  Dayna Roselli: And everyone is talking about Metallica at Sphere.
• 0:46

• 0:58

• 1:17
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, thanks for your donations.
• 1:19
  Sean McAllister: And uh yeah, so they went to Thursday night and Saturday.
• 1:22
  Sean McAllister: They uh loved both nights, but said Saturday was the night when they got all of it seemed like all of the big hits.
• 1:32
  Sean McAllister: Like if you were their favorites.
• 1:34
  Sean McAllister: If you're a casual fan, like maybe a Saturday night show is the one that you want to go to.
• 1:39
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 1:40
  Dayna Roselli: Wait, the if you're a casual, what do you mean?
• 1:42
  Sean McAllister: Like if you're a casual fan and you don't know like the deep cuts from the albums over.
• 1:48
  Dayna Roselli: Got it, got it, got it, okay.
• 1:49
  Sean McAllister: Which it seems like that's kind of what the band was playing on the Thursday night show.
• 1:54
  Sean McAllister: And then Saturday was like all the songs that just about anybody would recognize.
• 1:59
  Dayna Roselli: Got it.
• 1:59
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, makes sense.
• 2:00
  Dayna Roselli: And hopefully they'll stick with it.
• 2:02
  Dayna Roselli: But I wonder if they could throw everyone for a loop and switch it.
• 2:04
  Sean McAllister: And mix it up.
• 2:05
  Dayna Roselli: I know make the Saturday on a Thursday and the third, you know, so I don't know.
• 2:09
  Sean McAllister: They very well may.
• 2:10
  Dayna Roselli: I guess we'll see after this weekend if it's still the same.
• 2:13
  Dayna Roselli: But um, yeah, I mean, you know, uh the the visuals look great.
• 2:17
  Dayna Roselli: You know, Metallica may not be for everyone, it may be others' favorites.
• 2:21
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it's sold out, it's incredible.
• 2:24
  Dayna Roselli: The pop-up uh at the Venetian is really fun.
• 2:27
  Dayna Roselli: We ran into a bunch of different Metallica fans that came in from all over.
• 2:30
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but let's talk about first.
• 2:32
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, we posted about that on our social media, and there's like a lot of conversation in there about people saying, you know, this show isn't for the real fans.
• 2:42
  Dayna Roselli: And then, you know, I just chimed in with responding to the person very nice.
• 2:48
  Dayna Roselli: And I said, listen, you know, Metallica has an opportunity to do a really creative show in a venue that is one of a kind, the only one in the entire world.
• 2:58
  Dayna Roselli: Um, they're gonna do it.
• 2:59
  Dayna Roselli: I would do it too, you know, and it gives fans who want that kind of experience, you know, the opportunity.
• 3:05
  Dayna Roselli: And he's like, You're arguing with me.
• 3:07
  Dayna Roselli: I'm like, I'm not arguing, I'm simply pointing out that it's a different kind of experience and uh it's sold out.
• 3:13
  Dayna Roselli: Now, I get things are expensive, it might be a little bit more expensive than maybe just a regular concert, but regular concerts are expensive these days too.
• 3:22
  Sean McAllister: Well, and you can't compare what they're doing at Sphere to these massive shows that they've done throughout their career.
• 3:29
  Sean McAllister: Like back in the 90s, I saw somebody comparing uh like what it visually looked like with uh no phones out at a concert in the 90s, and now here everybody is recording the experience.
• 3:42
  Sean McAllister: Well, that's just a sign of the times.
• 3:44
  Dayna Roselli: Well, there just wasn't phones in there.
• 3:46
  Dayna Roselli: There weren't exactly so that I had to comment under that too on my personal account.
• 3:50
  Dayna Roselli: I it really annoyed me.
• 3:52
  Dayna Roselli: I was like, You're showing because he's saying he said this specific person was saying, and you know, I know people do this for clicks, this might be exactly what this person wants.
• 4:00
  Dayna Roselli: But saying the sphere is ruining concerts.
• 4:03
  Dayna Roselli: I'm like, Are you kidding me?
• 4:04
  Dayna Roselli: Like, and he's like, Look, not look at everyone's got their phones out shooting the visuals.
• 4:09
  Dayna Roselli: And then he showed the concert from the 90s and said, This is what it used to look like.
• 4:13
  Dayna Roselli: In the 90s, we didn't have phones.
• 4:16
  Dayna Roselli: If you go to a park MGM show, uh whatever, call us people have their phones out at those too.
• 4:23
  Dayna Roselli: It's not only the sphere, it's just the fact that people have phones and they can record.
• 4:28
  Sean McAllister: Well, life has changed.
• 4:29
  Sean McAllister: I mean, you look at my uh kitchen from the 90s and there was a phone hanging on the wall.
• 4:34
  Sean McAllister: You look at my kitchen today, there's no phone in sight.
• 4:36
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 4:37
  Sean McAllister: I mean, it's for everything, like things change.
