• 2:07
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, our fall is like summer anywhere else, really.
• 2:12
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, sometimes we have like really warm weather all the way through November.
• 2:16
  Dayna Roselli: So we'll see what happens, right?
• 2:17
  Dayna Roselli: You never know.
• 2:18
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 2:18
  Sean McAllister: I've been in the pool on rare occasions on Thanksgiving.
• 2:23
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 2:23
  Sean McAllister: And the water was cold, but the sun still feels nice outside.
• 2:27
  Sean McAllister: Now, when we get into the fall months, are you one of those PSL lovers, pumpkin spice latte?
• 2:33
  Dayna Roselli: Heck no.
• 2:34
  Dayna Roselli: I hate all that stuff.
• 2:36
  Dayna Roselli: I hate fall.
• 2:38
  Dayna Roselli: No, I don't hate fall.
• 2:39
  Dayna Roselli: I don't hate fall, but I don't like the fall decorations and pumpkin spice.
• 2:46
  Dayna Roselli: I think we talked about this last year.
• 2:48
  Dayna Roselli: It's just not my thing, never has been.
• 2:50
  Dayna Roselli: I'm a summer girl.
• 2:51
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: Sorry, that was triggering.
• 2:53
  Dayna Roselli: It was triggering.
• 2:55
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, but I do like fall in Las Vegas because the weather is gorgeous.
• 2:58
  Dayna Roselli: So we have like 90s and 80s, and it's beautiful.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_00: It is, it's great.
• 3:01
  Dayna Roselli: But we've got a lot going on that is kind of like summer related, I feel like, because our pools are still open, you know, no big deal.
• 3:08
  Dayna Roselli: Those are open.
• 3:09
  Dayna Roselli: People are swimming.
• 3:10
  Dayna Roselli: The pool clubs are still popping, the DJs are still out there.
• 3:13
  Dayna Roselli: And uh this episode, we wanted to talk a lot about some of the things going on when it comes to music festivals and also some of our residency shows that are back.
• 3:21
  Dayna Roselli: So I know I've been seeing a lot of people in the entertainment world um talking about how like August was a little slow show wise.
• 3:29
  Dayna Roselli: Like ticket sales weren't great for some.
• 3:31
  Dayna Roselli: A lot of shows were off on vacation and that kind of thing, and usually a slow time of year.
• 3:36
  Dayna Roselli: So now things are starting to kick back up.
• 3:38
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, we hope that they will anyway.
• 3:41
  Sean McAllister: We have a lot of residencies that are coming back to the stage or just kicking off.
• 3:46
  Sean McAllister: Starting with Donnie Osmond, he's back on stage over at Hara's Las Vegas.
• 3:53
  Sean McAllister: He has shows running uh through November, Tuesday through Saturday, 8 p.m.
• 3:58
  Dayna Roselli: Yep.
• 3:59
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, it's funny, I still have Donnie Osmond confetti in that one purse that I took together.
• 4:03
  Dayna Roselli: Are you serious?
• 4:04
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, I swear.
• 4:05
  Dayna Roselli: Like it just never ends because Donnie Osmond has like a confetti drop at the end of his show or during, I can't remember.
• 4:12
  Dayna Roselli: And it just like made its way into my my purse, and I still find pieces of Donnie confetti.
• 4:17
  Sean McAllister: They did not skimp on the confetti, they did not.
• 4:21
  Dayna Roselli: So good to have Donnie back.
• 4:22
  Dayna Roselli: Excited for that.
• 4:23
  Dayna Roselli: We have a new show kicking off, and on September 23rd, Miranda Lambert coming to Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood.
• 4:31
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, she's excited about that.
• 4:32
  Dayna Roselli: She's never had her own residency here in Las Vegas.
• 4:35
  Dayna Roselli: Huge following and such supportive fan base.
• 4:38
  Dayna Roselli: I know that she's a great entertainer, so I think that's going to be a really good show.
• 4:42
  Dayna Roselli: And then just before that, September 14th, we have Aerosmith returning to do Scissor Wild, um, that residency at Park MGM after remember Steven Tyler had that stint and rehab.
• 4:53
  Dayna Roselli: I think he got hurt and then he got like kind of back addicted on some pills.
• 4:56
  Sean McAllister: Painkillers, yeah.
• 4:57
  Dayna Roselli: Not intentionally, but yeah, and so I'm glad he's doing better, and Aerosmith will be back with that.
