• 2:45
  Sean McAllister: And I guess it Thanksgiving was just happening too.

  Sean McAllister: So it feels like it was just Halloween, though.
• 2:52
  Sean McAllister: Anyway, it's coming quick, the end of the year.
• 2:55
  Dayna Roselli: For sure.
• 2:55
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, I've been on this workout kick lately.
• 2:58
  Dayna Roselli: And um, I have to tell you guys about this experience I had.
• 3:01
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I work out at a place called Hotworks, but uh my friend JJ Snyder that works over at KTNV's morning blend.
• 3:08
  Dayna Roselli: Sometimes I fill in on that show.
• 3:09
  Dayna Roselli: She said, Hey, want to come to this class at Orange Theory tonight?
• 3:12
  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, Well, that's not really my thing, the circuit circuit classes and stuff.
• 3:16
  Dayna Roselli: But um, she's like, Well, there's gonna be a surprise.
• 3:19
  Dayna Roselli: So I go to this class, I'm like, okay, I'm game because I'm in the workout mood lately.
• 3:23
  Dayna Roselli: Sure.
• 3:23
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and Steve Aoki showed up and worked out with us.
• 3:27
  Sean McAllister: Like the world famous DJ and producer Steve Aoki.
• 3:31
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 3:32
  Dayna Roselli: So apparently he's the chief music officer of Orange Theory.
• 3:37
  Dayna Roselli: I think, yeah, they announced it like last March.
• 3:39
  Dayna Roselli: And so they like use his playlist and stuff like that.
• 3:43
  Dayna Roselli: So he showed up and the whole class didn't know he was coming.
• 3:46
  Dayna Roselli: So it was kind of fun to see the reaction.
• 3:48
  Dayna Roselli: I may have or may or may not have known.
• 3:51
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but he was committed, Sean.
• 3:54
  Dayna Roselli: He was so much fun.
• 3:56
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, we do these circuits.
• 3:57
  Dayna Roselli: I did 20 minutes on this treadmill running, which I've actually never done.
• 4:01
  Dayna Roselli: Really?
• 4:01
  Dayna Roselli: Like on a treadmill.
• 4:02
  Dayna Roselli: No, because I'm not like a big runner or I don't know, I've just never used a treadmill to go on a walk.
• 4:08
  Dayna Roselli: I would just go outside and walk.
• 4:09
  Sean McAllister: Sure.
• 4:10
  Sean McAllister: Okay.
• 4:10
  Dayna Roselli: I usually do the elliptical if I'm gonna do anything.
• 4:12
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, my calves are killing me.
• 4:15
  Dayna Roselli: I was stretching, you caught me earlier.
• 4:16
  Sean McAllister: Is that why you were doing all those yoga stretches in here?
• 4:19
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 4:20
  Dayna Roselli: But um, listen, Steve Aoki was what it was me, JJ, and our friend Stacey Galani, and Steve Aoki, all four like in a row, just doing the treadmill.
• 4:30
  Sean McAllister: So was this a big class, like in a big workout room, or was it pretty intimate?
• 4:34
  Dayna Roselli: No, well, it was like intimate, but there was uh so there's different circuits.
• 4:38
  Dayna Roselli: We are we're on the treadmill while everyone else is rowing.
• 4:41
  Dayna Roselli: Oh and then over in the corner, they're doing like burpees and weights and sit-ups and all that kind of thing.
• 4:47
  Dayna Roselli: And then every like 15 minutes you switch.
• 4:49
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 4:50
  Dayna Roselli: So then we go.
• 4:50
  Dayna Roselli: So then we moved, and like, yeah, Steve was committed.
• 4:53
  Dayna Roselli: He was doing the the heavy ball that you like do jumping jacks with, you know, rowing, and and we were next to him, but I was I was laughing because at the end, I was like, man, he could move because you do these like things on the bench where you do like kind of sit-ups and then like kind of like planking and do all this stuff.
• 5:09
  Dayna Roselli: He was like whipping all around, but he was committed all the way to the end.
• 5:12
  Dayna Roselli: He did not stop, he was fully in.
• 5:16
  Dayna Roselli: So it was so much fun to kind of like work out right near him for an hour and listening to some of his playlists that he curated and put it together.
• 5:24
  Sean McAllister: And now when you go and see Steve Aoki in concert, or if you look up his videos online, he usually throws cake at the audience when he's done with his set or in the middle of his set.
• 5:37
  Sean McAllister: Did he did he bring any cake with him?
• 5:39
  Dayna Roselli: Well, he did.
• 5:40
  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, I didn't know that whole little thing.
• 5:42
  Dayna Roselli: So at the end, they presented a cake to him and he kind of like stood up on the front counter after the class, like, good job, everyone, kind of deal.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 5:50
  Dayna Roselli: And then he threw the cake at one of the staff members right in the face.
• 5:54
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my god.
• 5:55
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 5:56
  Dayna Roselli: But I I have video, but I didn't realize he was gonna throw it.
• 5:59
  Dayna Roselli: So I like missed that part, but it was crazy.
• 6:02
  Dayna Roselli: And so apparently, like you said, he does this.
• 6:04
  Dayna Roselli: This is his so funny.
• 6:06
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 6:06
  Dayna Roselli: So he threw cake right at her, she had it all over her, and it was a lot of fun.
• 6:12
  Dayna Roselli: But um, yeah, a fun fact that I learned Steve Aoki is the chief music officer at Orange Theory.
• 6:18
  Sean McAllister: Nice.
• 6:18
  Sean McAllister: So go to a workout class in Las Vegas, and you could have a celebrity right next to you is the moral of that story.
• 6:25
  Dayna Roselli: You could.
• 6:25
  Dayna Roselli: And we were down at the one in Henderson on Eastern.
• 6:28
  Dayna Roselli: So uh that was really fun to see him and work out.
• 6:32
  Dayna Roselli: Um, hey, something that we did recently, I had asked you, I I was saying, like, I've never been to the Tournament of Kings at the Excalibur.
