  Sean McAllister: It does.
• 2:23
  Sean McAllister: And glad that um we can be a mood booster too.
• 2:27
  Sean McAllister: I know.

  Sean McAllister: While you're working out, there's several people we've talked to who who say that they listen while they're either at the gym or out on a physical run outside.
• 2:37
  Sean McAllister: And sometimes when we've done shorter episodes, they were like, Oh my gosh, I was only halfway done with my run and I didn't know what to listen to next.
• 2:45
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 2:45
  Dayna Roselli: Because I mean, sometimes you've got a great playlist, but as you keep playing it over and over, the me you're like, okay, I need to start listening to something else.
• 2:52
  Dayna Roselli: And so podcasts are great for that.
• 2:54
  Sean McAllister: And it does help pass the time.
• 2:56
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it really does.
• 2:57
  Dayna Roselli: And if you love Las Vegas or you live here, we are thank you for we, you know, we've got um, it's interesting, our number two market of listeners is now from New York City.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:05
  Dayna Roselli: We have a br like it just kind of like surged over the last like six months.
• 3:09
  Dayna Roselli: So we have lots of folks from New York City listening to Vegas Revealed.

• 3:22
  Sean McAllister: Well, if you are uh just starting your workout and listening, then keep going.
• 3:27
  Sean McAllister: Yes, you're doing good.
• 3:29
  Dayna Roselli: People love to know about free things happening in Vegas.
• 3:31
  Dayna Roselli: We mentioned uh the big firework shows that are gonna be taking place here in Las Vegas in June and July every Saturday.
• 3:38
  Dayna Roselli: Uh they're gonna move around.
• 3:39
  Dayna Roselli: Three properties are gonna do fireworks um on 4th of July.
• 3:43
  Dayna Roselli: Nine properties are shooting them off.
• 3:45
  Dayna Roselli: But the Plaza announced that they're still doing their Friday night free shows as well.
• 3:48
  Dayna Roselli: It's their welcome to the weekend summer Friday firework shows.
• 3:52
  Dayna Roselli: Those are at 9 10 p.m.
• 3:54
  Dayna Roselli: They start June 5th and it will run through September 4th every Friday evening.
• 3:59
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, this is the third year that Plaza has done these Friday night firework shows, and it really has added an extra level of excitement and entertainment to the Fremont Street district down in downtown.
• 4:13
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, really, you're right.
• 4:14
  Dayna Roselli: It it has.
• 4:15
  Dayna Roselli: And, you know, 9 10.
• 4:17
  Dayna Roselli: Sometimes people like, I don't want to wait till 9-10.
• 4:19
  Dayna Roselli: Well, they're starting a rooftop party this year at 7 p.m.
• 4:22
  Dayna Roselli: It's kind of like a new addition.
• 4:24
  Dayna Roselli: So um it's gonna have, you know, great views of the fireworks, but they're also gonna have bites from the plaza's food truck, some frosty cocktails from the pool's full service bar.
• 4:33
  Dayna Roselli: So it sounds like a lot of fun.
• 4:34
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, that's a good Vegas night.
• 4:37
  Sean McAllister: It is.
• 4:38
  Sean McAllister: I think we might need to do a Friday night firework night downtown at the plaza pool.
• 4:43
  Sean McAllister: And if you so the plaza pool is obviously a great option to watch those fireworks, but another great firework watching spot down there is at the Legacy Club at the top of Circa.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_03: Great.
• 4:56
  Sean McAllister: And so either one of those spots you're gonna get prime views.
• 5:00
  Sean McAllister: It at a legacy club, the fireworks are gonna be like at your level, or you might even be a little higher than the fireworks.
• 5:07
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know.
• 5:08
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I wonder.
• 5:09
  Dayna Roselli: We'll have to go do do all that one night.
• 5:11
  Dayna Roselli: We haven't well, it's just the beginning of summer, really.
• 5:14
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 5:14
  Dayna Roselli: So it feels like it's been summer for a while.
• 5:16
  Sean McAllister: It does.
• 5:17
  Sean McAllister: We've been talking about summer for weeks now.
• 5:20
  Dayna Roselli: Well, speaking of Fremont Street, they're uh continuing to do their free concert series.
• 5:24
  Dayna Roselli: So FYI, if you love the downtown rock summer concert series, um they have a full lineup uh starting May 30th, running through October 10th.
