• 2:52
  Sean McAllister: So we'll say it again.

  Sean McAllister: We appreciate you.
• 2:54
  Sean McAllister: Thank you.
• 2:55
  Dayna Roselli: Definitely.
• 2:56
  Dayna Roselli: It's it's great to be here.
• 2:57
  Dayna Roselli: And there's a lot of choice when it comes to podcasts.
• 3:00
  Dayna Roselli: And you all often tell us why you like our podcast and what makes us different.
• 3:05
  Dayna Roselli: And we appreciate that.
• 3:06
  Dayna Roselli: We're two longtime broadcasters who have been doing this a long time on television and radio, and we just really enjoy having conversations about life in Las Vegas and entertainment.
• 3:21
  Dayna Roselli: But we do it with a little bit of a news twist.
• 3:23
  Dayna Roselli: You know, we check our facts.
• 3:24
  Dayna Roselli: We don't just, you know, report all rumors and stuff like that.
• 3:28
  Dayna Roselli: We aren't, I wouldn't call us like bloggers.
• 3:30
  Dayna Roselli: We are legit.
• 3:32
  Sean McAllister: Well, we're journalists.
• 3:33
  Dayna Roselli: Journalists, yeah.
• 3:35
  Dayna Roselli: Is what we are.
• 3:36
  Dayna Roselli: That's what makes us different, I feel like, when it comes to our podcast.
• 3:38
  Dayna Roselli: And all those podcasts definitely have a, you know, reason to be around, and people love listening to all of them.
• 3:44
  Dayna Roselli: And some there's some foodie podcasts and that kind of thing.
• 3:47
  Dayna Roselli: And those are all wonderful, but that's what makes us different.
• 3:49
  Dayna Roselli: So welcome aboard.
• 3:51
  Sean McAllister: And uh one thing that really makes us excited is the city of Las Vegas and the entertainers here, even some of the iconic entertainers of years past, like Siegfried and Roy, who of course had a long history here in Las Vegas.
• 4:09
  Sean McAllister: And now one of their Las Vegas compounds is going on the market.
• 4:15
  Sean McAllister: So you could live like Siegfried and Roy did.
• 4:19
  Sean McAllister: And especially if you have uh lions and tigers for pets, this compound has a place for them.
• 4:25
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 4:25
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, listen, Siegfried and Roy, there was always this like mystique around them, right?
• 4:29
  Dayna Roselli: And this magic people would come to Las Vegas just to see Siegfried and Roy.
• 4:34
  Dayna Roselli: Sure.
• 4:35
  Dayna Roselli: Incredible duo and illusionists, they've had some mishaps through the years.
• 4:39
  Dayna Roselli: Unfortunately, both of them passed away.
• 4:42
  Dayna Roselli: And so people here, I think, feel like, hey, we need to preserve this house.
• 4:48
  Sean McAllister: I feel like we need to.
• 4:50
  Dayna Roselli: The people who've lived here a long time and know the importance of history.
• 4:54
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so I'm really hoping that once this compound goes up for sale, that maybe someone will not not live in it, but either keep portions of it the same or maybe not live in it and I don't know, put it out there as a museum or something.
• 5:11
  Dayna Roselli: But it's pretty incredible to look at some of the pictures because of the Siegfried and Roy branding.
• 5:16
  Dayna Roselli: And like you said, the fact that there are spaces where animals could actually live.
• 5:21
  Dayna Roselli: So it's three million bucks, which isn't horrible.
• 5:25
  Sean McAllister: Well, especially not when you consider everything you get.
• 5:27
  Sean McAllister: Wait till you hear the details about what's included in this property.
• 5:32
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I mean, there's it's funny because they have the main house, and what there's only what, two bedrooms in the main house, I think it is.
• 5:38
  Sean McAllister: Uh, two bedrooms in the main house, yeah, which I was shocked because I think it's gosh, wasn't it like 8,000 square feet, the house, 8,700 square feet, something like that.
• 5:49
  Sean McAllister: So I was shocked that there were only two bedrooms in a house that size.
• 5:54
  Sean McAllister: However, there are three other guest houses on the property that brings the total number of rooms to nine on this compound.
• 6:05
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 6:06
  Dayna Roselli: So, yeah, because we wondered.
• 6:08
  Dayna Roselli: We were looking around, like, oh, okay, that explains it.
• 6:11
  Dayna Roselli: There's also multiple water features, three pools, a jacuzzi, six electric gates.
• 6:17
  Dayna Roselli: Um, there's studios.
• 6:19
  Dayna Roselli: Apparently, there's like, you know, numerous uh animal enclosures, and then a bird sanctuary, too.
• 6:26
  Dayna Roselli: So uh we have a friend on Instagram that went through the tour and she sent us some of her video, and we recently showed that in our segment in Los Angeles on KCal.
• 6:35
  Dayna Roselli: And the Moroccan theme is very prevalent in the video.
• 6:41
  Dayna Roselli: You can see the ceilings with the, you know, the colors and the hanging little tassels and things like that.
• 6:47
  Dayna Roselli: Um, you can see some incredible, almost like paintings in the ceilings, and then the ornate gold accents.
• 6:55
  Dayna Roselli: It just it's so Siegfried and Roy.
• 6:57
  Dayna Roselli: That's all I can really explain, how I can explain it.
• 7:00
  Dayna Roselli: But yes, very Moroccan theory.
• 7:02
  Sean McAllister: It is, and there are beautiful stained glass windows throughout.
• 7:06
  Sean McAllister: And um, I believe the the main house was built in the 1950s.
• 7:13
  Sean McAllister: Uh, and you know, it has definitely been kept in the style that it was when uh Siegfried and Roy called it their home.
• 7:23
  Sean McAllister: Um something else.
• 7:25
  Sean McAllister: So by the way, this compound is called the Jungle Palace, which is a very fitting name for this house.
• 7:34
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and it's uh eight acres, so pretty big area.