• 4:40
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 4:40
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, they definitely do it for the clicks, probably, but it does get you fired up, right?
• 4:45
  Dayna Roselli: It does.
• 4:45
  Dayna Roselli: But um, someone did chime in though in the the first comment we were talking about and saying, listen, a real fan doesn't say I'm a real fan.
• 4:52
  Dayna Roselli: And I like, I was like, oh, so anyway, there's this whole thing going on underneath it.
• 4:56
  Dayna Roselli: But um listen, it's sold out, people are enjoying it.
• 5:00
  Dayna Roselli: And if you want to go and and you can afford to go, they're there, you know.
• 5:05
  Dayna Roselli: I I get it.
• 5:06
  Dayna Roselli: It's frustrating.
• 5:07
  Dayna Roselli: There's so many things in life I'd like to be doing that I can't afford to do either.
• 5:10
  Dayna Roselli: But um, it sounds like people are really ex were excited about it, are excited about it, and enjoying it.
• 5:16
  Dayna Roselli: When we went to the free pop-up, um, so there's a pop-up fan experience at the Venetian, and we ran into a lot of um fans, as I mentioned earlier, that were traveling in um with family.
• 5:27
  Dayna Roselli: In fact, we we interviewed a brother and sister at the fan experience right near the merch.
• 5:31
  Dayna Roselli: So let's listen to this interview.
• 5:33
  Dayna Roselli: So you guys came all the way here from Minnesota.
• 5:35
  Dayna Roselli: Yep.
• 5:35
  Dayna Roselli: What brought you here?
• 5:36
  Dayna Roselli: I know it's Metallica, but you know, why did you decide to come all the way to Las Vegas for this specific show?
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: So my brother and I have been Metallica fans since we were kids, and uh, we don't live in the same state anymore.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: So anytime Metallica is playing, we meet up somewhere.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: So we try to do this once a year as long as Metallica's playing, and it just so happens to be the sphere.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: This fear.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: See, and usually it's the brother that likes Metallica and the sister was forced to listen to it.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Oh no, I'm the older sister, so I did the influencing thing.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I think so, yeah.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:09
  Dayna Roselli: So it's kind of nice you guys share something together here.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: It's uh it's a bonding, brother-sister bonding experience.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: You know, we don't see each other for Christmas or birthdays, but when Metallica's playing, doesn't matter where it's at.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: If it's in one of our hometowns, we'll visit each other.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: If it's in a place like Las Vegas, absolutely, we're gonna come here.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: We're having a good time.
• 6:28
  Dayna Roselli: And what are you excited about to see specifically at this show?
• 6:31
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it's gonna be really different.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're in the snake pit.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Once you're in the snake pit, it's kind of hard to like leave the snake pit.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: So, you know, it'll be I'm always happy to see the friends that we make along the way.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Um, we already found a few of them here.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Uh, so yeah.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: And you guys are loading up on merch.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: What are you getting?
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Oh gosh, that's embarrassing.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: A lot.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: A lot! I love it.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: They like it here, they they want people to buy a lot.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I texted a took a picture of this Yeti.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Um, I want to make sure that my wife will let me in the house when I come home if I buy this $275 Yeti.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: So I'm still noodling on it, but got plenty of other cool merch.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Got a nice hoodie, got a got a nice um thing thing for my beers.
• 7:14
  Dayna Roselli: yeah, gotta hold the beer, gotta keep the hands you know, nice and dry.
• 7:18
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 7:18
  Dayna Roselli: And the beer cool, right?
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 7:21
  Dayna Roselli: And I love the hoodie.
• 7:22
  Dayna Roselli: Now, uh do you are you guys noticing that there's different stuff here than in other places you've been?
• 7:26
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, absolutely.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: This stuff is way nicer than any of the other pop-up shops we've been to, actually, all over the world at this point.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: We yeah.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Massive selection.
• 7:35
  Sean McAllister: I thought that was such a fun conversation to have with them because they travel around the world to go to these Metallica shows, and that's like what they bond over.
• 7:45
  Sean McAllister: It's like the time when they actually get to spend together.
• 7:48
  Sean McAllister: You know, they both leave their respective families behind, get together, go to these Metallica shows, and then the brother he had to call his wife to get approval for that Yeti cooler.
• 7:59
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I know.
• 7:59
  Dayna Roselli: Isn't that funny?
• 8:00
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my, they had their arms full of stuff.
• 8:03
  Sean McAllister: They did a lot of people did.
• 8:04
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I mean, and they're you know, there's a good variety of price points in there, but there were some hundred and fifty dollar hoodie sweatshirts I saw.
• 8:12
  Sean McAllister: And people were leaving with armfuls of them.
• 8:15
  Dayna Roselli: The fan experience is really cool.
• 8:17
  Dayna Roselli: It's got um that one room where they used to kind of what practice.
• 8:21
  Sean McAllister: Oh, yeah, it was the garage of the house.