• 6:39
  Dayna Roselli: And you were like, Oh, I I've been there, you know, once before, but they had their holiday show and we got invited to go check it out.
• 6:45
  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, should we go?
• 6:46
  Dayna Roselli: And you were like, Yeah, it's really, really fun.
• 6:48
  Dayna Roselli: So we did it.
• 6:50
  Sean McAllister: We did.
• 6:50
  Sean McAllister: So uh and this is another one of those activities in Las Vegas that'll get you in the holiday spirit.
• 6:56
  Sean McAllister: There's you know, holiday music mixed in, there's the storyline of the show is uh switched up a little bit to be in the holiday spirit.
• 7:07
  Sean McAllister: But if you don't know, Tournament of Kings is a long-running show over at Xcaliber.
• 7:13
  Sean McAllister: It's about like King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and battling these knights battling evil.
• 7:20
  Sean McAllister: And there are, I mean, it's a whole equestrian ring with dinner around, you know, dinner seating around the outside of it, and there's beautiful horses, and the knights are riding around and like real sword fights and jousting and singing, dancing.
• 7:40
  Sean McAllister: It really is a fun and unique experience.
• 7:44
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, yeah, I've lived here a long time, more than 15 years, and I had never even been to the Tournament of Kings arena, and I'm such like a Vegas lover, and I've done so much, I was like ashamed of myself.
• 7:55
  Dayna Roselli: But I didn't even realize like you go downstairs, and there's this whole arena, and like you said, seating area, and I was like, wow, this is amazing, and like a whole ring with like a dirt floor, and I mean it was it was really cool.
• 8:09
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and then we got to eat with our hands, which was fun.
• 8:12
  Dayna Roselli: We got dinner, like full-on dinner, and like it faces you're sitting kind of in a row, and you get to eat while you watch the show.
• 8:20
  Dayna Roselli: We had chicken and potatoes and corn and uh and a roll, and then we got I had a Diet Coke.
• 8:27
  Dayna Roselli: Uh you could order alcohol if you wanted to, and then we got a cute Christmas cookie as dessert.
• 8:32
  Sean McAllister: That was a good sugar cookie.
• 8:33
  Dayna Roselli: It was.
• 8:34
  Dayna Roselli: That was good.
• 8:35
  Dayna Roselli: I really enjoyed that.
• 8:36
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and it's called Twas the Night, like K-N-I-G-H-T for the holiday season.
• 8:43
  Dayna Roselli: Um and like I said, we had a blast.
• 8:46
  Dayna Roselli: You get to put a crown on.
• 8:48
  Dayna Roselli: A bunch of people wrote questions to us on Twitter and direct messages, and I was gonna try and answer a few of them.
• 8:54
  Sean McAllister: Okay, yeah.
• 8:55
  Sean McAllister: Let's hear from let's hear what people had to say.
• 8:57
  Dayna Roselli: Well, um, first of all, when you said it's a long-running show, it's the longest running dinner show, too.
• 9:02
  Dayna Roselli: Apparently, 30 years it's been on the strip.
• 9:04
  Sean McAllister: Has it been that long?
• 9:05
  Sean McAllister: 30 years.
• 9:06
  Dayna Roselli: We were talking to one of the ushers on the way out, and she said, Yeah, it's I think she said it was the longest running show on the strip, but then people and then I was looking at the press release and it says dinner show.
• 9:16
  Dayna Roselli: I think there have been some that have run 30 years, but maybe they're not running right now.
• 9:20
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 9:20
  Dayna Roselli: So I'm not really sure the exact statistic of that, but it's definitely up there.
• 9:24
  Dayna Roselli: Regardless, 30 years is incredible, right?
• 9:26
  Sean McAllister: It's a good run.
• 9:27
  Dayna Roselli: It is, but a lot of people, this was a funny uh oh.
• 9:30
  Dayna Roselli: I had someone write me and say, Oh my gosh, I saw that show years ago, and she said, I'll never forget the first time I went, my night one, and then I was so happy, and then I saw him hours later at Blue Martini, and somehow the magic was lost, and she's hysterical.
• 9:44
  Dayna Roselli: She then she posted a picture with him and she says, Look, I have the evidence.
• 9:49
  Sean McAllister: That's hilarious.
• 9:50
  Dayna Roselli: And everyone's chiming in with that's an only Vegas moment, right?
• 9:53
  Sean McAllister: It is, and by the way, if you don't know Blue Martini, it's a a bar where uh like you go to find a mate.
• 10:01
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 10:03
  Dayna Roselli: We had a uh comment from Glenn who said it's so much fun, it's corny, but you participate and you can't help but laugh and have a good time.
• 10:09
  Dayna Roselli: And I thought that was a good point, right?
• 10:11
  Sean McAllister: That is true.
• 10:12
  Dayna Roselli: Um, someone else says, Do they have the tomato soup?
• 10:14
  Dayna Roselli: And I said, Well, we didn't have tomato soup um on our menu, but maybe it changes.
• 10:19
  Dayna Roselli: And they said, Oh no, the tomato soup was delicious, and then said they used to work there.
• 10:23
  Dayna Roselli: And they even had the soup over in the employee uh lunch area, the ER.
• 10:29
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 10:30
  Dayna Roselli: Um and then someone else wrote and said, Um, I opened the Excalibur and the food and beverage department.
• 10:36
  Dayna Roselli: The show and experience has hardly changed in 32 plus years.
• 10:40
  Dayna Roselli: Gotta be one of the longest runners in Vegas history.
• 10:42
  Dayna Roselli: Love it.
• 10:43
  Dayna Roselli: And then a couple people chimed in and said, I haven't seen it either.
• 10:46
  Dayna Roselli: I'm a bad local.
• 10:48
  Dayna Roselli: Uh I keep meaning to go.
• 10:50
  Dayna Roselli: I need to get there.
• 10:50
  Dayna Roselli: I need to get there.
• 10:52
  Sean McAllister: It's definitely worth going to see, especially if you have family in town or friends in town.
