• 1:02
  Dayna Roselli: And one of them is our interview that we did with Lunel that we've been holding on to.
• 1:05
  Dayna Roselli: We're like, wait a minute, we haven't run this on the audio podcast yet.

  Sean McAllister: She is.
• 1:11
  Sean McAllister: We're like, you know what?

  Dayna Roselli: She really is.
• 1:21

• 1:24
  Dayna Roselli: We went over to Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club to watch her stand-up on her birthday.
• 1:28
  Dayna Roselli: So that was fun.
• 1:29
  Dayna Roselli: We did it, it's about been about maybe two months now, but um, and we had actually interviewed her before, but never seen the show.
• 1:37
  Dayna Roselli: And she delivers Oh my gosh.

  Dayna Roselli: Her storytelling, her demeanor, all of it's so good.
• 1:45
  Sean McAllister: It's in her sound effects.
• 1:49
  Dayna Roselli: She is just a who.
• 1:51
  Dayna Roselli: She really is.
• 1:52
  Dayna Roselli: And, you know, it was really fun watching her in Hacks this week, the one that dropped on Max, uh, well, I guess it would be last week or a week ago, a week and a half ago.
• 2:00
  Dayna Roselli: Um, because this one episode was really dedicated around Las Vegas.
• 2:03
  Dayna Roselli: You know, the show started in Vegas, but now they're in Los Angeles because Gene Smart uh got her own show late night and she's about to start that.
• 2:12
  Dayna Roselli: So Deborah Vance, she plays Deborah Vance.
• 2:14
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, they go to Vegas for a little like uh retreat weekend to try and get the you know, the writers creative and and sit in a conference room and think about ideas to write for her opening show for late night.
• 2:26
  Sean McAllister: And what better place to go than Las Vegas.
• 2:29
  Sean McAllister: Than Las Vegas and Fountain Blue.
• 2:31
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 2:32
  Dayna Roselli: So they went to Fountain Blue and it was great.
• 2:34
  Dayna Roselli: You got to see so much of the Fountain Blue.
• 2:35
  Dayna Roselli: That was really fun.
• 2:36
  Dayna Roselli: They pulled up to the outside, they had a whole scene in the casino.
• 2:39
  Dayna Roselli: I don't want to ruin it for everyone.
• 2:40
  Dayna Roselli: So I'm just uh, you know, but we also saw in there um, you know, uh this was really funny.
• 2:47
  Dayna Roselli: There is one part at Live Las Vegas where Gene Smart, Deborah Vance, gets behind the DJ booth and starts DJing, and that was it for me.
• 2:54
  Dayna Roselli: It was a great scene.
• 2:56
  Dayna Roselli: And they even hit the Las Vegas Speedway.
• 2:58
  Dayna Roselli: That was really fun too to watch.
• 3:00
  Dayna Roselli: So a lot of different parts of Vegas are in this episode.
• 3:03
  Dayna Roselli: If you love things that are centered around Vegas, give it a watch.
• 3:06
  Dayna Roselli: Lunel is in this episode, and she's been in episodes in the past, but uh, we talked to her about hacks in the past, and also this one time that you went to interview her, which we're gonna run here in just a second.
• 3:18
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and Lunel, she is the real deal for sure.
• 3:21
  Sean McAllister: We talked to her about her role on this Emmy winning show, also about the possibility of getting her own late night show someday.
• 3:30
  Sean McAllister: Fingers crossed.
• 3:32
  Dayna Roselli: She also cranked the siren at a golden nights game recently, and we saw that on Instagram, so we had to ask her about that.
• 3:39
  Dayna Roselli: You know what?
