  Dayna Roselli: Oh my gosh.
• 1:26
  Dayna Roselli: See, and I was gonna say we were gonna start the podcast off much more level-headed and less silly this week uh because of the feedback that we got.
• 1:35
  Dayna Roselli: But anyway, um, yeah, Cisco Live.
• 1:37
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, this is another, we're gonna start with an inside joke.
• 1:40
  Dayna Roselli: Cisco Live, I saw Tom Brady's here to speak at Cisco Live, and I was like, what's Cisco Live?
• 1:45
  Dayna Roselli: I had never heard of it.
• 1:46
  Dayna Roselli: Went to their bio on Instagram, still didn't explain what it was.
• 1:49
  Dayna Roselli: Went to a bunch of reels on their things, didn't know what it was.
• 1:52
  Dayna Roselli: We're here at Cisco Live, Cisco Live.
• 1:54
  Dayna Roselli: And I didn't know what Cisco Live was, and I was like, this is a fail because your bio should say exactly what you are.
• 2:00
  Dayna Roselli: Some of these reels should say, and maybe it's like they think it's a given that everyone knows what Cisco Live is.
• 2:05
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 2:06
  Dayna Roselli: But I didn't know.
• 2:06
  Dayna Roselli: We dig further.
• 2:07
  Dayna Roselli: Tom Brady's speaking, Elton John is performing their main big event at Allegiant Stadium.
• 2:13
  Dayna Roselli: I'm like, what?
• 2:14
  Dayna Roselli: How did I not know about this Cisco Live?
• 2:16
  Sean McAllister: Well, you know who did know about it is the Google AI search.
• 2:19
  Dayna Roselli: It did.
• 2:20
  Sean McAllister: And they told us that Cisco Live is one of the biggest uh IT conventions that you can go to.
• 2:26
  Sean McAllister: Uh lots of information sharing and new product launches.
• 2:30
  Sean McAllister: So Cisco Live in town putting on a big show.
• 2:34
  Dayna Roselli: So welcome.
• 2:35
  Sean McAllister: Welcome.
• 2:35
  Sean McAllister: We love it.
• 2:36
  Dayna Roselli: It's not a live show with Cisco.
• 2:38
  Dayna Roselli: What does he sing?
• 2:39
  Dayna Roselli: What's his famous song?
• 2:41
  Sean McAllister: Uh it wasn't me?
• 2:43
  Sean McAllister: No.
• 2:44
  Dayna Roselli: No.
• 2:45
  unknown: Oh no.
• 2:46
  Dayna Roselli: Are we starting this show off?
• 2:48
  Dayna Roselli: We did not mean to start the show off like this.
• 2:50
  Dayna Roselli: This is ridiculous.
• 2:52
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, now I need to look up Cisco.
• 2:54
  Dayna Roselli: Hold on.
• 2:55
  Dayna Roselli: Cisco sings the thong song.
• 2:58
  Sean McAllister: The thong song.
• 2:58
  Sean McAllister: Oh my gosh, of course.
• 3:01
  Sean McAllister: Duh.
• 3:01
  Sean McAllister: Didn't Marie Osmond do some kind of collaboration with Cisco?
• 3:06
  Sean McAllister: I feel like she did.
• 3:09
  Sean McAllister: Oh my gosh.
• 3:11
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 3:12
  Sean McAllister: All right.
• 3:12
  Sean McAllister: Well, uh, welcome to the show.
• 3:14
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, welcome to the show.
• 3:15
  Dayna Roselli: Speaking of our silliness, last week, thanks for bearing with us.
• 3:18
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, we had a whole thing about parking that went in a couple different directions.
• 3:21
  Dayna Roselli: But we did get a note, a fan mail text, because you can text us.
• 3:25
  Dayna Roselli: We have a link in our notes.
• 3:26
  Dayna Roselli: Um, that uh this one came in from actually Wisconsin, and they said listening to your podcast on May 30th was great fun.
• 3:35
  Dayna Roselli: Thank you for the lighthearted talk about the parking at resorts world.
• 3:38
  Dayna Roselli: It made listening to the podcast so much more fun to listen to.
• 3:42
  Dayna Roselli: So I'm glad you liked it.
• 3:44
  Dayna Roselli: Then our subscriber and faithful supporter, Rob Lewis, wrote us too and said he uh he was catching up on the shows.
