• 1:45
  Sean McAllister: No, someone asked me that the other day.
• 1:47
  Sean McAllister: Me too.
• 1:48
  Sean McAllister: I was going out of the dentist, my dentist office.
• 1:50
  Sean McAllister: They were like, oh, okay.
• 1:51
  Sean McAllister: I told them we were at 7:30 on Saturday.
• 1:53
  Sean McAllister: And as I was walking out, the girl was like, I'll set my alarm clock and be up at 7:30 to watch.
• 1:58
  Sean McAllister: I was like, set your alarm.
• 2:00
  Sean McAllister: I was like, Do you sleep like in the evening?
• 2:02
  Sean McAllister: Did you take a long nap?
• 2:04
  Sean McAllister: No, you're on in the morning, right?
• 2:05
  Sean McAllister: I was like, no, it's 7:30 at night in the evening, like a good time.
• 2:09
  Sean McAllister: She was like, Oh, that's great.
• 2:11
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 2:11
  Dayna Roselli: We're gonna move around a lot.
• 2:12
  Dayna Roselli: So there will be a few weekends in March toward the end that I think we're on at 9 a.m.
• 2:16
  Sean McAllister: Correct.
• 2:17
  Dayna Roselli: So it'll be fresh eyes, you know, the morning crowd, the evening crowd.
• 2:20
  Dayna Roselli: So we love that.
• 2:21
  Sean McAllister: And we're gonna keep you up to date on our Vegas Revealed social media uh to let you know the exact times each week uh that our shows are gonna air.
• 2:29
  Sean McAllister: So you're not gonna miss out on a darn thing because we want you to be there with us.
• 2:35
  Dayna Roselli: We all know that you're just sitting there waiting to watch us.
• 2:40
  Dayna Roselli: Well, you know who's sitting there waiting is some people who thought they were going to Adele this weekend.
• 2:44
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, she had to cancel like all of March, all her weekends with Adele.
• 2:48
  Dayna Roselli: Like this is the final leg of this stretch, and then she comes back again for shows in the summer, but uh, she's not feeling well.
• 2:54
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, when the throat and the voice and all that doesn't come together, a lot of times doctors require and ask that you just do like a good, good vocal rest.
• 3:04
  Dayna Roselli: And so the remaining five weekends of this leg are being postponed to a later date.
• 3:09
  Dayna Roselli: Adele wrote this on her Instagram and social media and Twitter, and she said, you know, we're already working out the details and you will be sent the information ASAP.
• 3:18
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, so the backstory on this is Adele kind of explains that she had gotten sick a while ago and then never fully recovered.
• 3:26
  Sean McAllister: She kind of pushed through, kept doing her shows, and that's just kind of led to a situation where she was never able to fully recover.
• 3:35
  Sean McAllister: So now her doctor is saying, you know what, Adele?
• 3:38
  Sean McAllister: You need to chill out, you need to take a beat, recover so that you can come back full strength.
• 3:44
  Sean McAllister: So that's what she's doing.
• 3:46
  Sean McAllister: Obviously, there are going to be some disappointed ticket holders, but um, they are looking right now to see when those dates can be rescheduled.
• 3:56
  Sean McAllister: And um, you know, when the doctor says it's time to tap out, you gotta tap out.
• 4:01
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 4:02
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 4:03
  Dayna Roselli: And you you need you need the full recovery.
• 4:05
  Dayna Roselli: You can't just do it a weekend.
• 4:06
  Sean McAllister: No, I've been there and it it really sucks when you just string it out and never feel completely good.
• 4:14
  Dayna Roselli: Well, and imagine, I mean, and you don't sing, you don't walk around.
• 4:17
  Sean McAllister: Well, I do, but it's terrible.
• 4:19
  Dayna Roselli: So imagine having to sing all that time.
• 4:21
  Sean McAllister: No, I know.
• 4:22
  Sean McAllister: And have people rely on you to put on a good show.
• 4:26
  Dayna Roselli: Um, hey, you know who does sing?
• 4:28
  Dayna Roselli: MJ and Prince, and both of them have shows at uh, well, tribute shows.
• 4:33
  Sean McAllister: Kind of.
