• 3:40
  Sean McAllister: Ideas at Vegas-Revealed is our email address.
• 3:46
  Sean McAllister: Um let's connect and chat.
• 3:48
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, let's get right uh into Vegas news.
• 3:50
  Dayna Roselli: The Vegas Loop, oh my gosh, huge deal, right?
• 3:54
  Dayna Roselli: We've talked about it before, and now an expansion has already been approved.
• 4:00
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and we've talked about it here.
• 4:01
  Sean McAllister: We've taken rides on the Vegas Loop.
• 4:03
  Sean McAllister: Essentially, this is a tunnel system underneath Las Vegas where Tesla cars drive you to your destination.
• 4:11
  Sean McAllister: Well, the Clark County Commission has just approved 25 additional miles of tunnel that will connect from downtown Las Vegas all the way to the Silverton, which is really far south.
• 4:28
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, way, way south of the Las Vegas sign and town square.
• 4:32
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, awesome that there could be transportation, public transportation to get down there.
• 4:38
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, we definitely need this, that's for sure.
• 4:40
  Dayna Roselli: 18 new stations would be included.
• 4:43
  Dayna Roselli: You and I took the one that goes from Resorts World to the convention center, uh very small area.
• 4:48
  Dayna Roselli: So we we have one now mostly centered around the convention center.
• 4:53
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 4:54
  Dayna Roselli: And we thought, you know, the plan is to test this out and then expand.
• 4:57
  Dayna Roselli: And it looks like it's already it's gotten the go.
• 5:00
  Dayna Roselli: A station is also approved at UNLV and Harry Reed Airport to the east as well.
• 5:05
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, so just about every uh major resort would have a station stop.
• 5:11
  Sean McAllister: Um, if the resort doesn't have a station stop, the one next door will, pretty much.
• 5:17
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 5:17
  Sean McAllister: So it essentially connects the entire area around the Las Vegas Resort Corridor, even stretching over uh near Allegiant Stadium and the proposed site for uh the Oakland A's ballpark.
• 5:30
  Sean McAllister: So this is infrastructure that is needed.
• 5:34
  Sean McAllister: So it's good to see that plans are moving forward for this.
• 5:37
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and we can get a little more into detail maybe at another time because people do often ask, like they don't understand how it works.
• 5:43
  Dayna Roselli: Um, briefly, you get into a car, you're in a tunnel, and you go one way, and then you come back that same way and kind of the cars take turns.
• 5:52
  Dayna Roselli: It's it's interesting.
• 5:53
  Dayna Roselli: If you want to see a video of how it works, go to our Instagram page.
• 5:57
  Dayna Roselli: We have it there.
• 5:57
  Dayna Roselli: We also have it on our TikTok and I believe our YouTube too.
• 6:00
  Dayna Roselli: But Sean and I take the ride, we shoot some video inside of it, and you can actually see for yourself how it works.
• 6:07
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 6:07
  Sean McAllister: Hey, turning to music now.
• 6:09
  Sean McAllister: Uh, the chicks are launching a sixth night engagement over at the backed theater at Planet Hollywood.
• 6:18
  Sean McAllister: Three of those shows have essentially already happened, and it's good to have them here.
• 6:23
  Sean McAllister: There's a lot of energy and excitement surrounding these shows.
• 6:25
  Dayna Roselli: Well, and a lot of people still don't realize the chicks are form formally the Dixie Chicks.
• 6:32
  Dayna Roselli: I wrote to my friend and I said, Do you want to go see the chicks with me?
• 6:34
  Dayna Roselli: And she's like, I've never heard of them.
• 6:35
  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, the Dixie Chicks, and she's like, Oh.
• 6:38
  Dayna Roselli: So, you know, they have changed their name, so that's who we're talking about.
• 6:42
  Dayna Roselli: Formally the Dixie Chicks.
• 6:43
  Dayna Roselli: The chicks are, yeah, at the back theater and they have more shows May 10th, 12th, and 13th.
• 6:49
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I think it's gonna be a fun show to see, Sean, because we've seen a lot of solo country artists in that room.
• 6:56
  Dayna Roselli: Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert, Shania Twain.
• 6:59
  Dayna Roselli: But it'll be good to see like a well, I don't even want to say a duo.
• 7:03
  Dayna Roselli: It's a trio, right?
• 7:04
  Dayna Roselli: It is.
• 7:05
  Sean McAllister: And I think that they have uh a lot of uh energy, they bring a lot of showmanship to the stage anyway, and with their own mini residency of sorts, I think that they're going to really pump up the crowd.
• 7:21
  Sean McAllister: And you know, Dana, we've talked here on Vegas Revealed about how huge country music has become here in Las Vegas.
• 7:29
  Sean McAllister: There's always been a presence, but you know, now more than ever, we are kind of like Nash Vegas.
• 7:35
  Dayna Roselli: I know we are.
• 7:36
  Dayna Roselli: People are always talking about it and excited about all the artists that come in, the live bands, the live music.
• 7:42
  Dayna Roselli: And now we have Nashville Unplugged back this time at Mandalay Bay.
• 7:48
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, making its return.
• 7:49
  Sean McAllister: Aaron Benward bringing Nashville Unplugged back to rhythm and riffs over at Mandalay Bay.
• 7:55
  Sean McAllister: And Aaron is joining us.
