  Dayna Roselli: I mean, just we could go on and on forever.
• 0:41
  Dayna Roselli: We all know the situation that we're in worldwide, really, but especially, you know, and right now across our country we're feeling it.
• 0:48
  Dayna Roselli: A lot of closures.
• 0:49
  Dayna Roselli: Las Vegas is still open at 25% capacity.
• 0:52
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and I think as we as we look back through our uh library of episodes from the start of 2020, it it it's really is kind of an interesting thing to to go through and and listen to because we we started out literally out on the strip at live events and and you know bringing uh snippets of our experiences out on the strip to you on Vegas Revealed, and then you know, we we moved from the studio at the Venetian to a home studio where we've been now, uh, and it's become our home.
• 1:31
  Sean McAllister: I know.
• 1:32
  Dayna Roselli: Whoever thought, right?
• 1:33
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, and if you're interested, maybe you're just discovering, Sean and I.
• 1:37
  Dayna Roselli: We've both been in broadcasting for a long time and a very long time here in Las Vegas.
• 1:41
  Dayna Roselli: So we we know a lot of people, we know a lot of things, we have a lot of tips.
• 1:44
  Dayna Roselli: But if you're interested to go back and listen to some of our podcasts from the past, we've got some great interviews with uh former mayor Oscar Goodman, who was, you know, a mob attorney back in the day.
• 1:54
  Dayna Roselli: We interviewed Derek Stevens about Circa.
• 1:57
  Dayna Roselli: We were at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino when it finally closed its doors and began the revamp for Virgin.
• 2:04
  Sean McAllister: Which uh it's exciting to report that a lot of um at least the aesthetic portions of the Virgin Hotel are are nearing completion on the outside.
• 2:16
  Sean McAllister: I just was over there and drove past the other day, and the the signs in the parking lot area that direct you where to go, those are all up.
• 2:26
  Sean McAllister: The uh valet area, the portico share out in front of the hotel, that's all finished.
• 2:32
  Sean McAllister: That's all gold and shiny and beautiful.
• 2:35
  Sean McAllister: So Virgin Hotel is really coming along.
• 2:38
  Dayna Roselli: Good.
• 2:39
  Dayna Roselli: I'm excited for anything that will open and freshen up, you know, we have that to look forward to coming up this spring.
• 2:45
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and hey, a big shout out to all the uh Backstreet Boys fans who blew up our YouTube channel.
• 2:50
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, we've got all sorts of new subscribers, and you know, that video is like almost at 10,000 views.
• 2:56
  Dayna Roselli: So we're glad that you all enjoyed it and just want to give a big shout out.
• 2:59
  Dayna Roselli: Thanks for the support.
• 3:00
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and thanks to Nick Carter for taking the time to chat with Vegas Revealed.
• 3:04
  Sean McAllister: Uh so obviously the big event, it's it's New Year's Eve, Dana.
• 3:08
  Sean McAllister: I know.
• 3:09
  Sean McAllister: And the countdown, I know everybody is ready.
• 3:12
  Sean McAllister: Even though things aren't going to change with the flip of a switch, at least 2021 is providing some hope and some optimism.
• 3:21
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, I think it's like a mental thing, right?
• 3:23
  Dayna Roselli: We just say, oh, it's 2021, finally a new year, but we all kind of know that it's probably not going to change much, and we're probably gonna feel the effects of everything that's happened even more, but we want to stay positive.
• 3:34
  Dayna Roselli: So, yes, 2021 is on the way.
• 3:37
  Dayna Roselli: And as we mentioned, Las Vegas is doing this virtual live stream countdown to midnight, which is really cool since we're not doing the the fireworks on the strip this year.
• 3:46
  Dayna Roselli: So we found out a little bit more.
• 3:49
  Dayna Roselli: They are gonna have a DJ, and and I love that they picked DJ Vice from the Tau group because he's been on the strip for a very long time.
• 3:57
  Sean McAllister: Oh, he's been around Vegas forever.
• 3:59
  Dayna Roselli: And he deserves this, yeah.
• 4:00
  Sean McAllister: He certainly does.
• 4:02
  Dayna Roselli: Sure.
• 4:02
  Dayna Roselli: So he's gonna be there, and he's you know an artist and producer, and he's creating the whole thing.
• 4:06
  Dayna Roselli: So that's kind of cool.
• 4:06
  Dayna Roselli: DJ Vice will be the featured DJ for this event.
• 4:09
  Dayna Roselli: It kicks off at 11:30 p.m.