• 4:34
  Sean McAllister: Shows in honor of them.
• 4:36
  Dayna Roselli: In honor of them at uh the Tropicana.
• 4:38
  Dayna Roselli: Oh gosh, we shouldn't laugh.
• 4:40
  Dayna Roselli: Don't write us and get nasty.
• 4:41
  Dayna Roselli: We're we're laughing at how I tried to make the connection there.

• 6:46
  Dayna Roselli: You and I went for one of the tapings.
• 6:48
  Dayna Roselli: They they had to tape them, obviously, because they're on the road.
• 6:50
  Dayna Roselli: The show's usually live in New York City, but uh we had a blast.
• 6:54
  Dayna Roselli: We went to taping number one on Monday morning, which aired on Tuesday, and it was great.
• 7:02
  Sean McAllister: It was so fun.
• 7:03
  Sean McAllister: The energy inside of the Blue Live Theater over there at Fountain Blue.
• 7:08
  Sean McAllister: It was people were ready to have a good time.
• 7:11
  Sean McAllister: It was what 9:30, 10 o'clock in the morning for the taping, and people were like, there was a dance contest before the show.
• 7:19
  Sean McAllister: People were up and and ready.
• 7:22
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 7:22
  Dayna Roselli: And it was really cool for Kelly and Mark, I think, to like come out on stage that was beautifully set up with a Vegas look and look out and see, you know, a full theater at Blue Guys.
• 7:35
  Dayna Roselli: You know, the balconies were full, cheering them on.
• 7:38
  Dayna Roselli: What a fun time.
• 7:39
  Dayna Roselli: It was it was Mark's first remote.
• 7:42
  Dayna Roselli: You know, Mark is married to Kelly Rippa, Mark Insuellos, excellent actor.
• 7:46
  Dayna Roselli: I've watched him in Riverdale.
• 7:47
  Dayna Roselli: He's got a new show I saw coming out on HBO Max, so good for him.
• 7:51
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and now, you know, after going through so many hosts since Regis left the show and later passed, uh Kelly has now, I guess, just agreed and decided I'm gonna do the show with Mark, and I think it works really well.
• 8:04
  Sean McAllister: They are so cute together.
• 8:06
  Dayna Roselli: They really are.
• 8:07
  Sean McAllister: As a couple and as co-hosts.
• 8:09
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 8:10
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, charming to watch, really.
• 8:13
  Dayna Roselli: It just like literally like jealousy oozes because you're like, this is perfection.
• 8:17
  Dayna Roselli: Obviously, we never know what happens behind the scene, nothing's perfect, and they talk about that all the time, you know.
• 8:22
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, but yeah, what a great and they just we saw them though, like when they were off camera, and we we noticed like they really gel really well.
• 8:31
  Dayna Roselli: Nobody's trying to take over anyone's job.
• 8:33
  Dayna Roselli: They're they're definitely a team.
• 8:35
  Sean McAllister: Oh, they are, and you know, when they would be standing there uh in a commercial break waiting to, you know, for the show to restart again, you know, he would have his hand on the on the small of her back, and it was just super cute.
• 8:49
  Sean McAllister: And by the way, both of them are really funny.
• 8:51
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I wasn't expecting to laugh as much as we did.
• 8:55
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, they are funny, really, and and I like that Mark's a little shy.
• 8:58
  Dayna Roselli: He is he's a little shy, and Kelly's always been that way.
• 9:01
  Dayna Roselli: She's quick too, you know, very quick witted.
• 9:04
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, and I love that they engage with the audience.
• 9:07
  Dayna Roselli: I love that they still handwrite a lot of the cue cards.
• 9:10
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 9:11
  Dayna Roselli: Uh Michael Gellman is the executive producer.
• 9:13
  Dayna Roselli: He has been there forever.
• 9:14
  Dayna Roselli: In fact, he's a Guinness world recorder.
• 9:17
  Dayna Roselli: World record breaker.
• 9:19
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I'm trying to get that for the longest morning show uh producer in the history of TV, which is amazing.
• 9:26
  Sean McAllister: Well, and we were looking that up, Dana, and uh you were pulling up the information, and this is like his one and only professional job.
