  Dayna Roselli: So thanks so much for all of that to all our monthly subscribers.
• 3:20
  Dayna Roselli: Our first topic is the Brightline train.
• 3:22
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, this is something that we've talked about here on Vegas revealed before.
• 3:27
  Sean McAllister: It's something that's been talked about here in Las Vegas for as long as I've been here almost 20 years, and even further back than that.
• 3:35
  Sean McAllister: People have talked about a high speed train from Las Vegas to Southern California and if you're in Southern California, it's a high speed train from Southern California to Vegas.
• 3:44
  Sean McAllister: There have been plans that have been floated out there that haven't really gone anywhere, but this Brightline train is really seeming like the most promising proposal yet.
• 3:57
  Dayna Roselli: Right and it looks like we're waiting.
• 3:58
  Dayna Roselli: This month we're going to possibly get some good news that we're hoping and get that grant money that's needed to basically move forward and move to the next step.
• 4:07
  Dayna Roselli: So we have continued to move forward with this project over the last year, which is more than we've had in the past.
• 4:14
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly, exactly.
• 4:17
  Sean McAllister: This is almost $4 billion in grant money from the federal government that would go to help move this project along.
• 4:25
  Sean McAllister: Start laying the tracks.
• 4:26
  Sean McAllister: This train would essentially go down the median of the I-15 from Las Vegas to Southern California.
• 4:33
  Sean McAllister: So that's.
• 4:36
  Sean McAllister: The space for the tracks is already there, which is a good thing.
• 4:41
  Sean McAllister: The station that they plan to build here in Southern Nevada would be around the Silverton Hotel Casino, if you're familiar with that area, and that really is getting sports fans excited about the potential of this train as well.
• 4:58
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, we saw an article in the review journal this week that really pointed out that this is going to help sports attendance, you know, as far as people coming into Las Vegas to see games and then vice versa, like the Los Angeles area is getting the Olympics.
• 5:14
  Sean McAllister: Right In 2028.
• 5:16
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and they're saying, like you know, lots of people from here might hop on the train and go to the Olympics.
• 5:21
  Dayna Roselli: So I mean it is going to be interesting, you know, because it's quicker, it's easier and then, like some were pointing out, like once you hop on the train, kind of your vacation has already begun.
• 5:31
  Dayna Roselli: You don't have to worry about the hassle of getting in the car, driving, having to stop along the way, get something to eat, pay attention to the road, like you're relaxing right away at the beginning.
• 5:40
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and I mean the train is going to be.
• 5:43
  Sean McAllister: First of all, it's a high speed train.
• 5:45
  Sean McAllister: It'll travel at speeds up to upwards of 185 miles per hour.
• 5:51
  Sean McAllister: So, and this is all electric, so it'll make that trip from Las Vegas to Southern California so much quicker than it is now if you're driving.
• 6:01
  Sean McAllister: Plus there's there are going to be amenities like Wi-Fi.
• 6:04
  Sean McAllister: I imagine there's going to be, you know, snacks and that kind of stuff available.
• 6:10
  Sean McAllister: That's what I love about train travel.
• 6:12
  Sean McAllister: From living back on the East Coast, you could hop on that Amtrak train in New York and take it all the way down to Florida.
• 6:20
  Dayna Roselli: That's what we did a few times.
• 6:22
  Dayna Roselli: No, that's great and it was great.
• 6:23
  Dayna Roselli: They have the bar car they have you know the snacks that you can get on there.
• 6:26
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, you know it's get off at certain stops when you have time and stretch your legs a little bit.
• 6:34
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I mean anything where you don't have to pay attention.
• 6:36
  Dayna Roselli: That's why I like that.
• 6:37
  Dayna Roselli: I don't like paying attention to anything.
• 6:40
  Dayna Roselli: But you know they're also saying, you know, with the possibility of us possibly getting a professional baseball team, getting a NBA team, that you know saying, hey, we've got this train.
• 6:51
  Dayna Roselli: You know it's more appealing to the NBA to bring a team here to Las Vegas and things like that, because the ease of travel.
• 6:59
  Dayna Roselli: So it's interesting.
• 7:02
  Dayna Roselli: And obviously you know, maybe the Las Vegas A's are coming, maybe they aren't.