• 10:59
  Sean McAllister: To get dinner and a show is a pretty good thing.
• 11:05
  Sean McAllister: And I mean, that is a good value for what you're getting.
• 11:09
  Dayna Roselli: Well, and that's what someone else wrote and said, um, is that show at the Excalibur a full meal or just Ordura?
• 11:15
  Dayna Roselli: So then I explained, I sent him a little video of what comes, like I said, the chicken.
• 11:18
  Dayna Roselli: We had corn, we had a roll, we had two potatoes.
• 11:20
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it was a meal.
• 11:22
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so we got that.
• 11:23
  Dayna Roselli: And then someone else asked, Is it too old for my kids?
• 11:26
  Dayna Roselli: As in, like, will they understand what's going on?
• 11:28
  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, I mean, they may not understand like every little specific, but they're gonna love it.
• 11:32
  Dayna Roselli: You're you get a crown to where you're cheering on your your um country or you're the dr in the dragon slayer section.
• 11:41
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it's fun, they'll pretty much understand everything.
• 11:44
  Dayna Roselli: It's definitely perfect for kids.
• 11:47
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 11:47
  Sean McAllister: And tickets do start at just about$42,$41.87.
• 11:54
  Sean McAllister: And that's for dinner and the show.
• 11:58
  Sean McAllister: Wow, that's great.
• 11:58
  Sean McAllister: That's a great ticket price.
• 12:00
  Dayna Roselli: A great, yeah, it really is.
• 12:02
  Dayna Roselli: It's so and it's was like a almost an hour and a half.
• 12:06
  Sean McAllister: So it's a good full production.
• 12:08
  Dayna Roselli: And the wait staff was great.
• 12:10
  Dayna Roselli: They were like great at serving you quick, getting what you needed, all that.
• 12:14
  Dayna Roselli: And then also, as you enter and you exit, there's an arcade down there, too, that's got some fun games that you mostly see at like county fairs and stuff, like the horse racing.
• 12:24
  Sean McAllister: I know it brought you back to your to your days of winning a bunny.
• 12:28
  Dayna Roselli: It did.
• 12:28
  Dayna Roselli: I won a rabbit once at an Italian festival.
• 12:31
  Dayna Roselli: And I got the ball in the cup in the middle.
• 12:33
  Dayna Roselli: My parents wanted to kill me.
• 12:35
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but yeah, the Great arcade down there as well.
• 12:38
  Dayna Roselli: And we were talking to the Usher on the way out as well, and we asked, Do the horses stay there?
• 12:43
  Dayna Roselli: And she said, No, they go and leave every single night.
• 12:47
  Dayna Roselli: They're better take.
• 12:48
  Dayna Roselli: She said they're more well taken care of than the actual performers in the show.
• 12:52
  Dayna Roselli: Don't worry.
• 12:53
  Sean McAllister: I believe it.
• 12:54
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 12:54
  Dayna Roselli: So um, we wanted to point that out as well.
• 12:56
  Sean McAllister: But those horses were beautiful.
• 12:58
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, they really were.
• 12:59
  Dayna Roselli: It was fun.
• 13:00
  Dayna Roselli: I it's a great, it's something different.
• 13:01
  Sean McAllister: Yep.
• 13:02
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 13:02
  Sean McAllister: And so as Dana mentioned, uh, Tournament of Kings Twas the Night is running now uh through the holiday season.
• 13:10
  Sean McAllister: And then outside of the holiday season, you see the regular medieval themed uh Tournament of Kings production.
• 13:19
  Dayna Roselli: All right, well, moving on to uh, well, some bad news for oyster lovers.
• 13:25
  Sean McAllister: I mean uh we saw this pop up and and figured we needed to talk about it because there is a Las Vegas tie.
• 13:32
  Sean McAllister: Uh the Food and Drug Administration just sent out a warning about uh these oysters that have uh made people sick.
• 13:42
  Sean McAllister: There's uh a restaurant here in Las Vegas that was not named in the report, but apparently two clusters of people uh were made sick by eating raw oysters at uh this restaurant.
• 13:59
  Sean McAllister: Um the oysters came from, they were harvested in South Korea, they say, uh in February and then distributed here in Las Vegas in Nevada, um, but also in 12 other states.
• 14:15
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 14:16
  Sean McAllister: So this seems like it's a w it could be a widespread uh outbreak, whatever's in these uh little oyster shells.
• 14:24
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and I was like, can't we go like closer than South Korea for our oysters?
• 14:28
  Sean McAllister: Or but I mean I feel like we have a a pretty good selection of domestic uh oysters.
• 14:34
  Dayna Roselli: I would think so.
• 14:35
  Sean McAllister: Doesn't Washington State have some really good oysters?
• 14:38
  Sean McAllister: And there's other locations.
• 14:40
  Sean McAllister: Baltimore, I think, has has good oysters.
• 14:42
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I mean, probably.
• 14:44
  Dayna Roselli: So maybe we need to to keep it here.
• 14:46
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know.
• 14:47
  Sean McAllister: I think it is good to point out that uh uh the restaurant here in Las Vegas is not uh necessarily to blame for definitely having these oysters.
• 14:57
  Sean McAllister: They were, you know, using whatever supplier they use, but it's uh the the mollusks that were harvested in South Korea.
• 15:06
  Sean McAllister: Um, you know, the company that really brought those in is connected with this outbreak.
• 15:12
  Sean McAllister: It just is unfortunate that it happened at a Las Vegas restaurant.
• 15:15
  Dayna Roselli: That's true.
• 15:15
  Dayna Roselli: And we have some great oyster bars in town too.
• 15:17
  Dayna Roselli: And I know uh whenever I go with my friend at Monomiga B, he always loves to get the oysters and says they're the delicious.
• 15:24
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I really do like oysters.
• 15:26
  Sean McAllister: I don't have them a lot.
• 15:27
  Sean McAllister: No, but getting a seafood tower and just I could have an entire dinner just off a seafood tower.
• 15:32
  Dayna Roselli: Well, didn't we didn't we just eat oysters at Scotch 80?