• 5:03
  Sean McAllister: And also, um, the first magic headliner at Resorts World is kicking off a new show.
• 5:11
  Sean McAllister: David Blaine, of course, he we know him from doing all these insane stunts, death-defying stunts, and doing magic.
• 5:21
  Sean McAllister: And he has his own show over at Resorts World kicking off September 30th.
• 5:28
  Sean McAllister: And based on, we've talked about this before after uh David Blaine's show was announced, uh, that they used live alligators or a live alligator in the promo video shoot around the casino over there at Resorts World.
• 5:46
  Sean McAllister: So I'm guessing that there's probably going to be some kind of alligator element to the show.
• 5:53
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and it's so crazy that this is that show's here already, because I remember when we did talk about it, we were like, oh, it's not for a long time yet, but it was announced.
• 6:00
  Dayna Roselli: But now September 30th to October 1st, and you and I were saying I think it's gonna be really good, and that they'll probably add on more dates.
• 6:07
  Dayna Roselli: Cause we were like, all that preparation, I'm sure, for his, I think it's like his first stage show.
• 6:12
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, at least in Las Vegas, um, for just three days, like we want more, so we'll see what happens.
• 6:18
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 6:19
  Sean McAllister: Um, and uh side note, just uh another kind of foul connection to the Resorts World Theater.
• 6:26
  Sean McAllister: Um, you know, Carrie Underwood does the NFL kickoff theme song, right?
• 6:33
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and she recorded the opening, the video for that, uh, at the Resorts World Theater this year.
• 6:40
  Sean McAllister: So each time you see Carrie Underwood pop up before the game, that was here in Vegas.
• 6:46
  Dayna Roselli: Of course, everything leads back to Vegas.
• 6:48
  Dayna Roselli: Um, bunch of shows coming up um when we talk about one-offs.
• 6:52
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, we got a lot, actually.
• 6:54
  Dayna Roselli: So I'm just gonna whiz through some of these.
• 6:55
  Dayna Roselli: September 2nd, you can see Swedish House Mafia.
• 6:59
  Dayna Roselli: I think that's is that at the win?
• 7:00
  Dayna Roselli: I think that's at the win.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 7:01
  Dayna Roselli: September 3rd, Pat Benatar and Neil Geraldo at the Pearl at the Palms.
• 7:07
  Dayna Roselli: That's exciting.
• 7:09
  Dayna Roselli: And then September 10th, Imagine Dragons over at Allegiance Stadium.
• 7:13
  Dayna Roselli: I just saw them pushing that.
• 7:15
  Dayna Roselli: That's gonna be fun because they're from Las Vegas and they always love playing Vegas shows.
• 7:19
  Dayna Roselli: They've been all over the world with their tour.
• 7:22
  Dayna Roselli: And then October 12th, 14th to 15th, 19th, 21st to 22nd, we've got Lionel Ritchie back to Las Vegas over at the Encore Theater at the Wynn.
• 7:31
  Dayna Roselli: And then September 30th, Demi Lovato over at the Venetian Theater.
• 7:35
  Sean McAllister: Very cool.
• 7:35
  Sean McAllister: It'll be good to have Demi.
• 7:36
  Sean McAllister: I feel like she hasn't been back here in Vegas in a while.
• 7:40
  Sean McAllister: Uh, we have Duranda Ran coming September 1st and 3rd.
• 7:45
  Sean McAllister: That's at Wynn, Las Vegas.
• 7:47
  Sean McAllister: Enrique Iglesias uh is coming to the Resorts World Theater.

  Sean McAllister: Sebastian Manaskelko is back at the Encore Theater at Wynn on September 16th.
• 8:01
  Sean McAllister: But then the next night on the 17th, that's when he's filming his Netflix special right here in Las Vegas.
• 8:08
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and he's had so many specials in the past.
• 8:10
  Dayna Roselli: So this one I can't wait for uh that he's doing this again.
• 8:14
  Dayna Roselli: And I think I saw both shows are tapings and then they take the best parts, I'm assuming.
• 8:19
  Dayna Roselli: But it said dress up, like dress up, come in your finest, you know.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_00: I like that.
• 8:23
  Dayna Roselli: Throwback, you know, whatever.
• 8:25
  Dayna Roselli: And and I love that.
• 8:26
  Dayna Roselli: So I'm excited to see what that special will be like.
• 8:28
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, that's the September 17th shows.
