  Sean McAllister: And you know, Dana, uh this is the time of year when things start to get exciting.
• 1:49
  Sean McAllister: Because I know that my email has been filling up with everything about fantasy football, which means that real football is starting, and that's a big deal here.
• 1:57
  Dayna Roselli: It is, not only because we love football, but because the weather starts to cool down to that perfect 90 degrees.
• 2:03
  Sean McAllister: It does, it does.
• 2:05
  Sean McAllister: And uh next week on Vegas Reveal, just a programming note, we're gonna be going over some of the best places to watch football, a lot of great fall entertainment.

  Sean McAllister: So that's coming up next week here on Vegas Reveal.
• 2:18
  Sean McAllister: But this week we got a full roster.
• 2:20
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, we do.
• 2:21
  Dayna Roselli: And like you said, you know, football season is upon us.
• 2:23
  Dayna Roselli: I know you're doing some fantasy football stuff this week, right?
• 2:25
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, yep.
• 2:26
  Dayna Roselli: So how does that work?
• 2:27
  Dayna Roselli: You meet, you pick the team, what goes on?
• 2:29
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, meet, pick the team, have some food and drink.
• 2:32
  Sean McAllister: Lots of good times.
• 2:34
  Dayna Roselli: Now, do you plan ahead of who you want on your team, or is it like you guys like fight for it?
• 2:39
  Dayna Roselli: Is that what you do?
• 2:40
  Sean McAllister: Well, you plan as best you can, okay, but then you're usually assigned uh a picking order uh when once you arrive at the draft.
• 2:52
  Sean McAllister: Okay.
• 2:53
  Sean McAllister: Uh, and that can like throw your whole plan out of whack.
• 2:56
  Sean McAllister: It all depends on who other people want.
• 2:58
  Sean McAllister: If you have a player on your team that's really like highly valued and a lot of people are going for them, then it's a fight.
• 3:05
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 3:06
  Sean McAllister: But um there is strategy going into it, yes.
• 3:10
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 3:10
  Dayna Roselli: Well, listen, preseason has been great for the Raiders.
• 3:12
  Dayna Roselli: We're what, three and oh?
• 3:14
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I think so.
• 3:15
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so it's been great.
• 3:17
  Dayna Roselli: And the home game that we had here at the stadium was on fire.
• 3:20
  Dayna Roselli: We talked about that before.
• 3:21
  Dayna Roselli: I know a lot of people actually around the country commenting about that when they were watching the game on TV.
• 3:26
  Dayna Roselli: Um, something else that has been happening, actually, let's see, because I always forget when we record this, when it airs.
• 3:33
  Dayna Roselli: Well, anyway, recently you and I were at Resorts World, and something that was happening uh there was called Psycho Vegas, Psycho Las Vegas.
• 3:42
  Dayna Roselli: And it was packed.
• 3:44
  Dayna Roselli: You and I were at Resorts World, and in our tips coming up, we're gonna tell you about a margarita that we found there that we love.
• 3:51
  Dayna Roselli: But let's just talk about when we walked in, how we were like, what is going on?
• 3:55
  Dayna Roselli: Then the people we met were like, What is going on?
• 3:58
  Dayna Roselli: And then someone else that joined us was like, What is going on?
• 4:01
  Dayna Roselli: And we were all like, What is going on?
• 4:03
  Dayna Roselli: But it was Psycho Vegas.
• 4:04
  Sean McAllister: It was.
• 4:05
  Sean McAllister: So this is a four-day, three-night music festival.
• 4:08
  Sean McAllister: They had over 130 bands playing at different venues around Resorts World, and it brought in a crap load of people.
• 4:18
  Sean McAllister: When we listen, when we tell you we walked into Resorts World and we're like, where are we?
• 4:24
  Sean McAllister: What is going on here?
• 4:26
  Sean McAllister: Like it was packed with people.
• 4:28
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 4:28
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm not gonna even call this a stereotype.
• 4:31
  Dayna Roselli: I'm just gonna say it, everyone was in black and black t-shirts.
• 4:33
  Dayna Roselli: And yeah, yeah.