• 7:06
  Dayna Roselli: I know there's just like still, it's just like not final, final, final there, but I think they hired like a construction firm or something.
• 7:11
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, we have a lot of professional sports here.
• 7:14
  Dayna Roselli: This train could help that interesting take and then we will keep you posted on what happens in September as far as that grant money goes.
• 7:21
  Sean McAllister: I am pro train, yeah for sure.
• 7:23
  Sean McAllister: All the way.
• 7:23
  Sean McAllister: We were in downtown Las Vegas to celebrate the birthday of a friend and colleague, stephanie Wilson, who has Wicked Creative PR firm.
• 7:34
  Sean McAllister: She had a birthday party and had it at Cheap Shot in downtown Las Vegas, right there on East Fremont Street.
• 7:45
  Dayna Roselli: I know we were.
• 7:45
  Dayna Roselli: I was like I've never been to Cheap Shot but we went and we just thought you know what we've got to let everyone know about this place.
• 7:50
  Dayna Roselli: It's cute, it's not overly huge but it's kind of long.
• 7:53
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 7:54
  Dayna Roselli: It's got some tables, a great bar, a little stage where the moonshiners were performing for the birthday.
• 8:00
  Dayna Roselli: They were excellent and it just was a fabulous time and I loved it and I had never been there before.
• 8:06
  Dayna Roselli: There's a lot of new little bars on that stretch, so if you head downtown, keep Cheap Shot on your list.
• 8:12
  Dayna Roselli: It was cool.
• 8:14
  Sean McAllister: It was.
• 8:14
  Sean McAllister: They had a good cocktail list as well, and Sammy Hagar made a surprise appearance there as well.
• 8:22
  Dayna Roselli: I know, right, that was so much fun.
• 8:24
  Dayna Roselli: Now Sammy has been a client of Stephanie she does PR for Sammy for a long time and we weren't sure if he was going to pop in, but he did.
• 8:32
  Dayna Roselli: He flew in.
• 8:33
  Dayna Roselli: He popped into surprise Stephanie.
• 8:35
  Dayna Roselli: So it was fun to just, you know, be at a small bar downtown hanging out with Sammy Hagar, so that was a lot of fun.
• 8:41
  Sean McAllister: It was, and big, big happy birthday, stephanie.
• 8:44
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, we're glad to help you celebrate.
• 8:47
  Dayna Roselli: All right, what else we got going on the sphere.
• 8:49
  Dayna Roselli: You know what?
• 8:50
  Dayna Roselli: The other day I had gone to Palazzo Venetian to meet an old friend.
• 8:54
  Dayna Roselli: It was fun and on the exit Didn't look too busy down sands, and so I was like, ok, I'm going to turn right to go home, but there are still some lanes closed.
• 9:02
  Dayna Roselli: But, sean, what I noticed and I know we've talked about this before, but I never witnessed like, as I was driving by, the lines of cars pulled over to the side of the road to see the sphere, take pictures of the sphere.
• 9:12
  Dayna Roselli: People were just hanging out like it was like a tailgate moment.
• 9:16
  Sean McAllister: So that's still happening.
• 9:17
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, are still causing traffic backups to get those pictures.
• 9:23
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, sorry, I didn't, we were asking.
• 9:25
  Sean McAllister: No, you were saying it is.
• 9:26
  Sean McAllister: No, because I haven't been down there ever since that last traffic headache that took us an hour and a half to get home from the strip.
• 9:33
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 9:33
  Sean McAllister: I've just avoided that right Completely.
• 9:37
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, it's still happening.
• 9:38
  Dayna Roselli: That was last week.
• 9:38
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, there were people like lining the road both sides and the thing is is like for right now, because there are cones, one of the lanes is closed.
• 9:48
  Dayna Roselli: So in all reality I don't want to say it's safe, but it's safer than if the road was open.
• 9:53
  Dayna Roselli: You can just pull to the side of the road because there are cones blocking a lane.
• 9:57
  Dayna Roselli: So people feel like, oh, I'm going to pull in there and make this line of cars.
• 10:01
  Dayna Roselli: But then also I was seeing I think it was Las Vegas locally on Twitter was showing the pedestrian bridge, also very crowded.
