• 1:11
  Sean McAllister: Sean McAllister and Dana Roselli here with you.
• 1:14
  Sean McAllister: And Dana, have you gotten that EDC music out of your head yet?
• 1:19
  Dayna Roselli: Well, yeah, it's been replaced by helicopter noise because um EDC happened up at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, which is a ways up there.
• 1:29
  Dayna Roselli: What do you say, like 25-minute drive?
• 1:31
  Sean McAllister: Uh yeah, 20-25 strike.
• 1:33
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 1:34
  Dayna Roselli: So everyone heads up there at night.
• 1:36
  Dayna Roselli: A lot of people take helicopters.
• 1:38
  Dayna Roselli: And in order to bring all those folks back, because it ends at like, I don't even know, five in the morning, there were a lot of helicopter rides going by my bedroom because I live in a high-rise um all night long.
• 1:53
  Dayna Roselli: Saturday, Sunday.
• 1:56
  Dayna Roselli: I kind of thought Sunday wouldn't be as busy because of the high winds, but people were still out there.
• 2:03
  Dayna Roselli: Um, then there was the EDC 30th anniversary parade on the strip Thursday?
• 2:09
  Sean McAllister: Uh it was.
• 2:09
  Sean McAllister: It was Thursday, yes.
• 2:11
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 2:11
  Dayna Roselli: And that was a whole thing.
• 2:13
  Dayna Roselli: And that started kind of early, 6.
• 2:16
  Dayna Roselli: It was supposed to go to like 8, 8:30 or something like that.
• 2:20
  Dayna Roselli: But it was then they moved to the festival grounds and that was going to like midnight.
• 2:24
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, they had those uh big art cars that you would see uh like Burning Man and EDC at these festivals, and they did a parade down a portion of the Las Vegas Strip and then went to the festival grounds right there at Sahara and Las Vegas Boulevard.
• 2:40
  Sean McAllister: And let me tell you, when the strip shuts down, even just for a few blocks for a parade like this, it causes a big headache on all the streets in the surrounding area.
• 2:54
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I mean, not to sound like this is gonna be my third complaint, but there were a lot of beeping horns.
• 3:01
  Dayna Roselli: And here's the deal everyone getting pushed over to paradise.
• 3:04
  Dayna Roselli: It was all clogged.
• 3:05
  Dayna Roselli: I live right along paradise.
• 3:07
  Dayna Roselli: And first of all, I think beeping is a waste of time.
• 3:11
  Dayna Roselli: So I don't condone the beeping.
• 3:12
  Dayna Roselli: You're not getting anywhere.
• 3:14
  Dayna Roselli: You're all stuck in gridlock.
• 3:16
  Dayna Roselli: But um when I was looking at the bumper to bumper traffic, I was thinking, you know, like we're in the no, right?
• 3:22
  Dayna Roselli: And I live in a high rise, they put out notices.
• 3:25
  Dayna Roselli: I knew there was gonna be a parade, I knew Sahara and Las Vegas Boulevard was gonna be closed.
• 3:29
  Dayna Roselli: There's you know, local news, newspapers, but everyone doesn't see it.
• 3:34
  Dayna Roselli: So I did feel bad for all those people during five o'clock, six o'clock traffic getting pushed away and down and down.
• 3:42
  Dayna Roselli: I thought, what this is really kind of a cluster.
• 3:45
  Sean McAllister: Well, and I I was not stuck in this specific traffic situation, but there was a similar one that happened uh the end of last year surrounding the SEMA show, which is a big auto uh convention, and a lot of the uh people who attend, you know, bring their souped-up vehicles with a ton of different uh add-ons.
• 4:09
  Sean McAllister: You know, some bounce up and down, some are like giant monster trucks with tires the size of you know two grown men tall, and they're just driving down the down the road, and they create their own parade.
• 4:23
  Sean McAllister: And we got stuck in that traffic as we were trying to just go to dinner.
