  SPEAKER_01: There's nothing like uh creating something from nothing and um, you know, walking into this room.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_01: You know, usually you start a show from from zero, but I feel like I was starting the show from from 75.

  Dayna Roselli: Welcome everyone to Vegas Revealed, episode 223.
• 0:54
  Dayna Roselli: Dana Roselli and Sean McAllister here.
• 0:57
  Dayna Roselli: Moving right along in 2024, I think it's safe to say Sean Summer is officially here in Vegas terms because we hit 100 today.
• 1:07
  Sean McAllister: We did.
• 1:08
  Sean McAllister: And uh I've been wondering when we were gonna hit this milestone.
• 1:12
  Sean McAllister: But it is here, and I've got the the misters all set up on the back patio so that it's bearable to be outside, and we're in for a nice warm summer.
• 1:23
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, you're ready for a big old air conditioning bill, aren't you?
• 1:26
  Sean McAllister: Oh, I it's been running so much.
• 1:28
  Sean McAllister: I'm dreading that bill.
• 1:30
  Dayna Roselli: And we're just at 100.
• 1:31
  Dayna Roselli: Wait till it hits 110.
• 1:33
  Sean McAllister: And 20.
• 1:34
  Sean McAllister: Ugh.
• 1:34
  Sean McAllister: I know.
• 1:35
  Dayna Roselli: It is the worst when it comes to electricity bills.
• 1:38
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, um, we're moving right along though, and summer is in full swing.
• 1:42
  Dayna Roselli: We've got all our summer activities kicking up on the strip.
• 1:45
  Dayna Roselli: The pools are packed, we love it.
• 1:47
  Dayna Roselli: Um, something I wanted to hit right at the top of this show is something people have been talking about on social media, and that's the changes to resorts world parking fees and tiers and all that kind of thing.
• 1:59
  Dayna Roselli: So we wanted to get some answers, went right to Resorts World, and we got it all laid out for you.
• 2:03
  Dayna Roselli: So here's what you need to know.
• 2:05
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 2:05
  Sean McAllister: So um just to give you a little background, up until this point, if you uh were a member of Genting Rewards and you downloaded the Resorts World app, you automatically received free parking.
• 2:19
  Sean McAllister: You've got a QR code when you pull in and pull out, you just scan it, you get in and out of the garage.
• 2:24
  Sean McAllister: Well, there's a little bit of a change now.
• 2:28
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 2:28
  Dayna Roselli: So you have to be elite tier in order to get the all-free parking now.
• 2:34
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 2:34
  Dayna Roselli: So anything under that doesn't count.
• 2:37
  Dayna Roselli: Where it used to be, it didn't matter what tier you were.
• 2:40
  Sean McAllister: And and just to give you some perspective, elite tier is like one up from the entry level tier.
• 2:47
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so it's not too bad.
• 2:49
  Sean McAllister: It's not too bad.
• 2:50
  Dayna Roselli: However, I'm not a big gambler, I go on the property to do entertainment and restaurants and shopping.
• 2:57
  Dayna Roselli: So for me, it is hard to get up to that status.
• 3:00
  Sean McAllister: Yes, I agree.
• 3:01
  Sean McAllister: Even though I do go to, you know, restaurants, whatever when I'm over there, and you still can get points for doing that.
• 3:07
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 3:07
  Sean McAllister: Um, you have to be like a regular, a regular patron.
• 3:13
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 3:13
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, we love Resorts World.
• 3:15
  Dayna Roselli: We're bummed about this because we've talked about on the podcast before how the the free parking with the app is so amazing.
• 3:22
  Dayna Roselli: You just turn on your code.
• 3:24
  Dayna Roselli: So we were bummed, but we reached out to Resorts World and they said, Hey, here's the deal.
• 3:28
  Dayna Roselli: We are still going to have three hours of free parking for all guests, and that kicks up Monday, June 3rd.