• 4:11
  Dayna Roselli: and they're gonna blow up 2020.
• 4:13
  Dayna Roselli: Welcome in 2021.
• 4:14
  Dayna Roselli: I can't wait to see what they do.
• 4:16
  Dayna Roselli: And you can see it at visitlosvegas.com.
• 4:19
  Dayna Roselli: You can also see it on the uh Las Vegas YouTube and Facebook.
• 4:23
  Dayna Roselli: And we're talking about the L V C V A, the only Vegas.
• 4:27
  Dayna Roselli: Uh so just search Vegas at Vegas on social, they'll have the links.
• 4:30
  Sean McAllister: That's right.
• 4:30
  Sean McAllister: And you can go to our uh Vegas-revealed.com and also our Vegas Revealed uh Twitter, Facebook, Instagram.
• 4:39
  Sean McAllister: We'll put all the all the links up there as well so that we can all just sit back and and ring in 2021, blow up 2020, bid it farewell, keep it in the rear view, move forward into uh a good new year.
• 4:56
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 4:56
  Sean McAllister: And with uh the new year comes uh some shows that are coming back, Dana.
• 5:01
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 5:02
  Dayna Roselli: Brad Garrett's Comedy Club at MGM Grand decided to reopen on December 26th with two shows nightly at 7 and 10.
• 5:09
  Dayna Roselli: And, you know, they were doing it before, and I assume they're still doing it this way in a big ballroom.
• 5:13
  Dayna Roselli: So there's plenty of space.
• 5:14
  Dayna Roselli: You know, they can only have the max capacity of 50 guests, and they have to have the six feet between the parties, a minimum of 25 feet from the onstage performers.
• 5:23
  Dayna Roselli: But they thought, you know what, we are able to do this, and they're providing entertainment for folks that stay at MGM Grand, that are visiting Las Vegas.
• 5:30
  Dayna Roselli: Brad Garrett, not on the schedule, but he always picks a great list of comedians, they're so funny.
• 5:35
  Sean McAllister: Oh, and he has such an incredible lineup over at uh his comedy club.
• 5:40
  Sean McAllister: Those comedians really are hilarious.
• 5:42
  Sean McAllister: So you can't go wrong, whoever is performing.
• 5:44
  Sean McAllister: So Brad Garrett's Comedy Club over at MGM Grand, uh coming back as we uh head into the new year.
• 5:51
  Sean McAllister: Also, Dana, I do want to mention one show that has never closed down is Extravaganza over at Bally's.
• 6:00
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 6:00
  Sean McAllister: They're in the old Jubilee showroom, which is a beautiful classic Vegas showroom.
• 6:05
  Sean McAllister: And Extravaganza is uh they came back when they were able to have 250 people in the showroom, and then almost immediately the ordinance went into effect that only allowed 50 people, and the producers of that show, kudos to them.
• 6:22
  Sean McAllister: They said, you know what, Vegas needs live entertainment.
• 6:25
  Sean McAllister: We're going to push through, we're gonna keep our entertainers working, we're gonna keep a show open for uh, you know, as many people as can come and see it, and uh to show you know the the fruits of the labor that's gone into it.
• 6:41
  Sean McAllister: Every single one of their shows has been sold out, even though it is only 50 people allowed.
• 6:47
  Sean McAllister: But what they've done, Dana, is that they've added additional performances.
• 6:52
  Sean McAllister: I think they're doing three or four performances a day to try and accommodate the volume of people who want to come and see that show.
• 7:00
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 7:01
  Dayna Roselli: No, listen, you gotta do what you gotta do.
• 7:02
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, shout out and kudos to them because it's they they have a big cast.
• 7:07
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 7:07
  Dayna Roselli: It's like I think 30 plus people in that show.
• 7:10
  Dayna Roselli: So they're, you know, probably fronting up some money for that just to keep everyone working.
• 7:14
  Dayna Roselli: And I think that's wonderful.
• 7:15
  Dayna Roselli: And what an intimate experience to go in that big theater and see a show with, you know, maximum of 50 people.
• 7:21
  Dayna Roselli: Talk about a date night for you and your it's like it's like uh, you know, it's such a like a great guy move to like rent out the oh, I I got the whole theater for us.
• 7:29
  Dayna Roselli: Just us and and and 48 people.
• 7:32
  Sean McAllister: And a word to the wise.
• 7:33
  Sean McAllister: If you do want to go and see extravaganza over there at Bally's, make sure that you book ahead because uh tickets are hard to get at this point, and you do need to uh look a few weeks out to make sure that you get a seat.