• 3:51
  Dayna Roselli: He had been swamped, but he said those first few six to ten minutes are gold about the directions.
• 3:59
  Dayna Roselli: Slapstick humor.
• 4:01
  Dayna Roselli: Don't edit the podcast from now on.
• 4:03
  Dayna Roselli: Keep it in.
• 4:04
  Dayna Roselli: So we're keeping it in.
• 4:06
  Sean McAllister: So it's in.
• 4:06
  Sean McAllister: It's all here.
• 4:07
  Dayna Roselli: It's all here.
• 4:09
  Sean McAllister: For the better or for the worse.
• 4:10
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 4:10
  Sean McAllister: And if you listen for if you're a longtime listener, you know that we're uh no stranger to going off on tangents and then trying to bring it back around at some point.
• 4:20
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 4:21
  Dayna Roselli: We're good at that.
• 4:22
  Dayna Roselli: But we do have a lot on the agenda today and a lot of good interviews and a lot of great topics.
• 4:27
  Dayna Roselli: So, but first I wanted to dive a little into J-Lo because you know there was so much chatter that J-Lo was gonna get a show here in Vegas and people were competing for where she was gonna perform, but all this J-Lo and Ben stuff, and then she canceled her tour, and I'm just now everyone's like the residency's definitely off.
• 4:45
  Dayna Roselli: So I don't know what's going on with that, but I am actually not a huge, huge J-Lo fan.
• 4:51
  Dayna Roselli: I liked her in the movie Selena.
• 4:53
  Sean McAllister: Okay, well, that was a minute ago.
• 4:55
  Dayna Roselli: But um, I don't mind her, I don't like or dislike.
• 4:59
  Dayna Roselli: It's like whatever.
• 5:00
  Dayna Roselli: But I was just thinking, gosh, the paparazzi has just been on them and her so much.
• 5:06
  Dayna Roselli: I almost, you know, when she had to cancel the tour, gosh, I really felt for her.
• 5:10
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, like this is a lot for anyone mentally.
• 5:14
  Sean McAllister: Well, it's a ton, and you know, because of the paparazzi and you know, tabloids and all that, there have been all these reports about, you know, personal stuff going on in addition to all of this professional career stuff that's going on.
• 5:32
  Sean McAllister: So I mean either one of those issues is a big thing for a person to handle.
• 5:38
  Sean McAllister: And when you have both going on, you know, seemingly at the same time, yeah, um that's a lot.
• 5:44
  Sean McAllister: I do.
• 5:45
  Sean McAllister: I feel bad for I feel bad for both of them.
• 5:47
  Sean McAllister: I know.
• 5:47
  Sean McAllister: Because I will say, when uh JLo did her Vegas residency over at Planet Hollywood, that was a phenomenal show.
• 5:59
  Sean McAllister: She is an incredible live performer, right?
• 6:02
  Sean McAllister: And so it bums me out that the that the tour was canceled because she does do an incredible job.
• 6:09
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 6:10
  Dayna Roselli: And somebody, and I don't know how legit it was, uh, it was because it was on Twitter, um, posted like the sales like for all the shows, and like they weren't awful.
• 6:21
  Dayna Roselli: They the the arenas weren't full, but they it wasn't horrible.
• 6:26
  Sean McAllister: But it's not like only 20 people were showing up, there were like thousand hundreds, thousands.
• 6:31
  Dayna Roselli: Like say it fit, I don't know, 17,000 in a in an arena or something, and like 13,000 were sold.
• 6:38
  Dayna Roselli: I was like, okay, I mean that's a good number.
• 6:40
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I don't know, but I don't know.
• 6:41
  Sean McAllister: We should look into that.
• 6:42
  Sean McAllister: See what uh see what like the bottom limit of capacity is before you have to be like this isn't working.
• 6:50
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 6:50
  Dayna Roselli: Well, she did say she had to focus a lot on on family and some personal things going on, and that might really just add to it.
• 6:56
  Dayna Roselli: Her mind just might not be there.
• 6:58
  Dayna Roselli: Her and Ben Affleck maybe aren't doing well, maybe the rumors are true and all that kind of thing.
• 7:03
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, they got married here in Vegas, so that's the connection.
