Dayna Roselli: It has come big time.
2:06
Dayna Roselli: All right, so we go to this event and it's at the Little White Wedding Chapel, and New Kids on the Block are in the room, and so like we didn't expect to see every other Vegas headliner in the room as well.

Dayna Roselli: I mean, it was crazy.
2:40
Dayna Roselli: So we're like, we don't understand like what's going on.
2:42
Sean McAllister: Yeah, it was like walking into a music video because the new kids were standing up front in this chapel with the pews full of all these other Vegas entertainers.
2:52
Sean McAllister: We're like, what's going on here?
2:53
Sean McAllister: Yeah.
2:54
Sean McAllister: Um, and then Elvis took the mic and started his started this whole event, which uh the new kids on the block, it was declared New Kids on the Block Day in Clark County, which is where Las Vegas is.
3:12
Sean McAllister: Uh so they got keys to the to the Las Vegas strip and also announced a residency extension.
3:21
Dayna Roselli: Right.

Dayna Roselli: And FYI, those tickets go on sale November 21st, depending on when you're listening to this.
3:35
Dayna Roselli: But um, for so it's like another big run, so a big extension for them.
3:40
Dayna Roselli: And they basically, so Elvis was saying that the new kids were marrying Las Vegas in this ceremony, and that's why all the other Vegas headliners were there and performers, and so it was like this marriage of new kids on the block committing to Las Vegas, which we love.
3:58
Dayna Roselli: We are very happy about this.
3:59
Sean McAllister: We do, and so Las Vegas, I believe, is going to be the only place where you can see new kids in 2026.
4:06
Dayna Roselli: It could be if they don't announce anything else, right?
4:09
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
4:09
Dayna Roselli: I mean, but so let's listen to Donnie Wahlberg.
4:12
Dayna Roselli: He's said a little something at the ceremony, and I thought it was really nice.
4:15
SPEAKER_01: The coolest city around on the planet, if we're being honest.
4:19
SPEAKER_01: And uh, you all have set an example for all of us in all of your own unique ways, and we thank you so much for your inspiration, support.
4:26
SPEAKER_01: Means the world that you're here today.
4:28
SPEAKER_01: We know how hard it is to work in Vegas, and uh the hours are ruling, the job is demanding, but the fact that you came out to show us love today means the world to us, and we we really respect and appreciate all of you.
4:39
SPEAKER_01: So thank you.
4:41
SPEAKER_01: And uh we're on to 2026, baby.
4:44
Sean McAllister: Let's go.
4:46
Sean McAllister: All right, I think we're ready.
4:47
Sean McAllister: The blockheads are ready, all the Las Vegas entertainment community is ready.
4:53
Dayna Roselli: I mean, they really bring it at this show.
4:55
Dayna Roselli: Why don't we just go into that?
4:57
Dayna Roselli: That was part of my my weekend with my friends, but I had not seen the new kids on the block residency show yet.
5:04
Dayna Roselli: I have seen them a number of times and love them in concert, mixtape tour, all sorts of things.
5:09
Dayna Roselli: You saw them at iHeart.
5:10
Dayna Roselli: And so I was looking forward to seeing the residency show at Park MGM, and it was incredible.
5:15
Dayna Roselli: I I know I keep saying it, but I really felt like this is how you do a Vegas show, just because it had every single element.
5:21
Dayna Roselli: It had the outfit changes, the sets, some things like the boxes in the air that went up to the balcony, some things that you don't see, you know, at other concerts.
5:29
Dayna Roselli: Um they integrated their personalities, they had energy, they worked the audience, and it just felt like the whole thing encompassed.
5:38
Dayna Roselli: And there were, you know, there was obviously nostalgia because you know, old clips of them sometimes.
5:42
Dayna Roselli: They had the changing cam when they went back, you could see them changing in the back and joking around.
5:47
Dayna Roselli: I mean, it just was very, very entertaining.
5:50
Dayna Roselli: Uh, we never sat down and never wanted to sit down, and it just it was great.
5:56
Dayna Roselli: And they all gave each other their moments, they just work so well together.
6:00
Dayna Roselli: I just thought it was like just full on joy.
6:04
Dayna Roselli: And when you walk out, you're like, that was a blast.
6:07
Sean McAllister: Well, and um obviously from the the videos that you know I've seen of yours and that you posted, uh the production is amazing for their show.
6:18
Sean McAllister: But do you think that it's the the energy and I mean the fun that each of them brings to the stage that makes it such an enjoyable experience?
6:30
Dayna Roselli: I I do.
6:31
Dayna Roselli: I mean, they enjoy each other, you can tell, and enjoy the fans and making people happy.
6:37
Dayna Roselli: They really bring it.
6:39
Dayna Roselli: And I even say that because even when we were at the press event, they're a little bit more subdued in person.
6:44
Dayna Roselli: Yes, they are.
6:45
Dayna Roselli: Their happy place, you can tell, is stage.
6:47
Sean McAllister: Yep.
6:48
Dayna Roselli: You know, they're also obviously very busy and tired.
6:50
Dayna Roselli: I mean, Donnie like flew to shoot Boston Blue, probably in like New York, and then flew back by the time this press event was, and then they had a show that night.
6:57
Dayna Roselli: I mean, it's demanding.
6:59
Dayna Roselli: But um, I was just thinking, like, I mean, the stage is their happy place, they love it, and it rubs off on the entire audience.