• 9:36
  Sean McAllister: Like he started with the show super young and he's stayed with it all these years.
• 9:42
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 9:42
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, like the name of the show has changed, and it went from like local in New York City to you know syndicated and everything.
• 9:50
  Dayna Roselli: So it a lot of changes, but the whole you're right, the whole time, you know, Regis and Gellman.
• 9:57
  Dayna Roselli: Remember, Regis always used to yell, Gelman.
• 10:00
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 10:00
  Dayna Roselli: And still, you know, it was fun to see.
• 10:02
  Dayna Roselli: I'm going off on a million different tents.
• 10:03
  Dayna Roselli: It was fun to see Kelly, like you said, kind of um interact with Gelman.
• 10:06
  Dayna Roselli: Whenever she forgot her train of thought, she'd be like, Gelman, what's the name of that?
• 10:10
  Dayna Roselli: And that's always what it's been like.
• 10:11
  Dayna Roselli: Gelman's always been a part of the show.
• 10:13
  Dayna Roselli: So even though Michael Gelman is the executive producer, people know him that watch the show.
• 10:17
  Sean McAllister: They do.
• 10:18
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 10:18
  Sean McAllister: They do.
• 10:19
  Dayna Roselli: I love what he's developed.
• 10:20
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and we said, you know what, let's talk to him.
• 10:22
  Dayna Roselli: Um, we wanted to chat with him about because when we walked into the Blue Live Theater, we thought, wow, this set is amazing.
• 10:29
  Sean McAllister: I mean, they turned that stage into they turned it into a TV studio, that theater.
• 10:36
  Sean McAllister: And the set that they built was very, it felt like Fountain Blue.
• 10:42
  Dayna Roselli: It was it was great.
• 10:43
  Dayna Roselli: It was beautiful.
• 10:44
  Dayna Roselli: I thought, wow, just for four shows, but they went all out.
• 10:48
  Dayna Roselli: Sure did.
• 10:48
  Dayna Roselli: And so we pulled Michael Gelman aside.
• 10:50
  Dayna Roselli: He was willing to talk to us and had a nice chat with him just about bringing the show to Vegas and you know, what kind of work that takes.
• 10:58
  Dayna Roselli: Also, just chatting with him a little bit about what he likes about Vegas and why they even like taking the show there.
• 11:03
  Sean McAllister: What does it take to put on a production of this caliber, uh, essentially on the other side of the country?
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_02: You know, it's nerve-wracking because whatever we do on a daily basis with a live show uh is difficult.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_02: But when you bring it to a new location and a huge location, and you try to set up uh, you know, uh theater into a studio in a couple of days, there's just so many things that can go wrong.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_02: So you just try to dot your I's and cross your T's and hope that nothing goes wrong.
• 11:33
  Sean McAllister: What is your thought process in putting these shows together and making sure that you capture the Vegas spirit?
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_02: You know, we want to have a balance of, you know, the kind of the big acts along with celebrities and just keeping it very kind of homey with uh Kelly and Mark.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_02: And I think we've done a good job.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_02: I mean the bookings are tremendous.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_02: Uh we also try to get out there so we bring kind of all those other things in.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_02: So, you know, we're we're at the uh sphere, we're, you know, doing tours of hotels, we're at UFC, we have all stuff, all kinds of stuff going on.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_02: And this is Mark's uh first remote show, right?
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he's never done a remote.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_02: He's come on remotes as a family member, but he's never been uh the host, so it's very exciting for him.
• 12:20
  Dayna Roselli: I'm just gonna ask, what's your take on Vegas?
• 12:23
  Dayna Roselli: What do you think when you visit?
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_02: Because I know you're a New York City guy, so I'm a New York City guy, but I love Vegas.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, uh the food, and I'm a foodie, and the restaurants in this hotel and all over the place are so good.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_02: So I just the food is great.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_02: And I also uh love a show, you know, and I love a spectacular, and there's nothing as spectacular as some of these Vegas shows.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm having a good time.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_02: You know, my wife Lori came uh with me.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_02: My daughter flew in from LA, she's had uh some time here with me.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_02: So in between my working, we've been getting out and having a good time.
• 12:55
  Sean McAllister: This isn't gonna be the only time that we see Kelly and Mark on Las Vegas soil, is it?