• 7:45
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 7:46
  Dayna Roselli: Um, the Rio is officially open, by the way.
• 7:49
  Dayna Roselli: That's good to know.
• 7:50
  Dayna Roselli: That's just off the strip, so that's the final Caesars Entertainment property that opened the big Rio over there, and they're doing the World Series of poker and all that.
• 7:58
  Dayna Roselli: Um, no word on any of the shows reopening just yet.
• 8:01
  Dayna Roselli: I don't think Penn and Teller are coming back or announced yet.
• 8:04
  Dayna Roselli: Chip and Dales are not back yet, but the hotel casino is open.
• 8:09
  Dayna Roselli: However, the Mirage announced that it's closing midweek and not even just like the rooms, like they're closing the whole shebang.
• 8:16
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, because we've talked, you know, in past episodes about uh resorts that are closing down hotel operations during the middle of the week, but the Mirage is now closing down all operations.
• 8:30
  Sean McAllister: You can't go into the casino, none of the attractions, none of the dining, none of the hotel is going to be open midweek.
• 8:38
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 8:38
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, the volcano is closing.
• 8:40
  Sean McAllister: Even the volcano, I know.
• 8:42
  Dayna Roselli: What?
• 8:43
  Dayna Roselli: No volcano midweek, but yeah.
• 8:45
  Dayna Roselli: Listen, uh, they had to make a business decision and and they're doing it, and hopefully they'll be very busy and thriving from Thursday at noon to Monday at noon each week.
• 8:54
  Sean McAllister: And so that starts on January 4th, um, 2021.
• 9:00
  Sean McAllister: So um Yeah.
• 9:02
  Sean McAllister: You know, we hope that that that trend is going to turn around as quickly as possible because we do want things to be fully open and invite people back and obviously keep everyone safe in the process.
• 9:14
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and I want to talk uh room rates, because that's been a hot topic on social media in just a minute.
• 9:20
  Dayna Roselli: I also want to chat about what you and I did on Christmas because we both ate at restaurants on the strip.
• 9:24
  Dayna Roselli: But uh something I wanted to mention is I was Christmas Eve, uh my friend had her family over.
• 9:31
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, we went over and did a little wine and socially distance hang, and I was talking to her brother who was telling me he wants to start a podcast.
• 9:39
  Dayna Roselli: He's been doing these podcasts kind of on his own and he hasn't been able to post them.
• 9:43
  Dayna Roselli: And he was chatting with me and saying, How do you even post a podcast?
• 9:47
  Dayna Roselli: So, you know, we thought we would share and kind of offer a little bit of a deal information about BuzzSprout.
• 9:53
  Dayna Roselli: That's the host site that we use here at Vegas Revealed.
• 9:57
  Dayna Roselli: And they are offering listeners a$20 Amazon gift card for every sign-up for a paid account.
• 10:04
  Sean McAllister: What I have really loved about, you know, working with BuzzSprout is not only the analytics where we get to see who's listening around the country and around the world, but they really are helpful in sending out newsletters and really supporting you as a podcaster and giving you really great information to improve the quality of your podcast, to really understand the environment, to help attract sponsors.
• 10:31
  Sean McAllister: So it really is an all-around great platform to use.
• 10:36
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and the thing is, is I don't, it's funny because you and I, when we started this podcast, we didn't know anything about podcasting.
• 10:43
  Dayna Roselli: But then when we discovered, okay, here's a great, we need a host site.
• 10:46
  Dayna Roselli: So we went to Buzz Sprout, and then literally everything just falls into your lap from there.
• 10:50
  Dayna Roselli: It's very simple.
• 10:51
  Dayna Roselli: They do offer a free service, but it'll delete all your podcasts.
• 10:55
  Dayna Roselli: So you've got to get the one level up.
• 10:56
  Dayna Roselli: It's only 12 bucks a month.
• 10:58
  Dayna Roselli: That's all you need.
• 10:59
  Dayna Roselli: It does everything for you.
• 11:00
  Dayna Roselli: You sign up, you throw in the artwork, you put your caption, it gives you a website and shows you where your podcast is listed.
• 11:07
  Dayna Roselli: It gives all the details.
• 11:09
  Dayna Roselli: Really cool.
• 11:10
  Dayna Roselli: It also easily allows you to get listed on all the apps that you want: iHeart, Spotify, Apple, Google, you name it, the list goes on.
• 11:22
  Dayna Roselli: People think, oh gosh, what do I have to do to get listed on all these apps?