• 10:09
  Sean McAllister: Oh, I bet.
• 10:10
  Dayna Roselli: With people just kind of like hanging out and taking pictures and videos and just kind of watching the sphere, the outside of the sphere, the exosphere, the sphere is not open yet, so keep that in mind.
• 10:20
  Dayna Roselli: They're doing a lot of different things at night, a lot of different testing, so you're seeing different, you know different kind of variations of things.
• 10:28
  Dayna Roselli: Actually, if you're watching our video podcast, my friend stayed at the Venetian and sent a video from his room with it's a time lapse, just kind of showing what it looks like if you stay at the Venetian on the backside.
• 10:41
  Sean McAllister: And they've finally started putting some advertisements up there on the sphere for the you to residency right as well, which is coming up here pretty soon, the end of September.
• 10:50
  Sean McAllister: Okay, got it yeah, that was.
• 10:53
  Dayna Roselli: We're going to see all sorts of stuff, so my mom is curious to see if she's going to like the sphere or not.
• 10:58
  Dayna Roselli: She's like I don't know, it might be too big and it might be too much.
• 11:00
  Dayna Roselli: I'm like, well, you don't live here, but it'll be interesting to see what, what my mother thinks.
• 11:06
  Dayna Roselli: She's like I think it's gaudy.
• 11:07
  Dayna Roselli: I'm like I don't think it's gaudy, mom, but she's not a big fan of the hard rock guitar hotel that's going up either.
• 11:16
  Sean McAllister: We need to start a special segment on Vegas revealed and call it Diane's hot take.
• 11:21
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah it's our hot take, that's for sure.
• 11:23
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, speaking of the Venetian and Palazzo, yes, paid parking did go into effect.
• 11:28
  Dayna Roselli: We talked about this in the past.
• 11:29
  Dayna Roselli: It is now in effect.
• 11:31
  Dayna Roselli: But we were relieved, as Las Vegas residents, to read that we are getting the three hours free.
• 11:38
  Dayna Roselli: Locals with an Nevada ID do get three hours free.
• 11:42
  Dayna Roselli: So that is like thank goodness, just because I went to visit this friend the other night.
• 11:47
  Dayna Roselli: She was in and her husband was here for a conference and we met for a few hours and I would have been bummed if I had to like drive there, meet her, pay for parking.
• 11:58
  Dayna Roselli: Then we sat for a long time, we had some drinks, we got a pizza.
• 12:01
  Dayna Roselli: I spent a lot of money that night, about $95 plus tip, just for my half, and I would have had to pay for parking on top of that.
• 12:10
  Dayna Roselli: So at least I know the three hours would be free.
• 12:13
  Sean McAllister: And then I get out right and if you are not a Nevada local with an ID that you scan the parking kiosk.
• 12:21
  Sean McAllister: So parking prices start at $15 for the first four hours, I believe, and then they go up to $23.
• 12:31
  Sean McAllister: If you're not staying at the hotel, valet is still $35.
• 12:40
  Dayna Roselli: Got it.
• 12:40
  Dayna Roselli: So that's expensive it is, but also if you're reward members there, I think it's all waived.
• 12:48
  Sean McAllister: If you're a certain tier level.
• 12:50
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and part of their.
• 12:52
  Sean McAllister: I think the grotsey rewards program is what it's called over at Venetian and Palazzo.
• 12:57
  Dayna Roselli: All right, so there you have it.
• 12:59
  Dayna Roselli: Paid parking is an effect.
• 13:01
  Dayna Roselli: You know it makes sense.
• 13:01
  Dayna Roselli: They have the sphere next door and I guess they they had to make a change.
• 13:05
  Dayna Roselli: Next, we're hearing rumors it is not confirmed that the wind might start charging for parking.
• 13:10
  Dayna Roselli: We aren't sure, for right now it's free, so let's hope they don't decide to do that.
• 13:16
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, ride that wave for as long as you can for sure.
• 13:19
  Sean McAllister: Well, back to entertainment here on the Las Vegas strip of Wayne Newton, we talked about his new Las Vegas show not his new Las Vegas show, but his continued residency over at the flamingo Las Vegas, and we were happy to see that he popped up on the today show this week.