• 15:35
  Dayna Roselli: We did.
• 15:36
  Dayna Roselli: I think we did, yeah.
• 15:37
  Sean McAllister: But they were uh cooked.
• 15:39
  Sean McAllister: Oh, remember they had the fire?
• 15:40
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, that's right.
• 15:41
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, because we got the hot seafood tower.
• 15:44
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 15:44
  Dayna Roselli: All right, got it.
• 15:46
  Dayna Roselli: All right, well, we wanted to let everyone know about that.
• 15:48
  Dayna Roselli: Um, some good news though, is a new opening.
• 15:52
  Dayna Roselli: Imagine that we have something new opening.
• 15:55
  Dayna Roselli: It's crazy to me how much we have opening.
• 15:57
  Dayna Roselli: But um, an international brewery called Brew Dog is uh, well, officially open because this podcast um drops on a Saturday and it opened Friday.
• 16:08
  Dayna Roselli: And we talked about this in the past, but it has been a while.
• 16:11
  Dayna Roselli: So all of a sudden, just time flew by, and then we're like, wait, that's opening.
• 16:14
  Dayna Roselli: We talked about that like two years ago, and it's called Brew Dog.
• 16:18
  Dayna Roselli: It's a rooftop bar, and it's right near like the uh the showcase mall, which we've talked about before.
• 16:26
  Dayna Roselli: It's right on Las Vegas Boulevard, and it's gonna give you 360-degree views of the strip, which makes it really cool.
• 16:34
  Dayna Roselli: They have a menu of like Vegas exclusive bites, they have 96 taps there featuring brewdog brews, some local favorites, and some non-alcoholic options too.
• 16:45
  Dayna Roselli: They have a retro arcade and more.
• 16:48
  Dayna Roselli: And get this um, its big feature is a 30,000 square foot rooftop bar with the views of the strip, but 30,000 square feet.
• 17:00
  Dayna Roselli: Isn't that crazy?
• 17:01
  Sean McAllister: That's insane.
• 17:02
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 17:03
  Dayna Roselli: So we have actually already gone, but um, we record this a day before the day before we're actually going.
• 17:10
  Dayna Roselli: So we're gonna talk all about it next week.
• 17:12
  Sean McAllister: Next week, yeah.
• 17:13
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 17:14
  Sean McAllister: But I I have a feeling that that is going to be a new hot spot on Las Vegas Boulevard.
• 17:20
  Sean McAllister: With those views, you can't beat them.
• 17:22
  Sean McAllister: And yeah, this is a I believe the second and third floor of the showcase mall area, which is directly across the street from Park MGM, uh kind of next door to the Hard Rock Cafe.
• 17:36
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 17:36
  Sean McAllister: Uh so if you're familiar with that, you know where this is, just look up for the big brew dog sign.
• 17:43
  Dayna Roselli: You and I often talk about how there are not enough patio bars and restaurants in Las Vegas because we do have such cool views.
• 17:51
  Dayna Roselli: So I'm glad to see this is going to be popular.
• 17:54
  Sean McAllister: It is.
• 17:55
  Sean McAllister: And in the summertime, I'm sure they have shade and misters up there.
• 17:58
  Sean McAllister: So it'll help you stay cool as you sip on a chili beer.
• 18:02
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 18:04
  Sean McAllister: Love it.
• 18:05
  Dayna Roselli: All right.
• 18:06
  Dayna Roselli: And we talked about like how things have been going up lately price-wise.
• 18:09
  Dayna Roselli: We've had a bunch of people write us and say, Hey, it's getting expensive over there in Vegas.
• 18:14
  Dayna Roselli: And then I was mentioning that I was going to London, and a lot of people on my plane were saying we had a great time, but it's was pretty pricey.
• 18:21
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so something that you found, actually, an article, um, basically breaks that down and says, Yeah, um, basically they they weren't wrong.
• 18:31
  Sean McAllister: No, room rates have reached a record high on the Las Vegas Strip.
• 18:36
  Sean McAllister: The average daily room rate for the month of October is now nearly$210 per night.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_01: Wow.
• 18:46
  Sean McAllister: That's a lot.
• 18:47
  Sean McAllister: It is.
• 18:48
  Sean McAllister: It's a m as a matter of fact, it's more than uh 20% from September's average room rate.
• 18:58
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that was 173.
• 19:00
  Dayna Roselli: So that's a huge jump in a month, right?
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 19:03
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but then it also talks about okay, so let's go back.
• 19:06
  Dayna Roselli: Let's go October 2019, you know, before the pandemic and all that.
• 19:10
  Dayna Roselli: And it says October's average daily room rate is uh more than 55% higher than it was in October of 2019.
• 19:20
  Dayna Roselli: Jeez.
• 19:20
  Dayna Roselli: So that's a big jump.
• 19:22
  Sean McAllister: It sure is.
• 19:23
  Dayna Roselli: Um visitor numbers, though, are up, um, jumped about 7% from 2021 to 2022.
• 19:29
  Dayna Roselli: So we have a lot more people uh visiting us.
• 19:32
  Dayna Roselli: So we like that.
• 19:33
  Dayna Roselli: And then we've got obviously tons of stuff coming into town in the next year, but they're also contributing the recent visitor jump because we had the When We Were Young music festival, we had two Raider Home Games, we had NASCAR, you know, the South Point 400 that you and I went to.
• 19:49
  Dayna Roselli: And so there's a lot there of why we had so many people in town.
• 19:52
  Dayna Roselli: Right now we've got the National Finals rodeo in town.
• 19:54
  Sean McAllister: Which there are cowboys everywhere.
• 19:57
  Dayna Roselli: Everywhere.
• 19:58
  Sean McAllister: You cannot toss a pebble without seeing cowboy boots and cowboy hats.
• 20:04
  Dayna Roselli: Which is a great segue right into our lineup of country music headliners that have either announced extensions, well, they've all announced extensions, actually.