• 3:39
  Dayna Roselli: She said she had no idea that hockey was so fun.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: That was a gas because I never thought I was going to enjoy hockey because I don't like to be cold.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: But I found that if you're in the cheap seats, you're down front because it's freezing down there.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_00: If you got money, you might have a suite everywhere up here, chilling and stuff.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: And I was up to M VIP, and they had a Van Knight, and they got a dragon, and they got showgirls and stuff, and the Golden Knights have got to be the best hockey team because they got all the best stuff.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_00: Well, when I came here, I didn't know anything about hockey.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_00: And I still don't know everything, but I'm having a lot of fun.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: And how hard is it to crank that siren?
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: I almost threw my shoulder out right on camera, but I held it together.
• 4:33
  Sean McAllister: That's true professional right there.
• 4:35
  Sean McAllister: Go through the pain and get acupuncture later.
• 4:37
  Sean McAllister: Get her done.
• 4:39
  Sean McAllister: Get her done.
• 4:40
  Sean McAllister: And we have uh season four of Hacks.
• 4:42
  Sean McAllister: What can you what can you tell us?
• 4:45
  Sean McAllister: You don't have to give us any plot lines, but but shooting the new season here in Las Vegas, once again, uh what's that like having that just be such a beloved show at this point and being part of that?
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: Well, A, kudos to the writers and the creators of hacks, because typically in Hollywood they don't write for older women anymore.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: Then when they finally did write something for older women, look what happened.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: Emmy after Emmy after Emmy after Emmy after Emmy.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_00: The fact that it's about a female comic that's based in Las Vegas, I feel like it's my life.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: I feel like they're doing my life, you know, and so I have a very big connection with the show.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_00: Working with Hannah, who is Lorraine Newman's daughter, who I grew up on her mom and started a night live original cast.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_00: And then, you know, Gene Smart, designing women whoever think I would share any scenes with her.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: Like, what are the odds?
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_00: You know?
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: And I get to do that, and uh, everybody gets the law, and the directors are great, and the writing is it's amazing.
• 5:53
  Sean McAllister: It's pretty damn good.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: Baby, that is a funny show.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: Funny and smart and touching and everything.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_00: I'm proud of the affiliate.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: I hope they let me go to the Emmys lecture, though.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_00: I hope so.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: They didn't let me go.
• 6:05
  Sean McAllister: Huh.
• 6:06
  Sean McAllister: I know that there has been talk about uh a late night show.
• 6:11
  Sean McAllister: What are the what are the developments on that?
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I'm gonna be very honest with you.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: I've I've hit a couple of walls and I've had people who've had late night shows say that I could not, that it wasn't gonna happen.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_00: Because actually, I wanted to be on network TV just late night, not on the streaming, you know, like how edgy can we get it?
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_00: Carson was pretty edgy if you look back at what he was doing at the time he was doing.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: They were drinking real alcohol and everything like that, right on TV.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_00: What's wrong with that?
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: So, you know, I sort of wanna have something like that.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: But if I have to stream, that's fine as long as I can just be me, and maybe that's where I belong more better to be able to really be me.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_00: So the the the it comes down to if nobody is able to help me get one or do one for me, I'm gonna have to shoot it myself.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_00: I do like the kids, and I'll become a YouTube star.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_00: Dang it.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I'll be TikTok viral.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_00: Whatever which way it happens, it's gonna be amazing.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it will be.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it will be.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: It's gonna happen.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_00: I I I have, you know, it has been shown to me that it's gonna happen one way or another.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_00: And when I put my mind to it, like I never wanted to be anything else.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_00: I never wanted to be anything else.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_00: I always wanted to be an entertainment from the time I was probably like 14 years old, maybe a little.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: Never had a plan B.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_00: Never, ever.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_00: This was it, and so I have done that.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_00: And so if I want this show, I will have it.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_00: It's a make-it-work thing.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, it is.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: Now, what are you gonna be doing?
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_00: Because I'm gonna need a co-star.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_00: I will be there, I will be your Ed McMahon.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: Would you?
• 7:55
  Sean McAllister: I absolutely would.
• 7:56
  Sean McAllister: Would you drink real liquor with me?
• 7:58
  Sean McAllister: I absolutely would.