• 8:31
  Dayna Roselli: I have a feeling those are probably sold out, but I'm not sure.
• 8:33
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 8:34
  Sean McAllister: Also at the Encore Theater over at Wynn, Diana Ross performs September 21st through October 1st.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_00: That'll be good.
• 8:42
  Sean McAllister: She's amazing.
• 8:43
  Sean McAllister: That's a great show.
• 8:44
  Sean McAllister: And a kind of a blast from the past on October 7th.
• 8:47
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, my mom will love this one.
• 8:49
  Sean McAllister: Tom Jones.
• 8:51
  Dayna Roselli: She loves that Tom Jones.
• 8:53
  Dayna Roselli: Who didn't love Tom Jones back in the day?
• 8:55
  Sean McAllister: Isn't he one of the original singers where ladies would like take off their panties and throw them on stage?
• 9:01
  Dayna Roselli: I think so.
• 9:01
  Dayna Roselli: And I think he would throw them back or something.
• 9:08
  Dayna Roselli: Tom Jones is gonna be at the Encore Theater at the Win Las Vegas.
• 9:12
  Dayna Roselli: Limited tickets available if you'd like to, you know, throw them on stage and see if you get them back.
• 9:18
  Sean McAllister: I don't know.
• 9:19
  Sean McAllister: Keep your knickers on this time around.
• 9:21
  Dayna Roselli: But he's still kicking and I love it.
• 9:23
  Dayna Roselli: Tom is really talented.
• 9:25
  Sean McAllister: Uh fan favorite.
• 9:26
  Sean McAllister: This show I think is was sold out almost immediately after going on sale.
• 9:31
  Sean McAllister: Adam Lambert, uh, the witch hunt at uh Win Las Vegas at the Encore Theater.
• 9:38
  Sean McAllister: That's like Halloween time, October 26th through 29th, and that's gonna be amazing.
• 9:44
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 9:44
  Dayna Roselli: And then November 1st, Elton John will be at Allegiance Stadium for his Yellow Brick Road, the final tour.
• 9:51
  Dayna Roselli: We'll see if it's really the final.
• 9:53
  Sean McAllister: We'll see.
• 9:54
  Dayna Roselli: But for now, we're calling it that.
• 9:56
  Sean McAllister: And remember, that's the show I got like$40 tickets to.
• 9:59
  Dayna Roselli: That's great.
• 9:59
  Dayna Roselli: You said you're like decent seats too, right?
• 10:02
  Dayna Roselli: Like a little bit high, but that's okay.
• 10:04
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, they're in the upper bowl.
• 10:05
  Sean McAllister: Upper bowl, but still.
• 10:07
  Sean McAllister: I wonder if he's gonna sing that new song with Britney.
• 10:09
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 10:10
  Dayna Roselli: Probably.
• 10:10
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it's like a redo of an old song, right?
• 10:13
  Dayna Roselli: But a new song, yeah.
• 10:14
  Dayna Roselli: And I wonder, well, okay, let's do this one more, this last one.
• 10:17
  Dayna Roselli: November 4th and 5th, Brad Paisley is gonna do something called Acoustic Storyteller.
• 10:22
  Dayna Roselli: I like that at the Encore Theater at the Wynn Las Vegas 2.
• 10:25
  Dayna Roselli: So that'll be good.
• 10:26
  Dayna Roselli: Brad's huge in the country world.
• 10:28
  Sean McAllister: Man, Wynn has great shows coming.
• 10:29
  Dayna Roselli: I know, they really do.
• 10:30
  Dayna Roselli: They've been getting some good, good stuff.
• 10:32
  Dayna Roselli: My question is I know you signed up for the Adele pre-sale fan.
• 10:37
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 10:38
  Dayna Roselli: What's going on with that?
• 10:38
  Dayna Roselli: Did you get a response?
• 10:40
  Sean McAllister: So I got a response.
• 10:41
  Sean McAllister: I signed up to be a verified fan, which would allow me to be in on tickets when they go on sale to the public.
• 10:49
  Sean McAllister: I got a response back after signing up saying that there was such high demand that I'm now on a wait list to become a verified fan.
• 10:59
  Sean McAllister: So basically, if enough verified fans decide not to get tickets or just don't log in, then I'm somewhere on a list to be filtered into the system somehow.
• 11:14
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 11:15
  Sean McAllister: Long story short, I'm not getting tickets to Adele.