• 4:34
  Sean McAllister: It was kind of like a punk festival.
• 4:36
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 4:36
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 4:37
  Dayna Roselli: So we were like, there's gotta be something like rock and roll going on, something related to that.
• 4:41
  Dayna Roselli: And so then finally we hit Google in our press releases, and we were like, oh yeah, I totally forgot.
• 4:46
  Dayna Roselli: It's this weekend.
• 4:47
  Dayna Roselli: So it was three days, four nights, like you said, 130 bands from around the world, uh, Merciful Fate, Method Man, Tobacco, a lot of bands I've never heard of.
• 4:58
  Dayna Roselli: Emperor.
• 4:59
  Dayna Roselli: And apparently it brought them out.
• 5:01
  Dayna Roselli: So love to see that.
• 5:02
  Dayna Roselli: It was a Sunday night, and you and I were going, man, what I I feel we felt like it was busier on that night than we had actually ever seen it, like even on a weekend.
• 5:12
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 5:12
  Sean McAllister: So I think the the closest thing that I had seen to it was the opening night of Resorts World with that many people just jam-packed into that property.
• 5:22
  Sean McAllister: It was a good sight to see.
• 5:24
  Sean McAllister: Um it seems like it was a great event that obviously drew in a ton of people, very well attended.
• 5:32
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 5:32
  Sean McAllister: Um, so who knows?
• 5:33
  Sean McAllister: Maybe that's gonna end up being uh an annual thing at Resorts World now.
• 5:37
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I'm glad that it went off without a hitch and people seem to like it, like you said.
• 5:41
  Dayna Roselli: So they even had like a scavenger hunt and stuff and like tournament level gaming, all sorts of stuff, activation.
• 5:46
  Dayna Roselli: So hopefully Psycho Las Vegas will return to Las Vegas again next year.
• 5:50
  Sean McAllister: Yes.
• 5:51
  Sean McAllister: Somewhere else that uh we just popped into over the last few days, we went to Wakuda, which is kind of a Japanese grill over at uh the palazzo.
• 6:04
  Sean McAllister: And it was first of all, just walking in, it's so visual and vibrant.
• 6:10
  Dayna Roselli: It was beautiful.
• 6:11
  Dayna Roselli: And you and I couldn't make the opening, so we knew we wanted to get over there eventually because there was a lot of buzz about this restaurant, and it's right across from Lavo at the Palazzo, right near the front desk, really.
• 6:21
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that ends up.
• 6:22
  Sean McAllister: Right in that big atrium area.
• 6:23
  Dayna Roselli: And what used to be there?
• 6:24
  Dayna Roselli: We were just discussing.
• 6:25
  Sean McAllister: Uh, that was Morel's.
• 6:26
  Sean McAllister: That's right.
• 6:27
  Sean McAllister: Morel's steakhouse.
• 6:28
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, they totally redid it.
• 6:30
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, we were like, we need to go in there, at least um grab some food items, have some drinks.
• 6:34
  Dayna Roselli: And so we did that, and we sat into the in the lounge part, not the main restaurant, and it was gorgeous.
• 6:40
  Sean McAllister: It was.
• 6:41
  Dayna Roselli: And they have a patio, and then we walked into the restaurant part to look at that.
• 6:45
  Dayna Roselli: That was great, and it was busy too.
• 6:47
  Dayna Roselli: And that again was like a Tuesday night.
• 6:49
  Dayna Roselli: So, I mean, we were shocked to see how you know busy it was.
• 6:53
  Dayna Roselli: We had some sushi, which was great.
• 6:55
  Dayna Roselli: What do we have?
• 6:56
  Dayna Roselli: That crab, crab kind of a sushi was it was like stuffed with crab or made with crab, and it was coming out.
• 7:02
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, look at our picture on Twitter.
• 7:04
  Sean McAllister: Oh, that was a soft shell crab that roll.
• 7:07
  Sean McAllister: Yes.
• 7:08
  Dayna Roselli: See?
• 7:09
  Dayna Roselli: I knew you'd have the answer.