• 7:57
  Sean McAllister: How's it going, man?
• 7:58
  Sean McAllister: It's been a minute.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_02: What's up?
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_02: What's up?
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_02: It has been a minute.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_02: Minute that turned into months, it turned into maybe a couple of years.
• 8:04
  Sean McAllister: No kidding.
• 8:05
  Sean McAllister: No kidding.
• 8:06
  Sean McAllister: But listen, it's great to have Nashville Unplugged back.
• 8:10
  Sean McAllister: I know, you know, both Dana and I being longtime residents here in Las Vegas.
• 8:16
  Sean McAllister: We know that Nashville Unplugged had been a fixture at Mandalay Bay.
• 8:21
  Sean McAllister: But for people who are just hearing about Nashville Unplugged for the first time, um, explain what exactly it is because this is a really cool concept.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_02: You think about the movie business, right?
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_02: There would be no movie business, there would be no movies or TV shows without somebody who wrote it.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, there'd be no actors, there'd be no careers like that.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_02: There would be no uh music business, no recording artists or record labels without songwriters.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_02: And so what National Unplugged is it's all about really allowing people to experience the who I call the unsung heroes of the m of of music.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_02: Um I mean, goodness, I you know, I've been blessed to be a part of this amazing small tight-knit community of of songwriters for almost 25 years or more.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_02: And the guys and girls that that are my friends, but also the the ones that write the soundtracks for a lot of these songs, um always tied to amazing lives, amazing stories, amazing experiences that you might you might happen to hear on the radio or on TV through the voice of the uh of a of a Luke Bryan or a Garth Brooks you know or a Carrie Underwood, but it's there's there's oftentimes people behind those songs that nobody gets to see and hear from, and oftentimes they're even better, in my opinion, than the artists themselves because the genesis of these things come from their being.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_02: And so National Plug is all about the song and the songwriter, where we sit on stools with our guitars and tell the stories and interact and and it really um allow the audience to to be in a have an immersive experience in just what we do in a kind of a living room style setting, very approachable, very interactive, and very improvisational, and we're all speaking the same language of music on that stage, and so people get to be a part of that.
• 10:02
  Dayna Roselli: Well, and I was just gonna say, do you guys I I'm assuming probably talk and tell some stories about, you know, each song you're gonna do or what you're going to do, or if there's any background or that kind of thing?
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_02: Absolutely.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, you know, it's it's really about ultimately the songs are the vehicles to allow people to just experience life in the most authentic form.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_02: And what I mean by that is, you know, when we tell our stories, no matter if you guys telling your stories here on the podcast or anybody listening, when they tell their stories to others, nobody can argue with that.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_02: And and the truth of our of our lives are the things that can really make impacts on people's the struggles, the difficulties, the mountaintops, the valleys, the heartbreak, the love.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_02: And um, that's really what then transcends everything and becomes a song.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_02: And so uh that's what that's what that's what we do every single Friday night and I live back.
• 10:52
  Sean McAllister: And and this is uh 8 to 9:30 over at Rhythm and Riffs.
• 10:56
  Sean McAllister: And as you just mentioned, it is kind of like sitting down in in a living room to hear these stories.
• 11:03
  Sean McAllister: It's intimate, but it's also not a traditional theater environment.
• 11:08
  Sean McAllister: Like you guys are giving an entire vibe to the casino floor because you're not walled in, right?
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_02: You know, when National Plug started 14 years ago, actually, we started at Green Valley Ranch, one of the station casino properties, and uh made our way around a few of those properties over the years, and then um came down to the strip at Mandalay Bay because of my relationship with Chuck Rowling there.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_02: And when he first showed me the room, one, I'd always had a dream to be on the strip.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_02: Two, never did I envision it would be the the a type of room that I'm that I'm in now rather than a risk because it is open to the casino.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_02: And thought, you know what?