• 4:27
  Sean McAllister: And I didn't know that people were gonna be uh filtering out of the convention center, and we ended up missing dinner, and it was a very high anxiety-inducing uh situation to be down in it.
• 4:45
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, because as you're seeing, people were beeping their horns, especially with the cars, they were like reving the engines and cars were hopping, and a lot of exhausting.
• 4:53
  Sean McAllister: And you're literally just stuck there.
• 4:55
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 4:56
  Dayna Roselli: It's it is a I know.
• 4:57
  Dayna Roselli: I felt for everyone on paradise.
• 4:59
  Dayna Roselli: And this went on till like 10 p.m., by the way.
• 5:02
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, obviously it was busier during the you know, prime driving times, but I know I was thinking of that, and I was thankfully, I knew, so I planned my whole I'm like, okay, tonight I'll do a walk instead of go to the gym, drive to this place I usually drive because I won't be able to get back in.
• 5:18
  Dayna Roselli: But I felt for people who didn't know it was happening.
• 5:21
  Dayna Roselli: So, um, but you know what?
• 5:23
  Dayna Roselli: It looks like the EDC parade was quite a show.
• 5:25
  Sean McAllister: Oh, yeah.
• 5:26
  Dayna Roselli: And people out there on the strip really enjoyed it, and they moved, they did the festival grounds, they had a big Ferris wheel up and beautiful colored lights, and the music was pumping till close to midnight.
• 5:37
  Sean McAllister: It was EDC brings the party to town.
• 5:40
  Dayna Roselli: It does, but it does look like people really enjoyed EDC and the set.
• 5:43
  Dayna Roselli: We had talked about it in the past, the list of DJs.
• 5:45
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, there are hundreds and I feel like hundreds and hundreds, and you know, the the rundown was really good, the lineup, I should say.
• 5:52
  Sean McAllister: And in conjunction with uh EDC weekend, Omnia Day Club also opened at Caesars Palace, and we're gonna have more on that coming up in our celebrity news with a Vegas twist.
• 6:04
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that was a good one.
• 6:05
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I did get to see the 40th anniversary top gun movie in a theater on Sunday.
• 6:13
  Dayna Roselli: I was super excited.
• 6:15
  Dayna Roselli: You know, they released it for one week only, and I've never seen the original in a theater because I was like 10 years old.
• 6:21
  Dayna Roselli: It was amazing.
• 6:22
  Dayna Roselli: I like cried through the whole thing.
• 6:23
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know if you're supposed to cry, but I was emotional.
• 6:26
  Sean McAllister: Of course you're supposed to cry.
• 6:27
  Sean McAllister: There's sad parts in there.
• 6:29
  Sean McAllister: Oh my gosh, it was emotional.
• 6:30
  Dayna Roselli: I bet really loved seeing it in the theater.
• 6:33
  Dayna Roselli: But it did make me uh think.
• 6:35
  Dayna Roselli: I went to the palms and I don't know if I've been there in a while.
• 6:38
  Dayna Roselli: It's so funny.
• 6:39
  Dayna Roselli: Whenever I walk into the palms, the smell of the palms just brings back the old days.
• 6:42
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but walked in the movie theater, and I must say the reclining seats are really, really nice, very organized there.
• 6:48
  Dayna Roselli: But I did go see Devil Wears Prada 2 at Red Rock uh recently.
• 6:53
  Dayna Roselli: And I have never been in the Red Rock Theater since they redid it all.
• 6:58
  Dayna Roselli: It's gorgeous.
• 6:59
  Sean McAllister: Is it?
• 7:00
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 7:00
  Dayna Roselli: You walk in now and you just walk in.
• 7:03
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and then they have a bar you can order from.
• 7:06
  Dayna Roselli: They have, you know, normal popcorn candy and all that.
• 7:09
  Dayna Roselli: And you obviously buy your ticket online before, but the seats there too, so just comfortable and spacious.
• 7:18
  Dayna Roselli: It's really nice at the Red Rock Theater.