• 7:10
  Dayna Roselli: You were looking at me like, yeah.
• 7:12
  Sean McAllister: I was going through my Rolodex of memories, and I just couldn't get there super quick.
• 7:16
  Sean McAllister: I know, but it took a minute.
• 7:17
  Dayna Roselli: We had a lot of food that night too.
• 7:19
  Dayna Roselli: We kept going, well, now we should try this.
• 7:20
  Dayna Roselli: Now we should try that.
• 7:21
  Dayna Roselli: Isn't that always the way?
• 7:22
  Dayna Roselli: You're like, oh, we're just gonna have a little snack.
• 7:24
  Sean McAllister: Uh-huh.
• 7:25
  Dayna Roselli: But then when the snacks pile up, you're like more full than you were if you were just to sit down and have dinner.
• 7:31
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it was.
• 7:32
  Sean McAllister: I mean, the the um Canadian lobster was delicious.
• 7:36
  Sean McAllister: Yes, that was really good.
• 7:37
  Dayna Roselli: They had a lot of vegetarian options too.
• 7:40
  Dayna Roselli: Our friend was with us who is vegetarian, and she was ordering some separate things, and it was a great menu.
• 7:46
  Dayna Roselli: The cocktails were really good.
• 7:48
  Dayna Roselli: The weight staff was very helpful as well.
• 7:51
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but if you want some cool pictures too, go to Wakuda.
• 7:54
  Dayna Roselli: They've got some really, really pretty decor, lots of art on the wall, and we have a video on our Instagram that you can go check out at Vegas Revealed.
• 8:04
  Sean McAllister: Well, kind of switching from Japanese food to country music, Dana, one of your buddies who you've known for years and who puts on a great show, um, you just sat down with him again, Sam Riddle.
• 8:18
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I filled in over at KTNV on the morning blend, and Sam had written me a direct message and said on Twitter and said, Hey, I've got this, you know, benefit concert coming up.
• 8:26
  Dayna Roselli: Could I come on and talk about it?
• 8:28
  Dayna Roselli: I said, Well, matter of fact, I'm doing this show, so come on.
• 8:30
  Dayna Roselli: And Sam is great.
• 8:32
  Dayna Roselli: Sam, I have seen open for many acts and also do his own concerts or benefit concerts in the past.
• 8:38
  Dayna Roselli: Great performer, tons of energy.
• 8:40
  Dayna Roselli: He really brings the house down.
• 8:42
  Dayna Roselli: And I was telling him, even on the show, I can't remember exactly who I went to see.
• 8:47
  Dayna Roselli: And he opened for them.
• 8:49
  Dayna Roselli: And it was like he was way better, and I'm just this, my personal opinion, way better than the actual main act because of the energy that he brought.
• 8:57
  Dayna Roselli: So um, Sam is having a benefit concert over at The Space, which is a great spot just off the strip here in Las Vegas.
• 9:05
  Dayna Roselli: They do a lot of different events there.
• 9:07
  Dayna Roselli: Monday's Dark, a lot of performers, a lot of Broadway performers come and do, you know, more intimate shows there through the years.
• 9:14
  Dayna Roselli: Sam's doing a benefit concert there, and it is on September 3rd at 8 p.m.
• 9:19
  Dayna Roselli: And it's also National Tailgating Day.
• 9:22
  Dayna Roselli: So there's actually a free tailgate that starts at 5 p.m.
• 9:25
  Sean McAllister: Oh.
• 9:26
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 9:27
  Dayna Roselli: And he's got a new EP out.
• 9:29
  Dayna Roselli: So we talked about that too.
• 9:30
  Dayna Roselli: So he's constantly keeping up on new music, which I love.
• 9:35
  Dayna Roselli: And um, I wanted to tell you who it benefits.
• 9:37
  Dayna Roselli: It benefits the Vegas Strong Charitable Foundation.
• 9:40
  Dayna Roselli: If you go to see Sam.
• 9:42
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 9:42
  Dayna Roselli: I like that.
• 9:43
  Dayna Roselli: 8 p.m.
• 9:44
  Dayna Roselli: on September 3rd.
