  Dayna Roselli: Welcome to episode 157 of Vegas Revealed.
• 2:20
  Dayna Roselli: Dana and Sean here, and just like the rest of the country, we've had a crazy week of weather here in Las Vegas.
• 2:27
  Dayna Roselli: Sean, two days ago, I was literally at the pool.
• 2:30
  Sean McAllister: I saw that.
• 2:31
  Sean McAllister: I was like, man, Roselli's getting a jump on tanning season.
• 2:35
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, me and my friend Robin went down there to the pool.
• 2:38
  Dayna Roselli: We had lunch.
• 2:39
  Dayna Roselli: We just sat out and did whatever we'd be doing in our apartments or condos that day.
• 2:43
  Dayna Roselli: We just did it by the pool on our phone, on our computer, just hung out.
• 2:46
  Dayna Roselli: And it wasn't even cold in any way.
• 2:48
  Dayna Roselli: When that sun shines and it's 70 degrees, it's warm.
• 2:51
  Sean McAllister: It is, it's beautiful.
• 2:52
  Dayna Roselli: But today we're sitting here recording a podcast and it's snowing.
• 2:56
  Sean McAllister: Crazy.
• 2:57
  Sean McAllister: This is what the second week that we've talked about snow.
• 3:00
  Sean McAllister: I know.
• 3:01
  Dayna Roselli: And when we say snow, it's like we can see white stuff coming down.
• 3:04
  Sean McAllister: It doesn't stick.
• 3:05
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it's not very like large flakes.
• 3:08
  Dayna Roselli: What is that?
• 3:08
  Dayna Roselli: I think I just listened to one of our weather guys to call it grapple, which is like a mix of like I don't know.
• 3:14
  Sean McAllister: It's like a snow sleek.
• 3:16
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 3:16
  Sean McAllister: Like a or is that the stuff when it is snow in the air, but then it's liquid by the time it touches the ground?
• 3:24
  Dayna Roselli: Something like that.
• 3:25
  Sean McAllister: One of those weather terms.
• 3:26
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, we'll leave it to the meteorologist on that one.
• 3:28
  Dayna Roselli: But that's what they were saying was happening right now.
• 3:30
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, yeah, it's been a wild uh weather week, that's for sure.
• 3:35
  Dayna Roselli: So um, if you come to Vegas, be prepared during these months.
• 3:38
  Dayna Roselli: You really never know what you're gonna get.
• 3:40
  Sean McAllister: You don't, and it's funny, I saw a post on uh social media the other day because we had you know crazy 70 mile per hour winds that came through.
• 3:49
  Sean McAllister: It was really nuts.
• 3:50
  Sean McAllister: And and someone said it's perfect here for nine months of the year, and the other three, you're playing weather roulette.
• 3:58
  Sean McAllister: True.
• 3:58
  Sean McAllister: I was like, that is very accurate.
• 4:00
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 4:00
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, we don't have anything like it never seems like major, major, but last night's wind, I felt like was the windiest night for me living in a high rise for the last about 10 years that I've ever experienced.
• 4:13
  Dayna Roselli: Um, pictures actually fell off my walls.
• 4:16
  Dayna Roselli: Really?
• 4:16
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, the walls were shaking.
• 4:18
  Dayna Roselli: That's how windy it was.
• 4:20
  Sean McAllister: Wow.
• 4:20
  Dayna Roselli: I'm pretty high up in the high rise, so I'm sure the wind I might get it a little bit more than most people that are down on the ground.
• 4:28
  Dayna Roselli: But um, all of a sudden I heard bang and like this picture fell off the wall.
• 4:32
  Sean McAllister: Oh my gosh.
• 4:33
  Dayna Roselli: And then on a shelf, I had like a picture leaning against the wall, and that fell forward.
• 4:38
  Dayna Roselli: It was crazy.
• 4:39
  Dayna Roselli: The lights started blinking, the Wi-Fi went out.
• 4:41
  Dayna Roselli: Never lost power though.
• 4:42
  Sean McAllister: Well, that's good.
• 4:44
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 4:44
  Dayna Roselli: My rug on my patio was flipped up and on the other side of the patio.
• 4:48
  Sean McAllister: But lucky you still have a rug on your patio.
• 4:50
  Dayna Roselli: It's true, it's true.
• 4:51
  Dayna Roselli: It's weird where my patio is placed.
• 4:52
  Dayna Roselli: For some reason, the wind does not knock over things as much as you think it would.
• 4:58
  Dayna Roselli: It kind of, I don't know, sits in a weird pocket set back.
• 5:01
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, it has definitely been a wild weather week.
• 5:04
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, so just keep that in mind.
• 5:05
  Sean McAllister: When you come to uh Vegas during the wintertime, it it can be a mixed bag sometimes.
• 5:13
  Sean McAllister: Well, you know, we have seen a lot of over-the-top entertainment here in Las Vegas.
• 5:17
  Sean McAllister: There's no doubt about that.
• 5:18
  Sean McAllister: We've seen bands perform on the Bellagio Fountains, up on the rooftops of uh casinos on the strip and downtown, even at the Grand Canyon.
• 5:28
  Sean McAllister: But there's another music event that's coming up, uh, the likes of which we have never seen.