• 7:20
  Dayna Roselli: They really did a good job on the redo.
• 7:21
  Sean McAllister: You know what else is great about the Red Rock Theater is they have a private suite also.
• 7:27
  Sean McAllister: I I haven't been to them and I went a long time ago with some friends, and it's like a private box with like a glass window, and you're sitting up above everybody at the back of the theater with your own section.
• 7:42
  Sean McAllister: You have your own popcorn counter.
• 7:44
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it's I think they it's great.
• 7:46
  Dayna Roselli: I've seen a lot of kids' birthday parties like there.
• 7:48
  Dayna Roselli: Like when I walk by, parents are you know pulling in with the balloons and all that kind of stuff.
• 7:53
  Sean McAllister: So well, that's a good way to do it because then if you have a bunch of kids, they're up in the box and kind of walled off from the rest of the theater.
• 8:01
  Dayna Roselli: Not bothering everyone else.
• 8:03
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, we have some some great stuff, but and you know, things are always being updated.
• 8:08
  Dayna Roselli: So wanted to point that out.
• 8:09
  Dayna Roselli: I hadn't been in a while, but you know how you used to have to like give your ticket right before you walked in.
• 8:14
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, they're all doing this kind of open lobby now where you only do it when you're gonna walk down the hallway of theaters.
• 8:20
  Sean McAllister: Oh, exactly.
• 8:20
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 8:21
  Sean McAllister: Yep.
• 8:21
  Dayna Roselli: So I like I like that.
• 8:23
  Dayna Roselli: Um, some place we went recently that we haven't discussed here on the podcast is the Infinity Museum.
• 8:28
  Dayna Roselli: And this is actually on Maryland Parkway.
• 8:30
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it's kind of attached to the Boulevard Mall, which is one of our very old and original malls here in Las Vegas on the east side, but it's not too far from the strip.
• 8:40
  Dayna Roselli: But when we went, we were like, this place is freaking cool.
• 8:45
  Sean McAllister: It is so well done.
• 8:47
  Sean McAllister: I think there's what seven different seven different rooms that you can experience.
• 8:52
  Sean McAllister: Each of the rooms is big, yeah, by the way.
• 8:55
  Sean McAllister: There's one that has these uh silver balloon balls that just fill the room, and the walls and ceilings are all mirrored, and that's what gives it its name.
• 9:07
  Sean McAllister: The Infinity Museum.
• 9:08
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 9:08
  Sean McAllister: Because it looks like every room you go to just keeps going and going and going.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 9:13
  Sean McAllister: And so there's uh that, there's a starry night room where there's all these dangly lights and shooting stars across the ceiling.
• 9:21
  Dayna Roselli: Shooting stars are beautiful, you can stargaze.
• 9:24
  Dayna Roselli: That was a really pretty room.
• 9:26
  Sean McAllister: I know that's a really relaxing place to go to.
• 9:29
  Sean McAllister: If you're at a point in life where just like life stuff is giving you anxiety, this could be a good place to go and just chill out because there's no time limit.
• 9:39
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, stay as long as you want.
• 9:40
  Dayna Roselli: I love that.
• 9:41
  Dayna Roselli: And you can stay for infinity.
• 9:43
  Sean McAllister: And for infinity.
• 9:43
  Dayna Roselli: Well, you but they probably kick you out when it closes for the night.
• 9:46
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, I did like that.
• 9:47
  Dayna Roselli: Um, we were talking to the general manager and he pointed that out.
• 9:50
  Dayna Roselli: It's not like you have one hour to run through all these rooms.
• 9:52
  Dayna Roselli: You could do whatever.
• 9:53
  Dayna Roselli: You could go through it once, you could go through it twice, you could hang out in one room.
• 9:56
  Sean McAllister: And we did see some people in one of the rooms just kind of sitting against the wall and hanging out.
• 10:02
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 10:02
  Dayna Roselli: And they have the world's largest uh immersive kaleidoscope, and that's uh it ends with that.