• 7:38
  Dayna Roselli: Everything about it, go to our social media, it's f it's over the top, right?
• 7:43
  Sean McAllister: You know, I like fabulous too.
• 7:45
  Dayna Roselli: Fabulous, yeah, all of that.
• 7:46
  Dayna Roselli: Um, Siegfried and Roy, apparently they lived in separate houses.
• 7:49
  Dayna Roselli: Roy was in one, uh, Siegfried was in another, and apparently some of the tigers slept with Roy, even in the in the main bedroom.
• 7:58
  Sean McAllister: I don't know if I'd uh be okay with it.
• 8:00
  Dayna Roselli: I don't either, but you know, they were his like his children.
• 8:03
  Sean McAllister: I have trouble with my 24-pound dog sleeping in our bed sometime.
• 8:07
  Sean McAllister: I mean, even when he stretches out his legs, like yeah, that's not comfortable.
• 8:13
  Dayna Roselli: If there's a tiger, feeling that they probably had like a double, double king bed, right?
• 8:21
  Dayna Roselli: Or something in that California king.
• 8:23
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 8:24
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, um, check out some of the pictures that we posted.
• 8:27
  Dayna Roselli: It's pretty incredible to see, and it's up for sale for three million dollars.
• 8:31
  Dayna Roselli: Um, there's another property, they're gonna demolish the building and build some type of apartment complex or something.
• 8:37
  Dayna Roselli: It was approved by the city a while back.
• 8:39
  Dayna Roselli: Everyone besides Mayor Carolyn Goodman voted to have that happen.
• 8:42
  Dayna Roselli: She wanted it to stick, which I agree with Carolyn.
• 8:45
  Sean McAllister: I do too.
• 8:46
  Dayna Roselli: They are a part of our history, and I really wish that would have stayed.
• 8:49
  Dayna Roselli: But anyway, three million bucks.
• 8:50
  Dayna Roselli: We'll see what happens if someone will buy it, use it as a museum, um, actually move in and ship everything out.
• 8:58
  Dayna Roselli: Um, apparently the furnishings that are in it for staging do not come with the home.
• 9:03
  Sean McAllister: Okay.
• 9:03
  Sean McAllister: I was wondering about that.
• 9:04
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 9:05
  Sean McAllister: Because there is one room where there's a dining room table set up, and then over in the corner there's a hot tub.
• 9:11
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 9:11
  Sean McAllister: I was like, this is really weird to have a hot tub in the dining room.
• 9:14
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 9:15
  Sean McAllister: But I think it was maybe set up as like a sunroom kind of thing.
• 9:19
  Dayna Roselli: I feel like in bathrooms.
• 9:20
  Sean McAllister: For functional purposes.
• 9:21
  Dayna Roselli: There were weird things like that, right?
• 9:23
  Dayna Roselli: Well, that's true.
• 9:24
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know.
• 9:24
  Dayna Roselli: Like I mean you look at old houses, you're like, why is this like this?
• 9:27
  Sean McAllister: But it's not what we would do today, but in the main bathroom, there is a urinal with like gold plumbing fixtures attached to it.
• 9:35
  Dayna Roselli: That's fancy.
• 9:36
  Sean McAllister: It is.
• 9:38
  Dayna Roselli: Well, listen, let's hop over to the Mirage.
• 9:41
  Dayna Roselli: Um, because you know, Siegfried and Roy performed at the ra Mirage for many, many years.
• 9:46
  Dayna Roselli: So it got us thinking like, what's going on with the Mirage lately?
• 9:49
  Dayna Roselli: And we noticed the Hard Rock guitar is going up for a vote on March 22nd.
• 9:54
  Dayna Roselli: Um, the county commission, the Clark County Commission, is gonna vote on this.
• 9:57
  Dayna Roselli: So the strip, Las Vegas Strip, is in the county, not the city of Las Vegas, and that's why they're doing the vote.
• 10:03
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and uh, we've talked about this before.
• 10:05
  Sean McAllister: The Hard Rock purchased the Mirage, and it will at some point in time in the next couple years be fully rebranded as the Hard Rock as part of their uh renovation of the property.
• 10:18
  Sean McAllister: Uh, the volcano, that famous Mirage volcano, there are plans to take that out and replace it with this massive glass guitar hotel tower.
• 10:32
  Sean McAllister: Um, which the way that it's situated on the Las Vegas Strip, right at the Mirage, the strip kind of takes a turn.
• 10:42
  Sean McAllister: So when you're looking north up Las Vegas Boulevard from let's say Caesar's Palace or the Flamingo, uh you're going to see that massive guitar tower straight ahead of you.
• 10:57
  Sean McAllister: Like that is going to be the focal point as you look north up Las Vegas Boulevard.
• 11:03
  Sean McAllister: There's been mixed reaction to this uh plan for a guitar tower in that place.
• 11:10
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 11:11
  Sean McAllister: Um so we'll see what the county commission has to say about it, whether they're in favor of it or if they think it's gonna be an ISOR.
• 11:18
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 11:18
  Dayna Roselli: I'm curious.
• 11:18
  Dayna Roselli: I'm I'm really gonna pay attention to this vote.
• 11:20
  Dayna Roselli: I'm curious to see what they think.
• 11:22
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I have mixed feelings.
• 11:23
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, me too.
• 11:24
  Dayna Roselli: So I don't know.
• 11:25
  Dayna Roselli: Um March 22nd, we will keep you posted.
• 11:27
  Dayna Roselli: That'll be probably in the next or the next podcast or the next one after that.
• 11:32
  Dayna Roselli: But we'll uh definitely post some information on our social media once that gets voted.
• 11:37
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 11:37
  Sean McAllister: Uh we went to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway uh for the spring uh Penzoil 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup series race.
• 11:50
  Sean McAllister: And once again, we just had a great time.
• 11:55
  Sean McAllister: We want to thank Chris Powell up at the Speedway for and his wife Missy for inviting us and uh hosting us uh as we were there.