• 5:33
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, this is gonna be interesting.
• 5:35
  Dayna Roselli: Apparently, this has never been done before, which I guess I didn't really think about or realize.
• 5:40
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, me either.
• 5:41
  Dayna Roselli: But Billy Idol is having a concert at the Hoover Dam.
• 5:44
  Dayna Roselli: And the Hoover Dam's been around for I think it's almost 90 years, and they have never done a concert there.
• 5:50
  Dayna Roselli: Um, only 250 people are gonna be allowed to watch this concert live, but they are filming it.
• 5:56
  Dayna Roselli: So I have a feeling we're all gonna see it eventually, um, whatever they decide to do with it.
• 6:01
  Dayna Roselli: But um, they have packages happening, uh, same-day tickets, but again, it's very limited.
• 6:07
  Dayna Roselli: It's gonna be under the stars on April 8th.
• 6:11
  Dayna Roselli: And Billy Idol wants to bring awareness to the drought in the west um of the country, the western part of the country.
• 6:19
  Dayna Roselli: And so he's doing this awareness concert.
• 6:23
  Dayna Roselli: And it also says uh he's gonna bring along some of his friends and some special guest performances.
• 6:27
  Dayna Roselli: So I don't know who else is gonna pop up, but I can only expect it's gonna be pretty cool.
• 6:31
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and this is gonna be happening.
• 6:33
  Sean McAllister: So on one side of the Hoover Dam, you have uh Lake Mead or what's left of Lake Mead.
• 6:38
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 6:39
  Sean McAllister: Uh on the other side, you have that big canyon uh where you really see the drop-off of the Hoover Dam.
• 6:46
  Sean McAllister: And it sounds like they're gonna be setting up a stage down uh at the bottom of the canyon so that you know, as you watch the show, uh I it looks like there's gonna be all sorts of projections and lights up on the on the side of the dam.
• 7:01
  Sean McAllister: Um, and that will be the backdrop for Billy Idol and his guest performers.
• 7:06
  Sean McAllister: So that yeah, really unique and intimate event.
• 7:10
  Sean McAllister: I'm excited to see how this goes off.
• 7:12
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, it does look cool.
• 7:13
  Dayna Roselli: Listen, you can go to thisisvertigo.live to get information.
• 7:18
  Dayna Roselli: I think I saw that most same-day single tickets are gone, but the packages are still available.
• 7:24
  Dayna Roselli: They have like packages where you can stay at the Waldorf uh Historia.
• 7:28
  Dayna Roselli: There's gonna be a bus that leaves there to take you to the Hoover Dam.
• 7:31
  Dayna Roselli: There's a welcome party at the Hard Rock Cafe uh Friday night.
• 7:35
  Dayna Roselli: There's a brunch with um one of the, I think it's like uh one of the performers on Sunday.
• 7:42
  Dayna Roselli: So there's a whole bunch of stuff that you can take a look at, but get it while it's hot because I think they're gonna go quick.
• 7:47
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 7:47
  Sean McAllister: Uh for a one-of-a-kind event like that, they're not gonna be hurting for uh ticket sales for sure.
• 7:54
  Dayna Roselli: By the way, I've seen Billy Idle perform at House of Blues at Mandalay Bay, and he was great.
• 7:58
  Dayna Roselli: Was he?
• 7:58
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, really good.
• 8:00
  Dayna Roselli: He even whipped his shirt off.
• 8:01
  Dayna Roselli: I think we talked about this, and I was like, good for you.
• 8:03
  Dayna Roselli: He looked great.
• 8:04
  Dayna Roselli: Billy will bring it down at the Hoover Dams.
• 8:06
  Sean McAllister: Keep on rocking.
• 8:07
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 8:08
  Sean McAllister: Well, you know, right now, if you live in Nevada, Dana, like we each do, and we want to play the lottery, we have to either call our parents back home in New York and be like, hey, when you're out, can you pick up some lotto tickets for me?
• 8:24
  Sean McAllister: And you know, do the Venmo exchange.
• 8:27
  Sean McAllister: Or you have to drive to California or Arizona to buy tickets because those are the closest states with lotteries.
• 8:35
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 8:35
  Sean McAllister: But that could be changing.
• 8:37
  Dayna Roselli: And this has been talked about for years and years and years, and everyone's always shocked.
• 8:41
  Dayna Roselli: Why doesn't Nevada have the lottery?
• 8:43
  Sean McAllister: I miss the lottery.
• 8:44
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 8:44
  Dayna Roselli: I love it.
• 8:45
  Dayna Roselli: It's fun.
• 8:45
  Dayna Roselli: It is fun.
• 8:46
  Dayna Roselli: But I guess, you know, we have enough going on with you know, we've allowed gaming for how long, right?
• 8:51
  Sean McAllister: Um, and so you do, but scratcher tickets are great.
• 8:54
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 8:54
  Dayna Roselli: It is fun, but they're addicting.
• 8:56
  Sean McAllister: It does uh oh, it sounds like there's a story here.
• 9:00
  Dayna Roselli: No, no, I was just gonna say there, I mean something that I was just gonna say that it's something that I feel like everyone in New York gives people on their in their birthday card.