• 10:07
  Dayna Roselli: It's amazing, it's so cool, it's a great spot for pictures.
• 10:12
  Dayna Roselli: The one room we went into too is where the floor, like you could touch the floor and the water moves, and it's so awesome.
• 10:19
  Dayna Roselli: And then you went inside that what's it called?
• 10:22
  Dayna Roselli: I I don't know if I know the oh, the tetrahedron.
• 10:24
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that was cool.
• 10:26
  Dayna Roselli: And you walk in and you can't see out, but people can see you from the outside.
• 10:33
  Dayna Roselli: And he the general manager was saying that a lot of people do proposals in there because they'll bring their fiance or well, soon-to-be fiance, in there.
• 10:42
  Dayna Roselli: The family will come in and the person inside can't see the family waiting and watching the proposal, and then when they come out, all their family's there.
• 10:51
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm like, what a great idea.
• 10:52
  Sean McAllister: Because they use the one-way uh mirrored glass.
• 10:56
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, so uh the mirror portion is on the inside of this giant geometrical uh shape that you step inside of, and that's in and the shape is set up in the middle of this bigger room so you can have people filling in uh around the outside of the room watching what happens inside, and when you are inside, you're just seeing yourself and all of these lights that are in there.
• 11:24
  Sean McAllister: Go to our Vegas Revealed YouTube channel.
• 11:26
  Sean McAllister: We've got some uh video footage that's going to be posted there of a story that uh we did at the Infinity Museum.
• 11:33
  Sean McAllister: It'll give you a good idea of exactly what we're talking about here.
• 11:37
  Sean McAllister: Um, but it is, it's a really cool thing.
• 11:41
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it is because it's in uh this upcoming weekend show.
• 11:45
  Dayna Roselli: And it's hard, it is hard to talk about without seeing the visual.
• 11:48
  Dayna Roselli: So yeah, go to our YouTube.
• 11:49
  Dayna Roselli: You'll want to see this.
• 11:50
  Dayna Roselli: It's hard to describe.
• 11:51
  Dayna Roselli: We were blown away.
• 11:52
  Dayna Roselli: It's 30 bucks for kids,$40 for adults.
• 11:55
  Dayna Roselli: Time is unlimited.
• 11:56
  Dayna Roselli: You can book uh groups and you can book a time if you want and go to infinitymuseum.com.
• 12:02
  Dayna Roselli: We were very impressed.
• 12:04
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, you get the pool noodle to walk through the the maze so that you can hit the side because you will think you're gonna go straight and you're not, you're gonna hit a wall.
• 12:11
  Sean McAllister: So it's a big mirror maze.
• 12:13
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it's a lot of fun.
• 12:14
  Dayna Roselli: It really is.
• 12:15
  Dayna Roselli: And they have like informational stuff before you walk in that explains each room.
• 12:20
  Dayna Roselli: Like it's educational too.
• 12:22
  Dayna Roselli: He was saying a lot of school groups go there.
• 12:24
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 12:24
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 12:25
  Sean McAllister: And they have a uh kind of a a scavenger hunt, a photo scavenger hunt card that you get on your way in to help you help encourage you to experience each of the rooms to their fullest.
• 12:38
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 12:38
  Dayna Roselli: And then I think you get a little something at the end.
• 12:40
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, get a little bit complete.
• 12:42
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and also just FYI, I don't wear heels.
• 12:44
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, you gotta put these uh things around your shoes, um, like little baggy.
• 12:50
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, booties.
• 12:51
  Dayna Roselli: Um, because the floor in a lot of these rooms is, you know, soft or has motion and stuff like that.
• 12:57
  Dayna Roselli: So I can't think of any other tips.
• 12:59
  Dayna Roselli: I think that's all you need.
• 13:00
  Dayna Roselli: That's it.
• 13:01
  Dayna Roselli: It you'll see it um right out there.
• 13:03
  Dayna Roselli: It's kind of a silver sparkly sign that says in Infinity Museum.