• 9:44
  Sean McAllister: And Sam has been around here in Las Vegas for years.
• 9:48
  Sean McAllister: I mean, obviously a big country career, you know, that goes through Nashville, but he's kind of made Las Vegas his home.
• 9:56
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, he said, you know what, he prefers being here.
• 9:58
  Dayna Roselli: And his music, it's country, but a little, you know, he's a little rock and roll too.
• 10:02
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 10:03
  Dayna Roselli: Wouldn't Daniel Marie would say that, right?
• 10:05
  Dayna Roselli: A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll.
• 10:08
  Dayna Roselli: But no, Sam, yeah, he so I feel like I get why, you know, he's kind of back and forth and doesn't kind of plant his roots there in Nashville.
• 10:15
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, he loves it.
• 10:16
  Dayna Roselli: And he says, you know, De Vegas is the place for him, and he really has a soft spot for the community and always doing good.
• 10:23
  Dayna Roselli: So kudos to Sam Riddle.
• 10:24
  Dayna Roselli: Look him up.
• 10:25
  Dayna Roselli: He's got some great music.
• 10:26
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 10:27
  Sean McAllister: Um, you know, after the actually during the pandemic and after, we kept talking about how uh like visitor traffic was going to rebound, but the big question was how convention business was going to rebound here in Las Vegas.
• 10:44
  Sean McAllister: Fortunately, it seems like convention calendars are starting to be more full again.
• 10:50
  Sean McAllister: Yes.
• 10:50
  Sean McAllister: I know some people have gone to like kind of virtual things, they've tested the virtual stuff.
• 10:54
  Sean McAllister: They're like, you know what?
• 10:56
  Sean McAllister: We'll keep going with this.
• 10:57
  Sean McAllister: But a lot of people are also saying that you you really miss out on a lot of in-person connection when you do things that way.
• 11:05
  Sean McAllister: The good thing is that Las Vegas is doubling down on conventions.
• 11:10
  Sean McAllister: Uh, there's a big convention space over at Caesars that opened within the past couple years.
• 11:16
  Sean McAllister: MGM built new convention space.
• 11:18
  Sean McAllister: And now uh Circa in downtown Las Vegas is opening a huge convention space of their own.
• 11:25
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I'm excited about this because I feel like there, I mean, there's there are places to have conventions downtown, but not tons of places.
• 11:33
  Dayna Roselli: So I think an additional hotel that will offer that only is going to bring in more business and it'll be a great place.
• 11:40
  Dayna Roselli: Circa will be a great host for conventions, I think.
• 11:43
  Dayna Roselli: Um, you and I were invited to an event that we can't make, so we are kind of bummed about it where they're gonna unveil, but I'm sure we'll have lots of pictures and videos and stuff that we can put up.
• 11:51
  Dayna Roselli: But um, you know, they're having activations and things like that.
• 11:54
  Dayna Roselli: But Circa, you know, known for being a 21 and over resort.
• 11:59
  Dayna Roselli: Um, they are known for Stadium Swim, their incredible sports book.
• 12:03
  Dayna Roselli: They've got some great restaurants in there, Barry's Prime.
• 12:06
  Dayna Roselli: So now to have convention space add to that, it's gonna be great.
• 12:09
  Sean McAllister: Well, and Derek Stevens owns other properties down on Fremont Street.
• 12:15
  Sean McAllister: He owns the D, the Golden Gate.
• 12:17
  Sean McAllister: So presumably, you know, when they bring convention business in at Circa, they'll they should be able to offer some great uh hotel rates too.
• 12:28
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, some great package deals.
• 12:30
  Dayna Roselli: And it's a good way to showcase a new property, right?
• 12:33
  Dayna Roselli: I have so many friends that have come into town that come in regularly and they say, Oh, what's circa like?
• 12:38
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm like, how could you have not, you know, because we live here, you haven't been to Circa yet, or you haven't been to Resorts World yet.
• 12:42
  Dayna Roselli: But I think, you know, people who haven't, right?
• 12:45
  Dayna Roselli: It'll bring them in, recommend it to others, get people to keep coming back.