• 12:04
  Sean McAllister: But there were aside from the race, there were some other things that we noticed that we really wanted to talk about.
• 12:10
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 12:11
  Dayna Roselli: We went down to the bottom near like kind of like pit row, and we didn't do that last time.
• 12:16
  Dayna Roselli: And we were amazed at what goes down there, down, what goes down, down there.
• 12:23
  Dayna Roselli: Down, down.
• 12:24
  Dayna Roselli: Um yeah, and I say down because we actually had to go underground and up again to get to the other side.
• 12:29
  Dayna Roselli: So it was it was kind of cool.
• 12:30
  Dayna Roselli: You're on one side of the speedway, but you need to go under and up to get to the other side because the track's in the middle.
• 12:36
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 12:37
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, we went over there and I loved seeing like all the preparation before the race.
• 12:43
  Dayna Roselli: Like I was noticing like one driver was like laying on the ground and he had someone like stretching his legs and arms.
• 12:49
  Dayna Roselli: And I thought, wow, this makes sense.
• 12:51
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, you're locked and loaded in that race going, you know, however fast you're gonna go.
• 12:56
  Dayna Roselli: Um, for a long period of time, you've gotta, you've gotta be ready.
• 13:00
  Dayna Roselli: I'm sure muscles tense up, all that.
• 13:02
  Sean McAllister: Well, and aside from the drivers being stretched out and and getting ready before they hopped in the car for, you know, the 267 laps around the the speedway there, the pit crews were also doing their own warmups and stretches and calisthenic routines to get ready because those pit crews are incredible, they are amazing.
• 13:29
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 13:30
  Dayna Roselli: They had like this group little huddle too, right?
• 13:33
  Dayna Roselli: Before it was like a team meeting, you know, and like, I mean, they you're right, they prepped, we watched them stretching, and we were like, this is you're right, intense.
• 13:41
  Dayna Roselli: Well, because we wonder, like, you have to do it so quick, change those tires, do all that.
• 13:46
  Dayna Roselli: Like, I can't even imagine what skill that takes.
• 13:49
  Sean McAllister: I know.
• 13:49
  Dayna Roselli: And the safety of the driver is and really all the other cars around that driver, because if that car spins out and sets on fire and hits another one, I mean, there's a lot of pressure on you.
• 13:59
  Sean McAllister: There is.
• 14:00
  Sean McAllister: And I mean, seeing the coordination and the preparation and uh all the behind-the-scenes action over there in the pit really was fascinating.
• 14:11
  Sean McAllister: And if you ever get the chance, definitely uh take in a race from that vantage point because it does give you a different perspective on what's going on there.
• 14:22
  Dayna Roselli: We are really starting to love it.
• 14:23
  Dayna Roselli: Again, we want to thank Chris and Missy for inviting us.
• 14:26
  Dayna Roselli: And they they told us once you see it in person, you're really gonna love it.
• 14:29
  Dayna Roselli: And you and I are really starting to love it.
• 14:31
  Sean McAllister: It's so fun.
• 14:32
  Dayna Roselli: It is.
• 14:33
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, we had someone, you know, write us on Twitter and say, Oh, what?
• 14:36
  Dayna Roselli: You couldn't go to the media center, you had to go to the owner's suite.
• 14:38
  Dayna Roselli: And I said, you know what?
• 14:39
  Dayna Roselli: Like, listen, this is Vegas Revealed.
• 14:41
  Dayna Roselli: That's how we roll.
• 14:42
  Dayna Roselli: We got an invitation to go to the owner's suite, so we said yes.
• 14:46
  Dayna Roselli: We can't help it.
• 14:47
  Dayna Roselli: What are we gonna do?
• 14:48
  Dayna Roselli: Say no, no, we're going.
• 14:49
  Dayna Roselli: I'm gonna have shrimp, I'm gonna have a Diet Coke, and I'm gonna sit there warm and cozy behind the glass in the owner's suite, a front seat to the whole race, and I'm gonna watch because I was invited.
• 15:04
  Sean McAllister: It is a nice way to watch the race.
• 15:06
  Sean McAllister: It is without a doubt.
• 15:08
  Dayna Roselli: But we did do both.
• 15:09
  Dayna Roselli: We did one side and then we went up to the suite.
• 15:10
  Dayna Roselli: Um, we did see the new governor up there, Joe Lombardo and his wife.
• 15:14
  Dayna Roselli: They were actually in the owner's suite as well.
• 15:16
  Dayna Roselli: Also, all the Thunderbird pilots came in, which was great.
• 15:20
  Dayna Roselli: The Air Force Thunderbirds did a flyover.
• 15:22
  Dayna Roselli: Um, they're based over at Nellis.
• 15:24
  Dayna Roselli: We love them, and it was so great to see them in person.
• 15:27
  Dayna Roselli: A young bunch, too.
• 15:28
  Sean McAllister: They are a young bunch, right?
• 15:30
  Sean McAllister: And let me tell you, we nearly needed to change our pants with the flyover that they did because you know, you expect those planes to fly over at the end of the national anthem like they like they'd normally do.
• 15:44
  Sean McAllister: So that's what we saw.
• 15:46
  Sean McAllister: The national anthem ended, the planes flew over.
• 15:49
  Sean McAllister: We were like, wow, that was so cool.
• 15:51
  Sean McAllister: It was really loud, too.
• 15:53
  Sean McAllister: Um, and then we were standing there uh next to one of the uh pit crew uh areas, and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, the planes did a reverse flyover.
• 16:07
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, they changed course and buzzed the track, and it like it was so close where we looked up and you could see the afterburners in those uh jet engines just shooting out, like you could see the fire up inside of those engines.
• 16:24
  Sean McAllister: It was insane, and we were completely caught off guard, right?
• 16:29
  Sean McAllister: And one of the uh, I think it was a firefighter at the track was standing next to us, and he was like, Yeah, I knew they were gonna do that.
• 16:38
  Dayna Roselli: And then Roselli was like, Come on, man, you couldn't give us a heads up on that.