• 8:23
  Sean McAllister: Uh they've recreated the garage of the house that the band lived in back in their early days when they were uh, I think it was their first two albums that they were writing and recording, and the garage was their like practice space.
• 8:38
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 8:39
  Sean McAllister: And so there's a recreation of that garage that you can you can go and sit on the couch.
• 8:45
  Sean McAllister: You there's you know, beer cans strewn all over the place.
• 8:49
  Sean McAllister: There's I mean, it's a very like 80s garage setup.
• 8:54
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I was like, my mom still has that kitchen chair that they have in there.
• 8:57
  Dayna Roselli: She loves her chairs on a roller.
• 8:59
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, this wasn't particularly rolling, but it's the exact same thing.
• 9:03
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 9:04
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but yeah, it it's very familiar, right?
• 9:06
  Sean McAllister: It was.
• 9:07
  Dayna Roselli: A lot of nostalgia.
• 9:08
  Sean McAllister: The drum sets in there, the guitars, the amps, you know.
• 9:12
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 9:12
  Sean McAllister: So it was.
• 9:13
  Sean McAllister: It's really cool.
• 9:14
  Dayna Roselli: So instead of us explaining it, um, we did talk with John Michael Marino.
• 9:18
  Dayna Roselli: He's Metallica's touring coordinator, and we we stopped over uh to the fan experience and we said, Hey, can we interview you?
• 9:25
  Dayna Roselli: And he said, sure, and gave us some more details.
• 9:27
  Dayna Roselli: First of all, you don't hear free a lot.
• 9:29
  Dayna Roselli: So why do you guys choose to make it free as well?
• 9:32
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: Well, the goal here is we're building a fan experience around the sphere residency.
• 9:36
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: So we want fans to be able to do more than what they can do when we're out on tour, and this room represents a snapshot of that.
• 9:44
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: So come in, besides the pop-up shop, which is absolutely incredible.
• 9:48
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: We have over a hundred exclusive items.
• 9:50
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: Um, there are moments around the room that represent different stages of the band's career.
• 9:55
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: So no matter when you became a fan, whether it was in '81 or 2026, uh, there is a connection point as a Metallica fan in this room.
• 10:04
  Dayna Roselli: And what will people experience?
• 10:06
  Dayna Roselli: I see the different, you know, kind of corners.
• 10:08
  Dayna Roselli: I love the the what is it called?
• 10:09
  Dayna Roselli: The Metalli Mansion?
• 10:11
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: Yes.
• 10:11
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: So we'll start there.
• 10:12
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: So the Metalli Mansion is a recreation of the house that the man lived in, wrote the first two records in, and rehearsed in the garage out back, and that's what's in the space is a recreation of that garage uh from El Sorrito.
• 10:27
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: Um we also have actual set props and pieces from the Damaged Justice Tour, circa 88, 89.
• 10:34
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: Um there are interactive album covers and and photo op scenics uh right behind me.
• 10:40
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: So we've got Master of Puppets, we've got Ride the Lightning.
• 10:43
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: So if you're a fan, you want to get your hands on some actual Metallica memorabilia, take photos of classic moments from history, this is the room to do it.
• 10:53
  Dayna Roselli: Are there things in Las Vegas here that are different than what you might have on tour in other cities?
• 10:59
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: Absolutely.
• 11:00
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: So we we certainly have done versions of what you're seeing here in Vegas with pop-up shops, with our black box lounge and experience.
• 11:08
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: Everything here in Vegas is on steroids, absolutely.
• 11:11
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: We have brought new items that have not been uh dusted off in decades.
• 11:16
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: We have got brand new merchandise that has never been sold and is not being sold anywhere else.
• 11:20
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: Um, so it is a full redesign of what we typically offer out on tour.
• 11:25
  Dayna Roselli: Is the band excited to play the sphere?
• 11:27
  Dayna Roselli: And I know people are excited to see something different.
• 11:30
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, people have followed them and they've seen them on tour, and that's always an amazing experience, but this is something different.
• 11:35
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: It is absolutely something different.
• 11:37
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: The band is beyond excited.
• 11:39
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: The crew has been working tirelessly for over a year, so we're finally here, right?
• 11:45
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: We're in Las Vegas, we're at the sphere, we're at the Minician.
• 11:48
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: Um, it's gonna blow people's minds.
• 11:50
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: The show's incredible.
• 11:52
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: Uh, it takes a lot of time, energy, blood, sweat, and tears.
• 11:56
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: I mean, the the band's creative team has been hard on hard at work for let's call it two years on the show uh with our with our vendors and our touring partners.
• 12:05
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: The Metallica crew itself has been hard at work for the last month physically preparing, rehearsing, getting the show ready for the band.
• 12:14
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: And the band's been here in Vegas themselves for the past week, learning the new stage, um, learning the new room.
• 12:20
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: It's it's a totally different live experience than in stadiums, arenas.
• 12:24
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: So um it there's it it's it's new not only for the fans but for the band themselves.