• 13:07
  Dayna Roselli: It's cool, and it's the only one in the United States, by the way.
• 13:10
  Dayna Roselli: There's one in Canada.
• 13:11
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 13:11
  Sean McAllister: And if you do want to uh if you are planning to go, you can get tickets uh online in advance, or if you want to speed up the process, once you go, uh there's a QR code on the outside of the uh building, and you can just scan that, book your tickets on your phone, and then walk in, and then that'll get you going pretty quickly once you get inside.
• 13:32
  Sean McAllister: Oh, and they do have uh special glasses as part of their VIP package, right?
• 13:38
  Sean McAllister: And the lenses turn all of the light.
• 13:43
  Sean McAllister: When you look at light, it turns it into little hearts.
• 13:47
  Sean McAllister: That was cute.
• 13:48
  Dayna Roselli: That was cute.
• 13:49
  Dayna Roselli: I was thinking, I don't know, if I needed them.
• 13:51
  Dayna Roselli: So that's a little tip for me.
• 13:53
  Dayna Roselli: I think you're okay without him.
• 13:54
  Dayna Roselli: But if you want the full experience and you want to see what it's like, that's cool too.
• 13:58
  Dayna Roselli: And there's other things with the VIP, but yeah, yeah.
• 14:01
  Dayna Roselli: I felt like I wasn't sure if I loved that, but um just I felt like it was better without the glasses.
• 14:08
  Dayna Roselli: Does that make sense?
• 14:10
  Dayna Roselli: But you could throw them on and look at things, and the kids probably love it.
• 14:12
  Sean McAllister: The kids probably absolutely love it.
• 14:14
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 14:15
  Dayna Roselli: Um, okay, a bunch of sandwich places that are like taken off, like it like sandwich places are really hot right now.
• 14:20
  Dayna Roselli: So are burger joints, and so the hat opened off the strip.
• 14:25
  Dayna Roselli: This is in uh kind of the southwest part of Vegas on Rainbow North of the 215.
• 14:30
  Dayna Roselli: I had never heard of it before, but the hat restaurant is huge in California.
• 14:34
  Dayna Roselli: They had a grand opening and they had to put up something on Instagram that said we can't take any more people.
• 14:40
  Dayna Roselli: That's how long the line was for people to get in and try.
• 14:43
  Dayna Roselli: And they are known for their world-famous pastrami sandwiches.
• 14:46
  Sean McAllister: I am a sucker for a good pastrami sandwich.
• 14:49
  Dayna Roselli: And I was looking around their uh Instagram and they do like the regular straight-up pastrami.
• 14:54
  Dayna Roselli: They do uh pastrami grilled cheese.
• 14:56
  Sean McAllister: Oh my god.
• 14:57
  Sean McAllister: No, right.
• 14:58
  Sean McAllister: Wow, are you kidding me?
• 14:59
  Dayna Roselli: It looks so delicious.
• 15:01
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, they do pastrami covered fries, they have all sorts of different things going on there.
• 15:08
  Dayna Roselli: And very, very popular.
• 15:10
  Dayna Roselli: And this is the first Las Vegas location.
• 15:12
  Dayna Roselli: So, really, this is their first location outside of California.
• 15:15
  Sean McAllister: What a great situation for them to have so many people show up to the opening that they have to say, sorry, we can't take any more.
• 15:23
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, because I don't know if they had a special going on or something that people were, but yeah, I know what a great opening, right?
• 15:29
  Dayna Roselli: And you're not even on the strip, you're off the strip.
• 15:31
  Dayna Roselli: So that's really good because you're getting the locals.
• 15:34
  Sean McAllister: Welcome to town, the hat.
• 15:36
  Dayna Roselli: And then Redhead Burger is now open at the Grand Canal Shops.
• 15:40
  Dayna Roselli: And uh, this is actually owned by two redheaded brothers who are also burger enthusiasts.
• 15:46
  Dayna Roselli: They didn't open it too long ago, 2019.