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_02: The volume of the casino, the games, you know, because everybody's a winner at Mandalay Bay.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_02: The games uh the games that are you know, the the noise.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_02: I thought, man, my my show is such a listening kind of environment.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_02: But I gotta say, bro, it's it's it's amazing.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_02: Every single week it's it's it's astonishing.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_02: People come in that are there, uh, they stay.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_02: They don't come in and out, they come and be and they're literally a part of it's almost like everything outside of our little uh rhythm and riffs is blocked out because of what's going on on the stage.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_02: And um it's been really, really cool to see that.
• 12:14
  Dayna Roselli: It's so true.
• 12:15
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, and it really does, like Sean said, bring life.
• 12:18
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, I love walking by there and and hearing live in.
• 12:21
  Dayna Roselli: It's like everyone kind of wants to be a part of it.
• 12:23
  Dayna Roselli: It's like, what's going on?
• 12:24
  Dayna Roselli: How can I get in?
• 12:25
  Dayna Roselli: And then you're like, I gotta get in next week, you know, if there's not a seat available now, people can stand around.
• 12:30
  Dayna Roselli: So I love this whole concept, and it's free, right?
• 12:33
  Dayna Roselli: People can actually come in and just sit down.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, it is absolutely free.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_02: And and you know, some like there's another concern that I had initially was like, all right, so everybody has a perceived value of something if it's free.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but man, you know what it is, and I've and that I love is like anyone at any time can come.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_02: And it's not about you know, if you can afford the ticket price or not.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_02: Come bring your family, bring your bring, come hang with us because it's it's it's it's not it's a show for everyone.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_02: It really, really is, you know, and um every show is different.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_02: That's one of the cool things about it, is like not only is it nothing like another strip, in addition to that, you know, this is not a rehearsed thing.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_02: It's not like we have a scripted thing or it's not the same church show every single day.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_02: Nothing against them.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_02: I love them, by the way, search shows.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_02: But it's it's just really us being in the moment, being present, using the vehicle and the of music as kind of our way-in to all come together in a community type environment.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_02: This, you know, the the uh this past Friday was an unbelievable night where as far as back I could see, there were people around all standing around the outsides on the casino.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_02: And just literally us in one kind of one voice, one heart, if you will, being there and experiencing the moment for about 90 minutes and not having any type of outside uh uh distractions.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_02: And it turned out to be a beautiful night.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_02: So uh I'm hoping that this Friday will be the same.
• 13:57
  Dayna Roselli: I wanted to ask you about Pickle Jar, the app.
• 13:59
  Dayna Roselli: Now, this is an app where people can actually watch the performances live after you guys are done.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, totally.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_02: Pickle Jar is is a new and new partnership that that um that we have here as we kind of as we're relaunching National Plug, and I'm really, really excited about it because up until up until this this this National Plug 2.0, I'm calling it, we've only been really in the walls of the casinos we've been in and really kind of been, you know, about the people that are staying there and or the locals that are in Las Vegas that know about it.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_02: Now, because of pickle jar and our partnership with them, we are able to literally be seen and experienced across the world.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_02: And my my dream, my goal is that instead of people just kind of happening upon National Plug on a Friday night, that they actually begin to to plan their Fridays when they come to visit Las Vegas around National Plug.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_02: And I think this is picklejar is gonna help us do that.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_02: So basically what it is is if you can't be there on a Friday night at eight o'clock, or when maybe you're visiting Las Vegas and you leave and go back to your hometown, you can tune in uh live Friday nights at eight um on the pickle jar app, which I love the name.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_02: Me too.
• 15:03
  Dayna Roselli: I love it.
• 15:03
  Dayna Roselli: I was just gonna tell you that.
• 15:04