7:06
Dayna Roselli: And, you know, they're great dancers too.
7:09
Dayna Roselli: They each have their moves and their signature stuff.
7:12
Dayna Roselli: I mean, they're just and you just can't help them but love them.
7:14
Dayna Roselli: They also have um other dancers with them on stage as well, so that even adds more to the show.
7:20
Dayna Roselli: Um, but I yeah, I just think they they love what they do, they always have and like each other, and it's just a fun place to be for them.
7:28
Dayna Roselli: So it makes it a fun place to be for you.
7:31
Sean McAllister: That's so great.
7:32
Sean McAllister: And I know like you were mentioning, they do it for the fans.
7:36
Sean McAllister: And even Donnie, I think, mentioned at some point during the uh this event that we were at that that is the whole reason for everything that they do, and they appreciate the fact that fans keep coming back, keep supporting them, and they know that they wouldn't be doing what they do without that support.
7:56
Dayna Roselli: It's so true.
7:58
Dayna Roselli: And uh you can tell by even some of the videos that I posted and that we posted from the press event, the fans um their comments, they just love them.
8:07
Dayna Roselli: They've supported them, some for you know, decades.
8:11
Sean McAllister: So well, and even when the when the band went down into the crowd, you know, they all dispersed and they were, you know, in different parts of the theater, they were stopping to take selfies with just about every person they passed, or to grab a hand, to make eye contact.
8:29
Sean McAllister: That was just such uh for me, that was such an endearing thing to see.
8:33
Sean McAllister: And like they wouldn't do that if they didn't actually enjoy it.
8:38
Dayna Roselli: They uh it's so true, and they disperse through the crowd to hit every section, right?
8:42
Dayna Roselli: I love that, you know, the people that are like obviously in the bottom section, but you know, and you and I have like I mean, I've always liked the song tonight, but you and I love the song because I we used it in so catchy, it's so catchy.
8:55
Dayna Roselli: We're always like tonight la la la la la la tonight.
9:00
Dayna Roselli: I mean, they got some jam, so new kids have it.
9:03
Dayna Roselli: I'm excited they're extending, and I think it's gonna do very, very well.
9:06
Dayna Roselli: I mean, they put a lot into it, and it makes sense that I mean the sets are incredible.
9:11
Dayna Roselli: You gotta go still.
9:12
Dayna Roselli: We're gonna get you there.
9:13
Dayna Roselli: Yes.
9:13
Dayna Roselli: Someone commented on Facebook.
9:15
Dayna Roselli: I'm glad you guys, you finally went, and you and Sean have been talking about it, but I was like, we still gotta get Sean there for a long time.
9:20
Sean McAllister: It's been almost a year.
9:22
Sean McAllister: I know.
9:23
Dayna Roselli: All right, so that's the new kids update.
9:25
Dayna Roselli: Um, excited about that and them sticking around in Vegas.
9:28
Dayna Roselli: It's nice, they've really embraced the town too.
9:31
Dayna Roselli: We saw Danny shopping at Target on his social media.
9:35
Dayna Roselli: Joey's hitting up breakfast spots, Donnie and Jenny are over at Barry's downtown eating dinner.
9:41
Dayna Roselli: Jordan, he likes to be low-key.
9:44
Dayna Roselli: He actually went off Instagram and I think even Twitter.
9:47
Dayna Roselli: Like he doesn't have a lot of social media.
9:48
Dayna Roselli: So we don't know what to do.
9:49
Dayna Roselli: I know.
9:50
Sean McAllister: If you have the ability to do that, that is the way to go, I think.
9:54
Dayna Roselli: True.
9:54
Sean McAllister: Man.
9:54
Dayna Roselli: Oh, but him and oh, John posts though.
9:56
Dayna Roselli: And he had uh him and Jordan were hiking in Utah or something.
10:00
Sean McAllister: Oh, that's right.
10:00
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and they were saying they need to go see the chiropractor.
10:06
Sean McAllister: Well, you mentioned that uh Donnie and Jenny McCarthy, his wife, love uh Barry's, the restaurant at Circa.
10:16
Sean McAllister: And that was part, another part of you, it was a very new kids' weekend that you had.
10:21
Sean McAllister: There was another part of this weekend you had, Dana, with a bunch of your close friends coming into town for a great celebration.
10:31
Dayna Roselli: That's right.
10:31
Dayna Roselli: We've been trying more and more to get together all at one time.
10:36
Dayna Roselli: It's a lot of work, people have families, but we made it happen over the summer and now this time.
10:41
Dayna Roselli: So it was crazy.
10:42
Dayna Roselli: My friend Doreen was coming out with our friend from high school, uh, Jeff Jones, who's actually he's big on TikTok as a blockhead, a new kids fan.
10:50
Dayna Roselli: He loves Wizard of Oz and New Kids.
10:52
Dayna Roselli: And he wanted to go see Wizard of Oz at Sphere, new kids also.
10:56
Dayna Roselli: And so she said, Hey, I'm coming and I've never been to Vegas.
10:59
Dayna Roselli: I'm finally gonna be there.
11:00
Dayna Roselli: Then everyone else hopped on board, so that's how it turned into this big thing.
11:04
Sean McAllister: And these are all childhood friends.
11:05
Dayna Roselli: Childhood high school friends, yes, childhood middle school.