• 12:30
  Dayna Roselli: And sold out.
• 12:31
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: It is most certainly sold out, yes.
• 12:34
  Dayna Roselli: And we are Vegas revealed, so we always have to ask: is there a chance that it could go farther beyond merch if everything goes well?
• 12:41
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, I feel like there's always a chance, right?
• 12:44
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: Listen, that that decision is up to four guys.
• 12:47
  John-Michael Marino, Metallica Touring Coordinator: Unfortunately, I'm not one of them, but hey, if they decide that that they love it and we're gonna keep coming back, then we'll have this conversation next year.
• 12:55
  Dayna Roselli: John Michael does not make the decisions, everyone.
• 12:58
  Dayna Roselli: But you know.
• 12:59
  Dayna Roselli: While we were there, Sean, um, I feel like I actually really knew every song that was playing overhead.
• 13:05
  Dayna Roselli: I was like, you know, I really did listen to a lot of Metallica growing up, whether it was in the background, you know, I I think I've mentioned before we used to play cards at my friend's house.
• 13:14
  Dayna Roselli: He loved Metallica, so the albums were always on.
• 13:16
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm like, man, they they do have some great music.
• 13:19
  Sean McAllister: I know my cousin used to uh watch Headbanger's Ball, you know, at night on MTV and where they were playing like Metallica, Guns N' Roses, all that stuff.
• 13:29
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 13:30
  Sean McAllister: And so that's how I originally um was introduced to Metallica back in the day through my cousin.
• 13:37
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 13:37
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 13:38
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, we all were introduced to different kinds of things, you know.
• 13:41
  Sean McAllister: Such good music.
• 13:42
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 13:42
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I was gonna say, because I know people will ask for times and stuff.
• 13:46
  Dayna Roselli: Here's the deal uh some of the times uh might vary, but they always have the pop-up open um like before and after shows for sure.
• 13:55
  Dayna Roselli: Additional days, I believe I saw on the schedule Sundays they open it too, figuring that a lot of people saw Saturday show.
• 14:01
  Dayna Roselli: They might want to wake up and go to the pop-up.
• 14:03
  Dayna Roselli: So you'll have to check on your own, but um it is at the Venetian in the summit showroom.
• 14:09
  Dayna Roselli: So it's kind of on the way to the bridge to go over the Saturday.
• 14:12
  Sean McAllister: Yes, because you have to go through that convention space.
• 14:15
  Dayna Roselli: So right.
• 14:15
  Dayna Roselli: So the dates and times for now, Wednesdays and Fridays, 10 a.m.
• 14:19
  Dayna Roselli: to 8 p.m.
• 14:20
  Dayna Roselli: Thursday and Saturday, 10 a.m.
• 14:21
  Dayna Roselli: to after show.
• 14:23
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, so Wednesday and Friday, not after show because there aren't shows.
• 14:27
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but Thursday and Saturday, show days, they do have it open after the show, and then Sundays 10 to 2.
• 14:33
  Dayna Roselli: Schedules, uh, this schedule was currently for the first couple weeks and it is subject to changing.
• 14:38
  Dayna Roselli: So just check before you go.
• 14:39
  Dayna Roselli: But it is free to get in.
• 14:41
  Dayna Roselli: Uh you have to buy, you know, if you're gonna buy merch, you buy, but other than that, you can walk around, take pictures, do the whole thing.
• 14:47
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and that uh summit showroom is kind of uh kitty corner to the box office over there at um at the Venetian.
• 14:54
  Sean McAllister: And I was surprised.
• 14:55
  Sean McAllister: I mean, this is kind of a a tangent, but the Summit Showroom has been completely gutted and its new use is now for these pop-ups associated with uh sphere performers.
• 15:09
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 15:09
  Sean McAllister: And it's something we talked about on that uh City Cast episode uh that we were guests on.
• 15:15
  Sean McAllister: Uh it's another podcast here in Las Vegas where we were talking about the evolution and how some theater spaces are being utilized for different purposes.
• 15:26
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, the medium size.
• 15:27
  Sean McAllister: The medium size.
• 15:28
  Dayna Roselli: And that was a good little showroom.
• 15:29
  Dayna Roselli: I loved it.
• 15:30
  Sean McAllister: Derek Huff performed in there, he had a show in there.
• 15:32
  Sean McAllister: Joan Rivers had many shows in there back in the day.
• 15:35
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and we went to see Joe uh Debbie Gibson and Joey McIntyre in there.
• 15:38
  Dayna Roselli: That was great.
• 15:39
  Dayna Roselli: And I went to see, I forget what it was called, the one where the different uh boy band members all did a show together.
• 15:44
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, yeah.
• 15:45
  Dayna Roselli: It was Nick, yeah, and Nick and Joey Patone.
• 15:48
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and I loved it.
• 15:50
  Dayna Roselli: It was so awesome, but seeing tons of shows in there.
• 15:53
  Dayna Roselli: Human nature used to be in there.