• 9:08
  Sean McAllister: Oh, don't you agree?
• 9:09
  Sean McAllister: Growing up, I got scratchers almost every single year in my birthday card and in my stocking.
• 9:14
  Dayna Roselli: My stocking.
• 9:15
  Dayna Roselli: Yep.
• 9:15
  Dayna Roselli: In fact, I did a scratch off when I was home during the holidays and I won 50 bucks.
• 9:19
  Dayna Roselli: Look at that.
• 9:19
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 9:20
  Sean McAllister: See, they start us young in New York, don't they?
• 9:22
  Sean McAllister: They do.
• 9:23
  Dayna Roselli: But it would be great to have those where we could.
• 9:26
  Dayna Roselli: I love being able to just put scratch offs in someone's card when you can't think of what to get them.
• 9:30
  Sean McAllister: It is nice.
• 9:31
  Dayna Roselli: It is.
• 9:32
  Dayna Roselli: But anyway, side note.
• 9:33
  Dayna Roselli: Um, yeah, and so it's always surprising that Nevada, you know, being a gambling state, we didn't have a lottery.
• 9:38
  Dayna Roselli: So now we're um considering it, apparently.
• 9:41
  Dayna Roselli: It's a proposed amendment to the Nevada Constitution, which would open the door to establish a state lottery.
• 9:48
  Dayna Roselli: And apparently they want to raise money to fund youth mental health programs.
• 9:53
  Dayna Roselli: So that's what they're going for right now.
• 9:55
  Dayna Roselli: And we'll have to see where it goes.
• 9:57
  Dayna Roselli: It could be interesting to follow, and it could be interesting to see if Nevada gets this.
• 10:01
  Dayna Roselli: And, you know, I bet we can make a lot of money for services.
• 10:05
  Sean McAllister: This is something I'm all for.
• 10:07
  Sean McAllister: I know a lot of the uh big casinos and resorts are not in favor or historically have not been in favor of a lottery, but I think people would uh love it.
• 10:19
  Sean McAllister: And if it's raising money to go for a good a good cause and a need within the state, that's a great thing too.
• 10:27
  Sean McAllister: I know when we were growing up in New York, um the state lottery money went to the education system across New York State.
• 10:36
  Sean McAllister: So you know, and it raises a bunch of money.
• 10:40
  Sean McAllister: So hopefully here in Nevada it uh, you know, could end up helping out uh youth mental health programs and who knows if it makes enough.
• 10:49
  Sean McAllister: There could be other things that benefit down the line.
• 10:51
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I mean in New York State has some of the best schools, you know.
• 10:54
  Dayna Roselli: Um that's where we grew up.
• 10:57
  Dayna Roselli: But um, yeah, Nevada ranking 39th uh on a study that was uh done at UNLV for access to mental health care.
• 11:08
  Dayna Roselli: So they feel like that's something that we really need to low end.
• 11:11
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, to up here in Nevada.
• 11:13
  Dayna Roselli: So we'll see what happens.
• 11:14
  Dayna Roselli: We will definitely keep you posted on that one though, because that'll be interesting to follow.
• 11:17
  Dayna Roselli: I feel like it's been tried and attempted so many times, but it's always failed.
• 11:21
  Dayna Roselli: So maybe this time it'll fly.
• 11:22
  Sean McAllister: I have my lucky penny ready for some scratchers whenever it happens.
• 11:26
  Dayna Roselli: Yep, get your key out, your penny.
• 11:28
  Dayna Roselli: The key never works as good as the penny, though.
• 11:30
  Dayna Roselli: No, it doesn't.
• 11:31
  Dayna Roselli: You need a coin.
• 11:32
  Dayna Roselli: Like a dent.
• 11:32
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 11:33
  Dayna Roselli: We know, we know.
• 11:34
  Dayna Roselli: Um, okay, this is something that we haven't talked about in a while.
• 11:38
  Dayna Roselli: The future of the Rio.
• 11:39
  Dayna Roselli: And we're talking about the Rio Hotel that is just off the strip.
• 11:43
  Dayna Roselli: It's been a Caesars property for many, many years.
• 11:47
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but recently taken over by someone else and kind of rented back to the Rio, or sorry, to the uh to Caesars for a while, right?
• 11:55
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and now that owner is taking back full operation of the Rio.
• 12:00
  Sean McAllister: And as part of doing so, there's gonna be a massive renovation of the property going on a little later this year.
• 12:08
  Dayna Roselli: And I think we have noted before it definitely needs a renovation.
• 12:11
  Sean McAllister: It's been uh uh stuck in the same era for a while.
• 12:16
  Dayna Roselli: It has.
• 12:16
  Sean McAllister: And you know what?
• 12:17
  Sean McAllister: I have stayed there before, but those rooms are huge.
• 12:21
  Sean McAllister: It's uh you know, the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino.
• 12:24
  Sean McAllister: They it's all suites, like the name says.
• 12:27
  Sean McAllister: So they're big rooms, they have great views.
• 12:30
  Sean McAllister: Um I would love to see I have some wild memories of the Rio late nights.
• 12:38
  Sean McAllister: Uh I would love to see the Rio have a uh fresh air breathed into it.