• 7:06
  Dayna Roselli: So, you know, we they they right there at you know, a pop-up wedding at one of our little chapels.
• 7:13
  Dayna Roselli: So that made big news, and so we're pulling for them.
• 7:16
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, I mean, I'll admit Ben does look miserable.
• 7:22
  Dayna Roselli: But then again, I don't know how the only time I ever see Ben F like in a good mood is when he's around Matt Damon.
• 7:30
  Dayna Roselli: They're besties, and you know, their whole connection and their friendship is is great, and whenever they're together, they're always laughing and smiling.
• 7:37
  Dayna Roselli: And other than that, you know, Ben just looks over everything.
• 7:40
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 7:41
  Sean McAllister: Well, I hope that I hope that you know, if anything needs to be worked out, it does, it is.
• 7:47
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 7:47
  Sean McAllister: Um, and I would love to see Jennifer Lopez back here in Vegas.
• 7:51
  Sean McAllister: That would be I feel like she would even be a great performer for like Voltaire.
• 7:56
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, she was there.
• 7:56
  Sean McAllister: Over at Venetian, that's an intimate kind of a theater where she'd be right up close and that would be amazing.
• 8:04
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know, like I can't remember, I don't think I ever saw her show at Planet Hollywood.
• 8:08
  Dayna Roselli: I saw her perform at the Caesar Caesars did a uh Oh, their 50th anniversary.
• 8:15
  Dayna Roselli: But it does she interact with the crowd or did she just stick to dancing and performing and singing?
• 8:20
  Sean McAllister: Uh there wasn't a ton of interaction, but she would like she would have conversation between so uh certain songs.
• 8:29
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, because I feel like you need to have a little bit of that in order to be at Voltaire.
• 8:34
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, that is true.
• 8:35
  Dayna Roselli: To interact with the crowd and you know, have a little fun with them and stuff like that, but I'm not sure.
• 8:40
  Dayna Roselli: You know, she gets a bad rap, people say, you know, she's not the best tipper and all sorts of stuff.
• 8:45
  Dayna Roselli: It goes in a million directions.
• 8:46
  Dayna Roselli: You don't know what to believe.
• 8:47
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 8:48
  Sean McAllister: Well, we wish her and them and everyone the best.
• 8:52
  Sean McAllister: Yes, don't we?
• 8:53
  Dayna Roselli: Always for everyone, right?
• 8:55
  Sean McAllister: We do.
• 8:56
  Dayna Roselli: I love this video that has gone around of Ringo.
• 8:59
  Dayna Roselli: Actually, Cirque du Soleil sent it out, which was wonderful because we were able to spread it around.
• 9:03
  Dayna Roselli: But Ringo visiting the cast of and the show The Beatles Love, you know, which show that's Cirque du Soleil show that's based off the life of the Beatles.
• 9:13
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I love that he went.
• 9:14
  Dayna Roselli: I love that he visited backstage and that we were able to see that moment.
• 9:17
  Dayna Roselli: That was great.
• 9:18
  Sean McAllister: It's so cool.
• 9:19
  Sean McAllister: And as the show is getting ready to uh do its last performance, the beginning of July, because they're housed over at the Mirage, which is uh closing down, turning into the the hard rock.
• 9:31
  Sean McAllister: Um it is, it's sad.
• 9:32
  Sean McAllister: There's been so many great memories of uh of the show and seeing I mean I remember when you know Paul McCartney and Ringo and um you know all of them were here for the fifth anniversary of the Beatles Love.
• 9:49
  Sean McAllister: It was great.
• 9:50
  Sean McAllister: So it is, I love it that Ringo came back.
• 9:53
  Sean McAllister: His all-star band was performing over at the Venetian, right?
• 9:56
  Sean McAllister: So while they were in town, Ringo was like, hey, let's pop on over.
• 10:01
  Sean McAllister: And he he was like enamored with the the kids because there are kids who are a part of the cast, and he was like, Oh, the kids, I love them.
• 10:11
  Dayna Roselli: They really are fantastic in that show, and it's so interesting to see, you know.
• 10:15
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that was great.
• 10:16
  Dayna Roselli: I'm glad that he went over to see it again.
• 10:17
  Dayna Roselli: I think he'd said he'd seen it multiple times, but saw it again, and it was just as good, and he loved it.
• 10:22
  Dayna Roselli: And it's a nice treat for them.