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_02: Are you gonna be back?
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I just heard today on uh the show was announced we have a residency here at the Blue Live Theater.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_02: Start that rumor, maybe it'll come true.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_02: Uh yeah, we'll help spread it.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_02: Uh no, we hope to be back, and uh it's it's always fun, and there's so much talent.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_02: It's such a mech of chaubiz and entertainment that we love coming here.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_02: So hopefully we'll be back soon.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_02: And next up, you'll you'll be on the road again in LA uh for your post-Oscar show.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the Oscars is another huge show, and just the timing worked out that they were like, you know, one or two weeks away.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_02: But uh it's a little challenging, but it's it's gonna be great.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_02: It's gonna be big.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_02: We have, you know, like thousands of people sh ready to show up out there, and hopefully we'll get some big Oscar winners, but on the right carpet, we'll be backstage.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_02: It's always an exciting show.
• 13:50
  Sean McAllister: Gellman is great, and I feel like he looks better now than he looks younger now than he ever has in at any other point in his career, which is astonishing.
• 14:00
  Dayna Roselli: Literally ages backwards, right?
• 14:02
  Sean McAllister: Man.
• 14:02
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and I think, you know, we you and I have talked about this before, but I did have the opportunity to go interview Michael Gelman and Regis and Kelly when I worked for CBS in Las Vegas, because uh, you know, uh Regis and Kelly was on the show when Regis was retiring and they sent me for the network.
• 14:19
  Dayna Roselli: And really one of the most memorable things I've ever done, just to see the behind the scenes, get to see sit with Regis in his office, get to meet Gellman, see how him and him read uh Gellman and Regis, you know, interact um together, even as friends.
• 14:33
  Dayna Roselli: And I notice it's just they're such a camaraderie.
• 14:36
  Dayna Roselli: They get each other, and I think that's just why the show has always worked.
• 14:39
  Dayna Roselli: And Kelly, you know, when she came in, just really embraced all that and has taken what I think Michael Gellman and Regis started and has moved it and kept it the same style.
• 14:53
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, kept that spirit alive for sure.
• 14:55
  Sean McAllister: Uh that's a really cool experience that that you were able to have to go and do that.
• 15:00
  Dayna Roselli: It really was.
• 15:00
  Sean McAllister: I I enjoyed it so much.
• 15:02
  Sean McAllister: Something I'll always remember.
• 15:03
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 15:03
  Sean McAllister: And on the show that uh we attended, Cheryl Lee Ralph, uh, of course, she's a award winner, star of stage, screen.
• 15:12
  Sean McAllister: Uh, she was the guest on the show and could not have been a better spokesperson for the Las Vegas experience.
• 15:20
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 15:21
  Dayna Roselli: She was talking about the fountain blue and how wonderful it was.
• 15:24
  Dayna Roselli: She loved it, staying there and the sphere.
• 15:27
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 15:28
  Dayna Roselli: She loved the sphere and all the things Las Vegas, right?
• 15:31
  Sean McAllister: So she was fun to see also uh the show Rouge, which is over at the Strat.
• 15:37
  Sean McAllister: Um, they had their hand balancing act.
• 15:40
  Sean McAllister: It's three brothers who do this hand balancing act, and that was nerve-wracking.
• 15:45
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 15:46
  Sean McAllister: Phenomenal.
• 15:47
  Sean McAllister: They did a great job, but it was nerve-wracking because these are not small guys, they're like big muscle guys, and they're balancing on each other's heads and like three tall.
• 16:00
  Sean McAllister: And I'm like, man, alive, did they do a good job?
• 16:03
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I always feel like, I mean, that's part of it, right?
• 16:06
  Dayna Roselli: Because it's the wow factor, but it does put you on the edge of your seat.

• 16:16
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, Rouge is still over at the Strat.
• 16:18
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, they call it's like the sexiest show in Vegas, is one of the, you know, kind of slogans that people have said and and you know, that they've gotten through the years that they've been here.

• 17:28
  Sean McAllister: The Orleans is down Flamingo or Trop?
• 17:32
  Sean McAllister: Trop.
• 17:33
  Sean McAllister: I always get uh get that confused.