• 12:44
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I we ever people were talking about it was gonna get knocked down for so long, and then we were like, but it's such a big building.
• 12:50
  Dayna Roselli: It's like you couldn't just renovate it and make it a nice hotel.
• 12:52
  Dayna Roselli: It's not too far from the strip, and like you said, it has great views because it's just set off the strip, like the palms.
• 12:58
  Dayna Roselli: Um that bar or lounge at the top has a great view.
• 13:01
  Dayna Roselli: Voodoo voodoo.
• 13:02
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 13:03
  Dayna Roselli: I forgot about voodoo.
• 13:04
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my gosh.
• 13:05
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I've been up there too.
• 13:06
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I've never stayed at the Rio, so interesting to know that you have and that the rooms are big and nice.
• 13:12
  Dayna Roselli: That's interesting.
• 13:12
  Dayna Roselli: Giant, yeah.
• 13:13
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 13:14
  Dayna Roselli: So they need a little refurb.
• 13:15
  Dayna Roselli: Apparently, um he and I when I say he, the landlord, current landlord, um, the firm that he is part of, Dreamscape Companies, has raised$850 million in capital.
• 13:29
  Dayna Roselli: It's gonna use the funds to launch a real estate investment trust that will own the casino, hospitality, and entertainment assets, and then form an entity to operate the business.
• 13:40
  Dayna Roselli: So it's a whole financial thing for all the intricate stuff, you know.
• 13:44
  Dayna Roselli: Google it.
• 13:45
  Dayna Roselli: For us, we just want you to know it's gonna be rentivated and they're uh renovated, and there's a possibility that a baseball stadium could go up next door.
• 13:53
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 13:54
  Sean McAllister: On land that uh the Rio owns, uh, that is one of the uh sites that you know is being tossed around as a potential location for uh the Oakland A's if they make a move here to Las Vegas.
• 14:08
  Sean McAllister: So stay tuned for that.
• 14:09
  Sean McAllister: I'm excited for the Rio.
• 14:11
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that'll be much needed.
• 14:13
  Dayna Roselli: Um, okay, coming up, we're gonna talk a little bit about a red carpet that I did on Saturday with tons of rock and rollers like Rick Springfield, Sammy Hagar, um, Kevin Cronin of Ario Speedwagon.
• 14:24
  Dayna Roselli: I'm gonna talk about that.
• 14:25
  Dayna Roselli: We're gonna talk about a movie being shot um here in town with Mark Wahlberg, and we have a lot of other things to discuss.
• 14:34
  Dayna Roselli: But first we wanna hit up the Super Bowl again because as of our release date, there are 351 days until Super Bowl 58 here in Las Vegas.
• 14:44
  Dayna Roselli: It's coming quick.
• 14:45
  Sean McAllister: So forget counting down to Christmas.
• 14:46
  Sean McAllister: We're counting down to the Super Bowl because we love it.
• 14:50
  Sean McAllister: You've already heard us uh talking about the Super Bowl coming to Las Vegas.
• 14:55
  Sean McAllister: You probably heard it at many other places as well.
• 14:58
  Sean McAllister: So we are the host city in 2024, and there have been signs of the excitement for the big game uh all over Las Vegas, including on Marquee's along the Las Vegas Strip, which have been lit with a countdown to the big kickoff.
• 15:16
  Dayna Roselli: And we talked last week, like you said, about the Super Bowl.
• 15:20
  Dayna Roselli: The Super Ball.
• 15:22
  Dayna Roselli: It's so so hard not to say Super Bowl.
• 15:26
  Dayna Roselli: It's the Super Ball, the Vegas Super Bowl arrived from Arizona.
• 15:32
  Dayna Roselli: Huge football with the logo of the Super Bowl and our Las Vegas logo on it.
• 15:37
  Dayna Roselli: So that was fun.
• 15:38
  Dayna Roselli: We went to Allegiance Stadium to see the Super Bowl.
• 15:42
  Dayna Roselli: Last week I told you I wanted a picture with it.
• 15:44
  Dayna Roselli: I got my picture, so that's all done.
• 15:47
  Dayna Roselli: It's all over social media.
• 15:49
  Dayna Roselli: But we also were able to chat with Steve Hill, who is the president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
• 15:59
  Dayna Roselli: It was fun to catch up with Steve.
• 16:01
  Dayna Roselli: And I'll admit, we bugged him a little for some details, but come on, give us something that that nobody's heard before.
• 16:08
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, we stopped him, we talked to him, and here's that interview.
• 16:11
  Dayna Roselli: We have watched uh well, it all started out in Arizona, right?
• 16:15

  Sean McAllister: And uh, being down in Phoenix and seeing everything that that just went on, uh, what have you learned?
• 16:36
  Sean McAllister: Did you get what ideas did you gather?
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you know, Phoenix did a great job, uh, really did, and they've got a lot of experience doing this, but uh Las Vegas has 60 years of experience putting on great events, and so we're really confident uh we're gonna do a great job.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_01: Um the expectations are super high in Las Vegas.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_01: Um we did have the opportunity to look at all of the different events in Phoenix and uh you know get some um behind the scenes uh information that's really helpful.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_01: Um so we're we would appreciate their help on that.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_01: No shortage of uh one-upmanship that's gonna happen.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_01: Uh yeah, no, this is this is definitely a contest and we're pretty competitive.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_01: Um and you know, the expectations of the Super Bowl, the biggest event in the United States in the city that is the best in the world at hosting events, uh the expectations and the performance is gonna be really high.
