• 1:03
  Dayna Roselli: We were gonna do a lunch with some colleagues, JJ and Sean.
• 1:07
  Dayna Roselli: And we said, you know what, we might as well go check out something we haven't been to.
• 1:10
  Dayna Roselli: And so I was like, what about this 80s cafe?
• 1:13
  Dayna Roselli: And I think you had said it's over there near the um college, UNLV.
• 1:19
  Dayna Roselli: And so we looked it up.
• 1:20
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, it's called Back to the 80s Cafe and more.
• 1:23
  Dayna Roselli: We went, we had so much fun that we had to tell you about this.
• 1:27
  Dayna Roselli: Now you'll want to see the story.
• 1:29
  Dayna Roselli: It'll be on our YouTube.
• 1:30
  Dayna Roselli: Again, we are doing a lot of things in there that it's kind of a visual, but um, wasn't this a cool little place?
• 1:37
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it's in a plaza, you know, nothing, but you'll see it as you pull up.
• 1:41
  Dayna Roselli: You'll see the Ghostbuster car out front, and the back to the 80s sign is like back to the future.
• 1:46
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 1:46
  Sean McAllister: It's in that same graphic styling.
• 1:49
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 1:49
  Sean McAllister: And then once you step inside, it is literally floor to ceiling, 80s memorabilia everywhere.
• 1:55
  Sean McAllister: And it definitely, if you were alive during that period of time, it definitely takes you back to what life was like in the 80s, the toys, the sounds, the movies.
• 2:08
  Dayna Roselli: They had everything in there.
• 2:09
  Dayna Roselli: They have a great little DJ area because they have a new bar that just opened, I think, a year ago, but it's been there, the cafe, for I think about five years.
• 2:18
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but the bar side, yeah, and they have uh a lot of MTV, they have slushy cocktails, you know, the all the slushies.
• 2:24
  Dayna Roselli: You see a Beetlejuice, Rainbow Bright, E Life Size ET, a Back to the Future Corner, Miss Pac-Man, you can play in the cafe side.
• 2:32
  Dayna Roselli: The food was really good.
• 2:33
  Sean McAllister: And by the way, Dana, uh, you don't just skim over Miss Pac-Man.
• 2:37
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, I know.
• 2:37
  Dayna Roselli: I'm so good, right?
• 2:38
  Sean McAllister: You are so good.
• 2:39
  Sean McAllister: Okay, you guys, Dana is like a Miss Pac-Man champion.
• 2:45
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I am.
• 2:46
  Dayna Roselli: My ex-boyfriend bought me one of those Miss Pac-Man things you plug into the TV because he was like, all right, let's see how good you really are.
• 2:53
  Dayna Roselli: And he couldn't believe it.
• 2:54
  Dayna Roselli: I still have it.
• 2:55
  Dayna Roselli: It's good.
• 2:56
  Dayna Roselli: You can play right on the TV.
• 2:57
  Sean McAllister: I don't think a single ghost got you.
• 2:59
  Sean McAllister: They didn't stand a chance.
• 3:00
  Dayna Roselli: They didn't stand a chance.
• 3:01
  Dayna Roselli: Listen, people used to gather around me at the bowling alley and watch me play, and I would just get bored after board after board after board.
• 3:09
  Dayna Roselli: It was a big deal.
• 3:10
  Sean McAllister: I think we need to go back, and you need to get the high score on Miss Pac-Man back to the 80s category.
• 3:15
  Dayna Roselli: I know, I know.
• 3:16
  Dayna Roselli: I wanted to finish and we were doing the shoot, and I'm like, oh darn.
• 3:19
  Dayna Roselli: Because then I would have got onto the blue boards and all that kind of thing.
• 3:22
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, um, and you were fascinated by the garbage pail kids, which for me was a little after my time in the kids.
• 3:29
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, but you said you collected those and they have them all over the walls there.
• 3:32
  Sean McAllister: I had an entire binder of garbage pail kids because on the back of the garbage pail kids, it was like um pieces of a puzzle.
• 3:43
  Sean McAllister: Like you could arrange the cards together to make one big giant card.
• 3:49
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 3:49
  Sean McAllister: And so I would collect all of them to try and make that.
• 3:53
  Sean McAllister: And I think you got something.