• 16:42
  Dayna Roselli: But I had the chills because I was like, this is a top gun Tom Cruise moment for me.
• 16:46
  Sean McAllister: It was, it was a buzz the tower moment.
• 16:49
  Dayna Roselli: But it was scary.
• 16:50
  Dayna Roselli: I had a friend that was in the stands write me on Instagram after she saw my reel, and she said, That second flyby scared the crap out of me.
• 16:59
  Dayna Roselli: And I thought, yeah, it really was like out of nowhere.
• 17:02
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, they have to go back, right?
• 17:04
  Dayna Roselli: But they could have gone like up and around.
• 17:06
  Sean McAllister: They they could have.
• 17:06
  Dayna Roselli: Or a little higher.
• 17:07
  Sean McAllister: They gave us an extra show.
• 17:09
  Sean McAllister: I love it.
• 17:09
  Sean McAllister: So it was.
• 17:10
  Sean McAllister: It was great seeing those Thunderbird pilots up in the air and uh back in the back on the ground in the suite there.
• 17:18
  Sean McAllister: And they are very skilled uh airmen and women, and we applaud them for everything they do.
• 17:26
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and it was great.
• 17:27
  Dayna Roselli: Big kudos to uh Terry Fader, who did the national anthem.
• 17:31
  Dayna Roselli: Terry Fader, one of our longtime Las Vegas headliners here in town, he was the one who did the anthem.
• 17:36
  Dayna Roselli: So it was a very Vegas-y opening.
• 17:38
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so anyway, we'll be back in the fall to go back again, and and you guys should all go too at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
• 17:45
  Sean McAllister: Hey, uh Keith Urban, we mentioned this last week.
• 17:49
  Sean McAllister: He kicked off his new Las Vegas residency, Keith Urban.
• 17:53
  Sean McAllister: Uh live in Las Vegas.
• 17:55
  Sean McAllister: Live in Las Vegas, the residency over at Zappos Theater inside Planet Hollywood.
• 18:00
  Sean McAllister: Uh, we went over there, and what a musician he is.
• 18:04
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, well, and you had seen him at the Coliseum, right?
• 18:06
  Dayna Roselli: Is that where you saw him?
• 18:07
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 18:07
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, and I had I've never seen him.
• 18:09
  Dayna Roselli: So I was looking forward to.
• 18:11
  Dayna Roselli: I have some friends at home that are like Keith Urban fans times 10.
• 18:16
  Dayna Roselli: They were telling me the whole rundown what songs to listen to before I went to the show, asking me, I wonder if he's gonna give away one of his guitars like he usually does.
• 18:25
  Dayna Roselli: I said, I'll get the lowdown.
• 18:26
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, but you had seen him and you said he was fantastic.
• 18:28
  Dayna Roselli: I was excited to see him for the first time because I heard he's fantastic.
• 18:32
  Dayna Roselli: And yeah, we went to the Zappos Theater uh to see this new show, and it was packed.
• 18:38
  Dayna Roselli: I was like, we got in there and I was like, I felt like every seat was taken.
• 18:42
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 18:42
  Dayna Roselli: Pretty much.
• 18:43
  Dayna Roselli: There were two actually next to us that were empty, and they might have been someone that couldn't make it or something like that, but the whole theater was packed.
• 18:50
  Sean McAllister: And during the show, uh, nearly the entire theater was up on its feet the entire time for the most part.
• 18:59
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 18:59
  Sean McAllister: Which you don't normally see at a Las Vegas show.
• 19:04
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it kind of depends.
• 19:05
  Dayna Roselli: You're right.
• 19:06
  Dayna Roselli: Depends on what kind of I mean, people love Keith Urban.
• 19:08
  Dayna Roselli: I he is a great musician, like you said, great voice, a great talent.
• 19:13
  Dayna Roselli: I was excited when they finally put him up on the big screens behind him because I couldn't see that close.
• 19:18
  Dayna Roselli: And so I thought um I was happy that they did that after a few songs because I thought, oh no, um, because we were a little farther back, and I was like, I really want to see like his hand playing the guitar and stuff like that.
• 19:28
  Dayna Roselli: So listen, if you're a Keith Urban fan, splurge and get up close.
• 19:32
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but if not, eventually they do bring everyone up on the big screen.
• 19:35
  Dayna Roselli: I know a part that you loved is when they actually introduced the musicians that were on stage with him, they were fabulous.
• 19:42
  Sean McAllister: They really were.
• 19:43
  Sean McAllister: And you know, normally when you go see uh a concert or a residency show, when the main entertainer introduces the band, you know, they go around the horn, they'll, you know, maybe the saxophone guy does a little ditty on his horn, and the drummer does a little drum riff.
• 20:02
  Sean McAllister: What was cool about what Keith Urban did is he gave each of his band members, he like brought them center stage and had them put on their own show.
• 20:15
  Sean McAllister: And uh they got to, I'm assuming, choose a song of their choice to play and or sing.
• 20:24
  Sean McAllister: Um and it was really cool to see the level of musicianship that each of those band members possesses.
• 20:34
  Sean McAllister: And then when you put them all together, it really is phenomenal.
• 20:39
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 20:40
  Dayna Roselli: And a lot of fun.
• 20:41
  Dayna Roselli: And he also did give away a guitar.
• 20:43
  Dayna Roselli: He did.
• 20:43
  Dayna Roselli: That was the answer to that question, just in case you want to know.
• 20:46
  Dayna Roselli: If you go to see the residency, it's if it's the same as when he does his concert.
• 20:50
  Dayna Roselli: So there was that.
• 20:51
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I did download the song that he does with Carrie Underwood.
• 20:55
  Dayna Roselli: I forgot I love that song, and now I've got it on my Spotify.
• 20:58
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so I left with that.
• 21:00
  Dayna Roselli: Um, listen, I I'm not even gonna say this is a negative at all, but my only negative about the show, and it's not even a negative, is it did critique it would be that it it felt very much like like Miranda Lambert did, like a very much like a more of a concert than a Vegasy show, but it was fabulous.