• 10:24
  Dayna Roselli: Also, Celine Dion went to the show and she went backstage too.
• 10:27
  Dayna Roselli: Lots of clips of that going around.
• 10:29
  Dayna Roselli: I love that.
• 10:30
  Dayna Roselli: So, I mean, these big, you know, people are going to see love because it is such an iconic show.
• 10:35
  Dayna Roselli: I've never heard anyone say a bad thing about love.
• 10:37
  Dayna Roselli: Everyone enjoys it, everyone's seen it multiple times.
• 10:40
  Sean McAllister: Well, and when it's the music of the Beatles, you can't go wrong.
• 10:44
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 10:44
  Sean McAllister: I mean, that soundtrack is incredible.
• 10:47
  Sean McAllister: I think you can actually buy the buy the soundtrack and download it.
• 10:50
  Dayna Roselli: And it's like when you go to choose songs, even on Instagram, the Beatles Love soundtrack comes up.
• 10:55
  Dayna Roselli: So they do have a whole you know album out.
• 10:58
  Dayna Roselli: But um something that keeps getting repeated, and I notice like whenever on Twitter I post something about love, either it's closing or a clip from someone visiting, a lot of responses come in that say, I can't believe that the hard rock, which is based on rock and roll, didn't isn't keeping Beatles love.
• 11:19
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 11:20
  Dayna Roselli: Or that someone else isn't picking them up.
• 11:22
  Dayna Roselli: But just FYI, like we don't know the reason.
• 11:24
  Dayna Roselli: It could be a Cirque de Soleil reason to just, you know, it's done its run.
• 11:28
  Dayna Roselli: It's gonna the Mirage is closing for three years, it's time to do something new.
• 11:32
  Dayna Roselli: We don't exactly know whose decision it is to end the show, right?
• 11:35
  Dayna Roselli: So it could be a group decision, it could be, we don't know, maybe in three years it will open up again, even though most likely they say it's done, but you never know what could change, and you don't know if someone else would pick it up, but maybe they just feel it's done its run.
• 11:51
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it it would be a good fit though.
• 11:53
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it would be.
• 11:54
  Sean McAllister: Um, but it was great to see all these videos of Celine with the cast, and you know, she was singing to them.
• 12:00
  Sean McAllister: She it was almost like she was.
• 12:02
  Sean McAllister: I I think somebody turned her music on, and so she did a little private concert for him, singing to the cast.
• 12:08
  Sean McAllister: But she looked phenomenal.
• 12:09
  Dayna Roselli: She did.
• 12:10
  Sean McAllister: And I'm so glad to see her out and about after you know this health struggle that she's been dealing with.
• 12:17
  Sean McAllister: And by the way, her uh documentary, I am Celine Dion, uh comes out on June 25th.
• 12:25
  Sean McAllister: Um so that's gonna be That'll be good.
• 12:28
  Sean McAllister: Good to see.
• 12:29
  Dayna Roselli: Well, and that's the thing.
• 12:29
  Dayna Roselli: I think uh for that to come out, she knows she has to do promotion as well.
• 12:33
  Dayna Roselli: And I think uh, you know, deciding on when it's gonna come out, I'm assuming she picked a time where she was ready to do this, to promote, do interviews, you know, and feels up to it.
• 12:45
  Dayna Roselli: So it's good to know that now is the time.
• 12:48
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, by the way, uh switching gears a little bit, you know, we told you about the free fireworks in downtown Las Vegas every Friday at the plaza downtown at 9 15.
• 12:58
  Dayna Roselli: It's already kicked off.
• 12:59
  Dayna Roselli: It kicked off Memorial Day weekend.
• 13:01
  Dayna Roselli: People are loving it.
• 13:03
  Dayna Roselli: The other day, Sean, I was driving home on a Friday night.
• 13:06
  Dayna Roselli: I know, hot, you know, exciting night out.
• 13:08
  Dayna Roselli: I went to Hotworks to do like yoga, but it was late.
• 13:11
  Dayna Roselli: I go, I work out late at night.
• 13:13
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but anyway, I was driving home and all of a sudden I saw I was driving east on the 95.
• 13:18
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, and I saw the fireworks, and I was like, oh, it's 9.15, it's the plaza fireworks.