• 17:30
  Dayna Roselli: And so many people have been asking, like, what are we gonna- is it gonna be like a week of events, a month of events, I mean a year of events?
• 17:37
  Dayna Roselli: What can you tell us?
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_01: Well, there'll be some some interesting events along the way to the Super Bowl.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_01: Um the the week itself is really a concentrated week of events that are happening all that'll happen all over the city.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_01: Some will be a part of what the NFL sanctions, but the you know, the city's gonna take advantage of everything there is to do around uh the Super Bowl as well.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_01: Um but you'll feel the uh the momentum building as we get uh to that week.
• 18:06
  Dayna Roselli: We have a lot of listeners from all around, really the country and the world.
• 18:10
  Dayna Roselli: Should they all come to Vegas for the Super Bowl?
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely, they all do already, right?
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_01: We have more people in Las Vegas for the Super Bowl when it's not here than the city that's hosting the Super Bowl.
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, we're gonna be full and it's gonna be a funny.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_01: And uh are we the first ones to have a Super Bowl?
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_01: Of course.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_01: We're gonna be you're gonna be a number of first for uh Las Vegas that we'll set over the coming year.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_01: This is just the first of many.
• 18:37
  Dayna Roselli: So plan early, right?
• 18:38
  Dayna Roselli: If you're coming, plan early, book your hotels, do all that now, maybe.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no, it would be a good idea to uh to lock that down, make sure uh that you've got a place to stay and get ready.
• 18:49
  Dayna Roselli: Well, listen, we're looking forward to it.
• 18:50
  Sean McAllister: And I think we're also looking forward to uh what we're going to see at halftime during Super Bowl 58.
• 18:58
  Sean McAllister: Can you uh spill any information about what to expect?
• 19:03
  Sean McAllister: Is it going to happen on the field, or is it something that's going to showcase the entire city?
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_01: Well, actually, the halftime hasn't been planned yet, and it is an NFL and the halftime sponsor, which is Apple uh in 24, and we'll have some input into that, but it's really their decision what happens uh at halftime.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_01: Uh the halftime in Phoenix was spectacular, the halftime last year in LA is spectacular, so they've set the bar pretty high.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_01: We're gonna have to jump over it.
• 19:29
  Dayna Roselli: I feel like we'll do it.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_01: I I I feel like we are too.
• 19:33
  Dayna Roselli: All right.
• 19:33
  Dayna Roselli: Listen, thank you so much.
• 19:34
  Dayna Roselli: We can't wait.
• 19:35
  Dayna Roselli: I'm sure we'll be talking to you a lot throughout the year.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_01: Appreciate it.
• 19:38
  Dayna Roselli: So it'll be interesting to see who does the halftime show because Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world.
• 19:44
  Dayna Roselli: I can only imagine that it's gonna be fabulous.
• 19:47
  Dayna Roselli: Um and we will keep you posted on that.
• 19:50
  Dayna Roselli: Any little thing we hear.
• 19:51
  Dayna Roselli: I'm sure there'll be lots of rumors over the year.
• 19:54
  Sean McAllister: Oh, there will.
• 19:54
  Dayna Roselli: You know, of who's going to perform.
• 19:56
  Sean McAllister: And probably a lot of fan uh activity to try and, you know, get the name of their favorite artist out there too.
• 20:03
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 20:04
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it was uh Rihanna last year, and then um, well, I should say this year, and then the year before that, you know, was a collaboration of hip hop.
• 20:11
  Sean McAllister: That's great, the hip hop collab, yeah.
• 20:13
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so I wonder what if they'll go in kind of a different genre this time or what they'll do.
• 20:17
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it could be country.
• 20:18
  unknown: It could be.
• 20:20
  Dayna Roselli: Has there ever been a country halftime show?
• 20:22
  Dayna Roselli: Uh I'm trying to think because country's huge right now.
• 20:27
  Dayna Roselli: I'm not necessarily saying I want a country halftime show, but I'm saying it could happen or maybe some type of collab.
• 20:33
  Sean McAllister: I had to believe that there was.
• 20:35
  Sean McAllister: I can't think off the top of my head of one.
• 20:38
  Dayna Roselli: I can't either.
• 20:39
  Dayna Roselli: So I mean, I guess, you know, has Taylor Swift done a halftime show yet?
• 20:43
  Sean McAllister: No, I don't think so.
• 20:44
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, really?
• 20:44
  Dayna Roselli: Hmm, okay, we'll see.
• 20:46
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, she's like country pop.
• 20:48
  unknown: Yeah.
• 20:48
  Dayna Roselli: Crossover, right?
• 20:49
  Sean McAllister: She'd be good.
• 20:50
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, she'd be good.
• 20:50
  Dayna Roselli: Luke Bryan would be great.
• 20:52
  Dayna Roselli: So many people would be great that are headliners here in Las Vegas, but I don't know if the NFL will go that route.
• 20:56
  Dayna Roselli: I guess we'll have to wait and see.
