• 3:03
  Dayna Roselli: Um they're doing them all around, but this is the first here in Las Vegas, and it's an exclusive experience that actually is like a daily thing now all summer at the Fountain Blue, and it's a certain area of the pool that has the famous, like, you know, white and yellowish-orangish stripes.
• 3:23
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know what color you'd call that.
• 3:25
  Sean McAllister: It's like the Vouve, the Vouve yellow.

• 3:30
  Dayna Roselli: And it uh it's just a beautiful little area.
• 3:32

• 3:38
  Dayna Roselli: Um, they have like the uh Chase Lounges and cabanas, and they have uh menus that are a little bit more elevated over there at the Sun Club.
• 3:46
  Dayna Roselli: They have an exclusive pairing menu if you want to have some VUV with your you know meal.
• 3:52
  Dayna Roselli: And it's open daily, like I said.

  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and you don't have to be a visitor at the property, or you don't need to be staying at Fountain Blue to go there.
• 4:12
  Dayna Roselli: So FYI, you can book online and make your reservation.
• 4:15
  Sean McAllister: Great.
• 4:16
  Sean McAllister: I love summer pop-up clubs like that.
• 4:18
  Sean McAllister: And it's so funny, after you went, and I know we were talking uh, you know, between us all about the sun club over there at Fountain Blue.
• 4:27
  Sean McAllister: I started getting other sun clubs popping up in my Instagram algorithm.
• 4:32
  Dayna Roselli: And they don't compare, right?
• 4:34
  Sean McAllister: No, I mean there was one in Cabo, okay, and it was like out on the beach, but it definitely wasn't as pretty as Fountain Blue.
• 4:43
  Dayna Roselli: This was so nice.
• 4:44
  Dayna Roselli: They have a fountain in there, bar.
• 4:46
  Dayna Roselli: Uh it's just yeah, a nice experience if you want a little elevated pool experience and a little bit more chill.
• 4:52
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 4:52
  Dayna Roselli: You know what I mean?
• 4:53
  Dayna Roselli: It's nice.
• 4:54
  Dayna Roselli: It did, it looks beautiful.
• 4:55
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, you're not ready for the whole big old pool party, you know?
• 4:59
  Sean McAllister: I know I'm I'm never ready for the big old pool party.
• 5:03
  Sean McAllister: Hey, we wanted to let you know about uh a big renovation happening at the Casablanca Resort.
• 5:09
  Sean McAllister: Uh that's in Mesquite.
• 5:11
  Sean McAllister: That's about 90 minutes north of Las Vegas, just off the I-15.
• 5:15
  Sean McAllister: You see Casablanca there on the right, if you're driving north.
• 5:19
  Sean McAllister: Um, and they have this multi-million dollar upgrade happening across the property.
• 5:25
  Sean McAllister: This is touching everything from the casino floor to the guest rooms to the showroom, the dining areas.
• 5:32
  Sean McAllister: They have two new restaurants that are opening over there this summer as well.
• 5:37
  Sean McAllister: And this all marks the 30th anniversary of the Casablanca Resort.
• 5:42
  Sean McAllister: Uh, and you know, they always say it's like Vegas used to be.
• 5:45
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 5:46
  Dayna Roselli: Uh but their commercial slogan?
• 5:48
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 5:48
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my god, I love it.
• 5:49
  Dayna Roselli: See, it sticks in your brain.
• 5:51
  Sean McAllister: It does.
• 5:51
  Dayna Roselli: It's a good slogan.
• 5:52
  Sean McAllister: It does.
• 5:53
  Sean McAllister: But it's great to see that after 30 years, they're reinvesting in the property, bringing in a new age, moving it forward with all new stuff.
• 6:02
  Sean McAllister: And we love to see that.
• 6:03
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and it's a good, you know, 90 minutes north of Las Vegas, right off the I-15, a straight shot.
• 6:09
  Dayna Roselli: I went up to the Hot Air Balloon Festival up there, I think a couple years ago.
• 6:12
  Dayna Roselli: And, you know, it's an easy, easy drive.