• 17:35
  Sean McAllister: Uh down Tropicana Avenue on the west side of the Las Vegas Strip.
• 17:40
  Sean McAllister: Uh been there forever, like New Orleans-themed uh hotel casino, and Jersey Boys is the first residency show that they have staged over in the showroom at the Orleans.
• 17:53
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so we were excited to get there and hit the red carpet, meet the cast, meet the, you know, the folks are that are in charge of of putting on the show and talk to them a little bit about, you know, why they think this is gonna work at the Orleans, how you know Jersey Boys the musical has really been missed here in Las Vegas.
• 18:10
  Dayna Roselli: So first we talked to John Bentham, he's the executive producer, and had a nice chat about what this show is gonna bring to Las Vegas.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_05: Man, this has been a dream come true.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_05: We've been waiting for a very long time to get this back on the stage, and I'm so proud of this cast and everybody that's been a part of it because we've actually brought back the Broadway show, Jersey Boys, to Las Vegas.
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_05: And it's the first time that it's been in Vegas.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_05: We've had a Vegas run of Jersey Boys before, but it's been the shortened version.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_05: So this is the first time that people can really enjoy the full Broadway version here in Las Vegas.
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_05: I didn't realize that okay, it's gonna be a little longer, right?
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_05: Yep, it's a little bit longer, but we've got the full band.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_05: So in the last 10 years, you know, things have kind of condensed.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_05: So Jersey Boys was this big brand job.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_05: And just over time it's kind of shortened and it's kind of gone down.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_05: So the band went from 10 to 6, the cast went from 17 to 14, we've run it all back.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_05: So we've got a huge cast, we've got a huge band, and the sound and and the uh excitement on the stage has never been better.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_03: I feel like people have been asking, like really missing it.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, do you feel like it's a show that people have really wanted back as well?
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_05: You know, it's it's funny.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_05: We've only been here for a couple of weeks, and already we've seen people who've seen the show 104 times, 90 times, 80 times.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_05: It's amazing how many people have seen the show multiple times and they come back because they get something new out of it, or the music is exciting and exhilarating every time they see it.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_05: So, yeah, I mean, I think there's a couple of things.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_05: You know, the the the the message of the show is real powerful, and the music is just unbelievable.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_05: It's just such a fun big show for Vegas.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_05: You know, when people come to Vegas, they want to kind of escape, they want to see something fresh, new.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_05: Jersey Boys always seems to be that for people.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_03: And what about uh being at the Orleans?
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_03: This is kind of like the first big residency for the Orleans.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, this is really cool.
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, you think this is gonna be a good fit?
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, we're super excited about the the residency here at the Orleans.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_05: It's the first one that they've ever had, and it's a perfect theater for this show.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_05: You know, Jersey Boys is such a big show, and we're in at like 800 seats.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_05: So there's not a bad seat in the house, it's very intimate feeling, and it's just a lot of fun.
• 20:08
  Sean McAllister: And there on the red carpet, we also uh talked to the Jersey Boys cast.
• 20:13
  Sean McAllister: Of course, the show is about Frankie Valley and the four seasons, but there were five seasons there standing in front of us because the the role of uh Frankie Valley is split between uh two different actors.
• 20:28
  Sean McAllister: So we spoke with all of them about what it's like to have this show here in Las Vegas.
• 20:33
  Sean McAllister: Some are new to the show, some are veteran Jersey boys.
• 20:36
  Sean McAllister: So uh you're gonna hear from Joey Barrero, Tyler Matthew Burke, Jonathan Cable, Jared Chinook, and Kit Treese about their experience being a part of this cast.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_03: You guys have a lot of shows, so it's important to have multiple Frankies, right?
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_03: So tell us a little bit about that process.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Jared and I split the role because it's no dry and vegetables, and so we, you know, it's great to have each other and we feed off each other.
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_00: It's been a great time.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_03: It's a lot of work putting in a show every day, six days a week, and then what you're doing, coming in and we do memes, months, memes, and months, months, money, mm-hmm.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_01: It's a great mix of people that have done this number for one people that have done.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_01: It's like a combined scope of melanin's every time we're making a memory, something's really money, money.