• 3:36
  Dayna Roselli: So I I'm so relieved to hear that.
• 3:38
  Sean McAllister: Yes.
• 3:39
  Sean McAllister: I mean, because you can get uh for the most part uh visits to casinos if you're popping in for a show, for a dinner, whatever, um, you can do that within the three hour span.
• 3:54
  Dayna Roselli: I think so.
• 3:54
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 3:55
  Dayna Roselli: Generally, most times, right.
• 3:57
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and somebody said, Well, the the walk from the parking garage is is that far, three hours.
• 4:02
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm like, I don't know what garage you're parking at, but the one that we park at is like literally you go down the elevator and you're in the casino.
• 4:08
  Dayna Roselli: It's amazing.
• 4:09
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it lets you out like right in front of the Resorts World Theater.
• 4:12
  Sean McAllister: Now I know that there is another parking garage, um, but I never park there.
• 4:18
  Sean McAllister: I've only parked there once, and that was like before Resorts World even opened when we went over for like a property tour.
• 4:25
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 4:26
  Sean McAllister: And all the rest of the time, I go to I go to the other one.
• 4:30
  Sean McAllister: I know we're so much easier.
• 4:31
  Dayna Roselli: We're looking at each other, like, what's the name of it?
• 4:33
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know what garage the name is, but it's right there in the back along the road.
• 4:38
  Sean McAllister: Not there's one off of Gotong Way, and there's one off of Genting Drive or Resorts World Drive.
• 4:48
  Dayna Roselli: Maybe Resorts World Drive, I think it is.
• 4:49
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 4:50
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my gosh.
• 4:50
  Dayna Roselli: We're we're not being very helpful.
• 4:53
  Dayna Roselli: Well, we couldn't stop and start over, and like this just came out of nowhere where we got into the parking garage location thing.
• 5:01
  Dayna Roselli: So listen, don't go to the one that is along the road that is more swervy.
• 5:12
  Sean McAllister: And definitely do not get directions from us either.
• 5:15
  Dayna Roselli: And connects to Dean Martin.
• 5:17
  Dayna Roselli: No, you want to go to the one along Dean Martin.
• 5:19
  Dayna Roselli: Is it Dean Martin or Frank Sinatra?
• 5:21
  Dayna Roselli: Well, I think over there or Sammy Davis.
• 5:23
  Sean McAllister: I think it's Sammy Davis over there.
• 5:24
  Sean McAllister: Or industrial.
• 5:26
  Sean McAllister: I don't know.
• 5:26
  Dayna Roselli: I love that we have Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, and Frank Sinatra.
• 5:30
  Sean McAllister: Oh, the rat pack.
• 5:31
  Sean McAllister: Yes.
• 5:31
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 5:33
  Dayna Roselli: This is the most unhelpful, horrible conversation ever.
• 5:36
  Sean McAllister: But when you go up the main drive to Resorts World, if you're turning off the Las Vegas strip and you turn on the main driveway, that's where you're gonna find the good parking garage.
• 5:50
  Dayna Roselli: Now I'm getting on my map.
• 5:52
  Dayna Roselli: Resorts World Drive.
• 5:54
  Sean McAllister: Resorts World Drive.
• 5:55
  Sean McAllister: Okay, that's what I thought.
• 5:56
  Dayna Roselli: That's what you were right, okay.
• 5:57
  Dayna Roselli: And then you'd think I used to.
• 5:59
  Sean McAllister: Gotong Way is the other one, isn't it?
• 6:02
  Dayna Roselli: Gotong Way is like the is yes, it's the swerve into the the swervy one that kind of goes behind Resorts World.
• 6:10
  Sean McAllister: Between Resorts World and the fashion show.
• 6:13
  Dayna Roselli: Genting goes to Gotong.
• 6:19
  Dayna Roselli: I think we're just gonna leave this in because it's the most ridiculous conversation.
• 6:23
  Dayna Roselli: And I hope that everyone at home is not like these people are wasting my time.