11:08
Dayna Roselli: Uh, one I've been friends with since kindergarten.
11:11
Dayna Roselli: So it's like a long term.
11:13
Dayna Roselli: We were all on the cheerleading team together, except one.
11:16
Dayna Roselli: One of them wasn't on the cheerleading team, but um, but that's so fun.
11:19
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so it was a really fun group that we just really feel comfortable around.
11:23
Dayna Roselli: So, yes, we did go to Berry's.
11:25
Dayna Roselli: And now, you know how you and I always say um we never just get to pick things that we want to do.
11:30
Sean McAllister: Right.
11:31
Sean McAllister: So our schedule, our work schedules are have us all over the place all the time.
11:36
Dayna Roselli: Right.
11:37
Dayna Roselli: So we're always having to go, you know, if if we go to a restaurant event or a restaurant opening, we may just want to stay home and eat on a Friday night.
11:44
Dayna Roselli: You know what I mean?
11:45
Dayna Roselli: Because we're like we've gone out and we've been around.
11:47
Dayna Roselli: So it was nice to be able to make a little itinerary with them where I could just pick where I haven't been in a while and where I've been wanting to go.
11:53
Sean McAllister: And where you are going for pleasure and not because you have to take notes and do work stuff and do video and all that stuff.
12:01
Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
12:02
Dayna Roselli: So we went to Barry's because I've been meaning to get back there at Circa Las Vegas.
12:06
Dayna Roselli: Barry's is amazing, and I hadn't been back in, I don't even know.
12:10
Dayna Roselli: I think it's been like two or two and a half years, which is ridiculous.
12:13
Dayna Roselli: So anyway, so we're all going to Barry's.
12:15
Dayna Roselli: And it's funny because when you know people don't know of a place, they're like, okay.
12:19
Dayna Roselli: So I'm like, we're gonna go to Circa, we're going downstairs.
12:21
Dayna Roselli: Anyway, we absolutely, again, just a reminder, loved it.
12:25
Dayna Roselli: First of all, it was slammed on a Saturday night.
12:28
Dayna Roselli: It's packed in there.
12:29
Dayna Roselli: The bar area packed.
12:30
Dayna Roselli: We had an 8 p.m.
12:32
Dayna Roselli: reservation.
12:33
Dayna Roselli: Um, and you know, we got Barry came to the table.
12:37
Dayna Roselli: My friends were like, You're not Barry.
12:39
Dayna Roselli: That's like this is named after.
12:41
Dayna Roselli: We're like, I'm like, yes, that's Chef Barry.
12:43
Dayna Roselli: And they're like, You're Barry?
12:45
Dayna Roselli: We need a picture.
12:46
Dayna Roselli: I mean, they just loved it.
12:47
Dayna Roselli: He was so nice.
12:48
Dayna Roselli: Um, and you know, they did pour us a little glass of champagne, which was really kind, but we got the big huge tomahawk that you share with the table.
12:58
Dayna Roselli: Yep.
12:59
Dayna Roselli: It was$2.99, but we had six people and it was worth it.
13:01
Sean McAllister: That's a good deal, right there.
13:03
Dayna Roselli: It really was.
13:03
Dayna Roselli: And then we got the garbage salad, it's so freaking good there.
13:06
Dayna Roselli: Oh my gosh.
13:07
Dayna Roselli: Amazing.
13:07
Sean McAllister: It's one of Chef Barry's specialties.
13:09
Sean McAllister: It was so he's had that ever since his days at the Palms.
13:12
Dayna Roselli: It's delicious.
13:14
Dayna Roselli: Um, so we loved that.
13:16
Dayna Roselli: They love that.
13:17
Dayna Roselli: Um, everything we had sides, oh, the cream spinach was great.
13:20
Dayna Roselli: So we had a fabulous dinner.
13:22
Dayna Roselli: We had uh two of my friends got the old-fashioned cart, you know, that rolls around.
13:26
Dayna Roselli: They were great.
13:27
Dayna Roselli: And, you know, had some dirty martinis going.
13:30
Dayna Roselli: They brought out some desserts and a happy birthday um dessert for us because we were celebrating all of our birthdays kind of at one time in the vicinity of each other.
13:39
Dayna Roselli: And so that was so nice.
13:40
Dayna Roselli: But we just had just such a great night that they've been texting me since.
13:43
Dayna Roselli: Like we loved berries in the group text.
13:47
Dayna Roselli: Yes.
13:47
Dayna Roselli: They're like, oh my gosh, we miss it so much.
13:50
Dayna Roselli: So that's that.
13:51
Dayna Roselli: We went to Berries, and because I have a lot to get through, I'm gonna keep going.
13:54
Dayna Roselli: Uh, the first night, me and my one friend, as we were waiting for the others, went to the Ocean Prime patio, and I forget how amazing that patio is.
14:01
Sean McAllister: It really is.
14:02
Dayna Roselli: It's beautiful, it's co it, but it has like a very peaceful, comforting vibe, even though you have this view of the strip, you know, with the trees and I don't know, and the staff were great.
14:13
Dayna Roselli: The hot and dirty martini, I must say, is one of my favorites, and we got those amazing.
14:18
Dayna Roselli: The sushi's so good there.
14:20
Dayna Roselli: We got sushi.
14:21
Sean McAllister: I have not had their sushi yet.
14:23
Dayna Roselli: So good.
14:24
Dayna Roselli: It really is.