• 15:49
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, they're located in Miami's uh South Beach, right there on Ocean Drive, and this is the first West Coast location.
• 15:56
  Dayna Roselli: And so uh they serve up smash burgers, which are really hot right now, the fresh cut fries, the tater tots, milkshades, and more.
• 16:02
  Dayna Roselli: If you want to try them out at the Grand Canal shops.
• 16:05
  Dayna Roselli: Um, yeah, what is the deal with the smash?
• 16:07
  Dayna Roselli: I've never really invested in what's the difference between a burger and a smash burger.
• 16:11
  Sean McAllister: Well, the smash burger is like when you uh literally smash it down on the uh cooktop.
• 16:18
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 16:18
  Sean McAllister: Um, it's not like a charbroiled burger that's done on a grill grate.
• 16:24
  Sean McAllister: It's on a flat top cook surface.
• 16:26
  Sean McAllister: So when you smash the burger, it gets like a crispy, it gets almost a crispy coating.
• 16:33
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 16:34
  Sean McAllister: On the outside.
• 16:34
  Dayna Roselli: See, and I'm one of those people that like just hand me a burger and I'm gonna go to the bottom.
• 16:37
  Sean McAllister: Like a good juicy burger.
• 16:39
  Dayna Roselli: No, both.
• 16:39
  Dayna Roselli: Like, I'm like, it tastes good to me.
• 16:41
  Dayna Roselli: So I don't know if it's smashed or unsmashed.
• 16:44
  Sean McAllister: Smash burgers are good, it just brings another uh texture to the burger experience, I think.
• 16:50
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 16:51
  Sean McAllister: And uh we have even more burgers uh to talk about.
• 16:55
  Sean McAllister: Uh, a new place downtown is called N A D C Burger, which stands for not a damn chance burger.
• 17:02
  Sean McAllister: They just opened their first permanent Las Vegas location at the corner of Sixth Street and Carson.
• 17:10
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, this burger is amazing.
• 17:12
  Dayna Roselli: It actually went viral.
• 17:13
  Dayna Roselli: It's a Waigu burger.
• 17:15
  Dayna Roselli: That's and they sell one burger.
• 17:16
  Dayna Roselli: Like that's the kind that they sell.
• 17:18
  Dayna Roselli: And they really want everyone to know it's not a smash burger.
• 17:21
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 17:22
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it's different.
• 17:24
  Dayna Roselli: We had them.
• 17:25
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my gosh, amazing.
• 17:27
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but before we get into all that, um, we did get to speak with um professional skateboarder Nean Williams, who's the co-founder.
• 17:35
  Dayna Roselli: He opened this and discovered this with Michelin starred chef Philip Franklin Lee.
• 17:41
  Dayna Roselli: And we had a chance to go over uh for the soft opening and talk with Neen one-on-one.
• 17:45
  Dayna Roselli: So let's listen to that.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_03: It all started just me and Philip, just two dads making burgers in the backyard and doing pop-ups around Austin, Texas, and then everything just kind of blew up from there.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_03: We did a couple pop-ups with Resorts World, um, and then we came back, they wanted us back, and we did a three-month little stay, um, which is really cool, and we had a really awesome turnout.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_03: So, from that pop-up, that last pop-up, we were kind of looking for a permanent spot out here in Vegas, and we finally found it and we're stoked to be there.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_03: The burger is um very intentionally built.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_03: When me and Philip created it, we wanted to do one burger but do it the best that we could.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_03: So we used 100% Wagyu beef, super flavorful, juicy, moist.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_03: Um it's like insane quality beef, right?
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_03: Then we use 100% real American cheese, so it reminds you of like the singles that you used to have when you were a kid.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_03: Um, for me and Philip, that's the type of cheese that needs to be on a burger.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_03: So we sought after this real American cheese.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_03: We finally got it, so that's what we use on our burgers.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_03: My special spice blend is on there to really make the flavors pop.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_03: Um, we put a pickle in every bite along with our secret sauce, and then there's four tame pickled jalapenos.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_03: So the pickled jalapenos, they're they're they're tamed, so they're not super spicy.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_03: You just get the flavor of jalapeno with all that crunch.