• 11:18
  Dayna Roselli: I do have two friends that did get tickets.
• 11:21
  Dayna Roselli: Really?
• 11:21
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 11:22
  Dayna Roselli: And they said they were a I want to say it was a little under a thousand, or maybe, or maybe it was like 780.
• 11:28
  Dayna Roselli: Somewhere between 780 and a thousand.
• 11:31
  Dayna Roselli: They're in like the middle section.
• 11:32
  Dayna Roselli: So not the balcony, not the bottom orchestra, but in the middle.
• 11:37
  Sean McAllister: Okay.
• 11:38
  Dayna Roselli: And they got tickets.
• 11:39
  Dayna Roselli: And I said, you know, so then we started getting in this conversation of like, you know, is it worth it?
• 11:44
  Dayna Roselli: Do you think?
• 11:45
  Dayna Roselli: And they're like, Yes, I think it is.
• 11:46
  Dayna Roselli: Like it's Adele is on my list.
• 11:48
  Dayna Roselli: I want to see.
• 11:49
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, I'm like, okay.
• 11:50
  Dayna Roselli: And then we were talking about like, well, who else would you pay that for?
• 11:53
  Dayna Roselli: And we were going through the if you had to pick between George Michael, you know, we're talking about people who have passed away that we never got to see live.
• 11:59
  Dayna Roselli: George Michael and Michael Jackson, who would you pick?
• 12:01
  Dayna Roselli: And then, you know, we were doing all this.
• 12:03
  Dayna Roselli: I was like, I would have loved to see Michael Jackson live, obviously Elvis.
• 12:06
  Dayna Roselli: But and then I think like if I had an opportunity to see Michael Jackson or Elvis live, would I pay$780?
• 12:17
  Dayna Roselli: Like maybe.
• 12:19
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know.
• 12:20
  Sean McAllister: Like, would this be if they were like brought back to do a concert or if they were still around?
• 12:27
  Dayna Roselli: If they came to Vegas right now.
• 12:28
  Dayna Roselli: Well, obviously, Elvis has already passed a long time ago.
• 12:32
  Dayna Roselli: But like, say Michael Jackson, like he didn't pass away that long ago, right?
• 12:36
  Dayna Roselli: Like it's been a while, but I was uh an adult where I could afford a ticket.
• 12:41
  Dayna Roselli: So say, and Michael had never played Las Vegas while I lived here.
• 12:46
  Dayna Roselli: So if they said Michael Jackson is coming to Vegas at the Coliseum and his ticket was 780, would I buy it?
• 12:53
  Dayna Roselli: Probably.
• 12:54
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, that's true.
• 12:55
  Sean McAllister: Do you know what I mean?
• 12:56
  Dayna Roselli: Is what I'm saying.
• 12:56
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 12:57
  Dayna Roselli: So thanks for clearing that up.
• 13:00
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, Adele, I don't know if I, you know, I like Adele, but I just it's just not on my list.
• 13:05
  Dayna Roselli: So I'm good.
• 13:06
  Dayna Roselli: But I good luck on your, and I'm curious to see.
• 13:09
  Dayna Roselli: But I do, yeah, have some friends that did get tickets and they're ready to go.
• 13:13
  Dayna Roselli: And their names are Frank and Alex.
• 13:15
  Sean McAllister: Frank and Alex enjoy the show.
• 13:18
  Sean McAllister: Hey, you know, something else that happens, excuse me.
• 13:22
  Dayna Roselli: You're getting all choked up over.
• 13:24
  Sean McAllister: I am uh something else that we see all the time here in Las Vegas is there are festivals every single week and weekend.
• 13:34
  Dayna Roselli: Uh-huh.
• 13:34
  Sean McAllister: And we have a lot of big music festivals that are coming up.
• 13:38
  Dayna Roselli: We do.
• 13:39
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm just gonna be honest, I'm not a huge music festival person, so um, but I totally get it.
• 13:45
  Dayna Roselli: But I watch a lot from my balcony because there's a lot that takes me.
• 13:47
  Sean McAllister: You've got a great bird's eye view across.
• 13:49
  Dayna Roselli: But um, so music festivals aren't my thing, but food festivals are my thing that include a little bit of music, and one's coming up that I absolutely love.
• 13:57
  Dayna Roselli: I have never missed since I moved to Las Vegas, and we're talking about the Greek festival.