• 13:23
  Dayna Roselli: But that whole stretch of 95, you know, is pretty long.
• 13:26
  Dayna Roselli: You just kind of roll east, you know, just heading east.
• 13:29
  Dayna Roselli: And I got to see the show from the highway, just FYI.
• 13:32
  Dayna Roselli: It's a perfect spot.
• 13:34
  Sean McAllister: But we're not recommending going out driving and looking at fireworks.
• 13:39
  Dayna Roselli: No, but you could if you got kids or something and you want to drive and pay attention to the road while they look up at the fireworks, because it could be you know, get them all in the van.
• 13:48
  Dayna Roselli: And but um, you know, and it wasn't my eyes weren't off the road because you can still see them in the distance.
• 13:55
  Dayna Roselli: But but yes, we don't wanna I don't want to hear like don't come suing me when you go watch the 90 fireworks and the 95 and you swerve off the road or something.
• 14:05
  Sean McAllister: I'm not telling you to do that, but they are visible, they are visible because they're up in the sky over downtown Las Vegas.
• 14:11
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, I was just like, wow, it made our city look so iconic.
• 14:15
  Sean McAllister: I mean, it's pretty cool that they're doing that.
• 14:17
  Dayna Roselli: It is every Friday at 9 15, big block party.
• 14:20
  Dayna Roselli: I love the whole thing.
• 14:21
  Dayna Roselli: We were asked to actually uh well not set off the fireworks, but hit the button.
• 14:25
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, they have a big plunger that ceremonially uh launches the the fireworks, right?
• 14:31
  Dayna Roselli: We were asked to do that, um, and we couldn't because oh, because we're gonna be out of town.
• 14:35
  Dayna Roselli: So hopefully sometime before the summer is up, we'll be able to do that.
• 14:40
  Sean McAllister: I hope so.
• 14:40
  Sean McAllister: That would be fun.
• 14:41
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and we'll let everyone know so that y'all come down and say hello.
• 14:45
  Sean McAllister: Uh sticking in downtown Las Vegas, the El Cortez is the oldest operating hotel casino in Las Vegas.

• 15:54
  SPEAKER_01: You have to take care of your customers and you uh you just gotta make the place better.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_01: And and how we're making it better, we're we're still keeping the same uh sort of, I don't know how to say it, time warp as when the place was, how it started, and we're just keeping that same feeling, but upgrading everything.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_01: If we made this place modern, uh we'd just be another another place.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_01: We gotta keep the same feeling.
• 16:19
  Dayna Roselli: Is there anything that we need to walk around and see?
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you know, it's it's sort of strange to be proud of a place that you can walk upstairs to go to your room.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_01: But that's it.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_01: It's like the old cowboy movies, you know, when they had the balcony and the guy fell off the balcony.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_01: We've got that.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_01: We've got 47 original rooms built in 1941.

• 18:00
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, absolutely, absolutely.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_01: But I'm sure so glad that uh they're building new hotels here because the more hotels they build in Las Vegas, the better it is for Las Vegas and the better it is for us.

• 25:41
  Dayna Roselli: You know, Fantasy is such a long time running show over at the Luxor.
• 25:46
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, almost 25 years continually performing here on the Las Vegas Strip over at Luxor.
• 25:54
  Sean McAllister: But if you've never experienced Fantasy, it has been around for so long.

  Sean McAllister: And we spoke with the creator and choreographer, Anita Mann, about this show that really doesn't stop evolving.
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_02: We do the show to please the people, and that's what I think keeps us going because every year we change it, and every year we say, What would make it better?
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_02: So we just keep doing our job and making it stronger, and I have an incredible support system here at the Luxor.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_02: The entire team here.

• 26:54
  SPEAKER_02: It's it's not a it's an entertaining variety show because the most important thing is we want them to feel like they've gotten to know the ladies and that they're familiar with them, and that they're approachable, and they are really connecting to a Las Vegas performer on the strip in a very up close and personal way.
• 27:14
  SPEAKER_02: And that's what I really want to do is let them experience a show, but also see that they're really wonderful people behind that mask or behind the scenes right now on stage as well.

  Sean McAllister: You know, Vegas is known kind of as the the place of excess.
• 29:29
  Sean McAllister: We have everything here, right?