• 6:27
  Dayna Roselli: This is funny.
• 6:28
  Dayna Roselli: Because this is literally cracking me up.
• 6:32
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, so off Las Vegas Boulevard, you turn right on Genting, and there is the parking garage that's attached to Gentine and Gotong.
• 6:41
  Dayna Roselli: Don't park there.
• 6:42
  Dayna Roselli: Park over at the one on Resorts World Drive that attaches to Sammy Davis Drive Jr.
• 6:56
  Sean McAllister: So basically, we had everything covered.
• 6:59
  Dayna Roselli: Listen, I did traffic on television for a very long period of time, but these roads didn't exist back then.
• 7:05
  Sean McAllister: They didn't.
• 7:06
  Sean McAllister: And you were always looking down with a bird's eye view from the helicopter.
• 7:11
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, right.
• 7:11
  Dayna Roselli: There.
• 7:12
  Dayna Roselli: Excuse.
• 7:13
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, yes.
• 7:13
  Sean McAllister: Okay, we weren't really gonna go this long on the resorts world parking, but gosh, here we are.
• 7:18
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 7:19
  Dayna Roselli: Here we are.
• 7:19
  Dayna Roselli: Listen, as part of Resorts World's committed uh commitment to enrich the guest experience, they say they are offering all guests complimentary parking for up to three hours beginning Monday, June 3rd.
• 7:31
  Dayna Roselli: You don't have to be a local, it's all guests, locals, visitors, you name it.
• 7:36
  Dayna Roselli: They do also um have valet options ranging from$25 to$75.
• 7:41
  Dayna Roselli: Also, after the free parking is up, just so you know, standard parking rates will apply, and that's at$18 per entry.
• 7:48
  Sean McAllister: All right.
• 7:49
  Sean McAllister: Got it.
• 7:50
  Sean McAllister: Uh Grateful Dead, Dead and Company have been having a very successful residency over at Sphere Las Vegas, and there have been a ton of deadheads filling Las Vegas, and uh we came across some activities that some deadheads might want to go and take advantage of before the show.
• 8:14
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I would love to say that I just feel like this show is bringing so many people together.
• 8:19
  Dayna Roselli: People are coming into town, meeting up with other, you know, dead and company fans, and then others that I've seen, like their their husband or their boyfriend, or someone's like, hey, we're gonna go, and then they're like, Wow, this show was amazing.
• 8:36
  Dayna Roselli: I'm officially a fan, but just also the sphere and the show and what they put on the screens and the whole experience has made me a fan.
• 8:44
  Dayna Roselli: So I love it that it's just old fans, new fans, longtime followers, and everyone's coming together and enjoying this experience so much that they had to add shows.
• 8:54
  Dayna Roselli: So that's cool.
• 8:55
  Dayna Roselli: So, because of that, like Sean said, there are some things that maybe those groups of people want to get together and do.
• 9:01
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, including um Shakedown Street.
• 9:05
  Sean McAllister: This is over at Tuscany Suites and Casino.
• 9:08
  Sean McAllister: It's happening every single show day that Dead and Company have a show over at the sphere.
• 9:14
  Sean McAllister: From 11 a.m.
• 9:15
  Sean McAllister: to 7 p.m., they have vendors, exhibits, live music.
• 9:20
  Sean McAllister: It's basically kind of like uh a little street festival that Tuscany is putting on for all the deadheads.
• 9:27
  Dayna Roselli: This is so cool.
• 9:28
  Dayna Roselli: And you and I did a podcast earlier and were mentioning that Tuscany's really stepping it up because they're realizing it's in just perfect walking distance to the sphere.
• 9:38
  Sean McAllister: Exactly.
• 9:39
  Sean McAllister: So you cross uh Flamingo Road from the Tuscany.
• 9:43
  Sean McAllister: This I know from the Tuscany, you cross Flamingo Road and go into the um the Hughes Corporate Center right across the street, and that leads you right over to uh the sphere where you enter and go to the show and have a great time.