14:25
Dayna Roselli: When I look at the menu and I have to pick something, I'm like, you know what?
14:28
Dayna Roselli: I just remember the sushi's great, and every time it comes out, I'm like, it's amazing.
14:32
Sean McAllister: I have I have a gift card for Ocean Prime sitting in my gift card drawer that I need to use.
14:39
Sean McAllister: And by the way, here's a tip uh sign up for Ocean Prime's uh alerts and emails because they do a lot of gift card deals a lot of times too.
14:49
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, like spend this amount and blah, blah, blah.
14:51
Dayna Roselli: Um, anyway, so that was great.
14:53
Dayna Roselli: Uh, we really enjoyed it.
14:54
Dayna Roselli: The patio is wonderful, and you can book it right there.
14:56
Dayna Roselli: I can't remember if they're they use open table or seven rooms, but anyway, you book it right in there that you request the patio.
15:03
Dayna Roselli: So um, that was wonderful.
15:06
Dayna Roselli: Also, my friends had a room at Virgin.
15:09
Dayna Roselli: All of them were, let's see, uh, well, two were staying.
15:12
Dayna Roselli: A couple came in, they stayed at Fountain Blue, and then the three of my girlfriends were staying at Virgin Las Vegas, and they got upgraded to this suite and at check-in, and it was like they were blown away.
15:27
Dayna Roselli: And I was blown away when I showed up.
15:29
Dayna Roselli: It's called the Shag Suite.
15:31
Dayna Roselli: It was huge.
15:31
Dayna Roselli: Over three, I think it was like over 3,000 square feet, three separate bedrooms with king beds, four bathrooms, pool table, bar, butler service, and a view of the strip.
15:42
Sean McAllister: I mean, I feel like that's more of a villa than a suite.
15:45
Dayna Roselli: It was amazing.
15:46
Dayna Roselli: It was in the uh the original tower of, you know, what used when the hard rock turned to, yeah, the old hard rock tower.
15:52
Dayna Roselli: Um, now it's Virgin Las Vegas.
15:54
Dayna Roselli: But you know what?
15:54
Dayna Roselli: I mean, you cannot beat it.
15:57
Dayna Roselli: It was uh one of the best suites I've seen because it was fun too.
16:01
Dayna Roselli: And this they they knew that uh my one friend Doreen had never been to Vegas before.
16:05
Dayna Roselli: So I think they really wanted to up the game and give her that experience.
16:09
Dayna Roselli: And they are still, again, texting me like, I'm back, like, you know, volunteering for cheer, my daughter's cheer thing, slinging chicken fingers with a visor on.
16:21
Dayna Roselli: Last week I had butler service.
16:28
Sean McAllister: So it was a good weekend.
16:30
Dayna Roselli: It was a great weekend.
16:31
Dayna Roselli: So that was lovely.
16:32
Dayna Roselli: Um, I also wanted to mention one more thing.
16:35
Dayna Roselli: I everyone left, and I did bring my friend and her husband to the George at Durango to watch some football, watch the Bills game.
16:41
Sean McAllister: Yeah.
16:41
Dayna Roselli: And I just thought this was a great deal.
16:44
Dayna Roselli: So you got a book online um if you want to like really secure your reservation.
16:47
Dayna Roselli: But we went up and they said we do have a table actually on the lawn there at the George, and it's open air, which my friends love because they wanted a nice peaceful Sunday.
16:55
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, but a little bit fun and a little bit Vegas.
16:58
Dayna Roselli: But anyway, they did say you can sit on the lawn, but if you do, it's a$25 minimum per person, which was totally fine.
17:05
Sean McAllister: Which is easy.
17:06
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and then you pay a 20% um like venue fee or something to sit there.
17:11
Dayna Roselli: And they said, Do you still want the table?
17:13
Dayna Roselli: And we're like, Yeah, that's totally fine.
17:15
Dayna Roselli: But I love that they told you up front.
17:17
Dayna Roselli: Right.
17:17
Dayna Roselli: That's what I'm talking about, made all the difference, right?
17:21
Dayna Roselli: Because at least we knew.
17:22
Dayna Roselli: Great, no problem.
17:23
Dayna Roselli: Yes, totally worth it.
17:24
Dayna Roselli: You're giving up a prime seat to us in the middle of a football game.
17:29
Dayna Roselli: And so they let us know.
17:31
Dayna Roselli: Loved it, loved my experience at The George.
17:33
Dayna Roselli: They loved Durango, so that was really great as well.
17:37
Dayna Roselli: We went to see Wizard of Oz.
17:38
Dayna Roselli: Everyone loved that.
17:39
Dayna Roselli: I wasn't going to that because I've seen it twice already, but then one of my friends wasn't feeling great.
17:44
Dayna Roselli: So they're like, well, Dana Roselli, you're in.
17:46
Dayna Roselli: You're coming to Wizard of Oz for a third time.
17:48
Dayna Roselli: So I saw it.
17:49
Dayna Roselli: Here's a little tip for that.
17:50
Dayna Roselli: Um, we sat not in the middle section, we were off to the left in section 300, I think it was.
17:58
Dayna Roselli: And FYI, here are the few things that I noticed.
18:01
Dayna Roselli: It wasn't as windy in the tornado.
18:03
Sean McAllister: Oh, okay.
18:04
Dayna Roselli: So just a little bit, yeah, like it's a little bit more intense if you sit like in the middle sections.