• 14:02
  Dayna Roselli: If you guys get a chance and you want an authentic, fun food festival to go to, the Greek festival is here in town.
• 14:08
  Dayna Roselli: It's September 23rd to the 25th.
• 14:11
  Dayna Roselli: If you are visiting Las Vegas, um go.
• 14:14
  Dayna Roselli: If you're a local, go.
• 14:16
  Dayna Roselli: It's uh great, great time.
• 14:19
  Dayna Roselli: It's right there off, and I'm I'm actually blanking on the roads right now.
• 14:23
  Dayna Roselli: So I'm just gonna skip over that and revisit that in a minute.
• 14:27
  Dayna Roselli: But um, it's right in the center of town, kind of right near Tory Pines and like hacienda.
• 14:35
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 14:35
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, so somewhere over there.
• 14:38
  Dayna Roselli: And it's a great festival.
• 14:39
  Dayna Roselli: They have live music, they have live dancing, they have raffles, they have Greek beer and great food and desserts and vendors.
• 14:48
  Dayna Roselli: It's it's a good time.
• 14:49
  Sean McAllister: I know every year you talk about the Greek festival.
• 14:52
  Sean McAllister: There's so much anticipation for it, and then after you go, you're just like, the Greek festival is the best.
• 14:59
  Dayna Roselli: It really is.
• 14:59
  Dayna Roselli: You know why?
• 15:00
  Dayna Roselli: I think as Rochester, where we're from, um, festivals were such a huge part of our summer.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 15:05
  Dayna Roselli: And there was just they were done right, and then there's some like West Coast cities that try and do festivals, and they're just not like East Coast festivals.
• 15:16
  Dayna Roselli: So I feel like this festival is the closest to an East Coast festival that I've found.
• 15:20
  Dayna Roselli: Let's put it that way.
• 15:21
  Dayna Roselli: All right.
• 15:21
  Sean McAllister: If that makes any sense, it completely does.
• 15:24
  Dayna Roselli: It's more about the food and the volunteers, and they love sharing.
• 15:28
  Dayna Roselli: Like, you've got to try this and you've got to try a little bit of this, and then it's just not like overdone.
• 15:33
  Dayna Roselli: You know, there's dancing and live music, but it's not like too much going on.
• 15:38
  Dayna Roselli: Like, we even have an Italian festival here, and they like it's just weird.
• 15:42
  Dayna Roselli: They sell like there's like taco vendors there, which I'm like, what's what's happening here?
• 15:49
  Dayna Roselli: And like knockoff purses and stuff.
• 15:54
  Sean McAllister: I didn't know that.
• 15:55
  Dayna Roselli: If that make, yeah, it's I went one year and I've never gone back, and I'm not gonna sit here and bash the festival.
• 16:01
  Dayna Roselli: It's just not the kind of Italian that you're used to.
• 16:05
  Dayna Roselli: You're gonna stick to a theme, all right?
• 16:08
  Dayna Roselli: I was like, I don't understand what's happening here.
• 16:11
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, yeah.
• 16:12
  Sean McAllister: It's like having a SpongeBob party and showing up as Pokemon.
• 16:16
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 16:17
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, real quick, St.
• 16:18
  Dayna Roselli: John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church is where it's at, El Camino Road in Las Vegas, hacienda and Jones.
• 16:25
  Sean McAllister: There we go.
• 16:25
  Sean McAllister: Okay, uh, and a ton of music festivals as well.
• 16:28
  Sean McAllister: Life is Beautiful, one of our biggest music festivals all year.
• 16:32
  Sean McAllister: Uh, September 16th through 18th.
• 16:35
  Sean McAllister: Then the next weekend, the iHeart Radio Music Festival takes over.
• 16:39
  Sean McAllister: Uh, that's September 23rd and September 24th, and that I believe with the daytime stage over at Area 15.
• 16:47
  Sean McAllister: And that concert is usually televised a couple weeks later on the CW, also.
• 16:54
  Sean McAllister: And then on October 22nd, 23rd, and the 29th is the When We Were Young Festival, which is featuring bands like Avril Levine, Paramour, My Chemical Romance.
• 17:08
  Sean McAllister: Um, so that's gonna be a good one too.
• 17:11
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, and yeah, and that sold out quick, and I think they actually had to add that third day, and we were all like, wow, like who knew?
• 17:18
  Dayna Roselli: Because that's like what do you call like 90s music?