• 20:15
  Dayna Roselli: Because and one of them, Carrie Underwood, who she she stopped doing shows over at Resorts World to go on tour, but just announced that she is actually coming back to Resorts World Theater.
• 20:24
  Dayna Roselli: I was excited to hear that.
• 20:25
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, so uh Carrie Underwood's Reflection residency is going to resume uh with 18 new shows in 2023.
• 20:35
  Sean McAllister: They start uh on June 21st, and then she'll have shows uh spread throughout the rest of the year until December 9th.
• 20:44
  Sean McAllister: So I mean, she just was selling out shows and uh fantastic.
• 20:52
  Dayna Roselli: You saw it and you loved it, right?
• 20:54
  Sean McAllister: Loved it.
• 20:55
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 20:55
  Dayna Roselli: I remember that you went to that.
• 20:57
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, Carrie's great.
• 20:58
  Dayna Roselli: And we just saw her perform on the American Music Awards, too.
• 21:01
  Sean McAllister: Right, and she was flying around in the sky uh yeah, a little acrobat ring.
• 21:06
  Sean McAllister: I wonder if she's gonna do any flying, if she'll add any flying to her uh residency now.
• 21:12
  Dayna Roselli: And possibly, possibly.
• 21:13
  Dayna Roselli: I think when I was reading the release, they were saying like that show's created just for you know the resort's world theater.
• 21:19
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 21:19
  Dayna Roselli: And she doesn't do the any well, a lot of the stuff that she does there doesn't mean she's gonna do that on tour.
• 21:24
  Dayna Roselli: It's like exclusive to that actual residency show.
• 21:28
  Dayna Roselli: So um we call this Garth Brooks extending his newly announced Caesars Palace residency.
• 21:33
  Dayna Roselli: We said already he's gonna announce more shows, I'm sure.
• 21:36
  Dayna Roselli: And boom, before he's even started, he's adding shows through 2024.
• 21:41
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and it it the nugget that we did uh find from this piece of information when Garth announced that he was going to do shows starting in 2023.
• 21:53
  Sean McAllister: It just said starting in 2023, and now it looks like May is going to be.
• 22:00
  Sean McAllister: General go date for uh Garth Brooks at the Coliseum at Caesars Palace.
• 22:05
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 22:06
  Dayna Roselli: And I guess uh he hasn't announced the dates for the 2024 run yet, but I see a lot of people on Facebook going for these tickets and saying, I got a Garth ticket, or I gotta because he's doing the verified link.
• 22:19
  Dayna Roselli: You know, people were saying that they got the link.
• 22:21
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 22:21
  Dayna Roselli: I'm in and this and that.
• 22:23
  Dayna Roselli: So I'm glad to see that that's going well.
• 22:25
  Dayna Roselli: So Garth Brooks Plus one.
• 22:27
  Dayna Roselli: And remember, we told you in a previous podcast that means he says he's doing kind of changing it up every show.
• 22:33
  Dayna Roselli: He might have a surprise guest come up on stage with him.
• 22:37
  Dayna Roselli: The band is gonna change, they might walk out into the audience.
• 22:41
  Dayna Roselli: So you can expect a different experience every time you go.
• 22:44
  Sean McAllister: And we uh expect to find out the new dates for 2024 uh once he kicks off his first set of shows uh coming up in May.
• 22:55
  Sean McAllister: Another country star who's sticking around for a little bit more.
• 22:59
  Sean McAllister: We actually have known this for a long time since she started, Miranda Lambert.
• 23:06
  Sean McAllister: Um, I think we even mentioned back after we went to the debut of her Velvet Rodeo residency over at Planet Hollywood that she had said at an after party she was gonna be sticking around for a couple years.
• 23:19
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, she did, and actually I think she mentioned at the end of the show because remember the actual show on stage, and we were like, I don't know if she was supposed to say that.
• 23:27
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 23:28
  Sean McAllister: We said, wait a second, is that news?
• 23:30
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 23:31
  Dayna Roselli: Then we went to the after party and it was kind of like affirm.
• 23:34
  Dayna Roselli: But so I mean, I think maybe they weren't supposed to say that, but um, her plan in her mind was to be around for two more years, and now they have announced that that that's official.
• 23:45
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so she's gonna be doing uh an additional 16 performances tacked onto what she already has planned.
• 23:54
  Dayna Roselli: So she's added these 2023 dates to her residency called Velvet Rodeo.
• 23:59
  Dayna Roselli: It's over at Planet Hollywood at Zappos Theater.
• 24:02
  Dayna Roselli: Um, then the new shows will be in July and December.
• 24:05
  Dayna Roselli: So those are the dates that she's added on um to her already planned performances.
• 24:11
  Dayna Roselli: But we saw it.
• 24:11
  Dayna Roselli: It was a great show.
• 24:12
  Dayna Roselli: If you love Miranda, it's very raw.
• 24:15
  Dayna Roselli: She brings it, and the crowd just really seemed to have a great time that really knew her music well, too.
• 24:21
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it was a really fun time.
• 24:23
  Sean McAllister: So glad that Miranda is sticking around.
• 24:26
  Sean McAllister: Um, a piece of uh Las Vegas entertainment, at least as far as the strip is concerned, that kind of had a heyday and then phased out a little bit was Broadway shows being on the Las Vegas strip.
• 24:40
  Sean McAllister: At one time we had Mamma Mia, we had Lion King, we had uh Avenue Q, we had Hairspray.
• 24:49
  Sean McAllister: Um and these were all like resident shows, Jersey boys.
• 24:52
  Sean McAllister: That's right.
• 24:52
  Dayna Roselli: What's the other one?
• 24:53
  Dayna Roselli: Um that Mark Chinook was in.
• 24:56
  Dayna Roselli: Uh our friend Mark was still there.
• 24:58
  Sean McAllister: It was Rock of Ages.
• 24:59
  Dayna Roselli: Rock of Ages, yeah, that was there too, at the Venetian for a long time.
• 25:02
  Sean McAllister: At the Venetian.