18:10
Dayna Roselli: Um and the apples didn't fall from on that side.
18:16
Dayna Roselli: They fall more in the middle.
18:17
Dayna Roselli: It did snow on that side, and and it, but it was but there were pluses, like you got to be a little bit of a distance from you know, seeing s the butterflies and the monkeys fly.
18:26
Dayna Roselli: So, like, there's like pluses and negatives of everything.
18:29
Dayna Roselli: But I I thought, oh, okay, I'll let everyone know that because we weren't sure if there was any difference.
18:33
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, because we know that's yeah, sat in section 200.
18:36
Sean McAllister: Right, good to know because we've yeah, yeah, been in the same section each of those times.
18:42
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
18:42
Dayna Roselli: So it was a wonderful weekend.
18:44
Dayna Roselli: If I think of anything else later, I'll let you know.
18:46
Dayna Roselli: But that though that's the highlight.
18:48
Dayna Roselli: They loved oh, sorry, one more thing.
18:50
Dayna Roselli: We also went to spago at Bellagio because on like Friday we wanted to just do a patio.
18:57
Dayna Roselli: It was a beautiful day.
18:59
Dayna Roselli: And my one friend said, Well, what about spago?
19:02
Dayna Roselli: You know, because it sits right there by the fountains.
19:03
Dayna Roselli: And I'm like, I don't think they're open for lunch or brunch.
19:06
Dayna Roselli: Um, but then I looked and they were.
19:08
Dayna Roselli: So here's the deal another tip.
19:10
Dayna Roselli: Friday to Sunday, Spago has a brunch, 11 a.m.
19:13
Dayna Roselli: to 2:30.
19:14
Dayna Roselli: And we booked right there, and the 11:30 requested the patio, and all six of us were able to go.
19:21
Dayna Roselli: It was amazing, just a nice, relaxing brunch with a beautiful view right there on the water.
19:27
Dayna Roselli: So nice.
19:28
Dayna Roselli: So that was lovely, and I had no idea that they were open for brunch.
19:32
Dayna Roselli: I thought it was just dinner.
19:33
Dayna Roselli: So Monday through Thursday, they're 4:30 to 10 dinner, and then 4:30 to 10 on Friday to Sunday as well.
19:39
Dayna Roselli: But they do have this brunch, 11 to 2:30 Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
19:45
Dayna Roselli: So keep that in mind.
19:46
Dayna Roselli: Took my friend to the conservatory.
19:47
Dayna Roselli: We went out front and then we watched the fountain show.
19:50
Dayna Roselli: So I did all the highlights.
19:51
Dayna Roselli: A lot of times people ask us, like, what should I do on my first trip?
19:54
Dayna Roselli: And there's a million other things we could have done.
19:56
Dayna Roselli: Just uh it would go on and on and on.
20:00
Dayna Roselli: But though that's what I chose as a group first experience for everyone.
20:06
Sean McAllister: Good itinerary.
20:07
Sean McAllister: And so glad that it was a good trip for everyone who made the the trek out here to Las Vegas.
20:13
Sean McAllister: And happy birthday to all.
20:15
Dayna Roselli: Thank you.
20:15
Dayna Roselli: And all their flights were smooth.
20:17
Dayna Roselli: Miracle was that weekend of the terror of the big shutdown, and but they all made it.
20:21
Dayna Roselli: And I made them all book nonstop flights.
20:23
Dayna Roselli: From the one was coming from Albany, one from JFK, two from Rochester, one from Nashville.
20:29
Sean McAllister: So those are big trips that could be impacted.
20:32
Sean McAllister: Well, good.
20:32
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
20:33
Dayna Roselli: So how was your weekend at the wind?
20:34
Dayna Roselli: Let's get to that because you staycationed at the win that weekend.
20:37
Sean McAllister: Yes, and it was fantastic.
20:40
Sean McAllister: It really was so uh nice to be over there, and we had uh we had dinner at SW Steakhouse, which was absolutely fantastic.
20:53
Sean McAllister: This was a it was a splurge to go there, you know.
20:56
Sean McAllister: That's not not going to SW every single night.
20:59
Sean McAllister: Right.
20:59
Sean McAllister: Um but we ended up having uh a little bit of the uh Wagyu ribeye, the Japanese Wagyu ribeye, and they sell it like it's about sixty-five dollars per ounce, just know that going in, and you get a it's a minimum of four ounces.
21:19
Sean McAllister: Okay.
21:20
Sean McAllister: Um so we ended up getting the four ounces, and it was uh just delicious.
21:28
Sean McAllister: It had so much flavor, it was almost a a creamy buttery texture when you chew it.
21:36
Sean McAllister: Amazing.
21:38
Sean McAllister: And we also uh split uh like a regular nine ounce fillet, um, just because the four ounces was small.
21:45
Sean McAllister: Um and it was crazy how much more flavor the Japanese wagyu had than just a regular fillet.
21:54
Dayna Roselli: Interesting.
21:55
Sean McAllister: And I was like, oh my gosh, now I know why a lot of fillets are served with.
22:00
Sean McAllister: With the selection of sauces on the side to dip it in.
22:06
Sean McAllister: Right.
22:07
Sean McAllister: But doing the side-by-side comparison, it was like there is no comparison.
22:11
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
22:11
Dayna Roselli: So you didn't need any sauces for the Japanese Wagyu.