• 12:49
  Dayna Roselli: So really wise for them to open a convention area.
• 12:52
  Dayna Roselli: I think it's gonna be great.
• 12:53
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it is.
• 12:54
  Sean McAllister: It's smart, it's smart, and we'll need to make sure that we get over there and and see it in person at some point, since unfortunately we can't make it to the big grand opening.
• 13:04
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 13:04
  Dayna Roselli: Well, and it's interesting because uh we have a mutual friend who went down to the Golden Gate with his kids, and he wanted to just check it out because he heard it was one, you know, the oldest hotel in downtown and stuff.
• 13:15
  Dayna Roselli: And and they I don't want to say got kicked out.
• 13:18
  Dayna Roselli: I'm using the wrong word, not like kicked to the curb, but just got asked to leave because kids are not allowed in the Golden Gate either.
• 13:24
  Dayna Roselli: You have to be 21 and over.
• 13:25
  Dayna Roselli: And the same, I don't know, is it the same thing with the D now?
• 13:28
  Dayna Roselli: But but you know, the Golden Gate is another one of Derek Stevens' properties, so I know he's making his properties, you know, adult only.
• 13:34
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I think it's kind of a growing trend down on Fremont Street because I believe the El Cortez also went 21 and over.
• 13:44
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 13:44
  Sean McAllister: So there are a handful of places down there that are just for adults.
• 13:49
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 13:49
  Dayna Roselli: So I I I forgot about that, and I forgot that he had, you know, owned the Golden Gate and put that rule into place there too.
• 13:56
  Dayna Roselli: So a little reminder if you're going downtown.
• 13:58
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but speaking of that, a lot of things are changing, even on Fremont Street, and I know we looked into this a little bit more.
• 14:04
  Dayna Roselli: We talked in the past about how uh they were kind of discussing if Fremont Street should go 21 and over after a certain time or on the weekends.
• 14:13
  Dayna Roselli: And um it was on the table and being discussed.
• 14:17
  Dayna Roselli: There was nothing we didn't think ever decided, but then all of a sudden, like literally the following weekend, we're seeing tweets and people sending us text messages saying, hey, look at this sign.
• 14:28
  Dayna Roselli: Fremont is now like 21 and over after I think nine o'clock, and it was like a Friday night or something.
• 14:32
  Dayna Roselli: So we looked into it.
• 14:33
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 14:34
  Sean McAllister: And so apparently this issue did go in front of Las Vegas City Council, and they debated it, and it was essentially a decision on it was just tossed out.
• 14:44
  Sean McAllister: They were like, you know what, we're not gonna, this isn't an issue that we're going to deal with right now.
• 14:49
  Sean McAllister: But but the interesting thing is what the Fremont Street district did um as a venue, uh they went to the city and filed for a special permit to make age restrictions go into effect for an ongoing special event.
• 15:10
  Sean McAllister: So they got a permit for a special event that covers Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays every weekend from uh in July, early July when this started, and it goes through uh November 27th.
• 15:23
  Sean McAllister: Okay.
• 15:24
  Sean McAllister: So Thanksgiving weekend.
• 15:25
  Sean McAllister: Um, this permit covers uh this special event.
• 15:29
  Sean McAllister: Apparently, on the permit, it was uh the special event was called Festivis.
• 15:34
  Sean McAllister: Okay, which if you're a Seinfeld fan, you'll get the the reference there.
• 15:39
  Sean McAllister: Um but yeah, so this was just a workaround that is apparently allowed um you know for these special events.
• 15:49
  Sean McAllister: It's a music and entertainment event, is how the the permit labels every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday down at the Fremont Street Experience.
• 15:59
  Sean McAllister: So there was not official city action taken on it, but a permit was granted and makes sense.
• 16:05
  Sean McAllister: Now they can impl implement uh age restrictions.
• 16:08
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that answers our question, right?
• 16:09
  Dayna Roselli: Because we were like looking it up, going, well, what what I don't understand.
• 16:13
  Dayna Roselli: It hasn't been voted on yeah.