• 21:20
  Dayna Roselli: It sounded great.
• 21:21
  Dayna Roselli: Nobody, if you're a Keith Urban fan, you're not disappointed.
• 21:24
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, listen, it was a great show.
• 21:26
  Dayna Roselli: I was looking for something maybe a little unique or Vegas style, but you know, that's not what Keith is about, maybe, and and that that's fine too.
• 21:38
  Dayna Roselli: So it it worked, it was packed, and I have a feeling he's just gonna sell just fine.
• 21:42
  Sean McAllister: I think so.
• 21:43
  Sean McAllister: And uh side note the two uh women who were sitting right in front of us, this was their 13th Keith Urban show.
• 21:53
  Sean McAllister: They had seen a bunch of them.
• 21:55
  Sean McAllister: One show that they were planning to go to was canceled because of the pandemic.
• 22:00
  Sean McAllister: So they were excited to be back and to be here in Las Vegas and see their guy.
• 22:06
  Sean McAllister: Um, they even made a sign.
• 22:08
  Dayna Roselli: They did.
• 22:08
  Dayna Roselli: They had that sign and they said, listen, we're gonna hold this sign up in front of you.
• 22:11
  Dayna Roselli: Don't get mad at us.
• 22:12
  Dayna Roselli: And we're like, no, do your sign.
• 22:14
  Dayna Roselli: You spent a lot of time on it, right?
• 22:15
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 22:17
  Dayna Roselli: We get it.
• 22:18
  Dayna Roselli: You're a huge super fan.
• 22:19
  Dayna Roselli: You deserve to hold your sign up.
• 22:21
  Dayna Roselli: Go on.
• 22:21
  Sean McAllister: That's right.
• 22:22
  Sean McAllister: And they did.
• 22:24
  Dayna Roselli: They sure did.
• 22:25
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, also, uh coming up soon, Maroon 5 is gonna kick off their residency over at the Park MGM.
• 22:31
  Dayna Roselli: So looking forward to that.
• 22:33
  Dayna Roselli: That is actually right at the end of March, March 24th and 5th, I think they kick off that weekend.
• 22:40
  Sean McAllister: Yes.
• 22:40
  Dayna Roselli: So that'll be good.
• 22:41
  Dayna Roselli: That same weekend, the horseshoe is having its grand opening.
• 22:45
  Dayna Roselli: And when we say the horseshoe, with the former Bally's, it's officially all moved over, the carpet's fresh, they've redone the inside, and now they're doing like a big grand opening um that weekend as well.
• 22:58
  Dayna Roselli: So I'm excited that we've officially switched over to the horseshoe, brand new kind of name, but an old name brought back to the strip.
• 23:05
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 23:05
  Sean McAllister: So we'll be going over to uh check out that grand opening.
• 23:09
  Sean McAllister: Also that week, um, that Thursday, the 23rd, six, the Broadway musical, uh, which uh won a Tony Award.
• 23:19
  Sean McAllister: I forget exactly which award it won.
• 23:23
  Sean McAllister: At any rate, it's phenomenal.
• 23:25
  Sean McAllister: Uh, it's been on Broadway, it's been out touring the country, and now uh the musical is doing an eight-week residency over at the Venetian.
• 23:36
  Sean McAllister: So that kicks off on Thursday, March 23rd.
• 23:39
  Sean McAllister: And it's a fantastic show.
• 23:40
  Sean McAllister: It's one of my favorites.
• 23:42
  Sean McAllister: The music is great.
• 23:43
  Sean McAllister: Um, so I recommend that highly.
• 23:45
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing that over at the Venetian for the first time.
• 23:48
  Dayna Roselli: So, because you've talked so highly about it.
• 23:51
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, I thought I'd mention this.
• 23:52
  Dayna Roselli: There's a new restaurant coming to Caesars Palace, and the reason is I was trying to think.
• 23:55
  Dayna Roselli: I was like, when's the last time something new has opened in Caesar's Palace?
• 23:58
  Dayna Roselli: It's been a while.
• 23:59
  Dayna Roselli: Now, many things, many restaurants have opened at the forum shops, which is attached to Caesars Palace, but the actual hotel casino portion, because the forum shops is kind of it's attached, but it's run by a different company and all that kind of thing.
• 24:12
  Dayna Roselli: So Caesars Palace hasn't really opened something new inside in a while.
• 24:17
  Dayna Roselli: So I'm looking forward to going to this.
• 24:19
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, there have been some other, there have been some like bar concepts that have opened.
• 24:24
  Sean McAllister: I know there was the um uh a pastry uh shop that opened in there, but as far as like a sit-down restaurant, I think this is the first in years, new like, yeah, sit-down restaurant in a while.
• 24:39
  Dayna Roselli: I think we went to Bobby Flay's new restaurant.
• 24:41
  Dayna Roselli: That was what's what, three years ago, two and a half years ago?
• 24:44
  Dayna Roselli: That was new.
• 24:44
  Sean McAllister: I think so, yeah.
• 24:45
  Dayna Roselli: And that was the last time.
• 24:47
  Dayna Roselli: But listen, they have some staples in Caesars Palace at work.
• 24:49
  Dayna Roselli: It doesn't mean that you have to constantly be opening something new, but I just thought, okay, this is worth a mention.
• 24:54
  Dayna Roselli: It's right next to Omni and Nightclub, and it's going to be opened by the Tau Group, and it's called Stanton Social Prime.
• 25:00
  Dayna Roselli: And it um is going to feature, apparently, this already caught my attention, the famous French onion soup dumplings topped with cheese and garlic croutons, as well as pierogies made with potato goat, cheese, and truffle.
• 25:20
  Dayna Roselli: So, I mean, the menu looks amazing.
• 25:22
  Dayna Roselli: I'm looking forward to this.
• 25:24
  Dayna Roselli: It is right next to Omnia, the restaurant that was there before, what was it called?