• 3:55
  Sean McAllister: I think if you mailed that in, you might have gotten, I don't know, probably like a stick of gum or something.
• 4:00
  Dayna Roselli: Mailed it in, that's so funny.
• 4:01
  Sean McAllister: It was, remember all the malin stuff that you had to do?
• 4:04
  Sean McAllister: But yeah, garbage pail kids were a big part of my uh growing up, and they do, they have this one section in there that just has garbage pail kids all over the place.
• 4:15
  Sean McAllister: Um the arcade games, all of it.
• 4:18
  Sean McAllister: It was just so fun.
• 4:19
  Sean McAllister: By the way, the food was really good.
• 4:22
  Sean McAllister: It was good.
• 4:23
  Dayna Roselli: Really good.
• 4:23
  Dayna Roselli: I was filling.
• 4:24
  Dayna Roselli: That wrap I got was filling and it was delicious.
• 4:27
  Sean McAllister: I got a BLT.
• 4:28
  Sean McAllister: I'm a sucker for a good BLT.
• 4:31
  Sean McAllister: And the bacon that makes all the difference in the world.
• 4:35
  Sean McAllister: It was like good, thick, crispy bacon.
• 4:39
  Sean McAllister: And that's what you need on a BLT.
• 4:41
  Sean McAllister: None of the soggy stuff.
• 4:43
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, none of the soggy stuff.
• 4:44
  Sean McAllister: And they had good crisp bacon.
• 4:45
  Sean McAllister: Uh, they have um 80s names for their menu items.
• 4:50
  Sean McAllister: There's a Doc Brown burger, Doc Brown from Back to the Future.
• 4:54
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it was great.
• 4:55
  Dayna Roselli: Everything's themed.
• 4:57
  Dayna Roselli: I think people will really enjoy this.
• 4:58
  Dayna Roselli: There were a lot of people in there from California that we were talking to.
• 5:01
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, lots of visitors on the cafe side.
• 5:02
  Dayna Roselli: And I wonder, it's also, you know, it's near the college, which is also near the airport.
• 5:06
  Dayna Roselli: I felt like a lot of people might like it, like their final stop before the airport or when they land.
• 5:11
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know.
• 5:11
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it could be.
• 5:12
  Dayna Roselli: But um, or you know, driving out of town or whatever.
• 5:15
  Dayna Roselli: But it was, yeah, it's a great spot.
• 5:17
  Dayna Roselli: Um, go to our YouTube and watch the story.
• 5:18
  Dayna Roselli: I think you'll get a kick out of it.
• 5:20
  Dayna Roselli: But um, it is right on Maryland Parkway.
• 5:24
  Dayna Roselli: And I'd say it was near like Carmen, like ish.
• 5:29
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it's right around there.
• 5:30
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, 4755 South Maryland Parkway is the address.
• 5:33
  Dayna Roselli: So um you can check them out.
• 5:35
  Dayna Roselli: Go to back to the80scafe.com for more info.
• 5:38
  Sean McAllister: So if you're feeling nostalgic, that's a great place to go.
• 5:42
  Sean McAllister: Uh, but if you're feeling adventurous, Area 15 is the place that you want to go because they've just opened up a new thrill ride called the Eyedropper.
• 5:52
  Sean McAllister: This is one of those 200-foot-tall classic drop towers that you might see at uh other amusement uh parks.
• 6:02
  Sean McAllister: But this is different because they've kind of turned the whole thing into a cinematic, story-driven experience that's inspired by uh trippy art and altered states of perception.
• 6:16
  Sean McAllister: Oh boy.
• 6:18
  Dayna Roselli: Well, yeah, it's a high, uh I guess it delivers multiple high-intensity sensations.
• 6:23
  Dayna Roselli: Uh JJ and Sean did this.
• 6:25
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know if it's on our YouTube yet, um, because they're the thrill seekers, and you gotta get the reaction and see it.
• 6:32
  Dayna Roselli: It's a lot of fun.
• 6:33
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but you know, it's here now, it's at Area 15.
• 6:36
  Dayna Roselli: And if you're into that kind of thing, they just keep adding more stuff there.
• 6:40
  Dayna Roselli: I did the other one, which is called and I'm blanking.
• 6:43
  Dayna Roselli: I think I talked about it last week.
• 6:44
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, where you just kind of sit and it goes up and it turns around in a circle and the view is great.