• 5:32
  Dayna Roselli: They do them on Saturdays.
• 5:34
  Dayna Roselli: Lots of great bands there, and um, you can go check out some free entertainment.
• 5:38
  Dayna Roselli: They always have so much free entertainment on Fremont, but they really highlight these, you know, this rundown of bands for a concert series that takes place all summer long.
• 5:48
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, Fuel is on the lineup on June 13th.
• 5:51
  Sean McAllister: They're a great band.
• 5:52
  Sean McAllister: Finger 11.
• 5:53
  Sean McAllister: That's a band from Canada.
• 5:54
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 5:55
  Sean McAllister: So if you are a Canada listener and you're planning a trip down this summer, uh June 27th might be the the time to stop by.
• 6:05
  Sean McAllister: Um then as we round out summer and head into fall, Lauren Elena and Carly Pierce, some country musicians, are uh taking the stage September 26th.
• 6:14
  Sean McAllister: And the used will be performing on October 10th.
• 6:18
  Dayna Roselli: Ooh, that's a good one, yeah.
• 6:20
  Dayna Roselli: All right.
• 6:20
  Dayna Roselli: Well, you know, we mentioned in the open um about T-Mobile Arena celebrating 10 years.
• 6:25
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, I know that you and I, when we got the release uh a couple months ago, we were like, no way.
• 6:30
  Sean McAllister: You gotta be kidding.
• 6:31
  Dayna Roselli: I just I really can't believe that.
• 6:33
  Dayna Roselli: Um we said that with Red Rock being, you know, the 20 years.
• 6:36
  Dayna Roselli: But like, is it been like 20 years, 10 years?
• 6:38
  Dayna Roselli: It's crazy how long we've been in Las Vegas.
• 6:40
  Dayna Roselli: Um but you know, you and I were both there uh at the opening of Team Mobile Arena, and so many great things have happened there over the years.
• 6:49
  Dayna Roselli: But not only that, they've also uh sold uh nearly a million hot dogs and poured five million fountain drinks.
• 6:56
  Dayna Roselli: I love these statistics that they sent over.
• 6:59
  Dayna Roselli: But we did go over there to learn more about what goes into all of this.
• 7:03
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, they're changing, you know, we've got a hockey team and they got to put the ice down.
• 7:08
  Dayna Roselli: Well, we thought that I thought they laid the ice down.
• 7:11
  Dayna Roselli: I didn't realize it's underneath.
• 7:12
  Sean McAllister: Every single time.
• 7:13
  Dayna Roselli: It's I didn't realize it's underneath.
• 7:15
  Sean McAllister: It's underneath.
• 7:15
  Dayna Roselli: So I learned all these little things.
• 7:17
  Dayna Roselli: Should we roll the story, then we'll talk about it?
• 7:19
  Sean McAllister: Uh yeah, because it's a whole production.
• 7:21
  Sean McAllister: The the show that you go to see is a production, but what gets to that point is also a production that you don't see.
• 7:28
  Sean McAllister: So check this out.
• 7:30
  Sean McAllister: A decade in the desert.
• 7:32
  Sean McAllister: T-Mobile Arena celebrates a milestone this year, delivering 10 years of incredible entertainment.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_05: It has gone by so fast, right?
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_05: Just exciting times from start to finish.
• 7:43
  Sean McAllister: The arena opened in April of 2016 with Brandon Flowers and Ronnie Venucci of The Killers on Hand.
• 7:49
  Sean McAllister: One month later, the Billboard Awards became the first nationally televised award show held at the new venue.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_05: We have the red carpet coming through right here where we are, right?
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_05: And going through the arena.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_05: That was amazing.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_05: That was just in the first couple of months of T-Mobile being opened.
• 8:04
  Sean McAllister: Since then, more than 12.6 million tickets have been sold for events at T-Mobile Arena.
• 8:10
  Sean McAllister: That's more than$2 billion in revenue for nearly 500 concerts, more than 400 Golden Knights games, 35 UFC, and 21 boxing events.
• 8:22
  Sean McAllister: With all that action, the setup and teardown of the arena is a show itself.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_05: So you guys only see the hour that it takes in one or two hours of events, but there's at least a month of coordinating one event to the other.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_05: The conversion, the production, the advanced process to a show coming in, and then to convert from one event to the other takes about six hours.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_05: And one thing to keep in mind is we always have ice underneath the floor.