• 20:57
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, we will.
• 20:58
  Sean McAllister: Well, Dana, I was out of town uh while you were at one of the biggest fundraising galas that we see all year here in Las Vegas.
• 21:10
  Sean McAllister: The Keep Memory Alive, Power of Love gala.
• 21:13
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 21:14
  Dayna Roselli: It raises money for the Cleveland Clinic, Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, a very important facility that we have here in Las Vegas.
• 21:22
  Dayna Roselli: We are lucky to have as well, and and people come in for help and treatment um from all over.
• 21:29
  Dayna Roselli: So they have to raise a lot of money.
• 21:30
  Dayna Roselli: They're looking for a cure, they're looking to help constantly caregivers, and those are the people who obviously help and assist and take care of people that get diagnosed with brain diseases.
• 21:45
  Dayna Roselli: Um they're constantly needing funds to expand.
• 21:49
  Dayna Roselli: And so they have to have a really big fundraiser to raise the money that they need to provide.
• 21:54
  Dayna Roselli: And so they bring out all their celebrity friends, and when I say they, Camille and Larry Ruvo, who are famous.
• 22:00
  Sean McAllister: Fantastic people.
• 22:01
  Dayna Roselli: Fantastic people.
• 22:02
  Dayna Roselli: Lou Ruvo Center is named after Larry's dad, who passed to Alzheimer's.
• 22:07
  Dayna Roselli: It was a great red carpet.
• 22:09
  Dayna Roselli: And this year, it was a collaboration.
• 22:11
  Dayna Roselli: They do something different every year.
• 22:13
  Dayna Roselli: This year was a collaboration of rock and roll.
• 22:16
  Sean McAllister: Okay.
• 22:16
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, here's the rundown of who, and I don't even know if I'm gonna hit everyone, but um it was Sammy Hagar, Rick Springfield, Michael McDonald, Kevin Cronin of Ario Speedwagon, Chad Kroger of Nickelback.
• 22:32
  Dayna Roselli: Wow, John Mayer, Sam Moore.
• 22:37
  Dayna Roselli: They all did this huge collaboration on stage.
• 22:40
  Sean McAllister: That's cool.
• 22:41
  Dayna Roselli: It was a great, yeah, everyone's just raving about how it came out.
• 22:45
  Dayna Roselli: Um, Paula Abdul was there.
• 22:46
  Dayna Roselli: Yep.
• 22:47
  Dayna Roselli: Nikki Glazer, the comedian, did stand up.
• 22:50
  Sean McAllister: Okay.
• 22:51
  Dayna Roselli: So it just, and I might even be leaving some other people out.
• 22:54
  Dayna Roselli: But here's the deal.
• 22:55
  Dayna Roselli: I was on the carpet, I got to talk to uh most all of them.
• 22:58
  Dayna Roselli: John Mayer did not walk the red carpet.
• 22:59
  Dayna Roselli: It was actually a pink carpet, I should say.
• 23:02
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but what a fabulous collaboration.
• 23:05
  Dayna Roselli: And they were so excited to come together.
• 23:08
  Dayna Roselli: Chad Kroger from Nickelback was telling me, I mean, when Sammy calls and says, hey, we need to perform for a good cause, and we get to all be on stage together, which we really, you know, don't do often.
• 23:20
  Sean McAllister: It never happens.
• 23:20
  Dayna Roselli: Or have never done.
• 23:22
  Dayna Roselli: I'm in, you know.
• 23:23
  Dayna Roselli: And Rick Springfield was there.
• 23:25
  Dayna Roselli: He's got a residency coming up, or a few shows anyway, at the Strat uh toward the end of March.
• 23:31
  Dayna Roselli: Great to see him.
• 23:32
  Dayna Roselli: I'd never met Kevin Cronin from Ario Speedwagon.
• 23:35
  Dayna Roselli: Fabulous guy.
• 23:36
  Dayna Roselli: Uh his mom passed of Alzheimer's, so he wanted to be there.
• 23:40
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, Alice Cooper.
• 23:41
  Dayna Roselli: Alice Cooper, yes.
• 23:42
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, Alice Cooper 75.
• 23:44
  Dayna Roselli: I said to him, How do you stay energized?
• 23:46
  Dayna Roselli: He's on like a big, huge tour now and everything.
• 23:48
  Dayna Roselli: I said, Hi, you're still going.
• 23:51
  Dayna Roselli: He said, You know, I just I love life.
• 23:53
  Dayna Roselli: Um, you know, I never really got into the major partying phase, and I never smoked.
• 24:01
  Dayna Roselli: And he said, and it's just helped me to stay energized, focused, and healthy through all these years, which I thought was interesting.
• 24:08
  Dayna Roselli: Good for him.
• 24:09
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 24:09
  Dayna Roselli: And then Kevin Cronin of Ario Speedwagon was telling me that, you know, his mom had Alzheimer's, and there were times where they would play music for her.
• 24:17
  Dayna Roselli: I think he said it was My Fair Lady, the soundtrack of one of her favorite shows.
• 24:21
  Dayna Roselli: And he said it just would turn on this light.
• 24:24
  Dayna Roselli: And he said it they're now looking at, you know, how music plays a part in keeping the brain functioning and all that.