• 6:48
  Dayna Roselli: And even that, I was like, woo, you know, but the thing that's weird is like I love roller coasters, but I don't like anything that I just drop or go up.
• 6:57
  Dayna Roselli: You know what I mean?
• 6:57
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I get that.
• 6:58
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 6:59
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, but a lot of people love this stuff.
• 7:01
  Dayna Roselli: The eyedropper is officially open at Area 15.
• 7:03
  Dayna Roselli: Go check it out.
• 7:04
  Dayna Roselli: Um, if that's your thing, it sounds like a lot of fun.
• 7:07
  Sean McAllister: And by the way, just a little tidbit about Area 15 and the popularity of that entire complex that just keeps growing and growing.
• 7:16
  Sean McAllister: Um it's been well publicized that Las Vegas as a destination has seen a dip in uh tourism.
• 7:24
  Sean McAllister: However, Area 15 is kind of bucking that trend.
• 7:28
  Sean McAllister: Year over year, they have seen double digit percentage increases in the number of visitors who've come over there.
• 7:39
  Dayna Roselli: That's awesome.
• 7:40
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and they have a unique because I went on their website, I was looking like how does it like you can buy passes that get you into different areas of Area 15, some of the you know, included, and then you can level up.
• 7:51
  Dayna Roselli: So you get to do a lot of different things depending on you know what pass you buy.
• 7:56
  Dayna Roselli: And so there's probably you know a lot to do and make a full day or night of it.
• 8:00
  Sean McAllister: Well, and there are there's lounges, there's food venues, there's Omega Mart.
• 8:04
  Sean McAllister: Omega Mart, there's uh cinema movie experiences.
• 8:09
  Sean McAllister: I mean, it's a whole it's a whole thing.
• 8:12
  Sean McAllister: If you haven't taken the time to look into Area 15, definitely do it because there's Universal Horror Unleashed, which is a whole other complex within the complex.
• 8:23
  Dayna Roselli: I wonder, does anyone else across the country have something like this?
• 8:26
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, I know there's the you know Hollywood stuff in the universe, but like I wonder if we are the only because I don't ever hear anybody talk about places like this.
• 8:34
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it's large, I mean it's huge.
• 8:36
  Sean McAllister: It's oh it's massive.
• 8:38
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 8:38
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know, but area 15, very unique.
• 8:41
  Sean McAllister: It it it really is.
• 8:42
  Sean McAllister: Bringing in the people.
• 8:43
  Sean McAllister: Such a great addition.
• 8:45
  Dayna Roselli: Um, we have people write us all the time that do want to know things that are happening for, you know, a discount or a lower price, and just wanted to mention that we've done a story on Cafe on the strip before.
• 8:54
  Dayna Roselli: It's a double-decker bus, it goes up and down the strip.
• 8:56
  Dayna Roselli: You learn fun facts about Las Vegas and history, you have tea and uh you get some some desserts and sandwiches, but they are doing a just tea ticket for people who want to downsize a little, just want to do the ride and just have tea or coffee uh or juice or something like that.
• 9:14
  Dayna Roselli: And it's$59.99.
• 9:16
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it includes the beverage service, you just won't get the little desserts and the sandwiches and stuff like that, but it's still a nice 90-minute attraction that you can get on.
• 9:27
  Dayna Roselli: You could, you know, it could bring if you're a mom, you want to bring the kids, whatever you want to do.
• 9:31
  Dayna Roselli: We want to have if you're women wanting to have a little girls' day, whatever you want to do.
• 9:35
  Dayna Roselli: Um uh it could be something that you want to uh take part in and and maybe you didn't want to pay the full price.
• 9:42
  Dayna Roselli: So$59.99, the just tea ticket is happening at Cafe on the Strip.
• 9:46
  Dayna Roselli: It takes off from Sahara and goes down the strip and back.
• 9:50
  Sean McAllister: And uh this is a great way, also, if you want to catch some of the highlights of the Las Vegas strip but don't want to do all the walking.
• 9:59
  Sean McAllister: Yes.
• 9:59
  Sean McAllister: You're in a a double decker, air-conditioned luxury motor coach that's all decked out for tea time.
• 10:05
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 10:06
  Sean McAllister: And you get to uh see all the sites, plus get uh some tour guide tidbits while you're while you're on this little excursion.