  Dayna Roselli: I think it's an agreeable name.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I love the name.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_02: And it's it's under national plug on the pickle jar app.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_02: And it's it's it's literally you can watch it or go back and see it out if you if you are there maybe on a Friday night.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_02: You go home and a couple months later you go, man, I want to go see those guys again.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_02: Well, go back on the pickle jar app and check it out.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm really, really excited about the partnership we ever discussed.
• 15:22
  Sean McAllister: Uh so pickle jar is like uh honky tonk right in your pocket, and and rhythm and rhythm and riffs is like the closest thing in Las Vegas that you get to the Broadway honky tonk that you find in Nashville.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_02: I think so, man.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I think so.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_02: I think Manila Bay and uh they're they're doing a really, really smart thing here.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I think the way they're positioning kind of how what setting themselves apart when it comes to the entertainment side of what they're doing is not only really smart, but obviously very intentional.
• 15:53
  Sean McAllister: Separate from Nashville Unplugged, what do you make of I I guess the country music resurgence in Las Vegas?
• 16:02
  Sean McAllister: Not that it's ever gone away, but I think it's bigger than ever.
• 16:06
  Sean McAllister: We, you know, as you mentioned, we have Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Garth Brooks, uh Miranda Lambert, all major headliners.
• 16:14
  Sean McAllister: The chicks are here now.
• 16:16
  Sean McAllister: Uh what do you make of that?
• 16:19
  Sean McAllister: Is the is the popularity of country music bigger than ever?
• 16:22
  Sean McAllister: And Vegas is just reflecting that?
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_02: Absolutely.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I think country music is bigger than ever and will continue to be that because of a few things, in my opinion.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_02: I think one, you know, I think like I have kids my kids are 22, 26, my daughters are 22 and 26, and my son is 28.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_02: And they they they don't listen to music because of genre, they listen to music because they because a song or the artist connects with them.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_02: So they they'll have a they'll have a Carriana Wood record right next to a freaking, you know, edge and on their playlists.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_02: And I think that's why it's it's kind of becoming genreless because of how much music is out there and how we consume it second to that.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_02: The fact that country music has been has allowed itself to evolve with this the younger generation and having sonic influences from other types of music, i.e.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_02: pop, hip hop, type of base.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_02: Florida Georgia Line did a great did a great thing for country music, in my opinion.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_02: Big enriched before them kind of ushered in this thing that began to open its eyes and ears and arms to more than just a steel guitar, acoustic guitar, bass and drums, and a great story.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_02: And um, I think that helps it.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_02: And then thirdly, lastly, I think it's so approachable.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_02: Again, going back to the story, i we are we it everybody hungers for something that they can they can latch on to.
• 17:42
  SPEAKER_02: And although there's some amazing pop records and hip-hop records and great music, it's more about the vibe and the feel and the groove and the all the things that go along with it when when country music is all about the song.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_02: It is all about the lyrics, the melody, and um and how it connects.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_02: And so I think those are things as we get more and more detached, unfortunately, through technology and the this this phone that I'm holding my hand talking to you on.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_02: We can become more and more attached through things like uh country music and community and things like National and Plot, where we can get together, put our phones down for a good 90 minutes or more, and just be present and allow the music to speak.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_02: And I think that's why country music is so big.
• 18:25
  Dayna Roselli: Well, I love it.
• 18:26
  Dayna Roselli: And you make such a good point.
• 18:27
  Dayna Roselli: I remember growing up, like friends' parents, it's like they either listened to country and that's it, or they didn't.
• 18:34
  Dayna Roselli: You was like, oh, so-and-so's mom listens to country.
• 18:36
  Dayna Roselli: You know, you're right, but now everyone listens to everything.
• 18:39
  Dayna Roselli: It really has changed, and that's such a good point, you know.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, absolutely.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's a great thing.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, why do we I mean think about it?