• 24:32
  Dayna Roselli: So all sorts, everyone really had like a personal story to tell.
• 24:35
  Dayna Roselli: And that just shows that Alzheimer's affects so many people.
• 24:39
  Dayna Roselli: Paula Abdul was there, her dad passed of Alzheimer's, and she said, you know, the support that she received from the brain center was life-changing, and she'll do anything she can.
• 24:48
  Dayna Roselli: Maria Schriver was there, and there's a huge women's movement now.
• 24:52
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and she was saying a lot of the women out there become caregivers, whether it's their mom, their dad, uh, husband, whatever, um, in their family, and that it's important to keep our brains active, just as we do when we talk about keeping our bodies active and Pilates and all that stuff.
• 25:11
  Dayna Roselli: So, anyway, it was a great carpet, a lot of energy.
• 25:14
  Dayna Roselli: Everyone's so happy to be there.
• 25:15
  Dayna Roselli: Sammy Hagar said, You know what?
• 25:16
  Dayna Roselli: I love this town and I want to do this.
• 25:19
  Dayna Roselli: I called up all my friends and we're ready to put on a rock and show.
• 25:22
  Dayna Roselli: He told me he had chills when they did their rehearsal the day before.
• 25:26
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, that's exciting.
• 25:27
  Dayna Roselli: He said, I've never people were thinking we need to take you to the hospital.
• 25:30
  Dayna Roselli: They thought I had a rash.
• 25:31
  Dayna Roselli: He said, because the hair was I had bumps all over my arms.
• 25:36
  Dayna Roselli: So he was funny.
• 25:37
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so it was a great, it was a great time and a great collaboration.
• 25:41
  Dayna Roselli: You can see some of our social media videos on our Vegas Revealed TikTok and also our Vegas Revealed Instagram.
• 25:47
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, that looked like it was a great night.
• 25:49
  Sean McAllister: Glad you got to be over there for that.
• 25:50
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it was great.
• 25:52
  Sean McAllister: Uh, we have a big movie star who we've talked about living here uh in Las Vegas now.
• 25:57
  Sean McAllister: Mark Wahlberg is not only living here, he is working here very hard with multiple businesses, uh, but he's also bringing Hollywood to town and he's been filming a new movie called The Family Plan at locations all over Las Vegas.
• 26:15
  Sean McAllister: And it's kind of exciting that there have been so many Mark Wahlberg sightings while he's in production out at Strip Casinos.
• 26:24
  Dayna Roselli: Well, remember when he moved here, he had said he wanted Las Vegas to be more of what like a mini Hollywood right.
• 26:29
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, he wanted to bring production here.
• 26:31
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so now I love that he's shooting all around town.
• 26:34
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, some locations we know that he did shoot, the Strat, uh, the plaza hotel casino downtown as well.
• 26:42
  Dayna Roselli: And then I think he was over at Aria and Bellagio, Caesars Palace, uh Hoover Dam, the Luxor Esports Arena.
• 26:50
  Dayna Roselli: So he's been all over shooting.
• 26:52
  Sean McAllister: That'll be fun.
• 26:52
  Sean McAllister: It'll be exciting to see what the movie's all about when that comes out.
• 26:58
  Dayna Roselli: I was asking our friend John Caslamedes of the Review Journal, who was uh writing a column on this, and I think he said it's something to do with like he he used to be involved in some sort of I don't know if it's crime or money or whatever, and and then you know, realized he had a he has got a family, and then somehow he goes back to it.
• 27:19
  Dayna Roselli: Something sucks him back in.
• 27:20
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, I don't something like that, and that might not be absolutely correct the way that I said that.
• 27:25
  Dayna Roselli: So do not uh quote me on that, but something of that kind of thing.
• 27:30
  Dayna Roselli: That it sounds pretty entertaining.
• 27:32
  Dayna Roselli: It does.
• 27:32
  Sean McAllister: I would go see that for sure.
• 27:34
  Dayna Roselli: All right, well, let's do some tips.
• 27:41
  Dayna Roselli: All right, first tip: a new restaurant, and that is a new restaurant that opened over at Red Rock.
• 27:45
  Dayna Roselli: We know many of you love to visit Red Rock, it's out west, off the strip, a little bit of a drive, but folks that live over there in Summerlin always frequent Red Rock.
• 27:55
  Dayna Roselli: It's the station casinos.
• 27:57
  Dayna Roselli: We um always talk about it because they have great restaurants, uh, great lounges.
• 28:03
  Dayna Roselli: It's a great casino.
• 28:04
  Dayna Roselli: They even have a wonderful ballroom area too.
• 28:07
  Dayna Roselli: And the hot and the hotel rooms are nice in the spa.
• 28:09
  Dayna Roselli: So they have like everything going for them.
• 28:11
  Dayna Roselli: We love when they open new things.
• 28:12
  Dayna Roselli: And we had told you, um, I think like about a year ago that they were gonna start to open some new things.
• 28:20
  Dayna Roselli: Some of the restaurants have been opened already.
• 28:23
  Dayna Roselli: The latest one is called Naxos Taverna, and they had a grand opening party, which was fabulous, Sean.
• 28:30
  Dayna Roselli: I went over there.