• 13:36
  Dayna Roselli: I know, and he talked about more shows that he's adding over at the flamingo.
• 13:39
  Dayna Roselli: So we were on it last week.
• 13:41
  Dayna Roselli: We knew he was starting again in September.
• 13:43
  Dayna Roselli: So we're like, okay, we got a lot of everyone know that Wayne Newton's back at Bugsies.
• 13:47
  Dayna Roselli: He was on the today show, talked about a variety of things, including his love of Las Vegas.
• 13:52
  Dayna Roselli: I love what he said about how Las Vegas, the he loves the people here that were there good people and it's a great place to live and I agree with you, wayne.
• 13:59
  Dayna Roselli: So go check out Wayne over at the flamingo.
• 14:01
  Dayna Roselli: He's at the Bugsies cabaret.
• 14:03
  Dayna Roselli: He tells stories, he sings and it's just really kind of like a throwback show if you want to.
• 14:09
  Dayna Roselli: And he was saying he's getting a lot of guys in the audience that want to come and have an interest in Vegas, nostalgia and stuff.
• 14:15
  Sean McAllister: I mean that I love that.
• 14:16
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 14:16
  Sean McAllister: Wayne has great stories, as we mentioned last week, so it is a great show.
• 14:21
  Sean McAllister: Put that on your on your Vegas to-do list.
• 14:25
  Sean McAllister: Speaking of concerts, there has been a lot of talk about Las Vegas concerts and shows Over the past several weeks, more specifically, about the etiquette of fans who go in sea shows.
• 14:39
  Sean McAllister: Here in Las Vegas, there have been a couple high-profile incidents, starting with Miranda Lambert over at her show at Planet Hollywood and then most recently at Adele's show at Caesar's Palace.
• 14:53
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, over at the Coliseum, so it just keeps coming up.
• 14:56
  Dayna Roselli: You and I were just chatting and we're like you know what.
• 14:58
  Dayna Roselli: Let's just talk about this for a minute, because it has really brought up the conversation and the thought of what is concert etiquette, what is show etiquette?
• 15:08
  Dayna Roselli: Is a Vegas show different than a concert?
• 15:10
  Dayna Roselli: And all that kind of thing.
• 15:11
  Dayna Roselli: And you know what you and I were chatting before we started to record and we're like I mean, there are so many different versions of this.
• 15:17
  Dayna Roselli: It could go either way that I don't know that there is a specific answer.
• 15:23
  Dayna Roselli: So maybe the answer is the artist and the venue need to come up with Verbiage that is either on the website where you're gonna buy your ticket it's on your email when you purchase your ticket.
• 15:35
  Dayna Roselli: That kind of spells out, because you and I were saying the Coliseum does put a sign out that says we encourage standing and dancing during our shows and Specifically at Adele's show they put that sign out.
• 15:46
  Sean McAllister: I'm not sure if it's there for every show.
• 15:48
  Sean McAllister: I don't know either, but for Adele's show that was definitely the case, and the reason that there was back and forth about that is because the member of her audience was getting I Don't want to say heckled.
• 16:03
  Sean McAllister: The people behind him were Repeatedly asking him to sit down, but he was standing there.
• 16:10
  Sean McAllister: He had his selfie stick.
• 16:12
  Sean McAllister: He was recording his experience at Adele's show.
• 16:16
  Sean McAllister: They were asking him repeatedly to sit down, but he was enjoying it when security came to try and Resolve the issue which, by the way, from looking at all the video out there, security was being respectful and nice.
• 16:30
  Sean McAllister: Adele saw all this happening from the stage.
• 16:33
  Sean McAllister: She stopped the show and said you know what?
• 16:35
  Sean McAllister: If you want to stand, stand, let's have fun and keep this show going.
• 16:39
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, she was kind of like stop bothering him, he's just having fun.
• 16:42
  Dayna Roselli: It was kind of a sweet moment that she sort of pointed him out and and the fans you know of Adele are loving that.
• 16:48
  Dayna Roselli: They're like Queen Adele stuck up for us and all that, yeah.
• 16:51
  Dayna Roselli: And then, you know, there was a little bit of confusion because everyone's like well, if you're encouraged to stand, why is security stop?