• 8:00
  Sean McAllister: Some whiskey and a glass, and I'm there.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: Son it, sign it, got it, time it, sign it, not it.
• 8:06
  Sean McAllister: Well, listen, I am wishing that for you for your birthday this year.
• 8:11
  Sean McAllister: Happy birthday.
• 8:11
  Sean McAllister: It's great to see you as always.
• 8:13
  Dayna Roselli: Thank you.
• 8:14
  Dayna Roselli: Thank you so much.
• 8:16
  Dayna Roselli: And that was a lot of fun.
• 8:17
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, she's trying to steal you to be her late night host.
• 8:19
  Dayna Roselli: I was like, oh, I was like, you know what?
• 8:21
  Dayna Roselli: You've got to do that if that happens.
• 8:23
  Dayna Roselli: We'll figure out a way to shoot Vegas Revealed around it.
• 8:25
  Sean McAllister: Well, she said she wants you to be a producer because she loves the female energy.
• 8:29
  Dayna Roselli: Which, hey, I'm all for.
• 8:31
  Dayna Roselli: It's about time.
• 8:31
  Dayna Roselli: I'm aging out anyway.
• 8:32
  Dayna Roselli: It's time for me to start going behind the camera.
• 8:35
  Dayna Roselli: So I love that.
• 8:37
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, if you want to see this interview, you can go to our YouTube channel.
• 8:40
  Dayna Roselli: It's at Vegas Revealed.
• 8:42
  Dayna Roselli: We put all our television shows on there, too.
• 8:45
  Dayna Roselli: They're about 23 minutes because we've got to throw in commercials and stuff for the actual TV version, but it's a quick watch and so much information and so many great interviews.
• 8:53
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it's worth it.
• 8:55
  Sean McAllister: All right, let's get to some tips now.
• 8:59
  Dayna Roselli: All right, let's talk Mother's Day because Vegas is actually a great place to celebrate Mother's Day, isn't it?
• 9:06
  Sean McAllister: It it is.
• 9:06
  Sean McAllister: I mean, it s for some people they think of Vegas and they think the nightclub, the day club scene.
• 9:12
  Sean McAllister: And who knows, maybe mom is into that.
• 9:14
  Sean McAllister: But if she's not, there is a wide variety of much more chill things that you can do that are actually like really nice.
• 9:23
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 9:23
  Dayna Roselli: And we have such beautiful things to visit, like the Bellagio Conservatory, you know, that's free and open 24-7.
• 9:30
  Dayna Roselli: You know, spend some time to take mom to see some of these things.
• 9:34
  Dayna Roselli: Like the Venetian at St.
• 9:35
  Dayna Roselli: Mark's Square is great.
• 9:37
  Dayna Roselli: The restaurants are great.
• 9:38
  Dayna Roselli: They usually have some singers in there.
• 9:41
  Dayna Roselli: They have uh gelato.
• 9:43
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, that could be a fun little afternoon with mom.
• 9:45
  Sean McAllister: And great picture spots too, not only at Bellagio, but also at Venetian.
• 9:49
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 9:49
  Sean McAllister: St.
• 9:50
  Sean McAllister: Mark's Square.
• 9:50
  Sean McAllister: Plus, you can go to the big waterfall atrium that's always pretty.
• 9:54
  Sean McAllister: Yes, a plaza.
• 9:55
  Sean McAllister: And they deck out their lobbies for springtime too.
• 9:58
  Dayna Roselli: And the gondola rides are always fun.
• 10:00
  Dayna Roselli: Splurge on a gondola ride, have someone sing to mom.
• 10:03
  Dayna Roselli: Feel like you're in Italy.
• 10:04
  Dayna Roselli: And another place you might want to take her, fly over Las Vegas.
• 10:08
  Dayna Roselli: It's a great experience.
• 10:10
  Dayna Roselli: They have you fly over Iceland if you want.
• 10:13
  Dayna Roselli: You could do Chicago, you could do the Canadian Rockies, you could do the great American West.