22:14
Sean McAllister: None.
22:15
Sean McAllister: But nothing on there.
22:16
Sean McAllister: And that's actually what our server said.
22:18
Sean McAllister: She was like, honestly, if you're coming in here and you want a great steak experience, she's like, I I would just recommend going for the Wagyu.
22:28
Sean McAllister: I know it's more expensive.
22:30
Sean McAllister: I know it's a treat.
22:31
Sean McAllister: But if that's what you're coming in for, get that and and skip over some of the other steak selections.
22:40
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
22:41
Sean McAllister: So I appreciated the honesty there.
22:43
Sean McAllister: We had a beautiful seat.
22:44
Sean McAllister: We had a um open air there too, right?
22:47
Sean McAllister: Yeah, they had the doors all opened up looking out to the lake of dreams.
22:51
Sean McAllister: We were inside the restaurant in a booth, kind of right in the center, but it looked straight out to the lake of dreams.
22:58
Sean McAllister: And so we saw the, you know, the show going on out there, and it was just beautiful.
23:03
Sean McAllister: Uh fantastic dinner.
23:05
Sean McAllister: Um the room, um, the room over there at Wynn was fantastic too.
23:11
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, you loved that room.
23:12
Sean McAllister: Oh my gosh.
23:13
Dayna Roselli: You said you took a nap in there, even though you were on staycation, because the beds were so comfortable.
23:17
Sean McAllister: The beds were so comfortable, and I was like, you know what?
23:20
Sean McAllister: If we have this room, let's take advantage of it and like actually use it for more than just like crashing at the end of the night.
23:28
Sean McAllister: Right.
23:29
Sean McAllister: Like, let's relax in it, let's enjoy it.
23:31
Sean McAllister: So we did.
23:32
Sean McAllister: And the rooms are beautiful, so well done.
23:36
Sean McAllister: The staff over there, everyone we encountered was great.
23:39
Sean McAllister: Um we did go out to the Lake of Dreams separately uh to watch the the show and hang out.
23:47
Sean McAllister: And at one point, the music went off, and there was a message that came up on the waterfall, and it was wishing Kay a happy birthday from Matt.
24:00
Sean McAllister: And we were like, Oh my gosh, I didn't know you could like rent out the Lake of Dreams waterfall uh for birthday messages, and so when the server came over, I was like, I didn't know you could do this, and she was like, Yeah, I didn't either.
24:14
Sean McAllister: She was like, This is the first time I have ever seen that done, and they also shut the music off out there for the message.
24:23
Sean McAllister: She was like, So that must have been somebody important to have that happen.
24:28
Dayna Roselli: Right, okay.
24:29
Dayna Roselli: Oh, so that's not something you can just get get it.
24:32
Sean McAllister: Doesn't seem like it.
24:33
Dayna Roselli: Okay, got it.
24:34
Sean McAllister: Um, but I said I shared that on my stories.
24:37
Sean McAllister: I was like, well done, Matt.
24:38
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, whatever you got, who whatever strings you pulled, right?
24:41
Dayna Roselli: Right.
24:41
Sean McAllister: That was great.
24:42
Dayna Roselli: But that is a nice little area that a lot of people we always say over and over, don't really uh for some reason don't know about it.
24:48
Dayna Roselli: Right.
24:49
Dayna Roselli: And I'm talking about like, yeah, I mean, sometimes locals too.
24:52
Dayna Roselli: I don't, but I like that about it.
24:54
Dayna Roselli: It's kind of like this little oasis that you either know about it, you don't.
24:58
Sean McAllister: Right.
24:58
Dayna Roselli: We're telling you about it because it's great.
24:59
Dayna Roselli: They do the shows and it's beautiful out there.
25:02
Sean McAllister: And we did spend a day at the pool over at Wynn.
25:05
Sean McAllister: Um, by the way, uh it was at one of their side pools uh where we were hanging out because the main pools over at Wynn are being redone right now.
25:14
Dayna Roselli: Oh, okay.
25:15
Sean McAllister: They had the you know, the jackhammers were out, the crews were out there, so it seems like they're gonna be renovating their main pool areas all winter long with a I imagine uh opening in time for spring.
25:30
Sean McAllister: Right.
25:30
Sean McAllister: So if you're planning a spring vacation at Wynn, you should have uh a brand new pool experience out there.
25:38
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, when my friends at Virgin, there was one of the pools that was open, the other were closed, and Fountain Blue, same thing, one of the pools, and they're like, oh, just one of the pools.
25:46
Dayna Roselli: And I'm like, well, the it was like the weekend of November 7th, and it was very warm here.
25:50
Dayna Roselli: It was I wouldn't say it was like unseen, it was like a little bit warmer than normal.
25:53
Dayna Roselli: But it was usually like mid-70s and it was like 80.
25:57
Sean McAllister: Yep.
25:57
Dayna Roselli: So, um, so anyway, and they're like, Well, what's the deal?
26:00
Dayna Roselli: I'm like, well, you know, like Fountain Blue's gotta get ready to put in an ice rink, like it's holiday time, you know, like it's like all of a sudden we just you know shift into what's next, you know?
26:08
Dayna Roselli: We gotta move on.
26:09
Dayna Roselli: Thanksgiving, Christmas.
26:10
Dayna Roselli: I go, yeah, like Fountain Blue's putting in an ice rink, probably.