  Dayna Roselli: I mean, so much stuff.
• 24:06
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my gosh.
• 24:07
  Dayna Roselli: You and your friends came over and we hung out at the pool.
• 24:10
  Dayna Roselli: We did ghost bar one night and partied with like 40 friends.
• 24:14
  Dayna Roselli: You know, we were celebrating your husband's birthday and it was a 40th.
• 24:17
  Dayna Roselli: So we did a lot of things.
• 24:19
  Dayna Roselli: But and then I was like, okay, I'm done.
• 24:20
  Dayna Roselli: And then my friend says, Will you go to Tao Beach with me?
• 24:23
  Dayna Roselli: I want to see Sophie Tucker.
• 24:24
  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, Well, yeah, because I haven't been to Tao Beach in forever.
• 24:27
  Dayna Roselli: And like, I'll go for a little while.
• 24:29
  Dayna Roselli: It'll be fun, you know?
• 24:30
  Dayna Roselli: So my friend Perez Hilton, he recently moved to town.
• 24:32
  Dayna Roselli: A lot of people know Perez as the OG original blogger, but he's recently moved to Las Vegas.
• 24:37
  Dayna Roselli: I do want to talk to him sometime on the podcast, too, about because he has three kids and he's really been embracing the family things here in Las Vegas.
• 24:46
  Dayna Roselli: And he has some great ideas.
• 24:47
  Dayna Roselli: So we should talk to him sometime on the podcast.
• 24:50
  Dayna Roselli: But anyway, uh every now and then he gets away from the kids.
• 24:52
  Dayna Roselli: And we went to Tau Beach.
• 24:53
  Dayna Roselli: So we went to see Sophie Tucker, which is this duo that, you know, they've been around a while.
• 24:59
  Dayna Roselli: I don't follow like electronic music a lot, but what I loved about them is they were electronic, but but they played like a lot of familiar songs, like some gaga and like and mixed them up.
• 25:09
  Dayna Roselli: And, you know, Sophie got up there and she sang and they had dancers.
• 25:14
  Dayna Roselli: And you know what?
• 25:15
  Dayna Roselli: Tau Beach was great.
• 25:16
  Dayna Roselli: The vibe was great.
• 25:17
  Dayna Roselli: The people like watching and listening were into it.
• 25:21
  Dayna Roselli: They were all just loving watching them do their thing.
• 25:25
  Dayna Roselli: And uh it was just like everything was great.
• 25:28
  Dayna Roselli: Though the behavior was appropriate, all of it was just like people were there for the vibe for a Sunday pool day to listen to some good music, to watch some dancing and watch Sophie Tucker do their thing.
• 25:40
  Dayna Roselli: I love them, and Tau Beach is just one of the many day clubs that we have here in Las Vegas, and it's something that nobody else does.
• 25:46
  Dayna Roselli: I was talking to the producer from the station that we do our segment in LA, and he was saying, you know, we don't have anything like that in LA.
• 25:53
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 25:54
  Dayna Roselli: He said Las Vegas has embraced and mastered the pool club, the day club.
• 26:02
  Sean McAllister: I mean, there is nothing else like it.
• 26:05
  Sean McAllister: If you have not experienced a Las Vegas day club, you really do need to experience it at least once you do to see what it's all about.
• 26:14
  Sean McAllister: It is a scene and a vibe, and it's over the top.
• 26:20
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it is.
• 26:21
  Dayna Roselli: And Tau Beach, I feel like was one of the original ones, and then they closed and redid it.
• 26:25
  Dayna Roselli: And so the space is a little bigger.
• 26:26
  Dayna Roselli: I love what they did over there.
• 26:27
  Dayna Roselli: It's just a beautiful setting at the Venetian, and I highly recommend it.
• 26:31
  Dayna Roselli: So if you want to go to any of our pool clubs, uh now's the time.
• 26:35
  Dayna Roselli: The weather's perfect before it gets really, really hot.
• 26:38
  Dayna Roselli: But then when it does, people will be out there no matter what.
• 26:42
  Sean McAllister: They certainly will.
• 26:44
  Sean McAllister: Uh hey, we have Mother's Day coming up, and we wanted to run through some options if you're wanting to take mom out for a nice Mother's Day brunch.
• 26:54
  Sean McAllister: Um, and one of them is actually over at the Venetian at Buddy V's Restaurante.
• 27:01
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, this one is good because I've gone to a Sunday brunch there and I know how good it was because I keep I always keep thinking about it.
• 27:08
  Dayna Roselli: I always kind of think about it every now and then, how I need to get back because it was so good.
• 27:11
  Dayna Roselli: But Buddy V's is a great spot inside the Venetian, and you know what?
• 27:15
  Dayna Roselli: It it faces the strip, all glass windows, which is a great view.
• 27:19
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and it's a beautiful space, but they are doing something that we thought was a pretty good deal.
• 27:24
  Dayna Roselli: $58 per adult,$25 per child.
• 27:28
  Dayna Roselli: It's 10:30 to 2 30, and it's a Mother's Day brunch, and they're gonna have all of the cake boss's Italian favorites from seven food stations set up throughout the restaurant.
• 27:40
  Dayna Roselli: So go there and enjoy.
• 27:42
  Dayna Roselli: 58 bucks isn't too bad.
• 27:44
  Sean McAllister: It's not.
• 27:45
  Sean McAllister: And the Italian food at Buddy V's is delicious.
• 27:51
  Sean McAllister: I've had meals over there.
• 27:52
  Sean McAllister: The desserts, you cannot beat.