• 16:14
  Dayna Roselli: So, okay, so and um I see two different things.
• 16:17
  Dayna Roselli: One says 8 p.m.
• 16:18
  Dayna Roselli: and one says 9 p.m., but it starts around 8 or 9 p.m.
• 16:21
  Dayna Roselli: And you have to go through apparently a metal detector and get a bag check too for some of the entrances, and then you know, probably ID check.
• 16:29
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so you've got to be uh 21 and over to 5 a.m.
• 16:33
  Dayna Roselli: So all night long.
• 16:34
  Dayna Roselli: And apparently they have an increased law enforcement presence there on well, I can't speak today.
• 16:40
  Dayna Roselli: There will be also an increased law enforcement presence there on the weekends.
• 16:44
  Dayna Roselli: How about that?
• 16:45
  Sean McAllister: Now we got it.
• 16:45
  Sean McAllister: Got it.
• 16:46
  Sean McAllister: Now we got it.
• 16:46
  Sean McAllister: So yeah, just keep that in mind.
• 16:48
  Sean McAllister: If downtown Las Vegas is in your plans and you have younger people with you, they'll be left out.
• 16:57
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 17:00
  Dayna Roselli: But hopefully it's safer.
• 17:02
  Dayna Roselli: Um speaking of downtown, they've been having a lot of free concerts.
• 17:05
  Dayna Roselli: It's called the Downtown Rocks free concert series.
• 17:09
  Dayna Roselli: And I've been seeing a lot of people go to these.
• 17:11
  Dayna Roselli: They've had good bands, right?
• 17:13
  Sean McAllister: Like some nostalgic bands, too.
• 17:16
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 17:17
  Dayna Roselli: I love it.
• 17:17
  Dayna Roselli: And one that really we looked at the schedule and really kind of like piqued our interest.
• 17:22
  Dayna Roselli: We were like Stone Temple Pilots.
• 17:23
  Dayna Roselli: So Stone Temple Pilots are playing for free, you know, on Fremont Street.
• 17:28
  Dayna Roselli: And yes, they are.
• 17:29
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it's November 19th.
• 17:32
  Dayna Roselli: They are part of the Downtown Rocks free concert series.
• 17:35
  Dayna Roselli: They're Saturdays.
• 17:37
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, all these concerts.
• 17:38
  Dayna Roselli: This one is specifically November 19th.
• 17:40
  Dayna Roselli: Some of them start at 7, some of them start at 9.
• 17:43
  Dayna Roselli: So check the schedule.
• 17:44
  Dayna Roselli: But hey, you can go see Stone Temple Pilots.
• 17:46
  Dayna Roselli: And I don't know, maybe it's a big deal to us because we're like 90s kids.
• 17:49
  Sean McAllister: Of the era.
• 17:50
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 17:51
  Dayna Roselli: But um, I think that's a great show to be able to see free.
• 17:55
  Sean McAllister: It is.
• 17:55
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 17:56
  Sean McAllister: But again, keep in mind it does fall under that special event time zone period.
• 18:02
  Sean McAllister: So if you have kids who like Stone Temple Pilots, they can't come.
• 18:06
  Dayna Roselli: All right.
• 18:06
  Dayna Roselli: Wah wah wah.
• 18:08
  Dayna Roselli: I'll say it again.
• 18:08
  Dayna Roselli: I'm like the sound effect today.
• 18:10
  Dayna Roselli: All right, we got some good tips coming up, though.
• 18:12
  Dayna Roselli: Should we get to it?
• 18:13
  Sean McAllister: Let's do it.
• 18:18
  Sean McAllister: So, you know, Dana, I love a good margarita.
• 18:22
  Sean McAllister: But what always kills me is like that sour mix that's in there.
• 18:27
  Sean McAllister: It gives me the worst heartburn.
• 18:29
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 18:30
  Sean McAllister: And so I'm always regretting my decision to have margaritas later on in the night.
• 18:36
  Sean McAllister: But we found a place where it kind of takes away the heartache and heartburn of having margaritas.
• 18:42
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, you're like, it's the smoothest margarita we've ever had.