• 25:27
  Dayna Roselli: Seer was it uh Seersucker.
• 25:29
  Dayna Roselli: Seersucker.
• 25:30
  Dayna Roselli: And that was there for a long time.
• 25:31
  Dayna Roselli: So changing that over, we'll be heading over to the uh grand opening to check it out and let you know how it is.
• 25:36
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, uh Seersucker, the chef over there was Brian Millarkey, who is well known from uh being on top chef.
• 25:45
  Sean McAllister: And actually, in my recent trip down to San Diego, um we ate at one of his restaurants and he was walking through, stopped over at the table to chat, and um good to see him.
• 25:55
  Sean McAllister: But yeah, yeah, his Seersucker's been replaced.
• 25:58
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, well, and Chef Santos is is heading in to take that over, so it'll be good.
• 26:03
  Dayna Roselli: And we were like thinking, like, wait, is Omnia owned by Tau Group now?
• 26:07
  Dayna Roselli: And then we looked it up and we're like, Oh yeah, it changed hands.
• 26:09
  Dayna Roselli: So that'll be a nice little partnership there with the restaurant next door and then the nightclub.
• 26:15
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I haven't been to Omnia in a while either.
• 26:17
  Dayna Roselli: Can't make it to everything, but um they're still going.
• 26:21
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, um, we wanted to quickly talk about this new slot machine winnings proposal.
• 26:26
  Dayna Roselli: We think this will interest a lot of you because we know a lot of our listeners love Las Vegas, but also do visit Las Vegas regularly.
• 26:34
  Dayna Roselli: Or you're a local who likes to play the slot machines.
• 26:37
  Sean McAllister: This is something I'm excited about.
• 26:38
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 26:39
  Sean McAllister: Even though I have never won anything on a slot machine that has hit the uh mandatory W-2 threshold, um I'm excited about it because now uh our Nevada Congresswoman, Dina Titus, is proposing that the threshold for mandatory tax filings on a slot machine jackpot be increased from twelve hundred dollars, which it's been for decades.
• 27:11
  Sean McAllister: Now the proposal is to increase that threshold to five thousand dollars.
• 27:16
  Sean McAllister: So if you win anything under five thousand dollars, you would not be uh required automatically to file a W-2 on your casino winnings.
• 27:30
  Dayna Roselli: Right, like on the spot we're talking about, where they actually bring you the forms.
• 27:34
  Dayna Roselli: It was interesting her reasoning behind this.
• 27:37
  Dayna Roselli: Um she was saying, you know, like you win, you're excited about it.
• 27:41
  Dayna Roselli: A lot of times these slot attendants and the staff are busy, it's a busy night.
• 27:45
  Dayna Roselli: So, you know, the slot machine stops, you have to sit there, you have to wait for the attendant to come, fill out the paperwork, and it kind of like, you know, kind of like tarnishes your spirit a little bit.
• 27:55
  Dayna Roselli: It's like, you know, if you think about it, well, these people, if they won that much and then they cash out, they might hop right over to another machine and keep the high going, you know?
• 28:03
  Dayna Roselli: But sometimes you have to wait a really long time and it kind of ruins the party.
• 28:08
  Sean McAllister: It does.
• 28:08
  Sean McAllister: It does.
• 28:09
  Dayna Roselli: And also for folks that win at the airport, you might have a flight to catch.
• 28:13
  Dayna Roselli: What do you do?
• 28:13
  Dayna Roselli: You got to sit around and wait for the paperwork to come.
• 28:15
  Dayna Roselli: It could be a little bit of a hassle, right?
• 28:17
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, you don't want that.
• 28:18
  Dayna Roselli: And then uh they were also saying, like, listen, twelve hundred dollars is not what it used to be.
• 28:23
  Dayna Roselli: That used to be like a lot of money, but with inflation and the way things cost today, it's a whole new world.
• 28:28
  Dayna Roselli: And we should up it to$5,000.
• 28:29
  Dayna Roselli: So I thought that was interesting.
• 28:31
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it having to do with all the the fact that it act you actually stop everything in order to fill out this paperwork.
• 28:39
  Dayna Roselli: So now you won't have to do that unless you win$5,000 or more if they pass this proposal.
• 28:43
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 28:44
  Sean McAllister: And that got us wondering well, like, are you supposed to claim all of your uh gambling winnings?
• 28:51
  Sean McAllister: You know, even if it's under that threshold.
• 28:54
  Sean McAllister: So we reached out to our amazing uh tax professional Tracy from Targeted Tax Relief.
• 29:00
  Sean McAllister: Uh, you've heard targeted tax relief mentioned here on the podcast many times before.
• 29:05
  Sean McAllister: Um, so we said, Tracy, what's the deal with uh gambling winnings?
• 29:11
  Sean McAllister: And she said, technically, you are supposed to claim all of your winnings.
• 29:17
  Sean McAllister: Now, if you are a big gambler, you can weigh the winnings against your losses, but you need to sit down with a tax professional like Tracy who uh can hash all that out.
• 29:29
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 29:30
  Sean McAllister: However, right now, if you win under$1,200, the IRS is not going to be automatically notified of your winnings.
• 29:39
  Sean McAllister: So it could fly under the radar a little bit.
• 29:43
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 29:43
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, that's up to you.
• 29:45
  Dayna Roselli: You're supposed to claim it, but yeah, apparently, like you said, the$1,200 generates this W2G form, which then you know has to be filed and all that kind of thing.
• 29:53
  Dayna Roselli: But if it goes to the$5,000, it the form won't come until then.
• 29:57
  Dayna Roselli: And so anything under$5,000, that's your responsibility.
• 30:02
  Sean McAllister: So good on uh Congresswoman Dina Titus for proposing this plan to uh up the tax threshold for slot machine winnings to$5,000.
• 30:12
  Sean McAllister: I am excited about this and I hope that it gets pushed through.