• 15:54
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, that for a long time.
• 15:56
  Dayna Roselli: It was a I really liked it.
• 15:57
  Sean McAllister: Because there wasn't a bad seat, and yeah, but we also talked about how you know you need to make things more experiential for fans, and that's exactly what they're doing with that space.
• 16:08
  Dayna Roselli: Well, because they do have a bunch of showrooms already, or theaters, I should say, in the Venetian, right?
• 16:12
  Dayna Roselli: They have the Venetian theater, Voltaire.
• 16:15
  Sean McAllister: Uh also the Palazzo Theater.
• 16:18
  Dayna Roselli: Palazzo Theater, yeah.
• 16:19
  Dayna Roselli: And then Oh, I was gonna say, where Rocket of Ages used to be, that was in Voltaire.
• 16:24
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 16:25
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, okay.
• 16:26
  Dayna Roselli: Uh yeah, it gets it gets confusing.
• 16:28
  Dayna Roselli: But anyway, um, so FYI on that.
• 16:31
  Dayna Roselli: But let's move on to Wizard of Oz.
• 16:33
  Dayna Roselli: We've teased it and talked about it.
• 16:35
  Dayna Roselli: And if you're into the Wizard of Oz, which so many of you are, they added some new 4D effects, some new 4D enhancements is what they're calling it, to the film to keep it current, keep it evolving.
• 16:45
  Dayna Roselli: And we went and experienced it.
• 16:46
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and the flying monkey scene, I think, is the the scene stealer.
• 16:51
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 16:51
  Sean McAllister: This is a brand new scene that's been added into the movie.
• 16:55
  Sean McAllister: Um, the flying monkeys go through this canyon as they're on their way to the forest to get, you know, Dorothy and the Tin Man and the Scarecrow and the Lion.
• 17:04
  Sean McAllister: Um, and there are new animatronic monkeys that they that come flying over your head.
• 17:09
  Sean McAllister: And it's uh really, I mean, it makes you feel like you're flying right along with them.
• 17:15
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it is really, really cool.
• 17:17
  Dayna Roselli: It's pretty incredible.
• 17:18
  Dayna Roselli: What a visual, right?
• 17:19
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and then they have new scents in there too for Kansas and Emerald City and the Apple Forest and Munchkin Land.
• 17:25
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, they added in a new cowardly lion scene, the one that a lot of people felt it really needed.
• 17:31
  Dayna Roselli: Like they took it out.
• 17:32
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and apparently um someone from Spear was telling us that that Oprah when she came to see the Wizard of Osh, like, you gotta put that lion scene back in.
• 17:40
  Dayna Roselli: You know, when he's like, put him up, put him up.
• 17:42
  Sean McAllister: Put 'em up.
• 17:42
  Sean McAllister: Put him up.
• 17:44
  Sean McAllister: What are you miserable men?
• 17:48
  Dayna Roselli: Yep, it's back.
• 17:50
  Dayna Roselli: Um, they also have these interactive wands that light up.
• 17:54
  Dayna Roselli: They are really fun and really cool.
• 17:55
  Dayna Roselli: And you can get that with the Bad Witch package, uh, which also includes some uh you get to go into the Delta Lounge and have some themed foods, you get premium seating and a lot of other things in the bag, but the wand is part of it.
• 18:06
  Dayna Roselli: And you'll notice that like it, like when when Dorothy clicked her heels three times, my wand turned red, red, red, like right in a row, and I could feel it vibrate.
• 18:15
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 18:15
  Dayna Roselli: So that's what I mean by interactive.
• 18:17
  Sean McAllister: And when Glinda comes, like the wand turns pink, and you know, obviously the the bubble and the glitter and all that comes with it too.
• 18:25
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 18:26
  Dayna Roselli: Someone did say to us on social that they didn't get a wand and they got the bad.
• 18:30
  Dayna Roselli: So um, when I did look back at the release, I did see that the wands are part of the Bad Witch package starting October 15th.
• 18:37
  Dayna Roselli: Then you will be able to buy a wand separately for $40 starting November 3rd.
• 18:43
  Dayna Roselli: So keep all those specifics in mind.
• 18:45
  Dayna Roselli: Because there are a lot of like hardcore Wizard of Oz fans, and we learned that because a friend of ours, Larry Edwards, called me saying, I need your apple with the worm on it that you showed.
• 18:55
  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, Okay, you know, we'll meet up.
• 18:57
  Dayna Roselli: You can have it, Larry.
• 18:58
  Dayna Roselli: And he's like, Well, I'll trade you for the gold in it.
• 19:00
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm like, no, don't trade.
• 19:01
  Dayna Roselli: You can keep your apple, it's okay, you know.
• 19:02
  Dayna Roselli: And he's like, No, no, no, you gotta.
• 19:04
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, I was thinking, you know, we'd meet up later in the week or when I had, you know, and Larry's like, okay, what time should I come over?