• 6:15
  Dayna Roselli: And people do like to go there for a quick little, you know, road trip staycation or a stop off on the way to somewhere else.
• 6:22
  Dayna Roselli: They also do have um chargers for electric cars.
• 6:26
  Dayna Roselli: So a lot of people charge up the car, go in for some dinner or some breakfast.
• 6:30
  Dayna Roselli: Um, when I was there, they were saying that some nights they have like this, I don't know, anyway, the they have this like lounge area and they're like, oh, the dance floor is like full every night or you know, on the weekends or whatever.
• 6:41
  Dayna Roselli: And they people like to party there.
• 6:43
  Dayna Roselli: So it's it's a good time and easy to get to.
• 6:46
  Dayna Roselli: So we're glad that they are, like you said, investing in the property and you know, making some changes up there and happy 30th anniversary.
• 6:54
  Sean McAllister: We look forward to going to see those renovations over there at Casablanca.
• 6:59
  Sean McAllister: Uh, meantime, back on the strip, Adam Sandler is coming back to town for his fall 2025 arena tour, and that's making a stop at the Blue Live Theater over there at Fountain Blue.
• 7:11
  Dayna Roselli: I love the name of it too.
• 7:12
  Dayna Roselli: You're my best friend tour.
• 7:13
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, that's so Adam Sandler, isn't it?
• 7:16
  Dayna Roselli: It is.
• 7:16
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, I just love Adam Sandler.
• 7:19
  Dayna Roselli: He is a character.
• 7:20
  Dayna Roselli: Whenever people show clips of him on social media where they stop him on the side of the road, like walking through Hollywood or LA and his, you know, his outfit that's like mismatched, and he just doesn't care.
• 7:31
  Dayna Roselli: And then what award show was he at recently?
• 7:34
  Dayna Roselli: And he didn't really dress up as you know, as nice as he should have.
• 7:37
  Dayna Roselli: They were giving him a hard time.
• 7:39
  Dayna Roselli: He was laughing.
• 7:40
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, he's just like a regular dude.
• 7:42
  Sean McAllister: Um well, and then he did his chalomet.
• 7:45
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my gosh, the Tillamy Chalomet, Timothy Chalomet.
• 7:48
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, he's great, and his movies are great.
• 7:50
  Dayna Roselli: I watch him in, you know, sometimes I watch like an old movie and Adam Sandler's in it, and I'm like, you know, he is so good.
• 7:56
  Dayna Roselli: He can do the serious, he can do the funny.
• 7:58
  Sean McAllister: He can.
• 7:59
  Dayna Roselli: He does it all.
• 8:00
  Dayna Roselli: Really.
• 8:01
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, he's a great guy.
• 8:02
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, I've never seen him do stand-up.
• 8:04
  Dayna Roselli: I'm excited for this.
• 8:05
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, you know what?
• 8:06
  Sean McAllister: I have never been to one of his stand-up shows either.
• 8:08
  Dayna Roselli: No.
• 8:09
  Dayna Roselli: So he's here on Halloween, actually, October 31st and uh November 1st.
• 8:13
  Dayna Roselli: So two nights over there at the Fountain Blue tickets are on sale now.
• 8:16
  Dayna Roselli: So if you want to see Adam Sandler, go get your tickets.
• 8:20
  Sean McAllister: That should be a good one.
• 8:22
  Sean McAllister: And hey, there are some changes happening over at the Venetian resort that we wanted to let you know about.
• 8:27
  Sean McAllister: One of them, you have to stay tuned uh for our tips coming up in just a few minutes.
• 8:32
  Sean McAllister: But first, Electra Cocktail Club, uh, which was a popular lounge over there right off the casino floor, uh, it is temporarily closed and they're doing a full transformation inside.
• 8:45
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that'll be cool.
• 8:47
  Dayna Roselli: You know, you look at it and you're like, doesn't need a refresh.
• 8:50
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 8:50
  Sean McAllister: It was already beautiful.
• 8:52
  Dayna Roselli: But that's Vegas for you, right?
• 8:53
  Dayna Roselli: Uh so it's undergoing, yeah, this interior refresh and concept relaunch.