• 10:18
  Dayna Roselli: It's cool.
• 10:19
  Sean McAllister: And it's worth it.
• 10:20
  Sean McAllister: Last time, I've talked about this before.
• 10:23
  Sean McAllister: Uh, last time my in-laws were in town.
• 10:26
  Sean McAllister: We went over and did flyover, and they absolutely loved it and wanted to keep going back again and again.
• 10:32
  Sean McAllister: They were like, I could do this all day.
• 10:34
  Dayna Roselli: I know it's it is really cool.
• 10:36
  Dayna Roselli: You sit in your seat and it's just you literally feel like you're flying over these places and you see it from above and you you whip through and you hear the noises and you smell the smells.
• 10:47
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it is it's really cool.
• 10:49
  Dayna Roselli: They also have a a bar in there too, if you want to grab a drink.
• 10:53
  Dayna Roselli: They have a great gift shop with some really cool Las Vegas merchandise.
• 10:57
  Dayna Roselli: So flyover is right next to the Hard Rock Cafe across from Park MGM on the strip.
• 11:02
  Dayna Roselli: So that's an idea.
• 11:02
  Dayna Roselli: I think mom would love it.
• 11:04
  Dayna Roselli: My mom actually saw our piece that we did on the TV show, a flyover, and she was like, I want to go on that flyover thing.
• 11:10
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, so I think it does appeal to, like you said, it was the in-laws and and my mom.
• 11:14
  Dayna Roselli: So it's a great Mother's Day event thing.
• 11:16
  Sean McAllister: It is, and we have plenty of live entertainment uh over Mother's Day weekend as well, including Mr.
• 11:23
  Sean McAllister: Worldwide, Pitbull.
• 11:26
  Dayna Roselli: Pitbull is gonna be at the Fountain Blue Mother's Day weekend, both Friday and Saturday.
• 11:31
  Dayna Roselli: He also just announced new shows, by the way, I think in September.
• 11:34
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but yeah, that'll be fun uh at the Fountain Blue.
• 11:37
  Dayna Roselli: I'm taking my mom there.
• 11:38
  Dayna Roselli: So my mom's coming in for Mother's Day, and I'm taking her to Pitbull, which is why I thought of the idea.
• 11:44
  Dayna Roselli: Now, I was thinking like my mom likes pitbull because she does Zumba class and they play a lot of pit bull songs.
• 11:50
  Sean McAllister: Fireball.
• 11:52
  Dayna Roselli: But then the other day I was on with family and my cousins and stuff, and they're into pit bull too.
• 11:58
  Dayna Roselli: Really?
• 11:59
  Dayna Roselli: My aunt, yeah.
• 11:59
  Dayna Roselli: So I was like, everyone was like, oh my gosh, that sounds like so much fun.
• 12:02
  Dayna Roselli: I love pit bull.
• 12:03
  Dayna Roselli: And I feel like he's just likable all around.
• 12:05
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I've never heard anyone say they don't like pit bull songs or like him personally.
• 12:10
  Sean McAllister: Everyone's gonna be so envious of you and your mom.
• 12:13
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 12:13
  Dayna Roselli: So we're gonna be at Pitbull.
• 12:14
  Dayna Roselli: I'm excited for the show.
• 12:16
  Dayna Roselli: I've seen it at Plant Hollywood, but I've never seen it at Fountain Blue.
• 12:18
  Dayna Roselli: I'm spending the whole weekend at Fountain Blue, too.
• 12:21
  Dayna Roselli: They are helping me out with a treating mom to a bunch of stuff, so I'm so thankful.
• 12:25
  Dayna Roselli: I'm also taking her to Dita Von Tees.
• 12:28
  Dayna Roselli: And I think, again, she was watching our show and she said, I really like that interview you did with Dita.
• 12:34
  Dayna Roselli: Her show looks spectacular.
• 12:35
  Dayna Roselli: The costumes, I want to see Dita Von Tees.