• 19:10
  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, uh, it's Sunday, Larry.
• 19:12
  Dayna Roselli: Well, let me hop in the shower.
• 19:13
  Dayna Roselli: I just got back from the gym.
• 19:14
  Dayna Roselli: I went downstairs, I gave him the worm apple.
• 19:17
  Dayna Roselli: He was so thankful to complete his collection.
• 19:20
  Dayna Roselli: So it's a thing.
• 19:21
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and the merchandise over there is constantly evolving, too.
• 19:25
  Sean McAllister: I know now they're selling um like the shirts that the monkey guards wear.
• 19:33
  Sean McAllister: You know, there's the guards that guard the witch's castle, and you can get a a monkey shirt.
• 19:39
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that's yeah.
• 19:41
  Dayna Roselli: A lot of additions.
• 19:41
  Dayna Roselli: There's what pyrotechnics now, some Glinda Glitter falls too.
• 19:45
  Dayna Roselli: You'll see the glitter falling from the above you.
• 19:48
  Dayna Roselli: So we've been getting a lot of questions about what's the best section.
• 19:52
  Dayna Roselli: Um, we sat in 307 this time, and I really thought that was a great spot.
• 19:57
  Dayna Roselli: So FYI, I think the 300s are ideal.
• 20:00
  Dayna Roselli: I really think you there's not a bad seat in the house.
• 20:03
  Dayna Roselli: Um, you would you want to be in the center if you're interested in catching like an apple?
• 20:06
  Dayna Roselli: An apple, yeah.
• 20:07
  Dayna Roselli: Because they'll fall kind of more in the center, so keep that in mind.
• 20:11
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, we had a great time.
• 20:12
  Dayna Roselli: We did learn some fun little factoids, too.
• 20:15
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, um, so uh obviously we know that there have been other uh film experiences over at Sphere as well.
• 20:24
  Sean McAllister: For example, there was Postcard from Earth, which is really kind of what kicked off things over at Sphere.
• 20:30
  Sean McAllister: Then there was the U2 uh film experience where they actually recorded U2's show inside of Sphere using the cameras that were built specifically for Sphere's screen so that when you play the film back on Sphere screen, it looks like U2 is still playing right in front of you.
• 20:50
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, but we went, it's great.
• 20:52
  Sean McAllister: It's wild.
• 20:52
  Sean McAllister: Uh but the U2 film is apparently just being used for uh big corporate events, and when uh people do a buyout of the sphere for their own, you know, private use kind of a thing, that's uh one of the options that you have uh if you if you do one of those buyouts.
• 21:12
  Sean McAllister: Postcard from Earth, um it sounds like it's going to be used at as other sphere venues open around the world.
• 21:21
  Dayna Roselli: Smaller uh sphere venues.
• 21:22
  Dayna Roselli: Not as big as ours.
• 21:24
  Sean McAllister: And not the original, not the original, right.
• 21:27
  Dayna Roselli: And I guess that film From the Edge uh is still moving forward with no specific date.
• 21:32
  Dayna Roselli: We also did learn, you know, we've told you that Rocky Horror Picture Show is coming too, and we kind of got some buzz that there might be midnight screenings for that one.
• 21:41
  Dayna Roselli: So kind of more, you know, fitting with the feel, and that's a great idea.
• 21:46
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, we were talking uh with one of the global head of corporate marketing and communications at the sphere, and she was telling us that I mean, they are you know competing with iconic uh buildings like.
• 21:59
  Dayna Roselli: The Empire State Building, the Sydney Opera House, the Eiffel Tower, the sphere is now one of those places that people want to come to.
• 22:07
  Dayna Roselli: And so they don't want to just use it once a day.
• 22:10
  Dayna Roselli: They want to use it a couple times a day, or maybe three times a day.
• 22:14
  Dayna Roselli: And she was even saying she watched one of the changeovers, like in between shows, and it took uh 37 minutes only to like take down that lobby and do all these things.
• 22:24
  Dayna Roselli: And so they have it down.
• 22:26
  Sean McAllister: They do have it down.
• 22:27
  Sean McAllister: And I think um as she was even saying, as they clear out uh every all the mechanics and everything that's required for the Wizard of Oz movie, um even the uh the crew members who are down there, they they wear the monkey shirts.
• 22:44
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that's so good.
• 22:45
  Sean McAllister: So it looks like a little army of monkeys getting getting everything ready to set up a stage for something like Metallica.
• 22:52
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and I noticed the staff at the Sphere are really, really kind.
• 22:56
  Dayna Roselli: We've complimented the folks at T-Mobile before.
• 22:58
  Dayna Roselli: I feel the same about Sphere.
• 22:59
  Dayna Roselli: They're so nice, so friendly, willing to help, telling you where you're gonna go.
• 23:04
  Dayna Roselli: I like them over there.
• 23:06
  Dayna Roselli: It's a great experience.
• 23:07
  Dayna Roselli: So for anyone that says, I'm not sure if I want to spend the money, I don't know.