• 21:32
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, look at the money, look at the mum.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_06: We're gonna make a mum and we're gonna have some and make sure we're taking a mummy.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_06: I'm the cruise director.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_06: Let's get it straight.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_06: I want to make sure everyone's having fun.
• 22:06
  Sean McAllister: You know what, Dana?
• 22:08
  Sean McAllister: I was actually curious.
• 22:09
  Sean McAllister: I was like, wait a second, was he really like a cruise director in real life and just bringing that experience or just using that analogy for what he's doing for the cast?
• 22:19
  Dayna Roselli: I think an analogy.
• 22:20
  Dayna Roselli: I love that though.
• 22:21
  Dayna Roselli: Like, I'm not the one who instigates, I'm just the cruise director.
• 22:24
  Dayna Roselli: I want to make sure all the activities are in order and that we have fun.
• 22:27
  Dayna Roselli: But I love that they're really enjoying Vegas so much, you know?
• 22:30
  Dayna Roselli: Young guys, you know, here working hard, doing, you know, working six nights a week.
• 22:35
  Dayna Roselli: And they love, you know, embracing everything that's Las Vegas.
• 22:40
  Dayna Roselli: It was fun to talk to them.
• 22:41
  Dayna Roselli: And the show was great.
• 22:42
  Dayna Roselli: We loved it.
• 22:43
  Dayna Roselli: And, you know, it didn't feel too long.
• 22:45
  Dayna Roselli: There's an intermission, um, just like there was at the show at Paris and Palazzo.
• 22:51
  Dayna Roselli: But after the intermission, it's a little bit longer.
• 22:54
  Dayna Roselli: I think the show total when I was talking to one of the choreographers was like 220.
• 22:58
  Sean McAllister: Okay, because yeah, they are staging the full uh Broadway production.
• 23:04
  Sean McAllister: Over the years, there have been different versions of the show where it's been cut down a little bit for timing.
• 23:09
  Sean McAllister: Um, but this is the full Broadway uh production of Jersey Boys, which is fantastic.
• 23:15
  Sean McAllister: And one of the things that I uh absolutely loved is looking around uh in the audience while they were doing these classic four seasons uh songs that just like get you bopping and moving, but you could see the people who are of the generation of this music, and they just had the biggest smiles on their faces.
• 23:36
  Sean McAllister: They were singing along, they were dancing in their chairs.
• 23:39
  Sean McAllister: Yep.
• 23:40
  Sean McAllister: I just thought that was such a cool thing.
• 23:42
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 23:42
  Dayna Roselli: It's and then you were saying it's like the Backstreet Boys for a different generation.
• 23:46
  Dayna Roselli: Backstreet boys, yeah, different generation, right?
• 23:48
  Dayna Roselli: But you know every song, you know, you just do.
• 23:51
  Dayna Roselli: It's a great show.
• 23:52
  Dayna Roselli: If you get a chance, go see it.
• 23:53
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and keep that 3:30 matinee on Saturdays in mind if you're more of a daytime show person.
• 23:59
  Sean McAllister: That is good.
• 24:00
  Sean McAllister: I'm gonna keep that in mind.
• 24:01
  Sean McAllister: By the way, the show is dark on Tuesdays.
• 24:04
  Sean McAllister: All right, let's do some tips.
• 24:10
  Sean McAllister: Dana, I feel like this first tip is perfect for the Golden Girls.
• 24:14
  Sean McAllister: You know how they always sat at their kitchen table going over, having laughs and tears and hugs over cheesecake.
• 24:24
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 24:25
  Sean McAllister: Well, we have some darn good cheesecake in Las Vegas now, courtesy of Junior's, the iconic restaurant from Brooklyn.
• 24:33
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, right out of New York.
• 24:35
  Dayna Roselli: We now have one on the strip.
• 24:36
  Dayna Roselli: It's exciting over at Resorts World.
• 24:39
  Dayna Roselli: This Junior's, though, um uh uh is over the top.
• 24:43
  Dayna Roselli: It's a 300-seat venue.
• 24:45
  Dayna Roselli: It has full service breakfast, lunch, dinner, a late night menu, a bar, and then the legendary cheesecake offering.