• 16:57
  Dayna Roselli: But you know that, like you said, the security guard seemed very respectful.
• 17:00
  Dayna Roselli: It was like he was getting requests from the back rows of like could you ask him to sit?
• 17:04
  Dayna Roselli: And he was trying to say like Sing and do whatever, but maybe sit.
• 17:07
  Dayna Roselli: And then she stopped him in the whole thing.
• 17:09
  Dayna Roselli: So I mean, everyone does need to get on the same page.
• 17:12
  Dayna Roselli: I think, yes, adele is a Vegas show, but she puts a sign out there.
• 17:16
  Dayna Roselli: She encourages the, the standing, it's what she likes.
• 17:19
  Dayna Roselli: So you need to be able to, you know, basically Respect that as well.
• 17:24
  Dayna Roselli: We've gone to many shows in Vegas where people in front of us have stood the whole time and our choice is Sit and be blocked or stand with them.
• 17:33
  Dayna Roselli: And artists a lot of artists, most artists, I would assume want people standing so they can feel the vibe and the energy.
• 17:40
  Sean McAllister: Well, that's a good point, because I know that I have been to some shows here in Las Vegas where the audience has Largely been sitting for the bulk of the show and it really does feel like an energy suck when the audience is just sitting and there's clapping right like I.
• 17:59
  Sean McAllister: I always in those moments I kind of feel bad for the artist who's up there performing, because, especially if it's an artist that's used to doing Touring shows, where you do have, you know, an entire sea of people who are standing down in front of you and, like you know, rocking out music, dancing, you know, arm pumping, it's a.
• 18:23
  Sean McAllister: It's not like that.
• 18:24
  Sean McAllister: When you're in a theater where everyone is just sitting down, no, and I don't know.
• 18:29
  Sean McAllister: Looking out and seeing that, I feel like that.
• 18:33
  Sean McAllister: Artists have talked about how they feed off the energy that comes from the audience, and when the audience is just sitting down, that's not a whole heck of a lot of energy.
• 18:42
  Dayna Roselli: Coming back to the artist, yeah, and even we were at Garth Brooks and in phones weren't allowed in there, but people were still standing.
• 18:48
  Dayna Roselli: There were a couple times where he said, alright, I want to talk to you guys, and everyone sat.
• 18:51
  Dayna Roselli: You know, you kind of felt like you stood, you but but, but we stood too and we went to and you know, I, you and I can't remember what exact show if it was Keith Urban, dixie, there was someone in front of us, a couple, and they said, oh, it was like two girls, they, they bought tickets and they said we have a sign, we're gonna hold it up Throughout the show every now and then we are probably gonna be standing the whole show.
• 19:13
  Dayna Roselli: But they kind of let us know.
• 19:14
  Dayna Roselli: We're like, go for it.
• 19:15
  Dayna Roselli: You bought your tickets, you're here to have a good time.
• 19:17
  Dayna Roselli: You're here to think it was Keith Urban.
• 19:19
  Dayna Roselli: You're here to see Keith.
• 19:20
  Dayna Roselli: Like, go for it.
• 19:22
  Dayna Roselli: Everyone's opinions are different.
• 19:24
  Dayna Roselli: This has been all over the place with comments, this and that, but basically what we're saying is maybe we just all need to get on the same page.
• 19:31
  Dayna Roselli: It needs to be spelled out so that people know People are probably most likely going to be standing or sitting or whatever the artist wants well, and I will say Garth Brooks does a great job of commanding and directing his audience.
• 19:48
  Sean McAllister: There are times when he says alright, I want everybody in here on their feet, let's go, let's get this together.
• 19:54
  Sean McAllister: And then, as you mentioned, there are other times during his show when he says alright, you've all been standing for a little bit, let's all take it down a notch, take a seat, take a load off for a little bit.
• 20:07
  Dayna Roselli: I'm gonna be talking here, you know that's something Miranda Lambert could have done them for her slow song.
• 20:12
  Dayna Roselli: For the girls that went and didn't really know Her set list, didn't know her music all too well.
• 20:18
  Dayna Roselli: They heard she was great, they wanted to check out the concert.