• 11:25
  Dayna Roselli: But it's really simple because BuzzSprout makes it simple.
• 11:28
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, BuzzSprout is uh the go-to place to make podcasting easy, BuzzSprout.com.
• 11:35
  Dayna Roselli: In our listener notes, when you're listening to our podcast, we've put a link there.
• 11:39
  Dayna Roselli: If you click that and you want to join, just do that and you'll get a$20 Amazon gift card.
• 11:44
  Dayna Roselli: So it's a good deal, and I promise you, if you've ever wanted to start a podcast, you need to do it.
• 11:49
  Sean McAllister: Dana, I want to get back to the room rates because this is something that you posted about on your Twitter page.
• 11:56
  Sean McAllister: You posted a screenshot of a room deal at it wasn't even a deal, it was just the flat rate at Treasure Island, and rooms were nothing, literally nothing.
• 12:08
  Sean McAllister: Zero dollars.
• 12:09
  Dayna Roselli: Zero dollars.
• 12:10
  Dayna Roselli: It was insane.
• 12:11
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, I heard a lot of people talking about these$5 and$7 room rates.
• 12:14
  Dayna Roselli: So I went on Expedia, which is what I always use, and looked, and I saw Treasure Island was zero dollars.
• 12:21
  Dayna Roselli: Now you pay taxes and the resort fee, so it was like$42 or something a night.
• 12:26
  Dayna Roselli: But we were all chatting, going, I mean, hey, that's like cheaper than rent, and you get, you know, room service, free Wi-Fi, you get, you know, cable TV and movies.
• 12:35
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 12:35
  Sean McAllister: And housekeeping.
• 12:36
  Dayna Roselli: And housekeeping, right, yes, room service.
• 12:38
  Dayna Roselli: All right.
• 12:39
  Dayna Roselli: And so it was something to think about.
• 12:42
  Dayna Roselli: And then people were amazed.
• 12:43
  Dayna Roselli: It got a lot of feedback saying, you know, uh, this isn't what we want.
• 12:47
  Dayna Roselli: Of course, we love a good deal, but we don't want rooms at zero dollars, or and like you were saying earlier, the Stratosphere and other hotels on the strip, I think it was Xcaliber, they were in the seven to nine dollar range too.
• 13:02
  Dayna Roselli: So it wasn't that much more expensive.
• 13:03
  Sean McAllister: No, there were uh a handful of other properties that that did have room rates going from single digits up to the low double digits, like uh definitely under 20 bucks.
• 13:13
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 13:14
  Sean McAllister: And I mean, that's it's something that I have personally never ever seen in my 15 years of living here in Las Vegas.
• 13:24
  Sean McAllister: And we've been here through some other tough times too.
• 13:28
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it it's incredible.
• 13:30
  Dayna Roselli: People are are frustrated with the low room rates because and I say people, I mean people that live here because we want to keep the quality of Las Vegas.
• 13:37
  Dayna Roselli: Obviously, we want to attract people to come and spend money and enjoy themselves and and use these rooms that are open, but let's just say it's attracting, you know, a less well-behaved crowd.
• 13:48
  Dayna Roselli: A lot of people, I think it was um a friend of mine was going to stay, had family, and they were gonna stay at Red Rock.
• 13:54
  Dayna Roselli: And then Red Rock upped their prices because they too want a well-behaved crowd at Red Rock.
• 14:00
  Dayna Roselli: And so these people that were gonna stay there, they moved to the strip, but the Luxor got a cheaper price, and you know, for them it worked out saving money-wise.
• 14:07
  Dayna Roselli: But like it's interesting to see the tactics going on, and even when you look at this week, we quickly just looked up on Expedia, you know, did the room rates go up?
• 14:15
  Dayna Roselli: And still you can get Treasure Island for 29 bucks.
• 14:18
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I think uh browse around 36 bucks at the Orleans, um,$26 at the Strat.
• 14:27
  Dayna Roselli: So there are a lot of low prices even for a New Year's Eve week.
• 14:33
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I know.
• 14:33
  Sean McAllister: And this is usually when we would see uh even at the link, wow, that prices are$32, flamingo, the same price.
• 14:41
  Sean McAllister: Um again, New Year's Eve.
• 14:43
  Sean McAllister: This is when we would normally be welcoming 300,000 visitors to Las Vegas.
• 14:50
  Sean McAllister: At least, I think in in years past, it's even been you know up to half a million visitors that would come in just for the weekend.
• 14:58
  Sean McAllister: Um, you know, obviously this year we don't have big festivities, big in-person festivities uh going on.