• 23:12
  Dayna Roselli: I think it's worth it.
• 23:13
  Dayna Roselli: I think it's a once and only.
• 23:14
  Dayna Roselli: If you're coming to Vegas or you want to come to Las Vegas, um, you know, you could do a long weekend, get the sphere in, stay in a room for two nights, do a couple of the main things.
• 23:26
  Dayna Roselli: We actually are going to talk about some free things to do in Las Vegas, you know, build around some free things.
• 23:31
  Sean McAllister: Absolutely.
• 23:32
  Sean McAllister: And whether you come in and see one of the film experiences there or a live concert, you really can't go wrong.
• 23:40
  Sean McAllister: Um, but going back to Wizard of Oz, those tickets, they've sold over four million tickets, nearly a half billion dollars in ticket sales.
• 23:49
  Sean McAllister: It's incredible.
• 23:49
  Sean McAllister: Wild.
• 23:50
  Sean McAllister: And that's since it opened in August of last year of 2025.
• 23:54
  Sean McAllister: I know.
• 23:55
  Dayna Roselli: So the next act that's been announced at the sphere is John Mayer.
• 24:00
  Dayna Roselli: And uh it's funny because he was with Dead and Company, um, which I think a lot of people didn't even realize if you didn't go or you didn't know much about Dead and Company, but you know, it was uh band members from The Grateful Dead and John Mayer.
• 24:12
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so now he's getting his own solo sphere show.
• 24:16
  Dayna Roselli: People seem excited about this.
• 24:18
  Dayna Roselli: I've seen a couple friends comment underneath, like they're on the list to get all the information and get into the the room and get the tick.
• 24:24
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, people are people are gonna have a little nostalgia over this too, because John Mayer's got some hits, man.
• 24:31
  Sean McAllister: He does.
• 24:31
  Sean McAllister: So the sphere bug must have bitten him while he was here before.
• 24:35
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 24:36
  Sean McAllister: And now developing his own show over there.
• 24:39
  Sean McAllister: Um, so that limited it run, it's a limited run as it stands right now, as of this recording.
• 24:47
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 24:47
  Dayna Roselli: It's never limited, it's usually just called limited and then they add.
• 24:50
  Sean McAllister: It's just limited numbers of shows are announced and tickets available.
• 24:55
  Sean McAllister: So this is for six shows that start in April of 2027.
• 25:00
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 25:00
  Sean McAllister: Um, and it goes through it's uh beginning of April through April 18th at the moment.
• 25:06
  Sean McAllister: However, as we say with with many shows, especially at Sphere, we do anticipate more shows being announced.
• 25:16
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 25:16
  Dayna Roselli: So stay tuned.
• 25:18
  Dayna Roselli: Um, we did mention free things, just a quick I know people love the Bellagio Conservatory.
• 25:23
  Dayna Roselli: Who doesn't?
• 25:24
  Dayna Roselli: It's amazing.
• 25:24
  Dayna Roselli: Just a reminder it's free, it's 24-7, you can go whenever, and the new fall display is up.
• 25:30
  Dayna Roselli: It's stunning.
• 25:31
  Dayna Roselli: We saw some pictures, we haven't been over there yet, but FYI, I know locals and visitors like to visit the Bellagio.
• 25:38
  Dayna Roselli: And there's another uh free thing that we actually put in the TV show, and then we actually walked by and saw it for ourselves over at the palazzo.
• 25:46
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, this is called Shy Society.
• 25:48
  Sean McAllister: It's right in the lobby of the palazzo, just steps outside of uh Lavo, if you're familiar with um you you know, with that restaurant.
• 25:57
  Sean McAllister: So uh it this is called Shy Society.
• 26:00
  Sean McAllister: You look up in the air, and there's all of these flowers that are suspended, and they're all like changing height and opening and closing, and it really is one of those things where you could like sit down and just be mesmerized by it.
• 26:15
  Dayna Roselli: I know it was cool.
• 26:17
  Dayna Roselli: I love what they say.
• 26:18
  Dayna Roselli: Uh there are um illuminated sculptures that bloom, retreat, and move in choreographed sequences.
• 26:23
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 26:24
  Dayna Roselli: So, um, and it changes throughout the day.
• 26:27
  Dayna Roselli: It was created uh exclusively for the Venetian.
• 26:30
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, check it out.
• 26:32
  Dayna Roselli: It's really pretty.
• 26:32
  Dayna Roselli: It's uh like pastel colors, like purple, light, light, light purple, light pinks, really, really pretty.
• 26:38
  Dayna Roselli: And I don't know, you can get a good picture somehow.
• 26:40
  Dayna Roselli: Put the can't put the phone on the ground.
• 26:43
  Sean McAllister: Yes.
• 26:44
  Dayna Roselli: Stand put your face in there, get it.
• 26:46
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 26:48
  Dayna Roselli: But it's it's nice.