• 29:31
  Sean McAllister: And I think there's kind of also uh an idea that there's a lot of waste going on here, too, but there's also a lot of work going on to make sure that waste isn't happening.
• 29:44
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so we wanted to do a big shout out to MGM Resorts for donating so much food to families in need.
• 29:50
  Dayna Roselli: They actually just hit five million meals.
• 29:54
  Dayna Roselli: They surpassed the goal of donating five million meals into communities uh where they do have casinos across the country early.
• 30:03
  Dayna Roselli: So they had expected to achieve this goal in 2025, but they've hit it already.
• 30:08
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, they have.
• 30:09
  Sean McAllister: So um they're you know, freezing a lot of the meals that are made for banquets and uh conventions, and we're talking about the food that's like untouched, that's been prepared and not served.
• 30:23
  Sean McAllister: Um, so they freeze that and they donate it out into the community to various organizations, including uh Three Square Food Bank here in southern Nevada that does so much to help people with food insecurity.
• 30:36
  Sean McAllister: So this is uh a great achievement and it's a great initiative.
• 30:41
  Dayna Roselli: It is, and a lot of times I think you often hear people saying, like, what do they do with all this food?
• 30:46

• 30:47
  Dayna Roselli: You know what I mean?
• 30:47
  Dayna Roselli: Well, now you know.

  Sean McAllister: Did you have one?
• 31:13
  Dayna Roselli: I don't remember if I had one, but I know I definitely played with one.
• 31:16
  Dayna Roselli: Like I don't know if it's at friends' houses or whatever.
• 31:19
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know if I owned one, but I definitely know what it is, whether we did it in school or friends, and it was fun.
• 31:25
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it was.
• 31:25
  Sean McAllister: It was a huge toy back in like the 70s, 80s.
• 31:29
  Sean McAllister: Um, and now you can actually experience Light Bright in a larger-than-life way over at Illuminarium.
• 31:37
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and Illuminarium is at Area 15, which is such a cool place.
• 31:41
  Dayna Roselli: If you visit here, it's really close to the strip, just to the west of I-15 in the strip.
• 31:46
  Dayna Roselli: So you gotta get there.
• 31:47
  Dayna Roselli: Illuminarium is one of the spots there.
• 31:50
  Dayna Roselli: They have so many cool things going on all the time.
• 31:53
  Dayna Roselli: This is gonna keep you cool all summer, though, because you walk in, it's nice and cool.
• 31:57
  Dayna Roselli: We talked to the general manager about this new experience.
• 32:00
  SPEAKER_00: We're excited to introduce Light Bright Worlds of Wonder.
• 32:03
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, it's a great show that reaches across so many different generations, whether you grew up with the the product in the 80s with the iconic toy in the 80s or 70s, even, uh, and now to today where the light bright actually can fit in the palm of your hand.
• 32:16
  SPEAKER_00: So it's uh a great show for mom and dad, grandma and grandpa, or even the the kids getting out of school now.
• 32:23
  Dayna Roselli: So um tell me a little bit about what people will experience.
• 32:26
  Dayna Roselli: Walk me through that.
• 32:27
  SPEAKER_00: So they'll get to come in and they'll get to see our first experience that sets you up with the whole story of Light Bright and the world of wonder that we bring you into.

  SPEAKER_00: Uh, an underwater, undersea theme, an out of s out of space theme, as well as a prehistoric realm where you get to experience dinosaurs and a lot of interactive elements there too.
• 32:50
  SPEAKER_00: So there's 12 different interactive scenes where things will happen and you can interact with them and they'll interact with you.
• 32:56
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, you'll be able to use your phone at certain times to create artwork and bring it to life on the screen and it'll move around the room.
• 33:02
  SPEAKER_00: So a lot of unique things like that with the technology.
• 33:05
  Dayna Roselli: And it's important, you know, Las Vegas is known for so many things casinos, the strip, but to have the the opportunity to have something like this for folks that live here and visitors.
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it's great for families.
• 33:16
  SPEAKER_00: Again, trying to find Las Vegas is known to for its gambling and entertainment.
• 33:21
  SPEAKER_00: It tends to be more adults, so we like the family image and making sure that there's something for both visitors as well as our local community that can bring out uh the family together and experience this this show together.
• 33:32
  Dayna Roselli: You can see Light Bright World of Wonder over at Illuminarium, 11 a.m.