• 10:00
  Dayna Roselli: I know, and maybe you stay at the Tuscany too.
• 10:02
  Dayna Roselli: It's a great option.
• 10:03
  Dayna Roselli: You wake up, you roll outside, get some breakfast, dip in the pool, 11 a.m., you're at the street festival.
• 10:09
  Dayna Roselli: And you don't even have to get in your car.
• 10:11
  Dayna Roselli: It's and you walk to the sphere.
• 10:13
  Dayna Roselli: And this is what the deadheads need because a lot of the times they're on some stuff.
• 10:22
  Dayna Roselli: For example, they might want to stop by the Garcia Green Room at Smoke and Mirrors to enjoy a limited edition Garcia handpicked pre-roll prior to the show as well.
• 10:36
  Sean McAllister: And Smoke and Mirrors is um really one of the the first consumption lounges, uh cannabis consumption lounges that have opened here in Las Vegas.
• 10:48
  Sean McAllister: And so uh, yeah, they're jumping on this dead bandwagon too.
• 10:51
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and I was just looking at the website, they've also got mocktails over there and different types of infused drinks.
• 10:59
  Dayna Roselli: We've talked about this before, but anyway, they're doing this special pre-roll.
• 11:03
  Dayna Roselli: The Garcia handpicked over there, so that could be fun.
• 11:07
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and they do say do not go out on the strip or walk the streets smoking the stuff.
• 11:17
  Dayna Roselli: Do it at the smoking mirrors.
• 11:19
  Sean McAllister: Enjoy your pre-roll at the consumption lounge.
• 11:23
  Sean McAllister: I feel like some people might think we had some pre-rolls before we recorded this.
• 11:27
  Dayna Roselli: Seriously, they really might.
• 11:28
  Dayna Roselli: No, we had coconut cake instead.
• 11:31
  Dayna Roselli: That Tom Cruise cake.
• 11:33
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my god.
• 11:34
  Dayna Roselli: That's a whole nother thing.
• 11:35
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, let's keep on Dead Forever.
• 11:38
  Dayna Roselli: Dead Forever, the experience is open over at the Venetian.
• 11:42
  Dayna Roselli: It is free, it's open to the public.
• 11:45
  Dayna Roselli: That's another activity that you might want to do if you're in to see Dead in Company over at the sphere.
• 11:50
  Dayna Roselli: Um, this is a really cool experience.
• 11:52
  Dayna Roselli: You and I went to Jason DeRulo, which we're gonna get to in a little bit, but on the way in, we passed the little bears too in the Palazzo Atrium.
• 11:59
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, they colored they're all, you know, different colored, happy faced bears that are smiling and waving at you right in front of that big waterfall in the atrium.
• 12:11
  Dayna Roselli: And that's kind of like the grateful dead, like kind of their theme, right?
• 12:13
  Sean McAllister: Their logo is like, they're little mascots.
• 12:15
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, they're all mascots.
• 12:17
  Sean McAllister: That's the colored bear.
• 12:18
  Sean McAllister: And they're super cute.
• 12:19
  Dayna Roselli: They are so they're doing a lot of different things that people are taking in and enjoying.
• 12:23
  Dayna Roselli: And hey, that dead forever experience at the Venetian again is free, open to the public.
• 12:28
  Dayna Roselli: So take advantage.
• 12:29
  Dayna Roselli: Listen, go into this uh festival, the Shakedown Street thing, go hang out.
• 12:34
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I mean there's a lot of things to do, and then hit the show.
• 12:37
  Dayna Roselli: We were noticing the show's pretty early too, like 7 30.
• 12:41
  Sean McAllister: It is.
• 12:42
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 12:42
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, I guess it's not early, early, but you know.
• 12:45
  Sean McAllister: Well, uh what I will say is after we got and we're about to talk about Jason DeRulo, but I'll just keep mentioning until we actually talk about him.