• 18:45
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it was light.
• 18:46
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, we met our friend over at Viva Inside Resorts Worlds, a restaurant by Ray Garcia.
• 18:53
  Dayna Roselli: And I think I've mentioned I went there one other time before.
• 18:56
  Dayna Roselli: However, I didn't have a margarita.
• 18:59
  Dayna Roselli: So this time they said, Hey, can we bring you some margaritas?
• 19:01
  Dayna Roselli: We said, sure.
• 19:02
  Dayna Roselli: So um, anyway, this also this restaurant, just so you know, is like a fresh take on Latin cooking.
• 19:08
  Dayna Roselli: So um they have lots of different dishes, but they brought out our margarita and it had salt in the foam instead of on the rim.
• 19:15
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, so there was a layer of really light foam on top of the margarita.
• 19:22
  Sean McAllister: And when we sipped it, we were like, wait a second, the salt is already in here?
• 19:27
  Sean McAllister: They were like, Yeah, it's in the foam.
• 19:29
  Dayna Roselli: We were like, oh, I love it.
• 19:31
  Dayna Roselli: It just didn't seem as harsh, you know?
• 19:33
  Sean McAllister: No, it didn't.
• 19:34
  Dayna Roselli: It was really good.
• 19:35
  Dayna Roselli: So we were able to have one or two.
• 19:37
  Sean McAllister: Well, and that's the thing when when you get a margarita and the salt is on the rim, like you have to like lick the side of the glass to get the salt, then take a sip.
• 19:48
  Sean McAllister: So this took away all of the extra steps.
• 19:50
  Sean McAllister: Everything was already right there in the glass.
• 19:52
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and yeah, I know.
• 19:53
  Dayna Roselli: And you were saying to me after you were saying, I'd go back there just for the margarita, right?
• 19:57
  Sean McAllister: The margarita and the dessert.
• 19:58
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, the dessert was great too.
• 19:59
  Dayna Roselli: Those churros.
• 20:01
  Dayna Roselli: And we were with our friend Perez Hilton, who he says he loves, you know, Mexican restaurants, and he was he said those were like the best churros I've ever had.
• 20:08
  Sean McAllister: They really were incredible, excellent.
• 20:12
  Sean McAllister: Oh, they were so crispy and cinnamony, sugary on the outside, but the inside was like melted in your mouth.
• 20:19
  Sean McAllister: It was just it was good, so good.
• 20:22
  Dayna Roselli: I'm not even a huge dessert person, and I was like, though, that was a good churro.
• 20:28
  Dayna Roselli: Um, we also really loved the, and I don't know how if I'm gonna say it right.
• 20:32
  Sean McAllister: Chicharone?
• 20:33
  Sean McAllister: The chicharron, yeah.
• 20:34
  Dayna Roselli: Chicharone, yeah.
• 20:36
  Dayna Roselli: That was delicious.
• 20:38
  Dayna Roselli: We had some grapefish, some ribs, and we had like a, was it like a scallop in a shell?
• 20:43
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it was scallops, but it was a little bit.
• 20:45
  Sean McAllister: It was like a scallop ceviche served in like a fancy shell.
• 20:51
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it was good.
• 20:52
  Dayna Roselli: Beautiful presentation, too.
• 20:54
  Dayna Roselli: We had lots of different things there.
• 20:55
  Dayna Roselli: If you've uh want to check out kind of a different sort of restaurant when it comes to like that's what I was saying, like I don't want to want to call it Mexican, but it was Latin-inspired dishes, you know.
• 21:06
  Dayna Roselli: Um, lots of appetizers, they had their seasonal ingredients, um, shareable plates, all that kind of thing.
• 21:11
  Dayna Roselli: So check it out.
• 21:12
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, a little bit of everything.
• 21:14
  Dayna Roselli: Viva by Ray Garcia, right there in the district at Resorts World.
• 21:18
  Sean McAllister: And another food tip for you, and Dana, this one is very friendly on the pocketbook.
• 21:25
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, you and I were reading about this.
• 21:27
  Dayna Roselli: Actually, we saw a video.