• 25:03
  Sean McAllister: And speaking of the Venetian, they are now welcoming back another Broadway show, Six the Musical, which uh uh a month or so ago we talked about it was touring at the Smith Center here in Las Vegas.
• 25:19
  Sean McAllister: But now uh the show is going to be sitting down for a seven-week run over at the Venetian, over at the Palazzo Theater.
• 25:28
  Sean McAllister: Uh, they're going to be doing eight shows a week.
• 25:32
  Sean McAllister: And uh it's I it's such a fun show.
• 25:36
  Sean McAllister: It's more of a rock pop concert than it is uh a traditional musical, right?
• 25:44
  Sean McAllister: If that makes any sense.
• 25:45
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 25:46
  Dayna Roselli: Well, you saw it on Broadway and then you saw it twice at the Smith Center, didn't you?
• 25:49
  Sean McAllister: I did, yeah.
• 25:50
  Dayna Roselli: Which to me shows right there.
• 25:52
  Dayna Roselli: It's like if you're gonna go back that many times, it has to be good.
• 25:55
  Dayna Roselli: And we always say a Vegas show should be something where once you leave, you're like, I would go back and see that again.
• 26:01
  Sean McAllister: Totally.
• 26:01
  Sean McAllister: And the music is it it's catchy, it's fun.
• 26:05
  Sean McAllister: I have the soundtrack that plays in my car when I hop in and plug in my phone.
• 26:11
  Sean McAllister: Um, but if you don't know, Six of the Musical is based on the six X-wives of Henry the Eighth.
• 26:18
  Sean McAllister: So they're all kind of reinvented into variations of uh different pop stars.
• 26:25
  Sean McAllister: There's different pop stars who you can tell influence each of the different characters, um, but they kind of tell their own stories through pop and rock music.
• 26:35
  Sean McAllister: And they're battling out to see who is the ultimate ex-wife.
• 26:42
  Sean McAllister: That's kind of the plot line of the show.
• 26:45
  Sean McAllister: Okay.
• 26:45
  Sean McAllister: Um, but you don't really need the plot line.
• 26:48
  Sean McAllister: Be familiar with the music, get ready to go and have a great time.
• 26:52
  Sean McAllister: It feels like you're at a concert.
• 26:54
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that should be good.
• 26:55
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, so it's at the Palazzo Theater inside the Venetian.
• 26:58
  Dayna Roselli: That's a great theater, too.
• 26:59
  Dayna Roselli: It's beautiful.
• 26:59
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, that's gonna be good.
• 27:01
  Dayna Roselli: All right, and it starts what March 21st of 2023.
• 27:05
  Sean McAllister: Yep.
• 27:05
  Dayna Roselli: Uh so welcome.
• 27:06
  Dayna Roselli: That'll be great.
• 27:08
  Sean McAllister: And Dana, uh, before we get to tips, I want to bring up Boy George because you had mentioned that our friend Stacy Galandi had produced the behind the music of Boy George.
• 27:22
  Sean McAllister: And you actually just went over to Stacy's house to screen the episode.
• 27:27
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it was the first time.
• 27:28
  Dayna Roselli: Fun.
• 27:28
  Dayna Roselli: A group of us went over there to see it.
• 27:30
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, she had kind of held off even watching it in full until we all gathered with her uh for 24 hours.
• 27:36
  Dayna Roselli: But we streamed it, we watched it.
• 27:37
  Dayna Roselli: It was so interesting.
• 27:39
  Dayna Roselli: It's about 50 minutes, it was really good.
• 27:41
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but you know, she did the interview over at Thriller Mansion, is what it's called.
• 27:47
  Dayna Roselli: And it's where Michael Jackson lived at uh when he lived in Las Vegas, a part of the time that he lived here anyway.
• 27:55
  Dayna Roselli: And um, they now, I guess, house some liberacci items there.
• 28:00
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know the full story.
• 28:01
  Dayna Roselli: I think you know more maybe about that.
• 28:03
  Sean McAllister: I think I think on my my YouTube channel I have a whole feature story kind of going through.
• 28:10
  Sean McAllister: Maybe I'll I'll tweet that out or something.
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 28:13
  Sean McAllister: Um, but there's an entire, I mean, there's essentially a liberace museum that is housed inside of the thriller villa, which i is a beautiful property, but it's fitting that that's where boy George wanted to sit down and do his interview and talk about even the influences on his own music career.
• 28:36
  Dayna Roselli: Well, so Stacy was saying, yes, Boy George all the it's is was really taken by Liberace.
• 28:42
  Dayna Roselli: So he was so excited to go in and do his interview at this site because he was just, you know, and you'll see in the piece when he walks in and sees the outfits and the different memorabilia from Liberaci, he is it's almost like he's starstruck.
• 28:59
  Sean McAllister: Oh, I bet.
• 28:59
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I mean, it's iconic stuff.
• 29:02
  Dayna Roselli: He said it was such an influence, like you mentioned.
• 29:04
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and then we went on his social media right before we were gonna start the podcast and realized that he just dropped a song called How to Be a Chandelier, and it's his tribute to the great liberace, he said.
• 29:15
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and listen why he did this, why he wrote this song.
• 29:18
  SPEAKER_00: How to be a chandelier is my tribute to the great liberace who was someone I talked about a lot when I was starting out, you know, because growing up I used to see liberacci and see how fun point he was.
• 29:30
  SPEAKER_00: And I was just always impressed by his uh extravagance and also as a musician as well.
• 29:37
  SPEAKER_00: I wonder what in Vegas 30 this year and trying to visit the Frank Cena Fuchsia team in San Bedrock's Junior all the kind of great rap fact guys, but nothing of Liberace was like he watched on the face of Vegas Planet.
• 29:49
  SPEAKER_00: So I wanted to write a song about him because I think he is an important LGBTQI plus pioneer.
• 29:56
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah.
• 29:57
  SPEAKER_00: How to be a chandelier.
• 29:59
  SPEAKER_00: I learned that from Liberace.
• 30:01
  Dayna Roselli: And it's interesting, a good point that we do not see a lot of Liberacci memorabilia photos and all that.