• 12:53
  Sean McAllister: When we got out of that show, it was pretty late.
• 12:56
  Sean McAllister: Uh it was, I don't know, like 12 30 ish ish around there.
• 13:02
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 13:02
  Sean McAllister: Um and there were still a lot of people who were walking around uh the Venetian palazzo with their Grateful Dead t-shirts on, who had probably been to the show and then, you know, were filtering out.
• 13:16
  Sean McAllister: So I think people are taking full advantage of all the experiences that that surround the show too.
• 13:22
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I agree.
• 13:23
  Dayna Roselli: I think this this is such an example of like everything is not for everyone.
• 13:29
  Dayna Roselli: I was like dead in company, you know.
• 13:31
  Dayna Roselli: I had to do some research so that we would know what we were talking about.
• 13:33
  Dayna Roselli: But I was like, okay, John Mayer and then met for you know, former members of the Grateful Dead, okay, I get it.
• 13:39
  Dayna Roselli: But then it like you know, sold really well.
• 13:41
  Dayna Roselli: Now they're adding shows, but even watching some of the video and seeing some of the reactions from people, I'm kind of like, I'd go see that now.
• 13:48
  Dayna Roselli: Like, and I had really no idea what it was all about.
• 13:52
  Dayna Roselli: But and then showing the you know, seeing all the the people in town for this show and loving it, I'm like, okay, see, you know, it doesn't something doesn't have to be for everyone.
• 14:03
  Sean McAllister: Exactly.
• 14:04
  Dayna Roselli: It needs to be for a large amount of people who love it, spread the word, bring others into it.
• 14:10
  Dayna Roselli: They spread the word, that's what it's all about, and these guys are huge.
• 14:14
  Sean McAllister: Well, and uh like you were mentioning before, it brings people together, fans from you know, I have a buddy from college who loves the dead, and as soon as these shows were announced, he posted on Facebook, he was like, Okay, who's coming with me to Vegas?
• 14:32
  Sean McAllister: And people started chiming in, you know, our college friends who've dispersed all over the country.
• 14:37
  Sean McAllister: They're like, I'll meet you there.
• 14:39
  Sean McAllister: Let's go.
• 14:40
  Sean McAllister: So people are it's bringing these groups of people together again who maybe haven't seen each other in decades.
• 14:46
  Sean McAllister: And it is an experience.
• 14:48
  Sean McAllister: And by the way, those uh added shows are coming up in August, August 1st through the 10th.
• 14:55
  Sean McAllister: Um, that brings the number of shows that Dead and Company are doing over at Sphere to 30.
• 15:01
  Sean McAllister: 30 shows.
• 15:02
  Sean McAllister: That's a lot.
• 15:03
  Sean McAllister: That's it.
• 15:03
  Sean McAllister: That is, I like seeing that.
• 15:05
  Dayna Roselli: I know, I do too.
• 15:06
  Dayna Roselli: I I'm telling you, some of those images I see online, I'm like, this is cool, really cool.
• 15:11
  Dayna Roselli: So glad to hear it.
• 15:12
  Dayna Roselli: Um, also at the Venetian, like we had mentioned, we went over to see Jason DeRulo and um he just kicked off a new show at Voltaire.
• 15:20
  Dayna Roselli: He's gonna be there all summer.
• 15:21
  Dayna Roselli: He's got dates in June, July, August.
• 15:24
  Dayna Roselli: Jason is doing a really intimate show because he's used to doing arenas and stuff.
• 15:29
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, he just got off uh an international arena tour and then came back to the States, came back home, put together this show specifically designed for Voltaire.
• 15:42
  Sean McAllister: It's unlike any other shows that that he has done in his professional career.
• 15:48
  Sean McAllister: And when we went over and and talked to him, he said he's really excited about this.
• 16:01
  Dayna Roselli: Thank you very much.
