  Dayna Roselli: Hey, we were gonna start off the podcast announcing the lineup of the Neon City Festival happening in downtown Las Vegas in November.
• 2:33
  Dayna Roselli: The best part about this festival, it's new and it's free.
• 2:36
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and we're gonna do that still, but there's been a little change to the lineup today.
• 2:41
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, we just got word that uh McLamore is out, he's been dropped from the the lineup at Neon City Festival.
• 2:49
  Sean McAllister: Um, and this comes after a whole bunch of controversy from a recent concert.
• 2:54
  Sean McAllister: He made some remarks on stage that have been making headlines.
• 2:58
  Sean McAllister: You can look that up.
• 2:59
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, but amid all that controversy, we get news that he is no longer a part of the lineup.
• 3:04
  Sean McAllister: Um, but the the artists who are a part of the lineup, we have Neon Trees set to perform, Russell Dickerson, who's a country artist, we know well here in Las Vegas.
• 3:15
  Sean McAllister: Also, uh Alison Wonderland is set to perform, and there are others among the lineup as well.
• 3:21
  Dayna Roselli: And Seven Lions.
• 3:23
  Dayna Roselli: And I think they said in the statement um when they announced that Mac Lamar wasn't gonna be part of the festival anymore, that they plan on it sounds like replacing him.
• 3:33
  Dayna Roselli: And they're gonna put out a, you know, obviously a new lineup or add more as the days and weeks go on.
• 3:40
  Sean McAllister: But yeah, this is that uh free first of its kind music, art, and culinary festival that coincides with Formula One race weekend here in Las Vegas.
• 3:52
  Sean McAllister: So the race is taking over the Las Vegas Strip as it did last year.
• 3:56
  Sean McAllister: Um, but this Neon City Festival is taking over downtown Las Vegas with a bunch of venues taking part.
• 4:03
  Sean McAllister: So um that's all happening November 22nd through the 24th.
• 4:08
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and it'll be fun.
• 4:09
  Dayna Roselli: You know, festivals are fun, even if you just like to go and you know, if if there's not an act you want to see on stage, it's still fun to go.
• 4:16
  Dayna Roselli: There's gonna be, you know, local food and beverage vendors, art shows, fireworks, uh, additional music talent, like you said, with different genres added to the list.
• 4:24
  Dayna Roselli: So sounds like it'll be a good time.
• 4:26
  Dayna Roselli: And the best part, Sean, is it is free.
• 4:29
  Sean McAllister: Free.
• 4:29
  Sean McAllister: We absolutely love that.
• 4:31
  Sean McAllister: Hey, uh, sticking with music festivals, the iHeartRadio Music Festival uh was just held here in Las Vegas last week.
• 4:39
  Sean McAllister: Um, and we popped over there.
• 4:41
  Sean McAllister: This is a two-day festival that happens every single year.
• 4:44
  Sean McAllister: This was the 14th year that the iHeartRadio Music Festival has been held here in Las Vegas, which is kind of crazy because I remember going to year one.
• 4:53
  Dayna Roselli: I know, and I'm trying to think.
• 4:54
  Dayna Roselli: Now it's in T Mobile Arena, that's where we were, but where was it before?
• 4:58
  Sean McAllister: It was at uh MGM Grant.
• 5:00
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, right.
• 5:00
  Sean McAllister: I mean, I remember being backstage to do interviews and all that stuff, and all the artists would just be roaming around in the hallways backstage.
• 5:08
  Sean McAllister: And uh there was one year when Floyd Mayweather was back there with his whole crew, and they had had somebody go out and just order a whole bunch of McDonald's.
• 5:18
  Sean McAllister: So there were chicken nuggets just everywhere, little boxes of chicken nuggets all over the hallway.
• 5:24
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I mean it's it's a great lineup usually and a great variety, and that's what makes it kind of cool.
• 5:29
  Dayna Roselli: Um, you know, we went uh you went both nights.
• 5:32
  Dayna Roselli: I went one night.
• 5:33
  Dayna Roselli: Um, the first night we got to see Gwen Stefani perform.
• 5:37
  Sean McAllister: Who was great?
• 5:37
  Dayna Roselli: Uh she was great, and it's never enough, I feel like, at iHeart though.
• 5:40
  Dayna Roselli: That's the one thing.
• 5:41
  Dayna Roselli: It's like they do three songs and then they move on to a different artist and a set change, and I'm always like, ah, you're just getting into it.
• 5:49
  Dayna Roselli: But uh Paramour.
• 5:51
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, Paramour Dua Lipa was the big headliner that night.
• 5:55
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, the Black Crows.

• 6:01
  Dayna Roselli: ASAP Rocky was a no-show.
• 6:03
  Sean McAllister: Well, oh ASAP.