• 30:13
  Dayna Roselli: Um, you're he he makes a good point.
• 30:16
  Dayna Roselli: There's a lot of rat pack and not a lot of liberacci.
• 30:19
  Sean McAllister: It's true, and even Elvis.
• 30:20
  Sean McAllister: I mean, he didn't start wearing those sequin jumpsuits until he hung out with Liberacci and you know the jumpsuit became a signature Elvis thing.
• 30:34
  Sean McAllister: You know, Michael Jackson, his you know, mirrored glove was kind of inspired by the flash and glitz of Liberacci.
• 30:43
  Sean McAllister: Uh Brittany Spears, um, my god, I mean, name an entertainer, and you can find Liberaci's influence on them.
• 30:54
  Dayna Roselli: It's so true.
• 30:54
  Dayna Roselli: And we were trying to think and we're like, where I was like, Resorts World has something Liberacci there.
• 31:00
  Dayna Roselli: I can't remember.
• 31:00
  Dayna Roselli: I actually got some video of it.
• 31:01
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know if it was a painting on the wall or something like that.
• 31:02
  Dayna Roselli: It calls a mural.
• 31:04
  Dayna Roselli: Or yeah, a mural.
• 31:05
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 31:05
  Dayna Roselli: And then you were saying there's something like kind of behind the Westgate as you drive down like Joe Brown Drive.
• 31:10
  Dayna Roselli: Yep.
• 31:11
  Dayna Roselli: You can see it.
• 31:12
  Dayna Roselli: But other than that, we don't see a lot of Liberace uh stuff around town anymore.
• 31:16
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, Boy George noticed that when he came to do his shows over at the win and said, you know what?
• 31:22
  Dayna Roselli: Here's my tribute.
• 31:23
  Dayna Roselli: Um, he's coming back to the win, Boy George and the Culture Club as well.
• 31:27
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, it's a really interesting piece.
• 31:29
  Dayna Roselli: Uh Stacy said, you know, she she loved doing it.
• 31:32
  Dayna Roselli: She learned so much.
• 31:34
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it's funny, he talks about at one point how he, I think it was um, I can't remember what song it is that starts really slow.
• 31:40
  Dayna Roselli: I think it's time.
• 31:41
  Dayna Roselli: Wait.
• 31:42
  Dayna Roselli: Do you really wanna hurt?
• 31:44
  Dayna Roselli: That one.
• 31:45
  Dayna Roselli: And he was saying, like, it took off.
• 31:46
  Dayna Roselli: And like to me, it was such a boring song.
• 31:48
  Dayna Roselli: I was like, it's a little slow and this and that.
• 31:50
  Dayna Roselli: But it's funny how you get to hear his perspective of what songs took off and what you know, how they became really big off certain things that they wrote or performed and didn't expect it to go as crazy as it did, but then they crossed over to America and and Culture Club.
• 32:07
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, when you watch this, you're like, it's one hit after the other.
• 32:11
  Dayna Roselli: He's got tons of hits, boy George.
• 32:14
  Sean McAllister: That's great.
• 32:14
  Sean McAllister: So it's gonna be great to have him back here on stage in Las Vegas.
• 32:17
  Sean McAllister: It will be.
• 32:18
  Dayna Roselli: Now we'll officially get to our tips.
• 32:20
  Dayna Roselli: How about that?
• 32:24
  Sean McAllister: All right.
• 32:25
  Sean McAllister: Starting off, our tips is something that'll give you a bit of a jolt with the aloha spirit on the side.
• 32:33
  Sean McAllister: And this is, I mean, anytime we can talk about coffee, it's a good thing.
• 32:38
  Sean McAllister: Dana, I think you and I are both coffee connoisseurs.
• 32:41
  Dayna Roselli: We are.
• 32:42
  Dayna Roselli: And I love a good coffee shop too.
• 32:44
  Dayna Roselli: And it's interesting because I never used to be one to hop around, but I've been really enjoying it lately as I don't know, I feel like I'm even more of a fan of coffee lately than I was even before.
• 32:54
  Dayna Roselli: Really?
• 32:54
  Dayna Roselli: And trying some different things.
• 32:56
  Dayna Roselli: I don't love super sweet drinks, but I've been trying different kinds of things that aren't sweet.
• 33:01
  Sean McAllister: Well, probably because for all the years of being a morning news anchor, you had to just like slam your coffee to get the the energy flowing.
• 33:10
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 33:10
  Sean McAllister: And you didn't have time just to sit back and sip and enjoy.
• 33:14
  Dayna Roselli: Good point.
• 33:15
  Dayna Roselli: There was no time to make it fancy.
• 33:17
  Sean McAllister: No.
• 33:17
  Dayna Roselli: It was like you had like a quick commercial break to go fill up.
• 33:20
  Dayna Roselli: And it was like black with a splash of take that folders straight from the pot.
• 33:25
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, plastic creamer from the little, you know, those little you pop the paper top.
• 33:31
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, uh, there's a new coffee shop that is uh in Las Vegas.
• 33:35
  Dayna Roselli: It's gonna be opening on December 5th.
• 33:38
  Dayna Roselli: And we're super excited about this because it's called Bad Ass Coffee, but it is named after, it's like a nod, basically, to the donkeys who haul coffee beans on Hawaiian coffee farms.
• 33:54
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 33:55
  Dayna Roselli: But it's got this whole Hawaiian.
• 33:57
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it's like we have such a big population of Hawaiian people that live here.
• 34:02
  Dayna Roselli: More than 50,000 Hawaiians live here.
• 34:04
  Dayna Roselli: And I looked it up.
• 34:05
  Dayna Roselli: One in 10 Hawaiians visit Las Vegas every year.
• 34:09
  Dayna Roselli: Wow.
• 34:09
  Dayna Roselli: So we get visitors and residents, and that's why they call us the Ninth Island.
• 34:13
  Dayna Roselli: So to have a Hawaiian coffee shop in Las Vegas is huge.