• 10:15
  Sean McAllister: So that could be a good way to see Vegas and quench your thirst a little bit with some teas.
• 10:20
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 10:21
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it's a nice little experience, something different.
• 10:24
  Dayna Roselli: And um Yolanda, who kind of runs it over there, she was saying and created it um because she said her and her daughter love love tea and cafes and stuff.
• 10:32
  Dayna Roselli: Um, she said she was looking to you know create something that would be a daytime experience for people.
• 10:36
  Dayna Roselli: There's a lot of stuff happening at night, but not always a day.
• 10:38
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 10:39
  Dayna Roselli: Um, you know what is happening at night, mind to mind over at the Fountain Blue.
• 10:42
  Dayna Roselli: They are um mentalists, and we're talking about James and Marina.
• 10:46
  Dayna Roselli: You might see them on America's Got Talent.
• 10:49
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know where it stands right now, but as of when we're recording this, they were still in the running and moved forward.
• 10:55
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and they've been on so many television shows all over the world.
• 10:59
  Dayna Roselli: They are incredible, and they're used to doing big corporates in Dubai, but they now have uh exclusive residency at Azul at Fountain Blue, and we went over to see the show.
• 11:08
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, James and Marina, they go by Mind to Mind.
• 11:12
  Sean McAllister: That is the name of their act.
• 11:13
  Sean McAllister: They are world champion mentalists, and uh I still am dumbfounded at what we experience over there inside Azul, which is a very intimate lounge space.
• 11:27
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and for the performers of this caliber to be up close and to be really including every single member of the audience in their act, I mean, it is just mind-blowing.
• 11:41
  Sean McAllister: I don't think there's a single person who was in the room with us who walked out not having their mind blown.
• 11:48
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, right.
• 11:49
  Dayna Roselli: Well, and I think that uh it's one of those things where you know naturally you try and figure out how they do that, but then I think you just kind of give up at their show.
• 11:55
  Dayna Roselli: You're just like, all right, I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy this because there's no, there's no way that this is possible.
• 12:01
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I think I I the people will enjoy it.
• 12:03
  Dayna Roselli: And you can also chat with James and Marina after the show.
• 12:05
  Dayna Roselli: So it is a very intimate experience, and I love that, you know.
• 12:09
  Dayna Roselli: Um, there's a bar in the back, it's a beautiful space.
• 12:13
  Dayna Roselli: And they're here through September, so you've got time to go see them.
• 12:16
  Dayna Roselli: But we did stop over and have a little chat with them, interviewed them for the television show.
• 12:20
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so here's that interview.
• 12:21
  Dayna Roselli: Well, first of all, welcome to Las Vegas um for a long run here at the Fountain Blue.
• 12:26
  Dayna Roselli: How's it going so far?
• 12:27
  Dayna Roselli: Are you enjoying it?
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_04: We're living the dream, to be honest.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_04: You know, to have the residency in this hotel.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_04: It's the most beautiful hotel here, you know, in Las Vegas.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_04: It's so beautiful, it's new and it's just so modern.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_04: And we're staying here too.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_04: Like we get to stay in the suite.
• 12:42
  Dayna Roselli: It's great.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_04: What?
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_04: Yes, yeah, we're very lucky.
• 12:46
  unknown: Yeah.
• 12:46
  Dayna Roselli: Living the life.
• 12:47
  Dayna Roselli: Do you have a sphere view?
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_04: Yes.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_04: The whole strip and the sphere.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_04: It's insane.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_04: It's insane.
• 12:53
  Dayna Roselli: Blows your mind.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_01: 100%.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_01: It's it's been incredible.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_01: Um, we had we had some special guests come in.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_01: We had Tom Brady come in, which was amazing.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_01: I I couldn't believe it.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, oh we got him on stage and the goat.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_01: The goat, a hundred percent.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, amazing.
• 13:10
  Dayna Roselli: Now, did you blow his mind?
• 13:11
  Dayna Roselli: Did you do anything with him?
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, we did.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_01: We we had him uh and the owner hear each other's thoughts.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_04: Really?
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_04: Him and Jeffrey are like really close friends.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_04: That's why Jeffrey invited him.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_04: Um, and we're like, can we try something with you guys?