• 16:02
  Dayna Roselli: This is like your first residency here.
• 16:04
  Dayna Roselli: Um the timing's right, it feels good.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, it feels incredible.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_01: Um it's unbelievable.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_01: It's a lot of hours.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_01: Um but it's it's super fun.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_01: There's nothing like uh creating something from nothing and um you know walking into this room.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_01: You know, usually you start a show from from zero, but I feel like I was starting the show from 75.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_01: The room is just so beautiful and the room is alive, you know.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_01: So I wanted to have this 360 perspective because everywhere you turn in this in this place is beautiful.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_01: So I wanted to utilize every inch.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_01: Um so uh there's a lot of moving parts, but we are literally crawling with you on these couches and on these bars and everywhere.
• 16:48
  Sean McAllister: And obviously, you're developing your own show with your own spin on things, but are there headliners from Vegas past that you're pulling from?
• 16:57
  Sean McAllister: Because this is kind of an iconic moment.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_01: Um, yes.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_01: I I think, you know, to put to put a show on like this, I mean, it's impossible not to uh utilize the essence of Vegas.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I think it was important for me to um, you know, dive into the culture of what Vegas has always been, uh, and then also add my new spice.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_01: Um because at one point I I felt like I was like, am I going a little to Vegas?
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_01: Um I had to dump it back a little bit because I want to make sure that I'm bringing Jason DeRula to Vegas, but at the same time creating uh a totally different experience that people have never seen from me.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_01: So even if you've seen me before, this is an entirely uh different way to see me.
• 17:44
  Dayna Roselli: And this is such an intimate room, first of all.
• 17:46
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, that's gotta be a little different for you.
• 17:47
  Dayna Roselli: You just got off an arena tour.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_01: Um, yeah, so an arena tour is, you know, 15,000, 20,000 people, and this is a totally different kind of experience.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_01: So I wanted I wanted to make sure that it felt different as well.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not gonna bring an arena show uh in here because uh it's it's a it's a different experience, right?
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_01: So being that I can see everybody's faces and they can see mine, and I can literally touch so many people in the room, I want that to be a literal thing and and a uh uh you know uh something that that people would would go home with and be like, literally, Jason was like right there in my face, you know, and I have those special moments in my arena tour, but the entire show feels like that.
• 18:31
  Sean McAllister: Well, and given the fact that you are up close and personal with your audience and you can see people, um you don't want people walking in in shorts and flip-flops off the street, right?
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_00: Tell me, what do you want your audience to look like when they show up for this show?
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_00: You know what?
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, whatever you feel comfortable in, I'm I'm I'm personally good with.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but I think you should know the vibe that I'm going for so that you can kind of match.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_01: Um we're we're we're doing suits and ties, we're doing street wear as well.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_01: Um so like whatever you feel comfortable in.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want people to feel like, if I don't have like a suit, I'm not going.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_01: No, it's not like that.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_01: Um but it is a very it it it does feel like an upscale night.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_01: So what what whatever you feel like you look good in, I want you to feel good when you walk in.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_01: So whatever that is to you.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_01: But it's an occasion.

  Sean McAllister: And it is, it's a fun show.

• 25:56
  Sean McAllister: And you know what was so funny?
• 25:57
  Sean McAllister: When we were standing and we were setting up our video equipment, and um Dana was looking at one of the pictures on the wall, and she just kind of stopped in her tracks.
• 26:08
  Sean McAllister: And Dana, you looked at me, you were like, Wait a minute, like, is this picture moving or did I not drink enough water today?
• 26:16
  Dayna Roselli: I know it was moving.

  Dayna Roselli: So uh check it out, Bar Zazu.
• 27:10
  Dayna Roselli: We were like, we have to let people know about this.
• 27:12
  Dayna Roselli: It's really cool.
• 27:13
  Dayna Roselli: And sometimes, you know, places are are in a place that in a resort that maybe you you don't walk by all the time and you don't know they're there.