• 20:20
  Dayna Roselli: That they took that moment, which apparently was the wrong moment to take a photo with her behind them and Didn't feel right to a lot of people around, didn't feel right to Miranda.
• 20:31
  Dayna Roselli: But if she would have said we've said this in the past hey, let's all feel this one, everyone sit down, put your phones down.
• 20:39
  Dayna Roselli: So I mean, maybe commanding needs to be more of what happens as well.
• 20:43
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 20:43
  Sean McAllister: I don't know and you know, obviously I know that there have been comments Online and in conversations that that we've had where people just say you know what?
• 20:54
  Sean McAllister: Read the room.
• 20:55
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, you know, if you are the only person standing in the entire theater, chances are you are disrupting somebody else's concert experience and you know it is a very self-centered thing to to say, well, this is my concert experience, I'm going to do whatever I want.
• 21:15
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, yeah, people are coming from.
• 21:17
  Dayna Roselli: It's interesting with Vegas.
• 21:19
  Dayna Roselli: People come from far.
• 21:20
  Dayna Roselli: They do they spend a lot on these tickets.
• 21:22
  Dayna Roselli: I also wonder if it's the price of tickets these days that is giving people more I Don't say power like they feel more legitimate, kind of more justified, to do whatever they want.
• 21:34
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, like I Traveled all the way here.
• 21:36
  Dayna Roselli: I spent seven hundred dollars.
• 21:38

  Dayna Roselli: So it's really no different.
• 21:51
  Dayna Roselli: That's what this fan look like.
• 21:52

  Dayna Roselli: So if you had a big party, you want to divvy it up.
• 26:31
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, see what happens, all right, well, also, on September 6th, it is National Read a Book Day and, sean, you and I were noticing that we went.
• 26:39
  Dayna Roselli: Wait a minute, we've got to talk about our friend's book because we've been meaning to a friend of ours.
• 26:44
  Dayna Roselli: Byron Lane has had two very successful books out over the last few years, and one more recently, but Byron was a reporter over at Channel 8 here in Las Vegas.
• 26:55
  Dayna Roselli: I worked with him back in the day.
• 26:57
  Dayna Roselli: Gosh, I don't even know what year that was, probably like 2005 2006.
• 27:02
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, byron was a great reporter for us on the morning show and he moved over to Los Angeles and he actually took a job in a newsroom there.
• 27:14
  Dayna Roselli: He's an excellent writer.
• 27:15
  Dayna Roselli: And then all of a sudden he unveiled that he's been writing a book and we were like what is this book about?
• 27:22
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, it's called A Star is Bored.
• 27:24
  Dayna Roselli: He actually ended up being an assistant to Carrie Fisher, and Carrie Fisher very famously played Princess Leia in Star Wars and wrote a book about his experience and it did really, really well.
• 27:38
  Dayna Roselli: It was about their friendship, about their working together, and now he's come out with another book.
• 27:44
  Dayna Roselli: So he just kept writing and he's really becoming quite the author.
• 27:49
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, he is.
• 27:49
  Sean McAllister: This book is called Big Gay Wedding, and this is a mix of comedy, romance, family drama and a really hilarious take.
• 27:59
  Sean McAllister: Byron is super witty and it comes across in his writing too, and this is another book that has just taken off.
• 28:08
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I love it.
• 28:09
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, they're talking about it all over the place, different morning shows nationally and the saying how funny it is, and sometimes you just want to sit down and just read a book where you can actually laugh out loud and kind of picture it in your head.
• 28:22
  Dayna Roselli: And I think that's what this book does.
• 28:24
  Dayna Roselli: You know, it takes place in a town that has never seen a Big Gay wedding before, so just imagine that.
• 28:30
  Dayna Roselli: I think it could be made into a movie.
• 28:33
  Sean McAllister: It should be made into a movie, absolutely.
• 28:36
  Dayna Roselli: Listen.
• 28:36
  Dayna Roselli: Kudos to Byron.

  Dayna Roselli: We want to give a shout out for one of our tips to Dig it Coffee in downtown Las Vegas.
• 29:18
  Dayna Roselli: Listen, they have some construction happening out front, shocker.
• 29:22
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, there's been a lot of construction happening.
• 29:24
  Dayna Roselli: And that's always difficult when you have a business and construction blocks your entrance, right.