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_04: We didn't want to push them or anything, but they were up for it, and they read each other's mind.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_04: Well, we don't want to say too much because you guys are gonna watch the show tonight, so we don't want to spoil it for you.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_04: But it was really cool.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_04: Oh my gosh.
• 13:36
  Dayna Roselli: How did you guys get started and how'd you kind of hook up?
• 13:38
  Dayna Roselli: Like it get together as a team.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so we we initially met back in 2017 on Tinder.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, which instant connection.
• 13:47
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_01: Um, you read each other's minds.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, kind of.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_01: Marina said hello first, so I was like, Really?
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_01: So then we met up, um, we went on a date, um, and then kind of a month in after we'd started dating, I was like, I I had this idea to do this type of act years and years ago.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_01: It's a very, very niche form of mentalism called second sight.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_01: Um the effect is Marina has the ability to see through my eyes.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_01: But it takes so much work, like we're talking six, seven hours per day, every day for years, that it really needs to be somebody that you're close to and have a super strong connection with from the outset because it will highlight anything good or anything bad about the relationship, because the amount of work that you have to put in together, and fortunately for us, it's only strengthened the relationship.
• 14:36
  Dayna Roselli: Is it fun?
• 14:36
  Dayna Roselli: It's gotta be so fun for you to see the audience reaction.
• 14:39
  Dayna Roselli: I can only imagine that's kind of what feeds you.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_04: Absolutely, yeah.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_04: Audience means everything.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_04: The the energy that we're getting from the audience feeds, you know, our energy.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_04: So um even sometimes when we have like a small group of people, you know, on a weekday, Wednesday, maybe not too busy, it's not about the like the size of the audience, but what they're giving us, even just like they f their uh facial expressions sometimes are enough for us to just to to give them everything.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 15:10
  Dayna Roselli: Um talk to me a little bit about um the Vegas audience compared to what you're used to.
• 15:16
  Dayna Roselli: Is there a difference?
• 15:17
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know, like because sometimes when people play Vegas for the first I know you've done corporates and stuff like that and shows, but is it a different kind of mix or people a little more tipsy or anything like that?
• 15:27
  Dayna Roselli: People are definitely more tipsy.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we've we've had some um some great show.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I think the Vegas audience has been incredible so far.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's everyone's up for a good time, they're they're here for one reason, and that's to that's to have fun.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_01: And and that's what we we give them, and yeah, it's been great.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, we're used to corporate um audiences.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_01: That's what we do in Dubai, is only corporate.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_01: So it's so different and and very refreshing.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_01: And yes, it's been nice.
• 15:55
  Dayna Roselli: Tell me some of the shows that you've been on, the TV shows, because I know I was reading the list, there's a lot.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, we started the very first one of our career was Britain's Got Talent.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_04: That was 2019, I think, or 2018, and then we did a few Masters of Illusion, they do it every year.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_04: Uh, then we did Ukraine's Got Talent.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_04: I'm from Ukraine, so it was very important to me to do that one.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_04: That was 2021.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_04: We got a golden buzzer there, we were in the finals, it was a great run.
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_04: And then we did AGT in 2022, and we're actually doing AGT now again.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_04: Do you guys like doing those shows?
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_04: Um stressful?
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they're so stressful, but but every single thing, so like entering PSM World Championships of Magic, doing any of these God talent shows, they're always the times when we grow the most.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_01: So it's it's we hate the stress, and every time we do it again, we're like, why are we doing this again?
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_01: But then afterwards we're like, we realize how much we've grown, and we're like, that's why.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_01: So no matter what happens in any of these things, we develop as an act, as a couple, it's really bonding for us to go through this together, and yeah, we seem to do a new big challenge every year.
• 17:00
  Dayna Roselli: Well, how do you guys describe yourself?
• 17:02
  Dayna Roselli: If somebody says, Well, what's your show like, or what do you guys do?
• 17:06
  Dayna Roselli: How do you describe yourself as a duo?
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so the first thing about this show, I would say it's a very intimate mind reading experience.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_04: So when people come, they know what they're gonna get.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_04: You know, it's not gonna be big illusions, fire, you know, huge stage in production.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_04: It's really immersive, really intimate, and almost everyone from the audience, if they want to, can participate.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_04: So everyone can be a part of the show.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_04: So that's the difference, and that's what I love about this show, you know.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_04: Um, that everyone gets to be a part of it.