  Sean McAllister: We just had a tray of Buddy V's desserts at my husband's birthday celebration, and those were great.
• 28:02
  Sean McAllister: I know.
• 28:02
  Sean McAllister: We're still picking on them.
• 28:04
  Dayna Roselli: You keep asking me, do you want a cannoli?
• 28:05
  Sean McAllister: I want a cannoli, want a lobster.
• 28:06
  Dayna Roselli: I'm like, it's noon.
• 28:08
  Dayna Roselli: I can't have a cannoli at noon.
• 28:09
  Sean McAllister: Hey, listen, if that's your calories for the day, so be it.
• 28:13
  Dayna Roselli: Another great option is over at the win Las Vegas.

  Dayna Roselli: And she actually, her and my dad always stay there when they come visit.
• 28:24
  Dayna Roselli: But they are doing a butler brunch for Mother's Day over at La Cave, which is a beautiful space too.
• 28:31
  Dayna Roselli: And this is$65 per person, Sean.

  Dayna Roselli: So it's kind of different than that.

• 28:43
  Dayna Roselli: And so you remain seated, they're gonna continuously like tray pass these items, made fresh from the kitchen.
• 28:50
  Dayna Roselli: What a great Mother's Day experience that would be.

  Sean McAllister: That really would.

  Sean McAllister: That's a that's a unique way of serving up brunch, too.
• 28:57
  Sean McAllister: I like that.
• 28:58
  Sean McAllister: Uh, another unique spot right on the strip in the heart of the Las Vegas corridor is Giata at the Cromwell.
• 29:07
  Sean McAllister: And if you've never been to Giata, they have these windows that kind of open up like a garage door almost.
• 29:14
  Sean McAllister: And on nice days, even when there's a slight breeze, they open those windows and it's almost like you're dining al fresco outside.

  Dayna Roselli: The Bacchanal buffet is very popular over at Caesar's Palace.

• 30:44
  Sean McAllister: Hey, uh, but if your mom, if she doesn't have a mild sense of humor, if she can get a little raunchy, you might want to take her to a comedy show.
• 30:54
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 30:54
  Dayna Roselli: And now Nikki Glacer might not be for mom.
• 30:57
  Dayna Roselli: Well, well, but that's okay because she's not there that weekend.
• 30:59
  Dayna Roselli: But Nikki Glacer and David Spade will be back at the Venetian um in June and uh, well, June 30th and July 1st, September 29th and 30th, and then November 16th and 17th.

  Dayna Roselli: I haven't laughed that hard in a while.
• 31:16
  Dayna Roselli: My face hurt.

• 31:40
  Dayna Roselli: David Spade was hilarious.
• 31:42
  Dayna Roselli: I have never seen David Spade do stand-up before, and I loved his delivery and his jokes, and he was actually surprisingly somewhat clean.
• 31:50
  Dayna Roselli: Really?

  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, yeah.
• 31:51
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it was it was easy to listen to.

  Dayna Roselli: She came out first.
• 31:58
  Dayna Roselli: I wasn't sure if they were going to do something like together or separate.
• 32:00
  Dayna Roselli: So they have an opener, and then Nikki comes out and does stand-up, and then David comes out and does stand-up.
• 32:05
  Dayna Roselli: And it's fun because Nikki, he always talks to Nikki, who's kind of standing off to the side at backstage.
• 32:10
  Dayna Roselli: So she sits there and watches his stand-up and he watches hers.
• 32:13
  Dayna Roselli: So it's kind of fun.