• 28:31
  Dayna Roselli: You were busy, so I took, I took it on, I took on for two.
• 28:34
  Sean McAllister: Thank you.

  Sean McAllister: Thank you for repping for both of us.

  Dayna Roselli: Um, but they got an oyster bar too.
• 28:39
  Dayna Roselli: It was a great party.
• 28:40
  Dayna Roselli: I just want to say the staff is just great.
• 28:42
  Dayna Roselli: They are such nice people and so fun, and the way they interacted with the crowd, and they were bringing around all sorts of food.
• 28:49
  Dayna Roselli: The food was absolutely delicious, and I can tell they had like a hummus bar too.
• 28:53
  Dayna Roselli: Oh yeah, and like all sorts of stuff.
• 28:55
  Dayna Roselli: And obviously, we were just getting a sampling of the food, but I've seen people go there since it's been open too and doing some Insta stories, and the food does look really good, like the meals.
• 29:04
  Sean McAllister: Oh, I need to get over there.
• 29:05
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and they had the all the seafood out at the oyster bar.
• 29:09

• 29:15
  Dayna Roselli: It's a Mediterranean restaurant, and so a new addition over there at Red Rock.
• 29:20
  Dayna Roselli: If you want to go check it out, it is now open.
• 29:22
  Dayna Roselli: It's called Naxos Taverna.
• 29:24
  Dayna Roselli: We need to go there for a proper meal, which we will.
• 29:27
  Dayna Roselli: But welcome to Red Rock and welcome to Las Vegas.
• 29:30
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, that's exciting.
• 29:31
  Sean McAllister: I love what's going on over at Red Rock.
• 29:33
  Sean McAllister: They're kind of uh bringing some uh new things in over there, and it's making it just uh even more of a destination than it already was.
• 29:43
  Sean McAllister: Uh something else we have coming up, and a tip number two, uh NASCAR coming back to town.
• 29:49
  Sean McAllister: So we have two races per year now.
• 29:52
  Sean McAllister: We have a race in March and then a race later in the year during the fall.
• 29:58
  Sean McAllister: And this is the March race.
• 30:00
  Sean McAllister: I know it is upon us.
• 30:02
  Dayna Roselli: And the March race was the one that was there the whole time, right?
• 30:05
  Dayna Roselli: It was always in March, and then they added the fall one.
• 30:07
  Dayna Roselli: They added the fall.
• 30:08
  Dayna Roselli: So this is the race, the NASCAR race.
• 30:10
  Dayna Roselli: And it's um going to be on March 5th, which is a Sunday, but there's events all weekend, March 3rd to the 5th.
• 30:17
  Dayna Roselli: So it's coming right up.
• 30:18
  Dayna Roselli: And the Penzoil 400 race is the one that will be on Sunday.
• 30:22
  Dayna Roselli: That starts at 12 30 p.m.
• 30:23
  Dayna Roselli: If you want to get tickets, you can go to LVMS.com to up at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
• 30:29
  Dayna Roselli: Sean and I will be there because we realized when we went last time in the fall, hey, I'm into this.
• 30:36
  Dayna Roselli: It was cool, right?
• 30:37
  Sean McAllister: It was so much fun to be there at the race.
• 30:42
  Sean McAllister: Uh it's just it's such a great time.
• 30:48
  Sean McAllister: The president of the motor speedway, Chris Powell, uh, we spent some time with him and his wife over there at the race.
• 30:56
  Sean McAllister: They're fantastic.
• 30:57
  Sean McAllister: So it's gonna be exciting to be back there at the speedway.
• 31:02
  Dayna Roselli: Well, and Chris, when we talked to him on the podcast, was telling us that before we'd actually went to the recent race, he said, you know, there's nothing like seeing and being at NASCAR in person and watching a race live.
• 31:15
  Dayna Roselli: And he's right.
• 31:15
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, the thing is, is people do watch it on TV.
• 31:19
  Dayna Roselli: It's become a thing, you know, it's just like football on Sundays.
• 31:22
  Dayna Roselli: But and it's cool to see on TV, but to actually be in front of it and have the chance to be in front of it, it is so worth it, everyone.
• 31:28
  Dayna Roselli: I'm telling you, it's such a fun time.
• 31:30
  Dayna Roselli: They have the neon garage there, lots of different uh food items and attractions.
• 31:35
  Dayna Roselli: There's stuff to do all day.
• 31:37
  Dayna Roselli: And usually the weather's really, really nice.
• 31:40
  Dayna Roselli: So, I mean, I highly recommend it.
• 31:42
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I know you do too, Sean, because when we left that, we said, you know, we got to go to the next one, and we'll be there March 5th.
• 31:47
  Dayna Roselli: We're looking forward to it.
• 31:49
  Dayna Roselli: Um, if you go and you see us, say hello.
• 31:52
  Dayna Roselli: Again, it's LVMS.com.
• 31:55
  Sean McAllister: And by the way, Dana, I'm just looking up uh ticket prices right now for the Penzoil 400 uh that Sunday, and they start at$64.
• 32:04
  Sean McAllister: Great, which is uh an extremely affordable price for uh all day entertainment.
• 32:12
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, you can't beat really the seats.
• 32:16