• 17:37
  unknown: Yeah.
• 17:37
  Dayna Roselli: And do you uh I assume like interact with one-on-one with people or call people up?
• 17:42
  Dayna Roselli: Is that what we're gonna see tonight?
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_01: There's there's a mix.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_01: Sometimes it'll be one-on-one, sometimes we'll use a couple, sometimes the entire audience gets involved.
• 17:49
  unknown: I see.
• 17:50
  unknown: Yeah, good.
• 17:51

  SPEAKER_01: And and we really feel like like like a lot of locals are coming to the show.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_01: We really feel like they've embraced the show, which I think's been amazing.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_01: That means a lot.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_01: A lot of fun.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 18:07
  Sean McAllister: Well, and Dana, we heard in there that James and Marina met on Tinder.
• 18:11
  Sean McAllister: They're not only a performance duo, but a duo in real life.
• 18:15
  Dayna Roselli: I love it.
• 18:15
  Sean McAllister: And look, you never know what a Tinder match can lead to.
• 18:19
  Sean McAllister: A show in Vegas.
• 18:20
  Dayna Roselli: A show in Vegas.
• 18:21
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 18:22
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, it was funny to hear them talk about they get to stay at the Fountain Blue, and I'm like, oh, you're in the big suite.
• 18:27
  Dayna Roselli: And uh you could tell Marina really was enjoying it.
• 18:30
  Dayna Roselli: So yeah, great to have them there.
• 18:32
  Dayna Roselli: Like I said, nice intimate show.
• 18:33
  Dayna Roselli: Sometimes you want to see something bigger, sometimes you want, and and it was nice to hear that the locals are embracing the show too.
• 18:39
  Dayna Roselli: That's that's really great.
• 18:40
  Dayna Roselli: And uh like Marina was saying, you can come back and it won't it will be like a different show because the audience is different.
• 18:46
  Sean McAllister: Exactly.
• 18:46
  Dayna Roselli: The items that they're pulling out and she needs to guess are different.
• 18:50
  Sean McAllister: So you have to go and experience it.

  Sean McAllister: These are only in Vegas shows, uh, and it'll be a rare chance to experience Tim in all of his glory.

  Dayna Roselli: So it must be really good.

  Sean McAllister: Well, and he is no stranger to being a headliner here in Vegas.
• 19:59

  Sean McAllister: They were in my uh, you know how you used to back in the day have like the book of CDs?
• 21:35
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 21:35
  Sean McAllister: Blues Traveler was on page two, right at the top in the top corner for me.
• 21:40
  Sean McAllister: Uh, they're coming to Vegas uh over at the Durango Casino Resort.
• 21:44
  Sean McAllister: This is part of their poolside concert series at the Bel Air Backyard.
• 21:49
  Sean McAllister: Uh great venue for outdoor shows.
• 21:52
  Sean McAllister: Uh so Blues Traveler coming here Sunday, October eleventh, ready to rock.
• 21:58
  Sean McAllister: The hook will bring you back.
• 22:00
  Dayna Roselli: Well, I love it.
• 22:00
  Dayna Roselli: That's a that is great music.
• 22:02
  Dayna Roselli: We used to in college listen to it all the time.
• 22:04
  Dayna Roselli: Like you said, road we road trip to the I don't even know.
• 22:06
  Dayna Roselli: It was like Rhode Island for the uh Nash National Association of College Broadcasters Conference.
• 22:12
  Dayna Roselli: Oh.
• 22:13
  Dayna Roselli: And I remember we kept playing the blues traveler CD over and over and over again.
• 22:16
  Sean McAllister: Second in, second in, second in, second tin tin rainbows.
• 22:20
  Dayna Roselli: It was good.
• 22:20
  Dayna Roselli: I think we have some funny videos too.
• 22:22
  Dayna Roselli: Because it was the whole, you know, in the news and video crew.
• 22:25
  Dayna Roselli: Um with our old, big old cameras.
• 22:28
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, October 11th, um, get tickets because the Bel Air Backyard is a really nice size, but I have a feeling this one's gonna be popular and could fill up because it's not huge.
• 22:37
  Dayna Roselli: It's supposed to have that intimate feel.
