  Dayna Roselli: Um a beautiful area that I know a lot of people that come to visit Vegas actually say, hey, we come in, we do hit the strip, we do hit some casinos, but we also love to go biking, we love to go hiking at Red Rock.
• 3:36
  Dayna Roselli: And so that area is considered Summerlin.

  Dayna Roselli: It's a beautiful area of Las Vegas, and over there is downtown Summerland.
• 3:44
  Dayna Roselli: A lot of shopping at downtown Summerland.

  Sean McAllister: A huge multi-story venue.
• 17:15
  Dayna Roselli: That's an iconic spot.
• 17:17
  Sean McAllister: It's iconic, and I think he is going to build on the iconic legacy there because there are going to be so many different types of spaces inside as he brings his own kind of country to Vegas.
• 17:30
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 17:31
  Dayna Roselli: So he was in town uh the when he did his show here and uh sat down at the Flamingo to give everyone an update on Category 10.

• 17:51
  Dayna Roselli: So here let's listen to Luke for a minute.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_10: That's the way that I want Category 10 to be is when people come to Vegas, they're like, oh man, you have to go and check this place out.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_10: We had such a good time.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_10: It was everything was done to the nines.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_10: And they tell their friends when you go to Vegas, make sure you go to Category 10.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_10: That's what the experience that we hope to bring.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_10: We care a lot about this project.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_10: I care a lot about this.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_10: It has my name on it.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_10: And so I feel responsible for what happens when you walk in those doors.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_10: And it's a place that's cared about, and it's a place that wants you to be there, and it's a place that wants you to come back.
• 18:23
  Dayna Roselli: Listen, when your name's on it, it's a lot of pressure.
• 18:25
  Dayna Roselli: You want to make it right.
• 18:27
  Sean McAllister: You do.
• 18:27
  Dayna Roselli: But this is a three-story 34,000 square foot venue.