• 8:57
  Dayna Roselli: And so don't worry, it'll be back.
• 8:59
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but over there at the Venetian, if you're used to seeing the Electra Cocktail Club coming alive and a spot that you usually go to, just FYI, it's closed for a full transformation and it will open back up at some point soon.
• 9:14
  Sean McAllister: And hey, Dana, we didn't plan on talking about this, but I just went and saw uh the new F1 movie with Brad Pitt.
• 9:20
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 9:20
  Sean McAllister: And it is so good.
• 9:23
  Sean McAllister: You loved it.
• 9:24
  Sean McAllister: I loved it.
• 9:26
  Sean McAllister: So we've been to the race for a couple years in a row now.
• 9:30
  Sean McAllister: Uh, and one of the things that we enjoyed about being actual spectators at the race is they set up screens around the track so you can hear the actual uh commentary from the announcers, which is different from and we've talked about this in the past.
• 9:46
  Sean McAllister: It's different and it lets you uh stay up to date on what's happening around the track.
• 9:50
  Sean McAllister: I like that.
• 9:51
  Sean McAllister: Well, you get the same vibe when you're watching this movie too.
• 9:55
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 9:56
  Sean McAllister: And there's a lot of racing action in there.
• 9:59
  Sean McAllister: The storyline, there's obviously a storyline in there, but it's not like heavy-handed.
• 10:04
  Sean McAllister: It doesn't take away from F1, which is what the movie's all about.
• 10:10
  Sean McAllister: But I feel like even for uh people who aren't already fans of F1, this gives them a great idea of what the experience of F1 is like.
• 10:21
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I mean it's a great PR for the race, right?
• 10:24
  Dayna Roselli: Because I do follow some funny woman on Instagram that like she watches things and has her own little side commentary.
• 10:32
  Dayna Roselli: And she was saying this F1 movie, I knew nothing about F1 before, but I am intrigued, and now I kind of want to follow it.
• 10:39
  Dayna Roselli: And I thought, ooh, this is great for people, like you said, who didn't follow F1, hear so much about it, don't know much about it, or want to learn more.
• 10:48
  Dayna Roselli: And a lot of scenes shot in Las Vegas, so maybe this will help bring lots of people to Vegas for F1.
• 10:55
  Sean McAllister: And you get some really good insights like from the driver's perspective and for like the strategy for the racing teams.
• 11:03
  Sean McAllister: Because you know, some teams have you know two drivers out on the course at the same time, they have two different cars racing, and like one car, like maybe their strategy is to cause a little chaos on the on the course, right?
• 11:17
  Sean McAllister: What so that the other teammate can go ahead and do well and play.
• 11:22
  Sean McAllister: So I had never I didn't get that aspect of F1 before going to see the movie.
• 11:29
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, because I think when you're watching a race, if you're there live, it is nice to know a little bit, you know, like stuff like that.
• 11:35
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 11:36
  Dayna Roselli: Makes it more entertaining and you get a little bit more strategic and all that kind of thing.
• 11:40
  Dayna Roselli: So I love that.
• 11:41
  Dayna Roselli: I'm glad the movie's doing well.
• 11:42
  Dayna Roselli: People seem to really love it.
• 11:44
  Dayna Roselli: It looks like it was beautifully shot, filmed, was it?
• 11:46
  Sean McAllister: Oh, it was incredible.
• 11:48
  Sean McAllister: And the Vegas shots are amazing.
• 11:51
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, we just look good on in any movie.
• 11:53
  Sean McAllister: It did, it looked great.
• 11:54
  Sean McAllister: And right at the the turn where we were sitting last year, right there around the sphere.
• 12:00
  Sean McAllister: They there were some beautiful shots of that turn on our Las Vegas circuit.
• 12:06
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 12:06
  Sean McAllister: So it was fun to see that and be like, oh my gosh.
• 12:09
  Sean McAllister: I sat right there.
• 12:11
  Dayna Roselli: Right, right.
• 12:12
  Dayna Roselli: It's so funny how long.
• 12:13
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it seems like yesterday, but I remember when Brad Pitt was in town for the first Formula One race and shooting scenes here, and it's like, God, what has it been like a year and a half?