• 22:38
  Dayna Roselli: Um, for the full list of shows under the stars by the pool, you can check out Bel AirBackyardLV.com.
• 22:45
  Sean McAllister: Let's get to some celebrity news with a Vegas twist.
• 22:51
  Sean McAllister: So, Dana, I think some of the biggest celebrities in Las Vegas are uh kind of a collective celebrity.
• 22:59
  Sean McAllister: And I'm talking about the showgirl who for decades kind of reigned supreme over Las Vegas entertainment, and the showgirl is now being celebrated uh in a new exhibit.
• 23:10
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 23:11
  Dayna Roselli: And we went over a while ago for National Showgirl Day, May 24th.
• 23:15
  Dayna Roselli: But as we always talk about, we do so many shoots and stuff for TV and audio and social media.
• 23:20
  Dayna Roselli: Um, sometimes we forget.
• 23:21
  Dayna Roselli: I'm like, I don't think we ran this story, and people would really find it interesting because if they come to Las Vegas or they live here, they may not realize that the Nevada State Museum has a costume exhibit of all these incredible vintage showgirl costumes.
• 23:39
  Sean McAllister: And if you know, if you are uh familiar with the design world, especially the entertainment design, uh a lot of these showgirl costumes were designed by Bob Mackey, who did a lot of Cher's costumes over the years, uh the Carol Burnett show back in the day, like iconic stuff.
• 23:59
  Sean McAllister: He designed a lot of these showgirl costumes along with Pete Menefee, who's another uh super famous uh costume designer.
• 24:09
  Sean McAllister: So to have their pieces in this exhibit is such a cool thing, and to be able to see those up close is really special.
• 24:17
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and Anita Mann, who um created the show Fantasy, um, she has been around for a long time doing wonderful things.
• 24:26
  Dayna Roselli: Fantasy's been around a long time in Las Vegas.
• 24:28
  Dayna Roselli: She also is the one who got, you know, National Show Girl Day kind of founded and done.
• 24:35
  Dayna Roselli: So it's officially year after year a thing now.
• 24:38
  Dayna Roselli: Um she made it official, got it to be official.
• 24:41
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but she was there because Fantasy donated um some costumes, some of their older costumes, uh, one of them to the to the exhibit, which is really cool.
• 24:50
  Dayna Roselli: So we went over, we talked to Anita, and we also talked to Hollis from the Nevada State Museum all about this exhibit and the showgirls' impact in Las Vegas.
• 25:04
  SPEAKER_02: There's the baseball hall of fame, the football, ping pong, bowling, you know.
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_02: I said, Las Vegas needs showgirls to be recognized.
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_02: I had this idea when I saw this picture of the Moulin Rouge in 1955, May 24th.
• 25:19
  SPEAKER_02: I said, there's something so historic about that date for Showgirls and for Las Vegas and for history.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_00: We are so proud as a museum to be able to have collections of this entertainment history, some sketches that have been made for shows, the costumes themselves, and we really take seriously our duty to preserve and conserve this history for everybody.
• 25:42
  Dayna Roselli: When people come into this room, do you see the, ooh, like the reaction?
• 25:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, I do.
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_00: And what I also see from time to time are people saying, I wasn't I saw that show, I saw that show.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_00: So we get people that are, you know, coming and talking to their younger children or grandchildren about their own experience growing up here because we have multi-generations that come here and enjoy the experience of Las Vegas and its evolution as an entertainment camp capital of the world.
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_00: And there's been so much talk about the show, girl, in films and music.
• 26:10
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, do you love that it's been kind of brought back to life?
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh, thank you, Taylor Swift.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_02: Pamela Anderson.
• 26:16
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, you're absolutely right, and we are not hiding from it.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_02: It is a part of Las Vegas.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_02: It is a part of the excitement, the legacy, the generations of women who have made it possible.
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_02: And for me to honor them in this way, it's it's really emotional.
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_00: One of the things that I didn't know about Shogirls before coming here is the weight of many of these costumes, particularly the headdresses, if they had them.
• 26:46
  SPEAKER_00: They were very elaborate, and they did multiple change outs of costumes during shows, and and the people are tight.
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_00: So it was it was a dance and performance on the same, but it was also a dance and performance behind there to get changed out and to put on these very heavy, heavy things.
