
• 25:35
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, because I always say his illusions are like my favorite.
• 25:38
  Dayna Roselli: I love his big illusions that he does, and it's really cool.
• 25:41
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, I'm not saying the strait jacket really is an illusion, but it's that's more of a kind of a that's a feat, yeah.
• 25:48
  Sean McAllister: It's really cool.
• 25:49
  Sean McAllister: Anyway, Vegas did a great job hosting the draft.
• 25:52
  Sean McAllister: I know there's a lot of chatter that the draft or a major NFL event needs to be held in Las Vegas, if not every year, every other year.
• 26:03
  Sean McAllister: Um, just because we're so well equipped to handle that kind of thing.
• 26:07
  Sean McAllister: Everything went so smoothly.
• 26:09
  Sean McAllister: Um well done to all involved who put that on.
• 26:12
  Dayna Roselli: And I think Chris just posted yesterday that it was one of the most watched drafts.
• 26:16
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, his you know, stunt was part of that.
• 26:19
  Dayna Roselli: So, but he was saying the impressions were through the roof, and you know, everyone just loved having it here.
• 26:24
  Dayna Roselli: It was great.
• 26:25
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 26:25
  Dayna Roselli: Um, something that we're gonna be doing soon on the 14th of May is we're gonna be going to RPM Italian, which is opening over at Caesars.
• 26:34
  Dayna Roselli: And then the following Monday, you and I have an interview scheduled with Bill and Juliana Ranc, who actually are partners in this restaurant.

• 28:35
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.

  Sean McAllister: Um, but it's kind of a quiz for you.
• 28:38
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, give it.
• 28:40
  Sean McAllister: Um so I know that we know a lot of Vegas headliners, and their names are household names across the country around the world.
• 28:50
  Sean McAllister: But how well do you think you know the real names of our Vegas headliners?
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I think pretty well.

  Dayna Roselli: It's isn't that interesting how everyone has different names?
• 31:29
  Dayna Roselli: And I know you said one more thing.
• 31:31
  Dayna Roselli: That was a lot of fun, by the way.
• 31:32
  Dayna Roselli: I thought I would know more, but I was thinking local headliners.
• 31:34
  Dayna Roselli: I was thinking people that live here and have had shows a long time, and you threw me with the, I don't want to say they're one-offs, but the ones that have come and gone.
• 31:42
  Sean McAllister: Right, the rotating.
• 31:43
  Sean McAllister: That was so rotating headliners.
• 31:44
  Dayna Roselli: So local Vegas-y of me, right?
• 31:46
  Sean McAllister: It was.
• 31:47
  Sean McAllister: It was.
• 31:48
  Dayna Roselli: But just wanted to mention, speaking of longtime headliners in Vegas, we did hit up Frank Marino's drag brunch, divas brunch over at the Westgate.
• 31:56
  Dayna Roselli: He's still in Legends in concert over at the Tropicana, but he did a weekend brunch uh with some of the divas that used to be in his uh show, very longtime show on the strip.
• 32:08
  Dayna Roselli: So it was a lot of fun.
• 32:09
  Dayna Roselli: They had a Liza and a Cher and a Celine.
• 32:12
  Dayna Roselli: And I really enjoyed the Taylor Swift.
• 32:15
  Dayna Roselli: Didn't you?
• 32:16
  Dayna Roselli: She was really good.
• 32:17
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my gosh, yes.
• 32:19
  Sean McAllister: And I wasn't expecting, I've never seen a Taylor Swift impersonator.
• 32:24
  Sean McAllister: Me either of that before.
• 32:25
  Sean McAllister: Really good.
• 32:26
  Sean McAllister: Like a drag impersonator.
• 32:27
  Sean McAllister: And it was it phenomenal.
• 32:29
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 32:29
  Dayna Roselli: The food was great.
• 32:30
  Dayna Roselli: The room was someplace I'd never been, but this it was kind of down the hall, and I guess it was kind of a lounge normally for VIPs, but they turned it into this beautiful room.