• 29:29
  Dayna Roselli: So they're just kind of putting out a push of like hey, we're still here, come visit us.
• 29:33
  Dayna Roselli: And you know what they're fabulous to begin with.
• 29:35
  Dayna Roselli: They're right there on South Casino Center Boulevard it's actually 1300 South Casino Center Boulevard, dig it Coffee and they hire adults with disabilities.
• 29:45
  Dayna Roselli: So when you walk in the door you're gonna feel the love.
• 29:47
  Dayna Roselli: You're gonna just it's a joyous occasion on top of some good coffee.

• 30:09
  Sean McAllister: You know.
• 30:10
  Sean McAllister: Grab something on your way home from work to get through the evening too.
• 30:13
  Sean McAllister: So remember, dig it coffee in downtown Las Vegas, even if you have to park and take a few extra steps to get there.
• 30:21
  Dayna Roselli: It's worth it.
• 30:22
  Dayna Roselli: Please support them.
• 30:22
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, there's a lot of coffee shops popping up, so we wanted to mention this one because we know it's becoming more and more popular and people love to stop in and get coffee.
• 30:30
  Dayna Roselli: So it's dig it coffee co as in company dig it coffee cocom.
• 30:36
  Dayna Roselli: If you want to check them out and get more information about what they're doing over there, we support them.
• 30:41
  Dayna Roselli: Go check it out.
• 30:42
  Dayna Roselli: That's one of our Vegas tips this week.
• 30:44
  Sean McAllister: And they've got great coffee drinks and also some great snacks and cookies Good, really cute stuff.
• 30:49
  Sean McAllister: My tip of the week is it's called game on.
• 30:53
  Sean McAllister: Over at Boulder Station, which is on Boulder Highway on the east side of Las Vegas, they have just opened up a new sports bar called game on and I went over there and checked it out just this past week and it is a great spot for game day.
• 31:10
  Dayna Roselli: I love that.
• 31:11
  Dayna Roselli: And Boulder stations, you know, got some great things inside and I love that they added this into the mix because, like you said, sometimes when you want to watch a game or you want to go have something to eat, you don't want to travel to the strip.
• 31:23
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and you have 8000 square feet inside, tons of seating, a big bar.
• 31:30
  Sean McAllister: There's actually a bar, kind of like a walk up bar, at the very front where you can get like your frozen drinks and all that kind of stuff.
• 31:37
  Sean McAllister: Then a bigger bar in the in the back where I mean there are just more screens in that place.
• 31:44
  Sean McAllister: Cool, if I'm.
• 31:45
  Sean McAllister: I already know on Saturdays for college game day.
• 31:49
  Dayna Roselli: I'm going to be in there, okay.
• 31:51
  Sean McAllister: I mean, it's a great, great spot.
• 31:52
  Sean McAllister: The food was delicious and it's by the people who own and operate blondies.
• 31:58
  Sean McAllister: If you're familiar, that's a sports bar over at the Miracle Mile shops at Planet Hollywood.
• 32:04
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that's cool.
• 32:05
  Dayna Roselli: I mean listen the more of the better because, you know, for a while there sports started to become even more and more popular as far as live games in our town, I felt like people were finding places or needing places to watch sports more often and we need more sports bars, so in restaurants.
• 32:22
  Dayna Roselli: So I love this that they've added that on.
• 32:23
  Dayna Roselli: We've got a bunch of choices on the strip, some really close to the strip, and now we've got a bunch that we just mentioned today, literally two at one at Boulder Station and one of that's going to be at the Durango Resort Casino that are coming soon, places to watch the game and and I love because you know there's there's breaks, there's period breaks, there's half times there's all that, and there's stuff to do in between.
• 32:45
  Sean McAllister: There is and that's cool and and the my favorite place to go and watch games actually shut down during the pandemic and never opened up again.
• 32:54
  Sean McAllister: It was a it was a big chain but they kind of pulled out of Las Vegas and they're not even here anymore.
• 32:59
  Sean McAllister: So ever since that happened, we've been like well, what's the new game day spot going to be?
• 33:05
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah Well, there you go.
• 33:06
  Dayna Roselli: It's looking like it's game on, Game on.