• 30:16
  Dayna Roselli: Well, one thing you did say is that, and I don't play a lot of slot machines or the video poker, but you said, you know, it's kind of not easy, but realistically, a lot of people win$1,200 or more on these poker machines.
• 30:29
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, for sure.
• 30:30
  Sean McAllister: It happens all the time, kind of for sure.
• 30:31
  Sean McAllister: Even if you're doing yeah, the bar top poker and you get a royal, I mean, uh boom, that's a good chunk of change right there.
• 30:39
  Sean McAllister: You know, if you can keep$4,499.99 in your pocket without having to file a form, that's good news.
• 30:49
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, sure is.
• 30:50
  Dayna Roselli: All right, let's do some tips.
• 30:55
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, Sean, uh, tips today kind of go together because I thought of the first one that I saw on Twitter, and then I thought, oh yeah.
• 31:04
  Dayna Roselli: And then uh the second one's gonna just flow right into it.
• 31:07
  Dayna Roselli: But the first one was something that I saw Clark County put out on Twitter, and I thought, I didn't know this.
• 31:13
  Dayna Roselli: And you said, Oh yeah, I knew.
• 31:14
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm like, I had no idea.
• 31:15
  Dayna Roselli: So what it is is like a lot of people love to take pictures at the Welcome to Las Vegas sign.
• 31:20
  Dayna Roselli: We have the main one.
• 31:21
  Dayna Roselli: Sometimes the line can get pretty long.
• 31:23
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, sure.
• 31:23
  Dayna Roselli: It's a small lot.
• 31:24
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, you have to park, it can be a little manic, that kind of thing.
• 31:27
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it's right there on Las Vegas Boulevard before you get to Mandalay Bay.
• 31:31
  Dayna Roselli: But apparently there is another sign I had no idea on Boulder Highway near Tropicana.
• 31:37
  Dayna Roselli: So way over on the east side.
• 31:38
  Dayna Roselli: But they were like, hey, if you don't want to line up for a picture, this is a great place to go.
• 31:45
  Dayna Roselli: If you want that welcome to Las Vegas sign, it is.
• 31:47
  Sean McAllister: I forgot, I forget when I first recognized that there was a sign over there on Boulder Highway, but it's been years and years, and it is definitely not the tourist attraction that the sign on Las Vegas Boulevard is.
• 32:04
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 32:04
  Sean McAllister: However, if you want that picture with the sign and you don't want to wait in line, you don't want to deal with crowds, you don't want to deal with the traffic on Las Vegas Boulevard, they can get a little dicey.
• 32:18
  Sean McAllister: Um, head over to Boulder Highway.
• 32:21
  Sean McAllister: I'm like get that picture and photoshop the strip into the background.
• 32:25
  Dayna Roselli: Well, I mean, because can you see the strip in the back of the like when you get a picture at the Welcome to Las Vegas sign?
• 32:31
  Sean McAllister: You can't really well you can see like Mandalay Bay mostly.
• 32:34
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, okay.
• 32:35
  Sean McAllister: In the distance, you can see it.
• 32:36
  Sean McAllister: Mostly, though, it is you and the sign.
• 32:40
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 32:40
  Dayna Roselli: Well, you're right next to the Samstown and East Side Cannery here.
• 32:43
  Sean McAllister: So there's some be some other things.
• 32:45
  Sean McAllister: So you have some other big casinos.
• 32:47
  Dayna Roselli: But I'm looking at a picture of the sign.
• 32:48
  Dayna Roselli: There's some nice greenery around it.
• 32:50
  Dayna Roselli: The sign looks exactly like the one that's on Las Vegas Boulevard.
• 32:53
  Dayna Roselli: So um, FYI, I think this is a great idea if you don't feel like waiting in line.
• 32:59
  Dayna Roselli: Um, the reason that they put this out there was apparently on March 6, 2007, they did like an on this day.
• 33:05
  Dayna Roselli: 16 years ago, Clark County installed this sign.
• 33:08
  Dayna Roselli: And so, yeah, Boulder Highway and Tropicana.
• 33:10
  Sean McAllister: It was 2007.
• 33:12
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 33:12
  Sean McAllister: Wow.
• 33:13
  Sean McAllister: I know, right?
• 33:14
  Sean McAllister: We maybe that's why I remember it.
• 33:16
  Sean McAllister: Possibly.
• 33:16
  Sean McAllister: We remember that.
• 33:17
  Dayna Roselli: I remember it going in.
• 33:18
  Sean McAllister: Geez.
• 33:19
  Dayna Roselli: I know you'd think that I would remember that too, but I don't know.
• 33:22
  Dayna Roselli: I'm getting old.
• 33:22
  Dayna Roselli: A lot of things passed through my mind that don't stick like they used to.
• 33:28
  Dayna Roselli: Well, you and I just drove under the arches, the archway to downtown Las Vegas the other day.
• 33:34
  Dayna Roselli: I remember I said, John, I'm never in the passenger seat when I drive through here.
• 33:37
  Dayna Roselli: Let me grab some video.
• 33:38
  Dayna Roselli: But I love what they're doing here.
• 33:39
  Dayna Roselli: This is another tip if you want an iconic picture.
• 33:42
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, what um what the city is doing, they have built kind of an observation deck uh on the right hand side of Las Vegas Boulevard, if you're going north, um, where you can snap an amazing picture of the uh arches gateway with the strat right behind it.
• 34:07
  Sean McAllister: And it's a I think that's a phenomenal spot because it is kind of like in the middle of the road.
• 34:13
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 34:14
  Sean McAllister: It's not a great spot to stop and get pictures.
• 34:17
  Sean McAllister: So to have a designated area where people can stop and you know get things loaded up on Instagram, it's a great idea.
• 34:26
  Dayna Roselli: It's a great idea, A, for safety, right?
• 34:28
  Dayna Roselli: Because like you said, it's a little tricky over there.
• 34:31
  Dayna Roselli: And people want they these arches are like literally one of my favorite things.
• 34:35
  Sean McAllister: It's so cool.