• 12:21
  Dayna Roselli: Like things take a while to actually, you know, finish up, get edited, get released, and all that.
• 12:28
  Dayna Roselli: And now we're finally getting to see this movie.
• 12:30
  Dayna Roselli: It's about two and a half hours long, though, right?
• 12:32
  Sean McAllister: It is, but it didn't feel like it.
• 12:33
  Sean McAllister: That's good.
• 12:34
  Sean McAllister: It didn't feel long to me.
• 12:36
  Sean McAllister: I was like, I was invested the whole way through, which was good.
• 12:39
  Sean McAllister: Okay.
• 12:40
  Sean McAllister: A lot of action.
• 12:41
  Sean McAllister: So just wanted to mention that.
• 12:42
  Sean McAllister: And by the way, uh the F1 experience over at the F1 headquarters here in Las Vegas is now open on actual F1 race days when there's races happening in other parts of the world.
• 12:55
  Sean McAllister: Um, a lot of times they'll show them in one of the lounges over there.
• 12:59
  Sean McAllister: So that's a good place to keep in mind if you are a race fan.
• 13:03
  Sean McAllister: That's cool.
• 13:04
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, um, let's talk staycations real quick.
• 13:06
  Dayna Roselli: We did this as a tip recently.
• 13:08
  Dayna Roselli: Scroll down to the bottom of our page, and we've got a blog post on there with all the locals' deals happening around Las Vegas.
• 13:15
  Dayna Roselli: Or there are tons of deals, too many to mention.
• 13:18
  Dayna Roselli: I just got a text from the Sahara the other day when it said, like, you know, locals that book a stacation enjoy no resort fees and casino promos and a chance to win a free cruise and all sorts of stuff.
• 13:28
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and it just reminded me.
• 13:30
  Dayna Roselli: Then I also got an email from uh Resorts World just today, reminding us that July 1st to the 31st, they're doing 20% off all the dining outlets, um, Sunday through Thursdays with a Nevada ID.
• 13:44
  Dayna Roselli: So there's so many different, you know, promos going on.
• 13:48
  Dayna Roselli: You said you saw a couple ticket deals.
• 13:50
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, there were ticket deals uh for some of the shows at Caesars properties that were like 40% off tickets for locals.
• 13:58
  Sean McAllister: So good.
• 13:59
  Sean McAllister: If you live in Las Vegas, this is the summer to take advantage of everything on the strip that you may not normally think about going to because the price is right.
• 14:10
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, the price is definitely right.
• 14:12
  Dayna Roselli: Well, that's kind of a tip, but let's get to our real tips now.
• 14:20
  Sean McAllister: So Dana, uh last week on Vegas Revealed, we talked about weenies and bikinis.
• 14:24
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 14:25
  Dayna Roselli: The hot dog eating contest at Cirque.
• 14:28
  Dayna Roselli: Circa.

• 14:32
  Dayna Roselli: Um, the name, the creative names that they come up with over there at Circa and Stadium Swim.
• 14:37
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, we talked about the hot dog eating contest.
• 14:40
  Dayna Roselli: And now we find out there's a wing eating contest, a wing-off happening at the plaza.
• 14:46
  Dayna Roselli: So we like food eating contests lately.

  Sean McAllister: And so the qualifying event for this wing eating contest is happening on July 4th.
• 14:55
  Sean McAllister: However, the main event is coming back on February 7th, once again over at Plaza.
• 15:03

  Dayna Roselli: It's called Wing Bowl, and and they're calling it iconic.
• 15:16
  Dayna Roselli: It's the premier chicken wing eating competition that was founded in Philadelphia in 1993.

  Sean McAllister: And that is right there at the uh carousel bar.

  Sean McAllister: So there's lots of foot traffic around there.
• 16:13
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that'll be fun.
• 16:14
  Sean McAllister: And that will.
• 16:14
  Sean McAllister: That'll be a good environment down there.
• 16:18
  Dayna Roselli: Well, we said we were gonna go back to the Venetian and tell you about the new, well, something new there.
• 16:23
  Dayna Roselli: And it's the food hall.