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_03: It's like a perfect balance of flavors, an umami of flavors in every single bite.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_03: And if you don't like the way that we build the burger, you can always modify it and take stuff off.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_03: I wanted to bring not a damn chance to Vegas to just bring a really cool spot to come hang out, get some drinks, get some really delicious burgers, you know.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and then, you know, just come come over, hang out, vibe out.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_03: We also do uh tello fried fries as well, which is super good.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_03: Um, nice and crispy, kind of mashed potatoes on the inside.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_03: You know, I want to bring something cool to the city and you know, join the community and you know, just have a good time doing it.
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_01: So we are Vegas Revealed, and you know, you have to reveal something.
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_01: What's in the secret sauce?
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_01: Can you tell us?
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_03: Not a damn chance.
• 20:02
  Sean McAllister: So, Dana, you just said that you love a good burger.
• 20:05
  Sean McAllister: So, what are your thoughts on the NADC burger?
• 20:08
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it was absolutely delicious.
• 20:10
  Dayna Roselli: And you know why?
• 20:11
  Dayna Roselli: I really love the choice of toppings that they that comes on every burger.
• 20:15
  Dayna Roselli: Like that's just that's my jam.
• 20:17
  Dayna Roselli: Literally, what he puts on there, what they put on there.
• 20:20
  Dayna Roselli: The pickles, the jalapeno, the cheese.
• 20:25
  Dayna Roselli: It was fantastic.
• 20:27
  Dayna Roselli: We loved it.
• 20:28
  Sean McAllister: And they have their their seasoning and their special sauce, which kudos to you for trying to get the the ingredients of the special sauce.
• 20:36
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I couldn't get it.
• 20:37
  Sean McAllister: He's a lockbox.
• 20:39
  Dayna Roselli: We actually had little sides of special sauce to kind of dip fries into, and their, I think they had like a Chipotle um ketchup, ketchup that was good.
• 20:47
  Dayna Roselli: And then we had the loaded fries.
• 20:49
  Dayna Roselli: We couldn't finish them, but we had to try them.
• 20:51
  Dayna Roselli: They were delicious, but that's what they have.
• 20:53
  Dayna Roselli: And I ran into this guy that was sitting there at the soft opening.
• 20:56
  Dayna Roselli: Um, he worked for the city of Las Vegas and he said, I tried this in Chicago.
• 21:00
  Dayna Roselli: Then I went to Resorts World for the pop-up when they had it, and he's like, I'm so excited they're here.
• 21:04
  Dayna Roselli: So, like, I'm he was like chowing down on his lunch.
• 21:07
  Dayna Roselli: He's so happy.
• 21:08
  Sean McAllister: He had a happy look on his face, too.
• 21:10
  Dayna Roselli: He did.
• 21:11
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so yeah, it was great.
• 21:13
  Dayna Roselli: It's a great little spot, it's cool.
• 21:15
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I feel like it's a perfect fit for downtown Las Vegas.
• 21:19
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, Neen seems really happy with it.
• 21:21
  Dayna Roselli: I think it's gonna be great.
• 21:22
  Sean McAllister: Um and not a big dining room, it's like a a burger joint.
• 21:27
  Sean McAllister: Like you walk in, they have a bar, seats at the bar, a few high top tables around the outside, and like that's it.
• 21:37
  Sean McAllister: And Nean said that's exactly what he wanted.
• 21:39
  Sean McAllister: He was like, I don't want a big sit-down restaurant.
• 21:42
  Sean McAllister: Like the whole appeal of a burger joint is like you walk in, get your burger, you have your burger, and then you're on to your next thing.
• 21:49
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 21:50
  Dayna Roselli: And I don't think it was in the story because I took it out, but he said him and uh chef met because Nean went to his uh a restaurant he was doing uh working at for sushi.