• 32:38
  Dayna Roselli: Frank was funny as I'll get out.
• 32:41
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 32:41
  Dayna Roselli: His one-liners, and he's so quick, right?
• 32:44
  Dayna Roselli: And then he was taking questions and telling stories.
• 32:46
  Dayna Roselli: So it was an enjoyable Sunday morning.
• 32:48
  Dayna Roselli: We went to the 11 a.m.
• 32:49
  Dayna Roselli: show.
• 32:50
  Dayna Roselli: For now, there isn't one on the schedule to come back, but I think, you know, as Frank always does, he's always got something in the works.
• 32:56
  Sean McAllister: He does.
• 32:57
  Sean McAllister: He does.
• 32:57
  Sean McAllister: And I love that you can still see Frank over at the trout, too.
• 33:01
  Dayna Roselli: All right, let's do some tips.
• 33:06
  Dayna Roselli: All right, our first tip has something to do with public transportation.
• 33:10
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, it's not something we have a lot of here in Las Vegas.
• 33:14
  Dayna Roselli: We're getting better at it.
• 33:15
  Dayna Roselli: We for sure are.
• 33:16
  Dayna Roselli: But, and it the monorail has been around for a while.
• 33:20
  Dayna Roselli: You just don't hear about it that often, right?
• 33:22
  Dayna Roselli: Not a lot of people take it unless they go to a convention and they're getting to and from their hotel.
• 33:28
  Dayna Roselli: I feel like kind of the locals and a lot of the visitors don't use it.
• 33:33
  Dayna Roselli: But you used it to get to the NFL draft and it worked brilliantly.
• 33:37
  Sean McAllister: It was like the easiest way around that I could even imagine.
• 33:42
  Sean McAllister: And it didn't dawn on me until kind of at the last minute.
• 33:45
  Sean McAllister: I was like, oh, you know what?
• 33:47
  Sean McAllister: It might be easier to park at the Westgate, hop on the monorail, and just zip right down to Bally's and be right next to the entrance to the NFL draft experience.
• 33:59
  Sean McAllister: So that's exactly what I did.
• 34:01
  Sean McAllister: And they had available for the event uh a two-day pass for 20 bucks, which is what I did.
• 34:08
  Sean McAllister: And that's an unlimited pass, too.
• 34:11
  Sean McAllister: So listen, if you're coming into town and you need to get around up and down the strip, that's one of the easiest ways to do it.
• 34:18
  Sean McAllister: It goes all the way from MGM Grand down uh by Paris and Bally's, Flamingo, uh the Las Vegas Convention Center, uh the Westgate, and then to Sahara.
• 34:33
  Sean McAllister: So it really runs pretty much the length of that main resort corridor on Las Vegas Boulevard.
• 34:40
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, the east side of the resort corridor, right?
• 34:43
  Dayna Roselli: So like everything on the west, you'll have to cross the road, but it still may be a quicker way to get there.
• 34:47
  Sean McAllister: Exactly.
• 34:47
  Sean McAllister: It's faster than waiting in traffic, I'll tell you that.
• 34:52
  Sean McAllister: But after I bought my ticket, I was reading around on the monorail website while I was on the monorail, and I found out that there are one dollar tickets for Las Vegas locals.
• 35:05
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 35:05
  Sean McAllister: And then Dana, you reminded me, you were like, Yeah, I told you that.
• 35:08
  Dayna Roselli: I told you that.
• 35:09
  Dayna Roselli: I always say that.
• 35:10
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, I used to go to for New Year's Eve, a dollar fifty, you just show your Nevada ID or you can scan it or whatever.
• 35:15
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 35:16
  Dayna Roselli: And it locals get cheap prices.
• 35:18
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it's and the thing is, is people think, well, where do I park to get to the monorail?