• 15:06
  Sean McAllister: Um and so you don't have the the room rates reflecting that.
• 15:12
  Sean McAllister: Usually this is you know when we would see prices be bumped up.
• 15:17
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 15:17
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 15:18
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, and I put in when we're talking about like$32 at the link and$41 at at Planet Hollywood,$32 at Flamingo.
• 15:25
  Dayna Roselli: This is the period over New Year's.
• 15:29
  Dayna Roselli: So I put in tomorrow night, we're we're actually recording this on a Monday.
• 15:33
  Dayna Roselli: I think I put in tomorrow or Wednesday, so right before New Year's Eve, through New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, and leaving on a Sunday.
• 15:39
  Sean McAllister: Wow.
• 15:40
  Dayna Roselli: So I mean you're you're getting the flamingo for 311 bucks for four nights.
• 15:45
  Sean McAllister: That's amazing.
• 15:46
  Sean McAllister: It really is.
• 15:46
  Sean McAllister: Oh my gosh.
• 15:47
  Dayna Roselli: You know, and if you want to take advantage, take advantage, you know, uh be well behaved.
• 15:52
  Dayna Roselli: That's what we ask.
• 15:52
  Dayna Roselli: Because, you know, we have seen uh spikes here and there and in violence and fights and things like that, and we don't want that here in Las Vegas.
• 15:59
  Sean McAllister: Well, and for everybody here who is a Las Vegas local who works in hospitality or who is uh uh an ambassador by proxy by the fact that they live here and you know are uh promoting Las Vegas to friends and family who they talk to.
• 16:17
  Sean McAllister: You know, everybody uh wants the Las Vegas experience to be a good experience.
• 16:24
  Sean McAllister: So we just want to keep that in mind and um get back to get back to the good old days as quickly as possible.
• 16:32
  Dayna Roselli: Um both of us went out to eat on the strip on Christmas Day because they're you know, obviously we haven't been able to leave Las Vegas to visit our families and get together with families.
• 16:40
  Dayna Roselli: So you're like, well, what do I do?
• 16:41
  Dayna Roselli: You know, like for you, it was you and your husband.
• 16:44
  Dayna Roselli: Uh for me, I'm alone, but I had a couple friends that were also alone, so two of the three of us went out.
• 16:49
  Dayna Roselli: But we went to Reyos at Caesar's Palace uh for dinner, and it was it was excellent.
• 16:54
  Dayna Roselli: The service was great, they were so appreciative that we were there.
• 16:57
  Dayna Roselli: Rayos is always good, and you know, it's not the prices aren't through the roof.
• 17:01
  Dayna Roselli: Uh gosh, we had the meatballs, which are amazing.
• 17:04
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, a nice glass of rose.
• 17:06
  Dayna Roselli: I had a little pasta, and we sat there and talked for a couple hours, and it was a really nice experience.
• 17:12
  Dayna Roselli: And Caesars Palace was pretty busy on Christmas Day.
• 17:15
  Dayna Roselli: Now, I've gone and done a little shopping at the forum shops prior to that, prior to Christmas Day.
• 17:20
  Dayna Roselli: So I've hit the forum shops a couple couple times during the week, and it's not that busy.
• 17:26
  Dayna Roselli: But Christmas Day, I did notice a little bit of an uptick, and they definitely had a lot of visitors at Caesars Palace.
• 17:32
  Sean McAllister: And uh we were over at Bavett's over at Park MGM.
• 17:38
  Sean McAllister: Um, this is their steakhouse.
• 17:39
  Dayna Roselli: I've never been, I haven't been there yet.
• 17:41
  Dayna Roselli: I remember getting invited and I couldn't make it.
• 17:43
  Dayna Roselli: It was a late night.
• 17:44
  Sean McAllister: It's uh so Bivett's originally they started in Chicago.
• 17:47
  Sean McAllister: There's only two locations: one in Chicago, one here in Las Vegas.
• 17:51
  Sean McAllister: Their steaks are incredible.
• 17:54
  Sean McAllister: The atmosphere is just so cool.
• 17:58
  Sean McAllister: It's like that dark steakhouse kind of feel with like the dark wood and you know the booths around.
• 18:04
  Sean McAllister: It's just a great place over at Park MGM.
• 18:08
  Sean McAllister: The casino was actually busier than I thought it would be on Christmas.
• 18:12
  Sean McAllister: There were a good number of people there.
• 18:14
  Sean McAllister: So we went in for a seven o'clock reservation on Christmas night, which was fantastic.
• 18:20