• 24:53
  Dayna Roselli: So it's got everything all in one.
• 24:55
  Dayna Roselli: This is the first location on the West Coast, so that's pretty cool.
• 24:58
  Sean McAllister: And Dana, we did have uh a little cheesecake delivered to us.
• 25:04
  Sean McAllister: And I sat down and I had that and I savored, I was taking the smallest bites possible because I wanted it to last as long as it could.
• 25:14
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 25:15
  Sean McAllister: And it's so good.
• 25:16
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, it really, you know, and we're going so we're this is this podcast we're recording right before we go over to an event at Resorts World for the juniors grand opening and ribbon cutting.
• 25:26
  Dayna Roselli: You'll see that in our TV show and on our social media as well.
• 25:30
  Dayna Roselli: But Sean, and when I was reading, getting ready to head out the door here, I thought, wow, they have like two dozen flavors.
• 25:38
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 25:38
  Dayna Roselli: The New York Plain to the ever-popular strawberry, chocolate, mousse, and red velvet with new favorites such as pumpkin, key lime, and Oreo.
• 25:47
  Dayna Roselli: I love Oreo cheesecakes.
• 25:49
  Dayna Roselli: I like key lime.
• 25:50
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, do you?
• 25:50
  Dayna Roselli: You're a key lime.
• 25:52
  Dayna Roselli: You and my dad.
• 25:53
  Dayna Roselli: I'm not a key lime person.
• 25:54
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, you, my dad, my mom like key lime too.
• 25:56
  Dayna Roselli: Key lime is good.
• 25:57
  Dayna Roselli: I like how tart it is.
• 25:59
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that that is good too.
• 26:00
  Dayna Roselli: I like a good tart.
• 26:01
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, I'm excited.
• 26:02
  Dayna Roselli: They have curated cocktail program, the whole nine.
• 26:05
  Dayna Roselli: So this is gonna be great.
• 26:06
  Dayna Roselli: They even have like steak burgers, deli sandwiches.
• 26:10
  Dayna Roselli: I'm interested to see.
• 26:11
  Dayna Roselli: I think this is gonna be a great addition to Resorts World because I love when hotel casinos have top-of-the-line world-class restaurants and they have, you know, like middle of the road, more casual restaurants that are just as good.
• 26:27
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 26:27
  Dayna Roselli: You know, their offerings are just as good, but it still feels more casual in case you're not, you know, you're not wanting to hit Wally's that night.
• 26:34
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 26:34
  Sean McAllister: Yep.
• 26:35
  Sean McAllister: So it's great to have uh juniors opening their first West Coast location inside Resorts World, just steps off of the casino floor.
• 26:45
  Sean McAllister: Um, so if you're over there at Resorts World and you have a hanker in for a cheesecake or whatever, really anything off of their vast menu, yeah.
• 26:56
  Sean McAllister: Stop in there.
• 26:58
  Dayna Roselli: Um, hey, listen, we uh mentioned at the top of the show, pool season is here in Las Vegas.
• 27:03
  Dayna Roselli: There's usually, we just have like an opening date when it's usually when the weather starts to cooperate.
• 27:07
  Dayna Roselli: So there'll be days where it may not feel like pool season, but then there'll be another day where it does.
• 27:13
  Sean McAllister: It's true.
• 27:14
  Sean McAllister: This is that time of year that's like a boomerang.
• 27:17
  Dayna Roselli: Something came across our desk today, and I thought we have to share this.
• 27:20
  Dayna Roselli: This is a great tip.
• 27:21
  Dayna Roselli: And it came out from Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
• 27:23
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and uh, they're kind of doing a new concept, uh, which will be known as the pool at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
• 27:32
  Sean McAllister: It'll be upscale, modern, tropical, kind of think of an oasis.
• 27:38
  Sean McAllister: And this is for hotel guests, along with people who are not staying at the property.
• 27:43
  Sean McAllister: Um, this deal starts on Saturday, March 16th at their pool, which is located on the second level near the Ruby Tower entrance.
• 27:53
  Sean McAllister: There are going to be cabanas, food and beverage service, poolside services from the spa, and a serene beach-like atmosphere, according to Virgin.