• 8:46
  Sean McAllister: Check it out.
• 8:47
  Sean McAllister: This conversion happened for the Frozen 4 College Hockey Tournament.
• 8:51
  Sean McAllister: Then the ice had to be prepped for the Golden Knight, with WWE's SmackDown next up on T-Mobile's calendar.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_05: So all summer long that ice stays there.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_05: All summer well, till we get the cup again.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_05: And then we take it out.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_05: Then you can lay down a new layer of championship ice.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_05: That's right, for another season.
• 9:08
  Sean McAllister: Speaking of championships, T-Mobile Arena and the Toshiba Plaza saw Las Vegas' first ever Stanley Cup win.
• 9:21
  Sean McAllister: Yep, that's us down in that crazy crowd.
• 9:24
  Sean McAllister: That was followed up with a championship rally right in front of the arena.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_05: Where we're standing, this is where we had the celebration on the plaza, right?
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_05: We had a stage right there in front of our doors.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_05: We brought the castle in and fireworks and drones and all of that stuff.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_05: It was just unbelievable.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_05: What do the next 10 years hold?
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_05: Obviously, no secret at the NBA that we're talking about that, you know, and hopefully we'll have it here.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_05: We're ready, we're NBA ready in this arena.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_05: So let's make it happen.
• 9:49
  Sean McAllister: And we all have an invitation to be part of the T-Mobile Arena family for the next decade.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_05: Come here.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_05: We'll treat you right, your family while you're here, and that's how we treat our staff, our guests, and everybody, all our vendors and partners as well.
• 10:04
  Dayna Roselli: Alright, so a lot of that visu uh is a little bit visual, FYI.
• 10:08
  Dayna Roselli: You can go to our YouTube page to see, because you you'll want to see the time lapse of a changeover.
• 10:12
  Dayna Roselli: It's really cool.
• 10:13
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it went from uh the Frozen 4 hockey, uh college hockey tournament to the Golden Knights to uh WWE event, back to Golden Knights, back to another WWE event, and then more hockey after that.
• 10:28
  Sean McAllister: I mean, it's insane how quickly they turn that over.
• 10:33
  Sean McAllister: And there's time-lapse video showing you what it looks like in real well, not real time, but it shows you the the changeover.
• 10:40
  Sean McAllister: It's really cool.
• 10:41
  Dayna Roselli: And I felt so dumb thinking, like, oh yeah, duh, the the ice is underneath.
• 10:46
  Dayna Roselli: I always wonder that.
• 10:47
  Dayna Roselli: Like, how do I get the ice back out there?
• 10:49
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know what I was thinking.
• 10:50
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, and you've got to move like the seats and stuff because when you put a stage up for a concert or whatever, yeah, like some of the seats get pushed back and you gotta set up.
• 10:58
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it's quite a production.
• 10:59
  Dayna Roselli: We've said it before on the podcast.
• 11:01
  Dayna Roselli: Uh the staff at Team Mobile Arena, the the this they're just amazing.
• 11:06
  Dayna Roselli: They're friendly, upbeat, helpful.
• 11:08
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, they just do a great job over there.
• 11:10
  Dayna Roselli: So we look forward to 10 more years.
• 11:11
  Dayna Roselli: I got a lot of good things coming up this year.
• 11:13
  Sean McAllister: Well, and something that I didn't even realize so when you leave a concert or a hockey game, the staff is always out there waving and saying, Thanks for coming, see you next time.
• 11:25
  Sean McAllister: But if you're at a hockey, a golden knights game, and the team wins, the staff are waving to you, but they're standing in a V formation to symbolize the victory.
• 11:37
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 11:38
  Sean McAllister: And I don't think that I've ever noticed that.
• 11:40
  Dayna Roselli: I don't I don't think I've noticed that either.
• 11:43
  Sean McAllister: Such attention to detail that they pay over at T-Mobile Arena, it's really cool.
• 11:48
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it is.
• 11:50
  Dayna Roselli: Um, listen, since we're launching in Hawaii soon, we wanted to share um some details about a place that opened here a year ago.
• 11:57
  Dayna Roselli: They're actually just celebrating one year.
• 12:00
  Dayna Roselli: Pipeline Malasadas.