• 22:00
  Dayna Roselli: And he did amazing sushi.
• 22:02
  Dayna Roselli: So he said that chef Phillip is kind of like a fan of skateboarding and a professional chef.
• 22:09
  Dayna Roselli: Neen is a professional skateboarder and kind of like is a fan of cooking and recipes.
• 22:15
  Dayna Roselli: And so they came together, started sharing pictures, and then they started, you know, they became friends and they started trading recipes and trying things out.
• 22:22
  Dayna Roselli: And he said, the best thing that we loved and got the reaction out of was the Waigu burger.
• 22:28
  Sean McAllister: Well, I think they're gonna get quite the reaction out of Las Vegas, too.
• 22:32
  Dayna Roselli: And I love it takes a choice out of it.
• 22:33
  Dayna Roselli: You go in, you order it, that's all they have.
• 22:35
  Sean McAllister: That's it.
• 22:36
  Dayna Roselli: Great.
• 22:36
  Dayna Roselli: And he, like he said, pick off the pickles if you don't want them.
• 22:39
  Dayna Roselli: But that's how it comes.
• 22:40
  Sean McAllister: But that's how it comes.
• 22:41
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 22:42
  Dayna Roselli: Really good.
• 22:42
  Dayna Roselli: So check it out.
• 22:43
  Dayna Roselli: It's in downtown Las Vegas.
• 22:45
  Dayna Roselli: Um, now open.
• 22:46
  Dayna Roselli: So lots of sandwiches and burgers, um, places opening here in Las Vegas.
• 22:51
  Sean McAllister: Hey, but if you're out uh walking off your burger down the Las Vegas Strip and you're passing uh Harmon and Las Vegas Boulevard, you might notice uh a billboard that literally jumps out at you.
• 23:04
  Dayna Roselli: It's so cool, right?
• 23:06
  Dayna Roselli: This 3D billboard.
• 23:07
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it's actually uh if you haven't seen the show Awakening, I'm sure you've seen ads or you know, seen people talk about it.
• 23:15
  Dayna Roselli: It's a fantastic show at the win.
• 23:17
  Dayna Roselli: And this billboard is for the production show Awakening and literally has uh performers uh popping out at you.
• 23:27
  Dayna Roselli: It looks so real.
• 23:28
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it's called an anamorphic billboard.
• 23:31
  Sean McAllister: Um, and the way that this technology works is absolutely wild.
• 23:37
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 23:37
  Sean McAllister: Um, the billboard, the video billboard, it kind of goes on the corner of a building, but then the way that they make the graphics work, like the big uh inflatable whale from the awakening show, it comes in, it looks like it's floating out of the billboard toward you.
• 23:56
  Sean McAllister: Toward you, then circles around and goes back in.
• 23:58
  Sean McAllister: They do this with a couple different acts in the show, and it really is.
• 24:03
  Sean McAllister: I mean, I don't know how they do it, but it's spectacular.
• 24:08
  Dayna Roselli: It really is.
• 24:09
  Dayna Roselli: So when Las Vegas is the first resort advertiser to activate the strip's new billboard.
• 24:15
  Dayna Roselli: Um and like you said, the content um there, it like transforms, it says a flat LED surface into a convincing illusion of depth, motion, and spatial interaction.
• 24:26
  Dayna Roselli: So it's every five minutes, uh, it appears if you want to go see it.
• 24:31
  Dayna Roselli: You won't have to sit there for a really long time.
• 24:33
  Dayna Roselli: Um if you want to take videos or watch it.
• 24:35
  Sean McAllister: Or you can pop into the Taco Bell Cantina there right at the corner.
• 24:39
  unknown: Yeah.
• 24:40
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my gosh.
• 24:40
  Dayna Roselli: So that's right near the or on the outside of the Waldorf Astoria.
• 24:44
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 24:44
  Sean McAllister: Very cool.