• 34:36
  Sean McAllister: Whenever something is posted about them, it goes crazy.
• 34:40
  Sean McAllister: People are like, oh my gosh, that looks so cool.
• 34:42
  Sean McAllister: Where is that?

  Dayna Roselli: So now they have this observation deck.

  Dayna Roselli: It's pedestrian friendly, it's a viewing deck, like Sean mentioned, and that is now considered one of our popular landmarks here in Las Vegas.
• 35:06
  Dayna Roselli: So it's right on the way, you pass the strat right there on the left.
• 35:10
  Dayna Roselli: And apparently, this was in conjunction with the strat and the city, and it's a new spot that visitors and locals are gonna stop to get that good old insta picture.

  Sean McAllister: I love it.
• 35:21
  Sean McAllister: We're gonna have to stop down there.

  Dayna Roselli: We haven't had too many laughs, so I'm just gonna bring this up to end the podcast.
• 36:02
  Sean McAllister: Okay.
• 36:03
  Sean McAllister: I I'm excited to hear what this is.
• 36:04
  Dayna Roselli: Well, because I kind of told you, but I think it's funny that um we never talked about this.
• 36:08
  Dayna Roselli: This is a random, who do I look like, right?
• 36:10
  Dayna Roselli: Who's my celebrity?
• 36:12
  Dayna Roselli: Doppelganger.
• 36:13
  Dayna Roselli: I posted this thing on my TikTok where I was talking about my hair.
• 36:16
  Dayna Roselli: I had my hair back, glasses on, um, and someone commented Celine Dion.
• 36:22
  Dayna Roselli: And I thought, that's so funny she said that because a few people in my life have stopped me and said, You kind of look like Celine Dion.
• 36:29
  Dayna Roselli: And if you look at me just like staring at you, you'd be like, No, you don't.
• 36:32
  Dayna Roselli: But there are some times when my hair's back, or in a certain scenario, if you look, I asked her, I said, Do you think I look like Celine Dion?
• 36:42
  Dayna Roselli: And she said, I sure do.
• 36:44
  Dayna Roselli: And I thought, you know what?
• 36:45
  Dayna Roselli: I kind of do look like Celine Dion.
• 36:49
  Sean McAllister: Listen, put on your beaded gown, stand out there on Las Vegas Boulevard, and make people pay five bucks to take pictures with you.
• 36:58
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, if I have like a long hair wig, right?
• 37:01
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 37:01
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but no, I don't know.
• 37:03
  Dayna Roselli: Like sometimes Celine puts her hair back, right?
• 37:05
  Dayna Roselli: Like really tight.
• 37:06
  Dayna Roselli: And and I happen to have my hair like that in this video.
• 37:09
  Dayna Roselli: And I think that's where, you know, we have similar noses.
• 37:12
  Dayna Roselli: We got the bigger nose, we've got the little chin, the long cheeks.
• 37:16
  Dayna Roselli: So there are some and the deep set eyes.
• 37:18
  Dayna Roselli: And so I made me laugh.
• 37:20
  Dayna Roselli: And I thought, listen, I'm not sad about looking like Celine Dion at all.
• 37:24
  Dayna Roselli: So you can say that.
• 37:25
  Dayna Roselli: But maybe you write us or tweet us or Instagram us, let me know.
• 37:29
  Dayna Roselli: Do you think I look like Celine Dion?
• 37:31
  Dayna Roselli: If so, I'm going for Celine next Halloween.
• 37:34
  Sean McAllister: And also, if you have been told that you look like a celebrity, if you are a celebrity's doppelganger, um, send us pictures on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, whatever we want to see.
• 37:47
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and especially if there's a Vegas connection, right?
• 37:49

• 38:08
  Sean McAllister: I there's a couple times I've gotten Andy Roddick a little bit.
• 38:12
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, a little like Stifler.
• 38:14
  SPEAKER_03: Slightly.
• 38:15
  SPEAKER_03: He you're much better looking than Stifler.
• 38:17
  SPEAKER_03: He's kind of got it like a little bit of a I don't know, evil twinge.
• 38:23
  SPEAKER_03: Look to him.
• 38:25
  SPEAKER_03: Like one eye goes up higher than the other and all that.

  Sean McAllister: I don't fully see that.
• 38:36
  Sean McAllister: Okay, let's see.
• 38:37
  Sean McAllister: Either.
• 38:38

  Dayna Roselli: I mean like maybe Andy from you know, he wears a baseball hat from a distance.
• 38:44
  Sean McAllister: We're both white guys with dark hair.
• 38:46
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I mean, I always say you're similar to Ryan Seacrest, but uh not really.
• 38:52
  Dayna Roselli: Again, it's like you have the presence of these people, but I wouldn't say, but I could see all those.
• 38:57
  Sean McAllister: Maybe an amalgamation of all of them.
• 38:59
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 39:00
  Sean McAllister: You take features from one, throw them on.
• 39:02
  Sean McAllister: It's like a Mr.
• 39:03
  Sean McAllister: Potato Head.
• 39:03
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 39:04
  Sean McAllister: I'm a Mr.
• 39:04
  Sean McAllister: Potato Head of these people.
• 39:06
  Dayna Roselli: No.
• 39:06
  Dayna Roselli: No, we were in uh Uber once, and I remember the Uber driver said, You look like someone.
• 39:10
  Dayna Roselli: Like he could tell, like you kind of just have that.
• 39:13
  Dayna Roselli: Sean has a very uh he has a TV presence about you.
• 39:17
  Dayna Roselli: Like you can kind of, when you look at you, like that guy must be on TV.
• 39:21
  Sean McAllister: Oh, see, I was gonna say a generic look.
• 39:23
  Dayna Roselli: No, I think like you're like that guy's a host of something.
• 39:26
  Dayna Roselli: And so I think like people bring that up, and it's like that's where the kind of like Ryan Seacrest crossover comes from.
• 39:32
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, um, that's how I wanted to end the podcast.
• 39:35