• 12:02
  Dayna Roselli: And we didn't, I didn't know, I think you might have known what a Malasada was.
• 12:08
  Dayna Roselli: And again, I felt like, wow, how do I not know this?
• 12:11
  Dayna Roselli: But it's kind of like a Hawaiian donut, actually like a Portuguese donut.
• 12:15
  Dayna Roselli: And we're gonna get all into all that when we share the interview.
• 12:17
  Dayna Roselli: But um, we went over to Pipeline, who they're just doing so well over there.
• 12:21
  Dayna Roselli: They're gonna expand to the east side of Vegas now, and it's owned by a woman who also has a bake shop in Hawaii.
• 12:29
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, Gayla Young, she opened uh Pipeline Malasadas uh in Honolulu, Oahu, uh 10 years ago.
• 12:37
  Sean McAllister: So a long-standing uh bake shop there on Oahu, big following, and then came here to Las Vegas and said, Hey, there's so many islanders who now call Las Vegas home and visit Las Vegas all the time.
• 12:54
  Sean McAllister: How about I bring a taste of Hawaii to Las Vegas with my malasadas?
• 12:58
  Sean McAllister: And that's exactly what she did.
• 13:00
  Sean McAllister: And we stopped over to get the full story and try the malasadas ourselves.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_02: But what makes them unique is the texture.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_02: So a malasada is known for its crispy exterior and super super fluffy interior.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_02: So in Hawaii, traditionally you just eat them coated in sugar.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_02: We were soft opening, we were figuring everything out, we're testing things out, everyone that fit into them was like, oh, this is amazing.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_02: But what's inside?
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_02: And they're like, where's the filming?
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_02: And and so we decided to fill them.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_02: And so all of our custards we make here are we don't use any artificial flavoring.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_02: You know, we'll have two standard flavors.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_02: We'll do like a custard and a chocolate every month.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_02: And then every month we have one island flavor, which we call the Kama Aina.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_02: That means local, and one mainland flavor.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_02: The beauty for me, honestly, in the validation was when I had people that haven't been home in the islands for decades.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_02: And they take one bite of my mama samala, and they're like, wow, I feel like I'm back home.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_02: And I haven't had anything like that in years.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_02: And that was the goal is to share the taste of alumba with everybody.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_02: Knowing that when you bite a mama samala, it's like you're transported to the islands.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_02: Because that's what Hawaii is all about.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_02: It's food and culture and family, and then you always have mala samadas at events in Hawaii.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_02: So when you come in, do you order like a bunch?
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_02: Can you order one?
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_02: You can order them individually, you can get them in the box.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_02: The more you order, the cheaper they get, of course.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you can mix and match however you want.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_02: You can do them all sugar.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_02: We have 10 different flavors at one time.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_02: Six different sugar flavors, four different filling flavors.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_02: You can get a box of six, twelve or eighteen.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_02: You can come and get one if you want them.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_02: But um, they're really meant to be eaten right away when they're warm.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_02: That's the beauty of it.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_01: I like it because it's authentic, you know, and this is something you cannot find just anywhere.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_01: It's really good and tasty.
• 14:53
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I just love Gayla's vibe, and I love that she's confident in her malasada.
• 14:58
  Dayna Roselli: She knows they're good.
• 14:59
  Sean McAllister: Absolutely does.
• 15:01
  Dayna Roselli: And I loved watching them.
• 15:02
  Dayna Roselli: Again, you can go to our YouTube, we're gonna post this at some point, um, the visual story, um, where you can actually see the malasadas being filled.
• 15:10
  Dayna Roselli: It was a really cool process to watch.
• 15:12
  Sean McAllister: And boy, they really are delicious.
• 15:14
  Sean McAllister: So pillowy soft inside.
• 15:18
  Dayna Roselli: And yeah, and she's right, when they're warm, it's the best.
• 15:20
  Dayna Roselli: And people were coming in and just like getting one in a baggie.
• 15:23
  Dayna Roselli: It's like, you know, lunch break time or whatever.
• 15:25
  Dayna Roselli: And she said they're open pretty late too, so people come at night.
• 15:28
  Sean McAllister: It's a great treat.
• 15:29
  Sean McAllister: She said also uh businesses, uh, people will come in and get uh a dozen malasadas or two dozen and take them around to other partner businesses as a as a thank you for doing doing stuff together.
• 15:43