• 16:24
  Dayna Roselli: So a little bit of everything over there.
• 16:26
  Dayna Roselli: It's called Via Via, and a lot of folks have been talking about this for a long time.
• 16:31
  Dayna Roselli: It's this bold new food hall at the Venetian.
• 16:34
  Dayna Roselli: It's officially open, and you can go there and start trying all the different things they have to offer.
• 16:40
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, there are a lot of different choices.
• 16:43
  Sean McAllister: Um, there's restaurants from New York, New Orleans, Los Angeles, uh, and they the way that they have it designed makes you feel like you're roaming through the streets of Venice, and there's just these little street vendors that you walk up to, get different types of food.
• 17:00
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 17:00
  Sean McAllister: Which is appropriate that it's a the Venetian.
• 17:03
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and we've been seeing a lot of reviews, people saying it's really good.
• 17:06
  Dayna Roselli: Um, we need to get over there still.
• 17:08
  Sean McAllister: Looks beautiful.
• 17:09
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, this is all part of their, we told you like a year ago that they were doing this big$1.5 billion reinvestment project at the Venetian, and this is one of the big key milestones.
• 17:20
  Dayna Roselli: So, congratulations to the folks over there.
• 17:23
  Dayna Roselli: And whenever there's a new culinary concept, we're in, and I know people love updates, they love new additions.
• 17:30
  Dayna Roselli: And if you love the Venetian, this might be somewhere you want to stop.
• 17:34
  Dayna Roselli: And food halls are becoming so popular because sometimes you just want to get a little something or you want to grab something from one place, and then you're in the mood for something else over here, and that way you can do it.
• 17:45
  Sean McAllister: It's funny a couple years ago when we first heard of like food halls coming to Las Vegas, we're like, food hall, what are we doing with this?
• 17:54
  Sean McAllister: Why?
• 17:54
  Sean McAllister: And then it food halls are everywhere now.
• 17:58
  Sean McAllister: Everyone has a food hall.
• 17:59
  Dayna Roselli: I know, and it's good.
• 18:02
  Dayna Roselli: Like recently we were at a certain property and we walked by the buffet.
• 18:06
  Dayna Roselli: You and I won't say the name of the place, and people love their buffets, and I'm glad we still have buffets, they are so popular, and I totally get it.
• 18:12
  Dayna Roselli: But like sometimes when you smell all the smells of the different kinds of food and like open, I'm like, I don't know, the smell is not appealing to me.
• 18:22
  Dayna Roselli: So I like a food hall where it's like separated things.
• 18:25
  Sean McAllister: Yes.
• 18:25
  Sean McAllister: Well, even as I was walking by that buffet, I was like, you know what?
• 18:29
  Sean McAllister: I just I can't physically eat enough to make a buffet worth it.
• 18:35
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 18:36
  Sean McAllister: I wish I could, yeah, but I just can't, and I'm not bringing Tupperware to bring it home.
• 18:40
  Sean McAllister: But there's totally against the rules.
• 18:42
  Dayna Roselli: There's always a line when we walk by this.
• 18:44
  Dayna Roselli: Always.
• 18:44
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it's popular.
• 18:45
  Sean McAllister: I mean, people love a buffet.
• 18:47
  Dayna Roselli: They do.
• 18:47
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm glad that we still have buffets in Las Vegas.
• 18:49
  Dayna Roselli: I would never want the buffet to go away completely.
• 18:52
  Sean McAllister: No.
• 18:52
  Dayna Roselli: It's a part of you know, what Vegas was and is.
• 18:55
  Sean McAllister: I just love a good salad bar.
• 18:57
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that I can't.
• 18:58
  Sean McAllister: Oh, like a really good salad bar that has like really nice topping.
• 19:03
  Sean McAllister: I know what did happen to sweet tomatoes.
• 19:05
  Dayna Roselli: We need a hotel property to open a sweet tomatoes inside.
• 19:08
  Dayna Roselli: You'd kill it.
• 19:09
  Dayna Roselli: Right?
• 19:10
  Dayna Roselli: Sometimes you just want a good salad bar.