• 33:36
  Dayna Roselli: to 4 p.m.
• 33:37
  Dayna Roselli: daily.
• 33:38
  Sean McAllister: And here's a couple other quick tips for you.
• 33:40
  Sean McAllister: Um, Resorts World is still doing its 20% off um at a lot of its restaurants if you have a Nevada ID.
• 33:48
  Sean McAllister: So this is for all the Las Vegas locals.
• 33:51
  Sean McAllister: If you go over to Resorts World, um, this is kind of a promotion that they've been running for a few months now and they've extended it.
• 33:59
  Sean McAllister: Um, it's good Sunday through Thursday.
• 34:03
  Sean McAllister: Uh Carver Steak and Aqua are not a part of the 20% promotion.
• 34:09
  Sean McAllister: Um, but there's a ton of other restaurants that are.
• 34:12
  Sean McAllister: A lot.
• 34:12
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, they have so many restaurants over there, right?
• 34:15
  Dayna Roselli: And I guess Nevada ID.
• 34:16
  Dayna Roselli: So if you're coming in from Reno, Elko, yeah, true, right?
• 34:20
  Dayna Roselli: You can get the discount too if you're coming in for a staycation or whatever.
• 34:23
  Dayna Roselli: So 20% off at all the restaurants besides Carver Steak and Aqua Sundays through Thursdays for the month of June.
• 34:31
  Sean McAllister: Also, looking ahead, uh, we have Fourth of July weekend already coming up.
• 34:36
  Sean McAllister: Isn't that crazy?
• 34:38
  Dayna Roselli: It's crazy.
• 34:39
  Dayna Roselli: We just got to June, but it flies by.
• 34:41
  Sean McAllister: It does.
• 34:42
  Sean McAllister: Uh, but that means there's gonna be a ton of fireworks, and some of the best fireworks that we see around the valley are set off by station casinos.
• 34:51
  Dayna Roselli: They do a great job every year, and they've just put out a release saying, hey, we're doing it again.
• 34:56
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, three casinos now have fireworks Durango, Red Rock, and Green Valley Ranch.
• 35:01
  Dayna Roselli: They're all doing Fourth of July fireworks.
• 35:03
  Dayna Roselli: So, FYI, if you want to start making your plans, pick your spot.
• 35:07
  Dayna Roselli: They will have fireworks that night.
• 35:10
  Sean McAllister: Thanks so much for joining us, and we'd like to give a big thank you to our sponsor, Vegas Near Me.

• 35:20
  Sean McAllister: It is a wealth of information about all things to do and see and experience here in Las Vegas.
• 35:30
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and not only that, it's very accurate.
• 35:32
  Sean McAllister: It is very accurate.
• 35:33
  Sean McAllister: We just found that out the other day when we went over to uh Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club.
• 35:39
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, because I I just put in like I don't need directions to get to Jimmy Kimmel's comedy club, but I wanted to know the fastest route because traffic's such a mess here.
• 35:46
  Dayna Roselli: So I was like, okay, which way is it gonna pick for me to get there from my place?
• 35:50
  Dayna Roselli: So I popped it in and it was a Monday, and it said Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club is closed.
• 35:54
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm like, no, it's not.
• 35:55
  Dayna Roselli: We're going to interview Josh.

  Dayna Roselli: And I already know Lunel has a show on Monday nights.
• 36:00
  Dayna Roselli: So then I went in Vegas near me and you know it showed that it was open.
• 36:04
  Dayna Roselli: They're very adamant about putting accurate hours and days in there.
• 36:08
  Dayna Roselli: They're constantly updating the app.
• 36:09
  Dayna Roselli: So keep that in mind.
• 36:11
  Dayna Roselli: That was just from the map app on my iPhone, the one that it comes with, you know, right.
• 36:17
  Sean McAllister: And actually, when when you pulled up Vegas near me, you were like, okay, these times are all right, and they actually give you the runtime of the show that you're going to also.

• 36:33
  Dayna Roselli: And I know that they pride themselves on that.
• 36:35
  Dayna Roselli: You know, it's still in kind of the liftoff phase, I should say, because they're constantly working to just input that information, make sure that it's the best app you could possibly have if you're in Las Vegas.
• 36:49
  Dayna Roselli: So download Vegas near me.