• 17:20
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, 90s rock.
• 17:22
  Dayna Roselli: For sure.
• 17:22
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 17:22
  Sean McAllister: I mean Or maybe early 2000s.
• 17:25
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, early 2000s, right.
• 17:26
  Dayna Roselli: So Jimmy Eat World is there, I know you like them, AFI, and then they're doing all these side shows around that, which is kind of cool because I feel like when you come in um to town for something, you know, we have people that live here that go to these festivals, but also when you're in town, they they wanted to, I guess, have other things happening around the festival that you could go to.
• 17:48
  Dayna Roselli: Like there's some shows on the 21st, and those are at like Brooklyn Bowl and House of Blues.
• 17:54
  Dayna Roselli: And so, like, say you came in the 21st and you're going to the festival on the 22nd, gives you something else to maybe go to.
• 17:59
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, smart.
• 18:00
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I thought that was cool.
• 18:01
  Dayna Roselli: They got a a show at Pearl Concert Theater as well.
• 18:04
  Dayna Roselli: So it's called the When We Were Young Side Shows.
• 18:07
  Dayna Roselli: Go on to the website when we were young festival.com and all the details are there.
• 18:13
  Sean McAllister: Should we do some tips?
• 18:15
  Dayna Roselli: Let's do it.
• 18:20
  Dayna Roselli: Sean, I love this tip and I think it's one of the best ideas ever.
• 18:24
  Dayna Roselli: I talked about on the podcast how I went to Illuminarium at Area 15.
• 18:28
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 18:29
  Dayna Roselli: And it was, you know, a whole space theme.
• 18:32
  Dayna Roselli: You walk in, they've got all this different kind of stuff on the walls, screens, and now I don't know how to explain it, but anyway, it's a whole like immersive space experience, right?
• 18:41
  Dayna Roselli: But like all the walls are like screens, right?
• 18:44
  Dayna Roselli: Like floor to ceiling, you know, and all this stuff happening all around you.
• 18:47
  Dayna Roselli: Well, and apparently, Area 15 has decided, you know what?
• 18:51
  Dayna Roselli: We're gonna do some Monday night football there.
• 18:53
  Sean McAllister: I love it.
• 18:54
  Dayna Roselli: Can you imagine watching the game?
• 18:55
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it's gonna be great.
• 18:57
  Dayna Roselli: So yeah, Area 15 is bringing this in.
• 19:00
  Dayna Roselli: It's a 21 and over Monday night football viewing experience.
• 19:04
  Dayna Roselli: It begins Monday, September 12th, and you can watch it right there with friends.
• 19:11
  Dayna Roselli: It looks like they have tables set up.
• 19:13
  Dayna Roselli: We also have food there, a curated menu, selection of specialty cocktails, all sorts of stuff that will make your Monday night football experience really different and fun.
• 19:24
  Sean McAllister: And we have, if you have a hard time visualizing what this space is going to be like for a football game, uh go to our website, vegas-revealed.com.
• 19:35
  Sean McAllister: And if you scroll down, you'll see um some articles posted.
• 19:38
  Sean McAllister: And one of them is about Illuminarium hosting football games, and there's an image there that'll give you an idea of what to expect.
• 19:46
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it's it's a great space, and uh our area 15's always thinking outside the box.
• 19:51
  Dayna Roselli: I love it.
• 19:51
  Dayna Roselli: Monday night football.
• 19:52
  Dayna Roselli: We may have to do that.
• 19:53
  Dayna Roselli: That would be really fun, especially when the Raiders do Monday night football.
• 19:56
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know what that is.
• 19:57
  Dayna Roselli: That actually maybe we need to get on and reserve that now.
• 20:00
  Sean McAllister: We should.
• 20:01
  Sean McAllister: All right, before we post this episode.
• 20:06
  Sean McAllister: Um kind of sticking with the the sports theme.
• 20:10
  Sean McAllister: I was down on the strip, I don't know, maybe a month or so ago, and we went down to the link, the link promenade where all the shops and restaurants are.
• 20:21
  Sean McAllister: Um, got some Gordon Ramsay fish and chips.
• 20:24
  Sean McAllister: Well, that's kind of like a walk-in, get your food, and it's kind of like a a takeout, a carry-out kind of place.
• 20:32
  Sean McAllister: It's not a like restaurant, restaurant where you sit down, right?
• 20:35
  Sean McAllister: Not a ton of space.