• 21:28
  Dayna Roselli: I think it was on TikTok, and we went, wait, how come I've never heard of this?
• 21:32
  Dayna Roselli: Well, I've heard of it, but I didn't know that everything on the menu for lunch is$5.99.
• 21:38
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm talking about Ocean One Bar and Grill at the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood.
• 21:44
  Sean McAllister: It's right by the rainstorm where the rain comes out of the ceiling.
• 21:47
  Sean McAllister: And you know, they have the thunder and lightning, all that.
• 21:50
  Sean McAllister: Well, the restaurant's like right there.
• 21:53
  Dayna Roselli: Well, the video said, you know, don't be nervous if you see a line, because that happens, but it moves really quick, apparently.
• 21:59
  Dayna Roselli: Um$5.99 on the lunch menu, and I'm talking everything, Sean, from the like spinach and artichoke dip to the beef tacos, chicken Santa Fe tacos, buffalo chicken wrap, half-pound sirloin burger.
• 22:15
  Dayna Roselli: You can get grilled salmon, uh penny pasta, spaghetti and meatballs.
• 22:20
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, everything's$5.99.
• 22:21
  Sean McAllister: So that's not even like a small meal.
• 22:25
  Dayna Roselli: It's unreal, this menu.
• 22:27
  Dayna Roselli: And you looked up the time.
• 22:28
  Dayna Roselli: So lunch time is a long period of time, too.
• 22:32
  Sean McAllister: Uh online it said 11:30 to 5 p.m.
• 22:35
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 22:35
  Dayna Roselli: So good chunk of time there to get in on the$5.99 menu.
• 22:40
  Dayna Roselli: Another perk, Sean, this one's for you.
• 22:43
  Dayna Roselli: Always three for one cocktails.
• 22:45
  Sean McAllister: Oh.
• 22:46
  Dayna Roselli: And the cocktails are 11 bucks.
• 22:48
  unknown: Three.
• 22:48
  Sean McAllister: Three cocktails for 11 bucks?
• 22:51
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 22:52
  Dayna Roselli: All day, every day, by the way.
• 22:55
  Sean McAllister: I don't even do math, but I know that that's a good deal.
• 22:57
  Dayna Roselli: And I think I read somewhere else on the website that the beers are$3.49, too.
• 23:03
  Dayna Roselli: Man.
• 23:03
  Dayna Roselli: So I mean, this is a bargain.
• 23:05
  Dayna Roselli: You know, from now on, when we take clients out to lunch, I'm gonna suggest Ocean One because it saves us money.
• 23:11
  Sean McAllister: We should like get a standing reservation.
• 23:14
  Sean McAllister: A standing lunch reservation.
• 23:16
  Dayna Roselli: Right?
• 23:16
  Dayna Roselli: Um, browsed at the dinner menu and stuff, and they've got a lot of$11.99,$8.99,$9.99 on the dinner, and then the breakfast uh menu, I think was mostly around$8.99.
• 23:25
  Dayna Roselli: So, but the lunch,$5.99 on everything.
• 23:29
  Dayna Roselli: Unreal.
• 23:29
  Sean McAllister: But even the breakfast and dinner, the prices are extremely reasonable.
• 23:34
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 23:35
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, a three cheese omelet,$8.99.
• 23:38
  Dayna Roselli: Eggs Benedict, two.
• 23:40
  Dayna Roselli: Don't know what that means.
• 23:42
  Dayna Roselli: If it's$4.2 or there's two of them,$9.99.
• 23:45
  Dayna Roselli: Eggs Florentine,$7.99.

  Sean McAllister: So there's still a lot that you can find for$5.99.
• 24:00
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 24:02
  Dayna Roselli: I feel like I'm doing like uh, you know, one of those commercials where you shout out the prices.
• 24:07
  Dayna Roselli: One of those.
• 24:08
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, they have Ocean One uh Bar and Grills all over Florida, but this is the only Las Vegas location, and they also call it Las Vegas' busiest restaurant.
• 24:17
  Dayna Roselli: So there you have it.