• 26:50
  Dayna Roselli: Um, Halloween's right around the corner, and a lot of people ask us about what kinds of Halloween events take place in Las Vegas.
• 26:55
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it's literally endless because just like everything, Las Vegas loves to just go uh time extra times 10 with every single holiday or moment.
• 27:06
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but a couple off strip things.
• 27:09
  Dayna Roselli: Um, actually, I had a friend in town who had some friends with him.
• 27:13
  Dayna Roselli: And this one friend who comes to Las Vegas often did say, Hey, I'm heading out to the Sandollar Lounge.
• 27:19
  Dayna Roselli: I like to go there on my visits.
• 27:21
  Dayna Roselli: And I go, really?
• 27:21
  Dayna Roselli: You go like off the strip?
• 27:22
  Dayna Roselli: And he's like, Yeah, I love it.
• 27:23
  Dayna Roselli: He was trying to describe, he had forgotten the name.
• 27:25
  Dayna Roselli: He's like, It's a lounge, it's just over there.
• 27:27
  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, Sand dollar?
• 27:28
  Dayna Roselli: He's like, Yes, I love to go there for live music and the vibe, and it's just a cool place.
• 27:34
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm like, it really, really is.
• 27:35
  Dayna Roselli: We have covered uh Miracle on Spring Mountain during Christmas over and over through the years, but they're doing a Halloween theme this year, and they may have done it in the past, but it's called The Haunting on Spring Mountain.
• 27:48
  Dayna Roselli: It is officially open and it runs through Halloween, October 31st.
• 27:53
  Sean McAllister: And this is the kind of place where uh literally every square inch is going to be covered in all things Halloween.
• 28:01
  Sean McAllister: Yes.
• 28:01
  Sean McAllister: They have specialty cocktails, they have m cups and mugs um that are Halloween themed.
• 28:09
  Sean McAllister: So it's a good time, great spot.
• 28:12
  Sean McAllister: Um, and it's definitely worth getting off the strip a little bit.
• 28:17
  Sean McAllister: It's just on Spring Mountain, so it's not far away.
• 28:19
  Sean McAllister: It's a quick Uber ride or taxi ride.
• 28:22
  Sean McAllister: Um, but it's definitely worth going over there.
• 28:25
  Dayna Roselli: It is.
• 28:25
  Dayna Roselli: It's just it's a it's a classic.
• 28:27
  Dayna Roselli: It is fun.
• 28:28
  Dayna Roselli: If that's your thing, you're gonna love it.
• 28:30
  Dayna Roselli: And I know it's so many people think people love it.
• 28:32
  Dayna Roselli: They're like, we need to go, we need to go, we need to go.
• 28:34
  Dayna Roselli: So FYI.
• 28:36
  Dayna Roselli: Um, there's also movies on the green at the district at Green Valley Ranch.
• 28:40
  Dayna Roselli: Now that's in the Green Valley Henderson area, southeast Las Vegas.
• 28:44
  Dayna Roselli: Not a very far car ride from the strip.
• 28:46
  Dayna Roselli: No, it's a beautiful property.
• 28:47
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, like 15 minutes.
• 28:49
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so they're doing uh celebrating the spooky season with movies on the green, and this takes place through Saturday, October 24th.

  Sean McAllister: And the district is like an outdoor uh shopping district, right?
• 29:22
  Sean McAllister: And it really is beautiful.
• 29:24
  Sean McAllister: They do it uh the way they decorate it um for holidays, uh, Halloween right now, but then even at Christmas time and beyond.
• 29:32

  Sean McAllister: I have been loving seeing these winged monkeys popping up all over Las Vegas.
• 30:40
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 30:41
  Sean McAllister: You can see it on the Sphere's uh Instagram account, and it's just such a clever marketing thing.
• 30:47
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I love it.
• 30:48
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, go Raiders.
• 30:49
  Dayna Roselli: We were uh three and oh.
• 30:51
  Dayna Roselli: We were hoping to go for four and oh, but we didn't, we lost to the Chiefs.
• 30:55
  Dayna Roselli: It was a good game.
• 30:56
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but you know, Vegas is rallying, and we need more Raiders fans in Allegiant Stadium.
• 31:00
  Dayna Roselli: I know everyone's calling out for it.
• 31:01
  Dayna Roselli: Like, come on, support the team, but happy to see them doing well.
• 31:06
  Dayna Roselli: And, you know, no matter what anyone says, there's always smack talk, but you know what?
• 31:10
  Dayna Roselli: It's fun.

  Dayna Roselli: We have won three games in a row.

  Sean McAllister: It's huge.
• 31:20
  Sean McAllister: Which there has been Bill's Mania's Mania in Las Vegas.
• 31:28
  Sean McAllister: So many I mean, on strip and neighborhood places are announcing like all these Buffalo Bills specials for hosting watch parties, doing uh having special menus.
• 31:42
  Sean McAllister: I mean, it's wild.
• 31:44