26:13
Dayna Roselli: And then, you know, Virgin has that whole sand area and they probably close that part because it doesn't get as busy, just keep the one family pool open.
26:21
Dayna Roselli: But um, you know, that time of year, a lot of the pools close or leave one open.
26:26
Dayna Roselli: So just know that there's gonna be a choice, a place, but it's gonna be limited.
26:32
Sean McAllister: Yes.
26:33
Sean McAllister: Yeah.
26:33
Sean McAllister: So overall, the the stay over at Wynn was good absolutely fantastic.
26:40
Sean McAllister: Loved it.
26:40
Sean McAllister: It was relaxing, enjoyable, uh, from top to bottom.
26:44
Dayna Roselli: Good.
26:45
Dayna Roselli: I'm glad you enjoyed that.
26:46
Dayna Roselli: Um, okay, so we've got more stuff to talk about.
26:49
Dayna Roselli: Well, I thought I would mention this because when I mentioned that I had six people in town, I saw this that Fountain Blue was offering this big league package at the tavern there.
26:59
Dayna Roselli: And it's exclusively for group lounge seating, five to 12 guests.
27:03
Dayna Roselli: And I thought, okay, if people do come in with a big group, sometimes it is hard to know your options and plan.
27:10
Dayna Roselli: Um, so it's right there within the resort's uh sports book, but um, they now have like a bunch of different things that they offer, like a first down menu, like you can get endless guacamole and chips, buffalo chicken sliders, cornbread bites, pigs in a blanket, that whole thing.
27:25
Dayna Roselli: Um, and then they also have you know a shellfish tower, lots of other choices, but you can go to the website and reserve a seat there.
27:35
Dayna Roselli: And it's right there on the Fountainblue Lasvegas.com website.
27:40
Dayna Roselli: Go to Dining Restaurants The Tavern and you'll see the offering there.
27:43
Dayna Roselli: But it's it's hard to plan with big groups.
27:46
Dayna Roselli: You really I had to take a full night and really write out an itinerary and think about reservations and places that you could secure and and try and figure out what time you would be there.
27:56
Dayna Roselli: So, so this is an option for you at Fountain Blue.
27:59
Dayna Roselli: If you want to watch a game and you got a big group, or just locals that want to go over there and have a big group of friends.
28:05
Sean McAllister: Yeah, and I think it's a great idea for them to have uh different package levels as well.
28:11
Sean McAllister: You know, if you just want some uh variety of a few small bites, yeah, they've got that.
28:17
Sean McAllister: If you want to go up to, you know, more uh packages with heartier uh dishes, you know, with sliders, you know, buckets of popcorn, all that kind of stuff, they've got that for you too.
28:29
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
28:29
Sean McAllister: So depending on the size of your group, how hungry you are, what you want, how long you're gonna be there, they've got that covered.
28:36
Sean McAllister: So the big game, big league packages over at the tavern at Fountain Blue.
28:42
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and also this is dropping.
28:43
Dayna Roselli: Um, it's F1 week.
28:44
Dayna Roselli: So F1 is started for this weekend.
28:47
Dayna Roselli: Um, got the downtown festival happening, the music and culinary festival, Neon City.
28:52
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
28:52
Dayna Roselli: So we got that going on, the F1 race, and finally all that you know, setup that we've had to go through because it does back up the side roads.
29:01
Dayna Roselli: It's been a little bit of a mess.
29:02
Dayna Roselli: We had SEMA car show in when we had other things going on at the same time.
29:06
Dayna Roselli: It has been a little complicated as usual to get around out like the strip.
29:11
Dayna Roselli: Like the actual strip is fine, it's the little side roads, but um, the race is here, and once you see that race on television and you look at the final product, it is perfection.
29:22
Sean McAllister: I mean, it really is, and I'm excited.
29:24
Sean McAllister: Uh so this drops, this episode drops on Thursday of F1 week.
29:29
Sean McAllister: I'm actually going tonight to uh watch at Ellis Island tonight.
29:37
Sean McAllister: Tonight.
29:37
Sean McAllister: La la la.
29:38
Sean McAllister: Yeah, you're going to Ellis Island.
29:39
Sean McAllister: I'm going to Ellis Island because they had that great deal for hundred dollar tickets to watch the race from the front yard.
29:47
Dayna Roselli: Well, that's the thing, is we were over there interviewing Christina Ellis, and you were blown away by the deal that she mentioned.
29:52
Dayna Roselli: So then you're like, I need to get tickets, and you did.
29:55
Sean McAllister: Because they have a viewing platform set up out there for the Koval straightaway.
29:59
Sean McAllister: You get the food, you get you know, beer and wine.
30:01
Sean McAllister: It's all included in that price.
30:03
Sean McAllister: I was like, yep, doing it.
30:04
Sean McAllister: So yeah, um, next episode, I'll um share some some of that experience as well.
30:10
Dayna Roselli: Okay, good.
30:11
Dayna Roselli: Um, what else do we got going on?
30:13
Dayna Roselli: I feel like we had a lot to talk about um when it comes to some of the things that we are going out to do.
30:19
Dayna Roselli: So just FYI.
30:21
Dayna Roselli: Um, as I mentioned, the Oasis Ice Rink is back at Fountain Blue.
30:24
Dayna Roselli: That's opening November 24th.
30:27
Dayna Roselli: So that's exciting.