• 12:38
  Dayna Roselli: So I'm making that happen too.
• 12:39
  Dayna Roselli: But that's a great Mother's Day show.
• 12:41
  Dayna Roselli: And she's got a show actually on Mother's Day and the whole weekend, but that specific night on a Sunday night, you could take mom to see Dita and make her feel like a queen.
• 12:51
  Sean McAllister: And that's that is one of those shows where you can get dressed up.
• 12:56
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 12:56
  Sean McAllister: Like there's a sense of occasion about it.
• 12:58
  Sean McAllister: There's a a feel of like the classic Vegas vibe when people would get dressed up to go out for an evening.
• 13:06
  Sean McAllister: And so that's the vibe that you get when you step into Voltaire over there for uh the Dida Von Tees show.
• 13:13
  Sean McAllister: Um, so I I think those are great options.
• 13:16
  Sean McAllister: Definitely two different types of entertainment.
• 13:18
  Sean McAllister: You go from pit bull to Dita Von Teese, and you've got the whole spectrum covered.
• 13:23
  Dayna Roselli: You do, you do.
• 13:24
  Dayna Roselli: And I mean, in the showgirl costumes that she used, I mean it's burlesque, Dita, but but it's like not super, super risque where you're like, well, I don't want to take mom to a burlesque show.
• 13:33
  Dayna Roselli: It's a big thing.
• 13:34
  Dayna Roselli: No, it's very classy.
• 13:35
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, very classy.
• 13:36
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, you're right.
• 13:37
  Dayna Roselli: Two different things.
• 13:38
  Dayna Roselli: And we've got a lot of other shows in town, some of our regular shows, maybe mom's into comedy or hey, she wants to like, you want to like have her like, you know, really live it up and do something on the edge.
• 13:48
  Dayna Roselli: She can go see absinthe.
• 13:50
  Sean McAllister: That's right.
• 13:50
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, you can.
• 13:51
  Sean McAllister: And by the way, um, if you are looking for a show, any type of entertainment to take mom to, uh, make sure that you get the Vegas Near Me app because they have all of the show times listed.
• 14:03
  Sean McAllister: Um, even if it's last minute, they'll let you know if tickets are still available.
• 14:07
  Sean McAllister: So that's a great resource.
• 14:09
  Sean McAllister: Uh it's also a great place to check for uh restaurants to see if there's restaurants uh bookings available.
• 14:16
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, you can always figure out like uh I need to plan this reservation, do it ahead, or um look at the menu.
• 14:22
  Dayna Roselli: You can get to the menus on there.
• 14:23
  Dayna Roselli: So, and a lot of restaurants are doing some special things for Mother's Day, so check ahead.
• 14:28
  Dayna Roselli: Um, another quick idea was the Win Las Vegas Lake of Dreams.
• 14:33
  Sean McAllister: Always a crowd pleaser.
• 14:34
  Dayna Roselli: Mom loves that.
• 14:35
  Dayna Roselli: You know, moms just love the Lake of Dreams.
• 14:37
  Dayna Roselli: Great patio out there.
• 14:39
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I think it's called the Aft Lounge.
• 14:41
  Sean McAllister: The aft lounge, yeah.
• 14:42
  Dayna Roselli: On the the patio is great, and then you can see the Lake of Dreams show that comes on every, I don't know if it's 20 minutes, half hour, but it's wonderful.
• 14:50
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, the restaurants there, like if you eat at SW Steakhouse on the patio, you'll see Lake of Dreams as well.
• 14:56
  Dayna Roselli: A couple other spots, I think, up top.
• 14:58
  Dayna Roselli: So, so you can you can get there.
• 15:00
  Dayna Roselli: A lot of people don't know about it, and it's one of the really special things at the win.
• 15:04
  Sean McAllister: I was just gonna say that.
• 15:06
  Sean McAllister: I feel like Lake of Dreams is not a top of mind destination when people come into town, generally speaking.
• 15:16