• 35:24
  Dayna Roselli: But even you were thinking of the convention center, and I was like, took a picture across the street from you, and I said, This empty lot at Westgate, where I think a lot of like, I don't know, trucks and RVs kind of park is very open, and you can park or you can park in the garage or whatever, and there's a monorail station right there.
• 35:40
  Sean McAllister: There is, it couldn't have been easier.
• 35:42
  Sean McAllister: And I think a lot of times the convention center has, especially for big events, they have uh lots reserved for monorail riders.
• 35:53
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 35:53
  Sean McAllister: Um, so that you don't have to pay.
• 35:55
  Dayna Roselli: Um and I think somebody told me for the draft they did have free parking at the convention center.
• 36:02
  Dayna Roselli: They made it available, yeah.
• 36:03
  Sean McAllister: They did.
• 36:03
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, but it could not have been easier.
• 36:06
  Sean McAllister: You get great views of the strip, you get an up-close view of the sphere that's being built right behind the Venetian.
• 36:14
  Sean McAllister: You go right next to that, which is gonna make that a super convenient way to uh get around once events start being held there.
• 36:23
  Sean McAllister: But I can't say enough great things about the monorail.
• 36:26
  Sean McAllister: It was quick, easy, convenient, affordable.
• 36:30
  Sean McAllister: It's a lot less than you would pay for even one Uber ride.
• 36:34
  Sean McAllister: Oh my gosh.
• 36:34
  Sean McAllister: A ticket on the monorail, and it's you can get unlimited rides for the cost uh of less than one Uber ride.
• 36:42
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, true.
• 36:42
  Dayna Roselli: And I think um something that we might use more often, right?
• 36:47
  Dayna Roselli: We have a lot of things over there.
• 36:48
  Dayna Roselli: And you think about you know the walking.
• 36:50
  Dayna Roselli: Some people are like, well, you have to walk, you do have to walk a little way once you enter the hotel.
• 36:54
  Dayna Roselli: But I mean the thing is is if you're gonna be walking around regardless, you're not adding that much more walking to the trip.
• 37:00
  Dayna Roselli: You're just coming in from a different angle.
• 37:02
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 37:03
  Sean McAllister: So, like, yeah, you're gonna be walking if you're down on the strip anyway, even if you park in a parking garage, it's a it's a walk to get to anywhere inside of a resort.
• 37:13
  Sean McAllister: So don't consider the walking, but do consider the fact that a lot of places you have to pay to park now.
• 37:20
  Sean McAllister: True.
• 37:21
  Sean McAllister: And a monorail ticket is a lot of times less than what it would cost to park on the strip.
• 37:28
  SPEAKER_00: So Right?
• 37:29
  Sean McAllister: Way less food for thought.
• 37:31
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, food for thought and one thing.
• 37:33
  Dayna Roselli: True.
• 37:33
  Dayna Roselli: And one other point, I don't know if it was with you, we were talking about the monorail, and somebody said, Oh, I might take my kids on that.
• 37:39
  Dayna Roselli: They might actually, they love like, you know, that kind of thing.
• 37:42
  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, Yeah, it is very fun, you know, Disneylandish, and you get to see some cool things.
• 37:47
  Dayna Roselli: They'll go near the flamingo pool and see, you know, and then you get behind the things and it's fun to look at.
• 37:52
  Dayna Roselli: So it could be a little family trip, too, a little family ride.
• 37:54
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and the announcement when they when it pulls up to the different uh monorail stops, like it gives you little bits of uh history and like it tells you, okay, we're pulling up to Flamingo Station.
• 38:06
  Sean McAllister: This is the closest station if you are going to Caesar's Palace or whatever.
• 38:11
  Sean McAllister: So it gives you little bits of information as you're you're on there too to help you navigate the strip after your monorail ride.
• 38:18
  Dayna Roselli: I love that.
• 38:19
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 38:20
  Dayna Roselli: Good, good tip.
• 38:21
  Dayna Roselli: Um, another tip that we had was a new show that's opened at the Stratosphere.
• 38:25
  Dayna Roselli: Now, Sean and I are going, it's actually the strat.