30:28
Dayna Roselli: Uh, what else has been announced?
30:29
Dayna Roselli: Uh a chant is back at the Las Vegas ballpark.
30:32
Dayna Roselli: If you love just like this winter wonderland with, you know, ice skating and and booths with food and crafts and beautiful lit up trees and themes.
30:43
Sean McAllister: The uh cactus garden over at uh the Ethylm Chocolate Factory is going to be opening for this season as well, along with uh glittering lights, the drive-thru holiday attraction.
30:56
Sean McAllister: I think they expanded that route through the Christmas light displays up to three miles now.
31:04
Sean McAllister: Um plus there's a new drive-thru, uh, there's a few new holidays.
31:08
Sean McAllister: There's one at M Resort, there's another one in Henderson, um, another drive-thru thing.
31:14
Sean McAllister: I believe that's at um the Central Church that at that complex.
31:21
Dayna Roselli: Okay.
31:21
Sean McAllister: Over there.
31:22
Dayna Roselli: And the iconic Sand Aller Lounge is uh uh returning with the miracle on Spring Mountain holiday pop-up.
31:29
Dayna Roselli: This is amazing over there.
31:31
Dayna Roselli: We're going over to do an interview and check it out.
31:34
Dayna Roselli: If you've never been, it's a favorite among locals.
31:37
Dayna Roselli: Um, and so we're gonna dive into that and show you some of the cute things they they got going on.
31:42
Dayna Roselli: They have cocktails and we're gonna get a little tour and it's really fun.
31:46
Dayna Roselli: It's it's kind of off Spring Mountain, and I I don't mean to call it a dive bar, but I don't think they even care.
31:51
Dayna Roselli: It's kind of a dive bar, which it's fun to see how they just it's like Christmas threw up in there.
31:56
Dayna Roselli: I know you love it.
31:57
Sean McAllister: I love it, it's so much fun, and they do such a good job.
32:00
Sean McAllister: Uh also uh the next obviously we mentioned at the top of the show, we'll be off for Thanksgiving.
32:06
Sean McAllister: But the following week, um, we'll have some a new interview about National Finals rodeo, which kicks off on December 3rd, goes through the 14th.
32:16
Sean McAllister: So we'll have new stuff on that.
32:19
Sean McAllister: Um there's a lot.
32:21
Dayna Roselli: There's a lot.
32:23
Sean McAllister: New restaurants, new interviews.
32:25
Dayna Roselli: We're gonna head over and interview the president of Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
32:29
Dayna Roselli: He's got a busy week with F1, so we're gonna squeeze that in and then have that for you later and see what they've got new, you know, going on over there.
32:37
Dayna Roselli: You know, it's a challenge for them because it used to be the hard rock, and uh they've changed over, but they've done so many fabulous things that we were like, you know what, we need to talk to Cliff over there at Virgin.
32:47
Dayna Roselli: But we got more coming up and tips, so should we do that?
32:50
Dayna Roselli: Now we've got deals for you.
32:58
Sean McAllister: All right, so we are coming up to a time of year when it's all about all the marketing stuff out there, it's all about shopping, shopping, shopping, shopping, shopping, shopping, shopping.
33:10
Sean McAllister: Buy now for the holidays, all this stuff.
33:13
Sean McAllister: After Thanksgiving, obviously, we have Black Friday, which has kind of already started with all the early Black Friday deals.
33:19
Sean McAllister: But there's Black Friday followed by Cyber Monday, and now there is Travel Tuesday.
33:25
Dayna Roselli: What and I was like, what is Travel Tuesday?
33:28
Sean McAllister: Well, we looked it up, and it is an unofficial shopping holiday where you get all the travel deals, hotel stays, flight deals, anything travel related.
33:41
Sean McAllister: The Tuesday after Thanksgiving is apparently one of the best times to buy.
33:46
Sean McAllister: Okay, according to all the marketing messages out there.
33:49
Dayna Roselli: I will be the judge of that because I might actually open up the laptop on that Tuesday after Thanksgiving, just because now I'm curious.
33:56
Dayna Roselli: Like, how good are the deals really?
33:58
Sean McAllister: Yeah.
33:59
Dayna Roselli: But I don't know.
34:00
Sean McAllister: Travel Tuesday maybe because we keep an eye on stuff pretty much year round.
34:03
Dayna Roselli: We do.
34:04
Dayna Roselli: I'm like, send me an email when there's a sale and then I'll go on, you know.
34:07
Dayna Roselli: But um, yeah, there's a lot going on.
34:09
Dayna Roselli: But listen, hey, if it we like travel Tuesday because that means we can get visitors to Las Vegas and make it easier for you to travel here.
34:17
Dayna Roselli: So we're all for it.
34:18
Dayna Roselli: So we did want to mention a couple different things.
34:20
Dayna Roselli: MGM has uh a lot going on, and then uh going back to Fountain Blue from November 26th through December 3rd, guests can enjoy 20% off and a complimentary resort fees on all future available dates.
34:37
Dayna Roselli: Um, and then with the rewards program, if you have that, you're going to receive 25% off and complimentary resort fees during the same booking window.
34:47
Dayna Roselli: There are some blackout dates that apply, but this is all in kind of like mixed in with Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Travel Tuesday.
34:56

40:35
Dayna Roselli: And by the way, it's fine to do some of these things alone because everyone's here, they're in groups, there's people.