• 20:36
  Sean McAllister: Um, so what we did is we went acr back across the promenade into the Link Hotel, and right as you walk in uh the doors there to the left is the Caesars uh sports book at the Link Hotel.
• 20:54
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 20:55
  Sean McAllister: And it is this long bar area that curves around the casino.
• 21:02
  Sean McAllister: Behind the bar is almost like a a lunch counter kind of thing that runs, I don't know, for as long as I could see, um, with seats pulled right up to that, and then behind that counter area, there's a whole bunch of couches, comfy seating with this giant cube in the middle, and it's all TVs on each side of the cube.
• 21:29
  Sean McAllister: And then if you're sitting at the counter or you're at the bar, the entire wall behind there is all sports monitors, too.
• 21:38
  Sean McAllister: When we were there, Wimbledon was being shown.
• 21:41
  Sean McAllister: And we were like, oh, this is a great front row seat to watch Wimbledon.
• 21:45
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 21:45
  Sean McAllister: Uh, and what else we noticed is that in that bar area, have you ever been to one of those wine bars where you get a a card and you fill it up with money?
• 21:56
  Dayna Roselli: I haven't.
• 21:56
  Dayna Roselli: I've heard of them, and I know there was one at the M, and I never made Yeah.
• 22:01
  Sean McAllister: And basically you stick your card in, uh you push the button, it dispenses whatever amount of you know, beer, wine, whatever.
• 22:11
  Sean McAllister: They had that kind of thing over at uh the link in the sports book area.
• 22:17
  Sean McAllister: Uh there were taps just coming out of the wall.
• 22:19
  Sean McAllister: You stick your card in, it pours you, I would imagine, a specified amount of beer for your thing.
• 22:26
  Sean McAllister: And then you can just go and keep refilling beers yourself.
• 22:29
  Dayna Roselli: So they save, they save on staff, right?
• 22:32
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, yeah, I guess they do.
• 22:34
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and we become the staff, right?
• 22:37
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that's how they trick us.
• 22:39
  Sean McAllister: Didn't think about it that way.
• 22:40
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 22:40
  Sean McAllister: But no, it's you know I was thinking, how fun I can get my own beer.
• 22:44
  Dayna Roselli: You're thinking it cuts down on the weight.
• 22:45
  Dayna Roselli: So it does serve that purpose.
• 22:47
  Dayna Roselli: You know, you just go get it yourself, unless there's someone in standing in front of you or whatever.
• 22:51
  Dayna Roselli: But okay, so that's kind of cool.
• 22:53
  Dayna Roselli: Good place.
• 22:53
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, we like to think of different because we were chatting, like, where else can we watch football that's good since it's the season?
• 22:59
  Dayna Roselli: And we didn't want to mention some of the ones we always talk about, some of the givens.
• 23:03
  Dayna Roselli: We know we have a great sports book at the Westgate.
• 23:05
  Dayna Roselli: It's huge, it's great.
• 23:07
  Dayna Roselli: But something else we thought of uh after talking about Link was we have done many projects at the Strat.
• 23:13
  Dayna Roselli: And when we walk by that sports book, you and I always go, we got to tell people about this because it's a nice sports book.
• 23:18
  Dayna Roselli: It's real, and it's big.
• 23:20
  Dayna Roselli: It's big, and there always seems like there's plenty of seats, and there's a PTs next to it with like kind of, I was gonna say like an outdoor patio, but it's an indoor patio because it's in front of the actual entrance where you can also see the screens.
• 23:31
  Dayna Roselli: So if you are looking for a place, you know, that might be off the beaten path, you know, the strats to the north of the strip, but they've got a great sports book.
• 23:40
  Sean McAllister: I I would go there in a heartbeat to watch some games.
• 23:43
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 23:43
  Sean McAllister: And PTs has good food too.
• 23:45
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it does, definitely.
• 23:46
  Dayna Roselli: You know, always good wings.
• 23:48
  Dayna Roselli: Um, the link promenade that we were talking about, when I was on the site, I noticed a lot of local discounts, FYI for our Nevada people that you show your ID.
• 23:58
  Dayna Roselli: I think I saw 20% off for the high roller.
• 24:00

  Dayna Roselli: So keep that in mind.
• 24:13
  Dayna Roselli: Go to the Link's website.
• 24:15
  Dayna Roselli: There's lots of things to do on the Link Promenade, and there's a lot of little offers along the way.