• 38:27
  Dayna Roselli: Sorry.
• 38:28
  Dayna Roselli: It's not the stratosphere anymore.
• 38:29
  Dayna Roselli: They'll come over and slap my hand.
• 38:32
  Dayna Roselli: The strat.
• 38:33
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, and it's at the strat.
• 38:34
  Dayna Roselli: You and I are going to one of the grand opening nights, but um, just want to let people know because I feel like people often ask, like, what are the shows that I can't get anywhere else that's, you know, maybe a little risque, but fun and different.
• 38:46
  Dayna Roselli: And I think this could be something for that group of people that are looking for that.
• 38:50
  Dayna Roselli: It's called Rouge.
• 38:52
  Dayna Roselli: You and I were talking to our friend that is the publicist for the show, and he was saying there's a kind of a little something for everyone in the show, but it's very steamy and sultry and and a little bit like Zoomanity that was one of Cirque shows that was at New York, New York for a very long time.
• 39:07
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 39:08
  Sean McAllister: Because in that show, there was, you know, it was a very sensual show.
• 39:11
  Sean McAllister: There were girls dancing with girls, girls and guys, guys and guys, and that's what Rouge has.
• 39:18
  Sean McAllister: They have a cast of not just sexy females, there's sexy guys in there too, and everybody's, you know, being all sexy together.
• 39:27
  Sean McAllister: Oh, sexy together, acrobatics, and you know, a lot of cool stuff that they form this show around.
• 39:35
  Sean McAllister: So I'm excited to see it.
• 39:36
  Sean McAllister: I think it'll be a good addition over at the Strat.
• 39:39
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and it is open now over at the Strat.
• 39:42
  Dayna Roselli: So look it up.
• 39:43
  Dayna Roselli: Rouge is the name of the show, and we'll keep you posted on what we think after we go see it.
• 39:48
  Dayna Roselli: Also, a quick little tip Lady Gaga has a new single out, and it's in the new Top Gun Maverick movie.
• 39:55
  Dayna Roselli: Did you know that, Sean?
• 39:57
  Sean McAllister: I didn't until you told me.
• 39:58
  Dayna Roselli: I'm really excited about this.
• 40:00
  Dayna Roselli: The single actually already came out.
• 40:02
  Dayna Roselli: Top Gun Maverick comes out May 27th, but the little Vegas hook, FYI, is that Tom Cruise just went to Lady Gaga's jazz and piano show at Park MGM.
• 40:12
  Dayna Roselli: She posted some pictures of him backstage with her, said thank you to my friend Tom Cruise for coming.
• 40:16
  Dayna Roselli: And so I thought that was kind of cool.
• 40:18
  Dayna Roselli: I love that they're kind of embracing each other, you know?
• 40:20
  Sean McAllister: And Dana said, Are you freaking kidding me?
• 40:23
  Sean McAllister: Tom Cruise is on the strip and I'm not there in the room.
• 40:27
  Sean McAllister: Are you kidding?
• 40:28
  Sean McAllister: So upset.
• 40:29
  Sean McAllister: I can't believe no one gave you a heads up.
• 40:31
  Dayna Roselli: I can't even believe nobody called me, but I'm sure he wasn't like What's Roselli up to?
• 40:37
  Dayna Roselli: That.
• 40:37
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm sure he wasn't like visibly like just plopped in the middle of the theater either.
• 40:41
  Dayna Roselli: I'm sure he had his own section and some security.
• 40:44
  Dayna Roselli: But somebody did comment under the picture.
• 40:47
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and I forget who it was.
• 40:48
  Dayna Roselli: It was someone to do with the staff or record producer, and like he had a great time too.
• 40:52
  Dayna Roselli: He loved the show.
• 40:52
  Dayna Roselli: So I don't know if they were sitting near him, talk to him backstage, but apparently he really, really enjoyed it.
• 40:57
  Sean McAllister: It is a great show.
• 40:58
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