• 19:12
  Sean McAllister: And so you can go and like choose your protein to put on top, all your different veggie toppings.
• 19:18
  Dayna Roselli: I love the little banana peppers.
• 19:19
  Dayna Roselli: I like to put, I like to decide how much I want of what on what.
• 19:23
  Dayna Roselli: Instead of somebody dipping their hands in there and putting it on for me.
• 19:26
  Dayna Roselli: So I, you know, like, and then you have to be like, can you put a little extra?
• 19:29
  Dayna Roselli: Or oh no, no olives.
• 19:31
  Dayna Roselli: I just want to choose, I want to do it.
• 19:33
  Sean McAllister: And do you know what I do really do like?
• 19:34
  Sean McAllister: This is totally getting off of the podcast topic, but um, but at salad bars, I like the like hard-boiled eggs that are cut in half.
• 19:45
  Sean McAllister: And then I like those little bacon bits.
• 19:47
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, yeah.
• 19:48
  Sean McAllister: Like not, it's not real bacon, but it's like the bacon flavored bacon bits that you find at a salad bar.
• 19:55
  Sean McAllister: And I love those with a good ranch dressing, a good buttermilk ranch.
• 19:59
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 20:00
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, and we're not talking like that's the thing.
• 20:01
  Dayna Roselli: We're not going to this the the kind of salad bar we're talking about.
• 20:04
  Dayna Roselli: We're not going to lose weight.
• 20:06
  Dayna Roselli: No.
• 20:06
  Dayna Roselli: No, we're pouring the ranch on, we're putting the bacon bits that are probably processed and dried and probably have no actual bacon in them.
• 20:18
  Sean McAllister: But they're bacon-inspired bits.
• 20:20
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 20:21
  Dayna Roselli: But it is a nice little like if you just wanna sometimes you just don't want like the full meal.
• 20:26
  Dayna Roselli: Like you're gonna go out to dinner later and you just wanna, yeah.
• 20:29
  Sean McAllister: Like the crispy iceberg lettuce, nice and cold.
• 20:32
  Dayna Roselli: I brought a hard-boiled egg for lunch today.
• 20:34
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, did you?
• 20:35
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I've been on a hard-boiled egg kick.
• 20:38
  Dayna Roselli: Learning how to perfect my hard-boiledness.
• 20:41
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 20:42
  Dayna Roselli: It's very hard to get it perfect.
• 20:43
  Dayna Roselli: So I've been doing different like watching different videos on how people do it.
• 20:48
  Dayna Roselli: My you you know what the the key is for me?
• 20:51
  Dayna Roselli: The best batch I've What's that?
• 20:54
  Sean McAllister: Because I'm curious.
• 20:55
  Sean McAllister: I never make them because I don't like the whole process of like boiling the water in it.
• 20:59
  Sean McAllister: It's not that hard to make it.
• 21:00
  Sean McAllister: Are they done?
• 21:01
  Dayna Roselli: I've got the fat the fastest and the most effective is put them in the water cold, boil it.
• 21:08
  Dayna Roselli: Once it gets to a boil, take it off or turn it down to low, and then just cover it with uh the top and leave it there for like six, seven minutes.
• 21:20
  Dayna Roselli: Because it's almost like cooking it still, like in the steam, yep.
• 21:23
  Dayna Roselli: And then transfer it to cold water, let it yeah, just make a little bowl on the side, pour some cold water in there, put them in there, and then they're they're cooled off.
• 21:31
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it's pretty easy.
• 21:33
  Dayna Roselli: Instead of knowing like how long should I have them sitting there with the boil, like as soon as it starts boiling, you turn it down or move it off to a different burner and then put the top on.
• 21:43
  Dayna Roselli: Because you know, sometimes you'd want to sit there and go, well, how long has it been boiling?
• 21:46
  Dayna Roselli: But don't worry about that.
• 21:47
  Dayna Roselli: Once it starts boiling, take it off, put the lid on, and it's like still cooking it.
• 21:52
  Sean McAllister: Well, there you go.
• 21:53
  Sean McAllister: You got two Vegas tips and a hard-boiled egg tip from Roselli.