• 6:35
  Sean McAllister: They're hanging tough, let me tell you.
• 6:38
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, new kids.
• 6:39
  Dayna Roselli: So let's transition right into that.

  Dayna Roselli: New kids on the block.
• 6:42
  Dayna Roselli: You know, they have performed in Las Vegas many times uh with the mixtape tour.
• 6:46
  Dayna Roselli: A lot of them have done some solo stuff.

• 6:57
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, Jordan Knight has had solo shows.
• 7:00
  Dayna Roselli: I've seen him at Mandalay Bay, I think it was House of Blues, interviewed him.
• 7:04
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, so they have had their stuff here, the right stuff before, but now they're coming in with a residency show over at Park MGM.
• 7:14
  Dayna Roselli: They announced this.
• 7:15
  Dayna Roselli: It's not till 2025, though.

  Sean McAllister: So you've got some time.
• 7:31
  Sean McAllister: If you're a new kids fan, you've got time to block out your Vegas trip, your your your concert uh festivities.
• 7:40
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 7:40
  Sean McAllister: You've got time to plan for it.
• 7:42
  Sean McAllister: Um, but it's 16 shows initially.
• 7:44
  Sean McAllister: I have a feeling uh over at Dolby Live at Park MGM, I have a feeling that they'll be uh extending beyond, well beyond 16 shows.
• 7:53
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it's gonna be great to see them in this theater.
• 7:55
  Dayna Roselli: I've only seen them, well, when they're all together in arenas.
• 7:59
  Dayna Roselli: So this is gonna be a really great, I feel like intimate experience.
• 8:03
  Dayna Roselli: I can't wait to see what they do with the show.
• 8:06
  Dayna Roselli: Now, I've seen them many times because I'm a I'm a fan.
• 8:08
  Dayna Roselli: Sean, was that the first time you've seen them perform at iHeart?
• 8:12
  Sean McAllister: Oh gosh.
• 8:14
  Sean McAllister: Uh I feel like I remember seen I feel like I've seen new kids at some point along the line, but in recent memory, yes.
• 8:24
  Sean McAllister: This is the first time I've seen them.
• 8:26
  Sean McAllister: Is I think since their comeback as adults.
• 8:29
  Dayna Roselli: Got it.
• 8:30
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 8:30
  Dayna Roselli: Um, yeah, I actually never saw them live when when I was a fan when I was younger.
• 8:34
  Dayna Roselli: I could never, I don't know, I just didn't go to the concert or couldn't get tickets or wasn't allowed or whatever the heck it was.
• 8:40
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but um what did you think?
• 8:42
  Dayna Roselli: Because I told you, um, I think I've gone a couple times and you go you were saying like it wasn't necessarily your generation timeline.
• 8:50
  Dayna Roselli: You and I have a little bit of an age difference.
• 8:51
  Dayna Roselli: So, but but I was like, but they put on such a great show.
• 8:54
  Dayna Roselli: Didn't you think they were good?
• 8:56
  Sean McAllister: I thought they were fantastic.
• 8:58
  Sean McAllister: And they got that crowd pumped up.
• 9:01
  Sean McAllister: They did their uh classic songs that you want to hear new kids sing.
• 9:07
  Sean McAllister: I think they dropped uh uh a new single in there in the mix as well.
• 9:13
  Sean McAllister: But I mean they were down in the audience moving around, they were up close and personal with fans, and uh the band actually spoke backstage at iHeart and talked about having a residency here too.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_00: We think it's it's gonna give our diehard and incredibly loyal fans from decades a chance to come see us, and it's gonna give people who might be just passing through Vegas and want to see a great show uh a chance to see us.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_00: And that's kind of what tonight was.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_00: It was a small sample uh for the audience for us of the residency.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_00: It was a lot of our fans and a lot of people who don't know us, and by the response tonight, I'd say uh we're heading in the right direction.
• 9:53
  Sean McAllister: So they are.
• 9:54
  Sean McAllister: If if iHeart is any indication of how fans are going to respond, uh both fans, you know, old and new, I think that they've got a smash hit on their hands.
• 10:06
  Dayna Roselli: The blockheads are gonna be out in full force, and they do it's a wild show.
• 10:11
  Dayna Roselli: They are so much fun.

• 10:47
  Sean McAllister: People were up dancing in the aisles on their feet, singing along the whole time.
• 10:53
  Sean McAllister: Uh, this time Pitbull is going to be over at Fountain Blue.

  Sean McAllister: Those are classic songs.

  Sean McAllister: I mean, it's just stuff that I heard on the radio.

  Sean McAllister: My parents would listen to that CCR on the radio when I was growing up.