• 27:01
  Sean McAllister: I always loved talking to Anita, and that collection over at the Nevada State Museum is amazing.
• 27:06
  Sean McAllister: By the way, Anita filled us in that she's the first female show producer on the Las Vegas strip.
• 27:14
  Dayna Roselli: I love that.
• 27:14
  Sean McAllister: She was back in the day when she started.
• 27:16
  Dayna Roselli: She's still so good and so involved.
• 27:19
  Sean McAllister: And changing her show fantasy all the time.
• 27:23
  Sean McAllister: She was working on new numbers actually.
• 27:26
  Sean McAllister: After we talked to her, she was like, Oh, I have new numbers that I'm working on.
• 27:29
  Sean McAllister: I have to get with the girls and see how we're gonna work them into the show.
• 27:32
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 27:33
  Dayna Roselli: They they have a great crew over there because they have so many shows.
• 27:36
  Dayna Roselli: They have a lot of girls in the rotation.
• 27:38
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 27:38
  Dayna Roselli: So it's a big cast, too.
• 27:40
  Dayna Roselli: Um, that was fun to talk to her.
• 27:41
  Dayna Roselli: And hey, Anita is a big fan of Vegas Revealed, by the way.
• 27:44
  Sean McAllister: She is, and we appreciate that, Anita.
• 27:46
  Sean McAllister: We do.
• 27:47
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, quickly, we mentioned She Weekend is coming up, um, and it's officially almost here.
• 27:52
  Dayna Roselli: It's Thursday, July 16th to the 19th.
• 27:55
  Dayna Roselli: This is Flavor Flaves' big idea.
• 27:58
  Dayna Roselli: He organized, got everyone to kind of get on board for this.
• 28:02
  Dayna Roselli: It's um celebrating 100 elite female athletes and Olympians.
• 28:06
  Dayna Roselli: It's taking place in Las Vegas, but there are a couple free things happening that the public can take part in.
• 28:12
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, among them, uh, there's a free parade that starts near the Bellagio at 8 p.m.
• 28:17
  Sean McAllister: on July 16th.
• 28:19
  Sean McAllister: So if you're in town, uh mark it on your calendar.
• 28:22
  Sean McAllister: 8 p.m.
• 28:23
  Sean McAllister: free parade, uh, followed by a concert.
• 28:25
  Sean McAllister: That parade will go to uh Toshiba Plaza in front of T-Mobile Arena, where there's going to be a free concert as well.
• 28:33
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, we don't know who yet.
• 28:34
  Dayna Roselli: Well, we might, by the time this podcast runs, we're shooting this a little early, uh, right before we leave for 4th of July weekend.
• 28:40
  Dayna Roselli: So um, but anyway, there's gonna be a free concert.
• 28:44
  Dayna Roselli: You might know who it is by now.
• 28:45
  Dayna Roselli: But the women, uh, this is are being treated to some pretty incredible things, right?
• 28:51
  Dayna Roselli: Of fun.
• 28:52
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, this is, and by the way, I guess thanks to MGM, because MGM really they came on board really quick.
• 28:58
  Sean McAllister: Once Flav kind of put the idea out there, MGM Resorts really, really got behind it.
• 29:05
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, they really and listen to what these ladies they're gonna um have a Backstreet Boys, like I guess a little concert.
• 29:11
  Dayna Roselli: Man, an Ed Sheeran concert and meet and greet.
• 29:15
  Dayna Roselli: Jeez.
• 29:16
  Dayna Roselli: So that's gonna be fun for both of them.
• 29:18
  Dayna Roselli: It's some big stars, and oh, they're gonna love it.
• 29:20
  Dayna Roselli: I can't wait to see the videos from that.
• 29:22
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and then there's a big pool party at Tailgate Day Club, and so much more happening, and I think it's awesome.
• 29:28
  Dayna Roselli: So bringing all the women's athletes in and Olympians and and celebrating them between July 16th and 19th.
• 29:35
  Dayna Roselli: But if you want to go to that free parade, it's 8 p.m.
• 29:38
  Dayna Roselli: July 16th.
• 29:39
  Sean McAllister: And the reason that this all got started, it was during the Olympics, the Summer Olympics, and a lot of the men's uh Olympic teams were being invited to come and celebrate uh the White House here, there.
• 29:56
  Sean McAllister: And Flav was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