• 28:03
  Dayna Roselli: I know, and you and I, we've um walked by the pool many times, and I uh um and I know there's different pools, and then we were out somewhere once, and I think we were looking at that one.
• 28:12
  Dayna Roselli: We were at the old Money Baby.
• 28:14
  Dayna Roselli: Remember we went out to the patio?
• 28:16
  Dayna Roselli: I think it's that pool.
• 28:17
  Dayna Roselli: Don't quote me on that, but anyway, they have several different pools and they do have kind of that beach tropical vibe.
• 28:22
  Dayna Roselli: So I love it.
• 28:24
  Dayna Roselli: Um, listen, here's the deal: the pool is for non-guests and locals, like Sean mentioned, um, with the purchase of a$25 day pass.
• 28:34
  Dayna Roselli: So not bad, right?
• 28:35
  Dayna Roselli: Cabanas will be available to hotel guests for$100 Sunday through Friday and$150 on Saturday.
• 28:42
  Dayna Roselli: But locals are going to receive an exclusive offer of a$50 cabana reservation.
• 28:47
  Dayna Roselli: Wow.
• 28:48
  Dayna Roselli: Sunday through Friday.
• 28:50
  Dayna Roselli: So it does not count Saturdays with a Nevada ID.
• 28:53
  Dayna Roselli: A cabana reservation includes four day passes.
• 28:57
  Sean McAllister: Four passes?
• 28:58
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so you can split it, you know, and then it's so it's great.
• 29:02
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and people always ask us, where can locals go?
• 29:05
  Dayna Roselli: Are there any pools on this, you know, on the strip or off the strip or you know, in in Las Vegas hotel pools where locals can go?
• 29:12
  Dayna Roselli: And now Virgin is is saying, hey, come come here, join us.
• 29:17
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so I love this uh idea.
• 29:21
  Dayna Roselli: The pool is open daily from 9:30 a.m.
• 29:24
  Dayna Roselli: to close.
• 29:25
  Dayna Roselli: They're gonna have, like you mentioned, a food and beverage menu.
• 29:28
  Dayna Roselli: They've got all the favorites there, and they've even got bottle service.
• 29:31
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, really anything you want.
• 29:33
  Dayna Roselli: So you can either go big or you can go small if you just want to go chill with a bottle of water and lay out.
• 29:40
  Sean McAllister: Well, let me tell you, I think it is so smart of them to offer a deal for a pool deal for locals because there's so many times when you might have a group of people in town and you're like, oh, I want to go to a resort pool, whatever.
• 29:56
  Sean McAllister: But you don't want to do like the day club thing.
• 29:59
  Sean McAllister: You want to actually go to a pool where you can just kind of relax, hang out, and you can't get in to a lot of pools unless you are a guest of that resort.
• 30:09
  Sean McAllister: So this is fantastic.
• 30:10
  Sean McAllister: The price is right for a cabana, a$50 cabana reservation, get four people in.
• 30:17
  Sean McAllister: Smart move Virgin hotels.
• 30:19
  Dayna Roselli: Well, and a lot of people always say, like sometimes they go into Virgin and it feels a little empty.
• 30:23
  Dayna Roselli: But I I've heard through the grapevine that they actually uh really fill up when it comes to occupancy, but a lot of people from there go to conventions.
• 30:32
  Dayna Roselli: And so it may seem like during the day that it's not that busy.
• 30:36
  Dayna Roselli: And I think what a great idea then fill the hotel pools while people are at conventions and stuff with locals and non-hotel guests and hotel guests, you know, and have a great, a great vibe.
• 30:47
  Dayna Roselli: And then they're what, you know, they're getting food orders and drink orders and all that.
• 30:50
  Dayna Roselli: You might as well, it's a just a great idea.
• 30:52
  Dayna Roselli: I love it.
• 30:53
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, they're also going to announce an adults uh only pool concept, apparently, this season, which will be announced later this spring.
• 31:01
  Dayna Roselli: So stay tuned for that.
• 31:02
  Dayna Roselli: They put that at the end of the release.
• 31:04
  Dayna Roselli: I like that too.
• 31:05
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 31:05
  Sean McAllister: Well done.
• 31:06
  Dayna Roselli: All right.
• 31:07