• 27:20
  Dayna Roselli: So FYI, we got you covered.
• 27:23
  Sean McAllister: We do.
• 27:24
  Sean McAllister: Hey, um, since you are podcast listeners, we wanted to let you know about another Las Vegas-based podcast that kind of dives into the CD history of our city.
• 27:39
  Sean McAllister: And we're letting you know about this because it is really interesting stuff.
• 27:44
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and and it's this has been launched by the Mob Museum, the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement that we have here in town, one of our very popular museums.
• 27:53
  Dayna Roselli: It's a great place, by the way.
• 27:55
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but they have launched a podcast, it's all original, it's called Inside the Life, and you can stream it across all the platforms.
• 28:02
  Dayna Roselli: It's hosted by former elite undercover agents.
• 28:07
  Dayna Roselli: And a bunch of the episodes, few episodes, I think, are already up and posted.
• 28:12
  Dayna Roselli: And so, anyway, they delve into a lot of interesting topics.
• 28:16
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and kind of take you through the the dangerous world of undercover work that these guys have done, and they bring on guests who you know can offer even more color and stories and insights into what it's like to uncover the underworld of organized crime.
• 28:36
  Dayna Roselli: I can only imagine it's really interesting.
• 28:39
  Dayna Roselli: I just actually subscribed, so I'm gonna start listening, but I look forward to this.
• 28:42
  Sean McAllister: I mean, that stuff is fascinating, and you know, when you consider the fact that organized crime and the mob really were instrumental in turning Las Vegas into what it has become today.
• 28:58
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 28:58
  Sean McAllister: I mean, it's an important part of our city's history.
• 29:03
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 29:03
  Dayna Roselli: And we learned a lot when we went over to the El Cortez recently, too.
• 29:06
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 29:07
  Dayna Roselli: You know, about just you know, like the the Fremont bought the bosses of Fremont, you know, the because downtown was the original Las Vegas.
• 29:15
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 29:15
  Dayna Roselli: You know, the strip was came later.
• 29:17
  Sean McAllister: Bugsy Siegel started the El Cortez.
• 29:20
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 29:20
  Dayna Roselli: So so interesting, right?
• 29:21
  Dayna Roselli: There's just so much history here.
• 29:23
  Dayna Roselli: I we recommend that too.
• 29:24
  Dayna Roselli: Like if you get a moment and you come into town and you're visiting, like go do some of this stuff.
• 29:29
  Dayna Roselli: Take a day, go around to some of the old spots, hit the mob museum, go to the old hotels.
• 29:34
  Dayna Roselli: There's a lot of things, things on the walls.
• 29:36
  Dayna Roselli: There's a lot, there are a lot of people that work at these places that will talk to you and tell you stories.
• 29:40
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 29:41
  Sean McAllister: Also, over at the Springs Preserve, which also has like a Nevada State Museum kind of over on the same grounds, but the Springs Preserve has recreated like the original uh Main Street of Las Vegas, the old train depot, the original saloons, uh, the the cottages that the railway workers lived in.
• 30:07
  Sean McAllister: They have a couple of the original cottages that have been rebuilt and constructed over there.
• 30:13
  Sean McAllister: But I say that because it does give you you can walk through what Las Vegas used to look like.
• 30:21
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that's cool.
• 30:22
  Dayna Roselli: I love that.
• 30:22
  Dayna Roselli: We do have a lot of places.
• 30:23
  Dayna Roselli: You just gotta, you know, uh take the time to do it.
• 30:26
  Dayna Roselli: Because I know people get excited, they come to Vegas, they want to hit the slot machines, they want to go out.
• 30:30
  Dayna Roselli: But if you take the time to do, like I said, set it set a day or two aside to do some of the stuff, I I don't think you'll regret it.
• 30:36
  Sean McAllister: No, not at all.
• 30:37
  Dayna Roselli: Um, speaking of the live machine, the live machine.