• 12:38
  Dayna Roselli: And they start at$69.95 plus fees, so not bad.
• 12:41
  Dayna Roselli: It's definitely worth it to see such an icon like John Fogarty.
• 12:44
  Sean McAllister: It is, and you'll sing along to those songs as well.
• 12:49
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, we went over to the Raiders home opener, and we had so much fun because we first went to the Raiders pregame masquerade tailgate, and this is put on by Confirmed360.
• 13:01
  Dayna Roselli: What a blast! When we walked in there, I was like, wow, there was like a pirate ship and Raiders characters.
• 13:07
  Dayna Roselli: Warren G hopped on the pirate ship and started singing his famous songs.
• 13:11
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, we were like, Oh, wait a second.
• 13:13
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, that's Warren G.
• 13:15
  Dayna Roselli: It was so fun.
• 13:18
  Dayna Roselli: They have food and drink, and um, it's a whole experience.
• 13:22
  Dayna Roselli: So I guess regular entries,$299, but it starts at nine in the morning and goes till 12 30 p.m.
• 13:29
  Dayna Roselli: So a long chunk of time.
• 13:31
  Dayna Roselli: There's food, there's drink, all of that.
• 13:33
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 13:33
  Sean McAllister: And so that would that 9 a.m.
• 13:35
  Sean McAllister: start time.
• 13:36
  Sean McAllister: Uh, we had a 105 kickoff for the uh football game.
• 13:41
  Sean McAllister: So it's what five hours?
• 13:43
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 13:44
  Sean McAllister: Probably five hours before the game is when the tailgate opens up, depending on if there's a night game or whatever.
• 13:49
  Sean McAllister: Um, but$2.99 for entry into the tailgate, all the food and beverage, uh, plus entertainment, uh, they've got shaded areas in the general admission area where you can stand under these shade structures and they've got the high boy table.
• 14:06
  Sean McAllister: So, you know, it's a it's a comfortable environment.
• 14:09
  Sean McAllister: But then if you want to go to the ultra-luxury end of the tailgate, they have these double decker VIP cabana trailers that go for$20,000, but you can bring up to 25 friends with you.
• 14:28
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 14:29
  Dayna Roselli: So unlimited food and drink, you're sitting in there in style, they're air conditioned.
• 14:33
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 14:34
  Dayna Roselli: And then you can climb up top and get a view.
• 14:36
  Sean McAllister: And there was a TV in there, so you can watch all the football action that's currently going on as you gear up to to head inside Allegiant Stadium.
• 14:44
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 14:44
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it's uh yeah, four luxurious VIP suites on property.
• 14:49
  Dayna Roselli: So, I mean, there's an experience for everyone.
• 14:51
  Dayna Roselli: And if you are a diehard Raiders fan or you've got a big group going, or you know, this could be like a really like thing for corporations and businesses.
• 14:59
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, so you know, rent it out, bring 25 of their people, people they want to schmooze, or you know, co-workers, that kind of thing.
• 15:07
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and then 350 tickets are only uh are available per game for the regular.
• 15:12
  Dayna Roselli: So it's limited, so it doesn't get too crowded either, which is nice.
• 15:16
  Sean McAllister: And it never it was sold out uh when we were over there, and it never felt like we were crammed in like sardines.
• 15:24
  Sean McAllister: No, they did a good job of of spacing things out, but a great option if you're looking for uh an already prepared tailgate that you just roll up to.
• 15:34
  Sean McAllister: The food was delicious too, by the way.
• 15:36
  Dayna Roselli: That breakfast burrito was good.
• 15:37
  Sean McAllister: And they had Ruben sliders, yeah, meatball sliders, there were tacos.
• 15:42
  Sean McAllister: It was it was there was good stuff.
• 15:44
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, Sean, we said$2.99 to get in, but that's for Kansas City, Pittsburgh, and Atlanta, those games.
• 15:53
  Dayna Roselli: And it's actually$199 for other games.
• 15:56
  Sean McAllister: So I don't know, more expensive, I guess, because those teams are more popular or yeah, I think those are definitely in-demand games, so that makes sense.
• 16:03
  Sean McAllister: But oh my gosh, I thought$2.99 was already a good deal, but then some games are$199.
• 16:10
  Sean McAllister: That's amazing.
• 16:11
  Dayna Roselli: It really is.
• 16:12
  Dayna Roselli: Do you think we can get Taylor Swift on the pirate ship for the Kansas City games?
• 16:16
  Sean McAllister: I would love that.
• 16:17
  Dayna Roselli: Oh no, because I guess it's a Raiders tailgate.
• 16:19
  Sean McAllister: Oh, true.
• 16:20
  Sean McAllister: But hey, we can be a welcoming crowd.