  Dayna Roselli: And actually, they donated uh$25,000 to help for research for the disease that Carrie had and passed away from uh many years ago now.
• 33:48
  Dayna Roselli: And I thought that was such a great touch for the Palms to do that.
• 33:52
  Dayna Roselli: And on a lighter note, though, you know, they wanted to open that space again because people loved it.
• 33:58
  Dayna Roselli: It's at Palms Place.

  Dayna Roselli: But this place has an indoor and outdoor.
• 34:09
  Dayna Roselli: So there's a pool area, and then there's an enclosed area and a bar.
• 34:12
  Dayna Roselli: It's a beautiful space.

• 35:16
  Sean McAllister: Absolutely.
• 35:16
  Sean McAllister: Hey, uh, my tip this week is also uh restaurant-oriented.
• 35:21
  Sean McAllister: It uh revolves around the Italian American Club, which we've spoken about here on Vegas Reveal before.
• 35:28
  Sean McAllister: It is a classic old Vegas vibe, live music, uh, the service, top-notch and very personalized, the kind of service you don't get at chain restaurants or restaurants that are owned by corporate entities.
• 35:45
  Sean McAllister: Food, delicious.
• 35:48
  Sean McAllister: But our tip is that a lot of people think you have to be a member of the Italian American Club in order to go there.
• 35:56
  Sean McAllister: That is not the case.
• 35:58
  Sean McAllister: It is open to the public, make a reservation, go in there.
• 36:04
  Sean McAllister: It is it is a vibe that I have not experienced before, and I loved every second of it.
• 36:13
  Dayna Roselli: You know, I kind of suggested this to you, and you were like, Yeah, and you had never been.
• 36:17
  Dayna Roselli: And really, everyone, besides like maybe one or uh uh two other people in our party hadn't all of them have never been and had never been, and they all loved it, right?
• 36:26
  Dayna Roselli: It's it's we can definitely with confidence say they all loved it.
• 36:30
  Dayna Roselli: It was a memorable night.
• 36:31
  Sean McAllister: Loved it.
• 36:32
  Sean McAllister: We ate in the we were seated in the VIP room.
• 36:35
  Sean McAllister: This is the room where where Frank Sinatra used to sit when he would be a guest at the Italian American Club.
• 36:41
  Sean McAllister: By the way, it opened back in 1961, so it's been in operation here in Las Vegas since then.
• 36:48
  Sean McAllister: Uh there's a a back room where Sinatra would, you know, sneak back and play cards after dinner late night.
• 36:55
  Sean McAllister: And this place is full of history.
• 36:58
  Sean McAllister: It is a must when you come to Las Vegas.
• 37:01
  Dayna Roselli: Live music always in the lounge for free.
• 37:04
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, they have shows in the other room that sometimes are ticketed, but that's different from if you sit in the restaurant and bar part in that whole dining room area, there's always live music.
• 37:13
  Dayna Roselli: So it's wonderful and they're so fun.
• 37:16
  Dayna Roselli: You'll see like the owner and some of the workers hop on stage.
• 37:19
  Dayna Roselli: Sometimes they're special guests.
• 37:20
  Dayna Roselli: It is a blast.
• 37:21
  Dayna Roselli: They they even sing that's what friends are for for us because we were with friends, and I loved it.
• 37:28
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but yeah, you're right though.
• 37:30
  Dayna Roselli: Everyone thinks because it's the Italian American club that you have to be a club member.
• 37:35
  Dayna Roselli: Um, there is a membership for like, and they have like different kinds of like lunches and speakers and different kinds of perks for club members.
• 37:42
  Dayna Roselli: But no, you can go, and we highly recommend you make a reservation because it fills up.
• 37:46
  Sean McAllister: It does.
• 37:46
  Sean McAllister: And by the way, they have a great outdoor patio area in the back that's a perfect place if you're doing a banquet or if you're here for a wedding.
• 37:56
  Sean McAllister: Keep that in mind.
• 37:57
  Sean McAllister: The Italian American Club.
• 37:58