• 34:18
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, so they're gonna be serving up uh Hawaiian brews and some tropical uh inspired food items as well.
• 34:27
  Sean McAllister: And I'm excited about this.
• 34:28
  Sean McAllister: So am I.
• 34:29
  Dayna Roselli: And it's gonna be located on Charleston and Jones.
• 34:32
  Dayna Roselli: Um, in case you're that area wondering where it's gonna be located.
• 34:36
  Dayna Roselli: They're gonna be doing a grand opening in the future, and um we'll talk more about it then.
• 34:40
  Dayna Roselli: But I guess if you download the app, by the way, you get a free cup of coffee.
• 34:44
  Dayna Roselli: So uh welcome, badass coffee.
• 34:47
  Dayna Roselli: We are excited to have a Hawaiian-themed coffee shop with the beans right from those Kona beans right here in Las Vegas.
• 34:57
  Sean McAllister: And I think uh the coffee that is being used, uh some of it's grown on the big island and some of it's grown on uh Kauai.
• 35:08
  Sean McAllister: So I've I've gone and toured some of the coffee fields of Kauai.
• 35:14
  Sean McAllister: It's cool.
• 35:15
  Sean McAllister: And so I I mean it's Hawaii.
• 35:18
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it's beautiful.
• 35:19
  Dayna Roselli: It's everything tastes better in Hawaii.
• 35:21
  Sean McAllister: The island of Kauai is just it automatically just relaxed me, even thinking about it.
• 35:28
  Sean McAllister: I love it there.
• 35:29
  Dayna Roselli: Well, I better do the next tip then.
• 35:31
  Dayna Roselli: You relax.
• 35:31
  Dayna Roselli: How about that?
• 35:33
  Dayna Roselli: Let me bring it up.
• 35:34
  Dayna Roselli: All right, let's go up to downtown Fremont Hotel and Casino, debuting a new food haul this month.
• 35:40
  Dayna Roselli: We've even talked about the Fremont Hotel and Casino.
• 35:42
  Dayna Roselli: I don't even know if ever on this podcast.
• 35:44
  Dayna Roselli: So I'm glad that we get to get this in, right?
• 35:46
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so they're opening a new food haul.
• 35:49
  Dayna Roselli: It's gonna be opening in mid-December, so should be soon here, shortly.
• 35:53
  Dayna Roselli: They're bringing in six national, regional, and local casual dining brands with um including, I should say, let's see, steak and shake, which is always good.
• 36:04
  Dayna Roselli: I love steak and shake.
• 36:05
  Sean McAllister: I haven't heard of Huey McGoose.
• 36:06
  Sean McAllister: Have you?
• 36:07
  Sean McAllister: I've seen Huey Magoose.
• 36:09
  Sean McAllister: I have not been, though.
• 36:11
  Dayna Roselli: And what's is it Rolly Rotti?
• 36:13
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know if I'm saying that right.
• 36:15
  Sean McAllister: Rolly Roti.
• 36:16
  Dayna Roselli: Rolly Roti.
• 36:18
  Dayna Roselli: And then Craft Kitchen, which we know when is great.
• 36:21
  Dayna Roselli: Tomo noodles, and then a Duncan, of course.
• 36:24
  Dayna Roselli: Um, will all be in there.
• 36:26
  Dayna Roselli: It's a grand opening scheduled for January 12th.
• 36:30
  Dayna Roselli: It's gonna be about 13,150 square feet.
• 36:34
  Dayna Roselli: So it's a big space, and it'll be right there at the Fremont Hotel and Casino.
• 36:38
  Dayna Roselli: So another dining option, which I think is great.
• 36:41
  Sean McAllister: It is, and for downtown.
• 36:47
  Sean McAllister: Uh here in Las Vegas as of late.
• 36:49
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 36:49
  Sean McAllister: Uh the Uncommons development has a food hall.
• 36:52
  Sean McAllister: I believe uh the new Durango Casino is supposed to have its own food hall.
• 36:58
  Sean McAllister: We now have a food hall downtown.
• 37:01
  Dayna Roselli: Um I think you know, and I think when we say like, well, what makes it different than like a food court?
• 37:06
  Dayna Roselli: I feel like food courts are like mostly really fast food-y type restaurants.
• 37:12
  Dayna Roselli: And this food hall concept is a mix of both, which I think is good.
• 37:16
  Dayna Roselli: Like if you want something a little better, if you want something real cheap, if you're worried about maybe, you know, going a little healthier, there's a good variety.
• 37:24
  Sean McAllister: And I feel like even Italy on the on the strip over at Park MGM is kind of uh in that food hall vein as well.
• 37:32
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 37:33
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, definitely.
• 37:34
  Sean McAllister: So where it feels like a marketplace instead of a food court.
• 37:37
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, no, you're right.
• 37:39
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, uh new food hall coming to Fremont Hotel, and then badass coffee opening on Charleston near Jones.
• 37:45
  Dayna Roselli: Those are our tips this week.
• 37:47
  Dayna Roselli: We always think of things as we sit here and go on and on and on that we need to talk about coming up in the future.
• 37:52
  Dayna Roselli: But you and I will be doing a bunch of stuff next week, and we are going to have plenty to talk about two brand new things opening at the Venetian.
• 38:00
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 38:00
  Dayna Roselli: So, and one of them is uh the Flight Club, which we talked about here on the podcast before.
• 38:06
  Dayna Roselli: In the past, we interviewed, didn't we interview the CEO or the president?
• 38:09
  Dayna Roselli: I think we did um about the darts kind of concept, restaurant-ish.
• 38:13
  Dayna Roselli: What would you call it?
• 38:14
  Sean McAllister: Attraction is a a a social club.
• 38:17
  Sean McAllister: Social club built around darts.
• 38:20
  Dayna Roselli: Yep, that's exactly it, Sean.
• 38:22
  Sean McAllister: So we'll be talking about that in the very near future.
• 38:26
  Sean McAllister: A big thank you to our sponsor, Vegas Near Me.
• 38:29
