• 2:20
  Dayna Roselli: Like every week we say that, more things come in.

  Dayna Roselli: This is going on in April.
• 2:31
  Dayna Roselli: It's crazy, right?
• 2:32
  Sean McAllister: Well, I think I threw a mini tantrum yesterday.
• 2:34
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 2:35
  Sean McAllister: Because we got a handful of emails about things that are happening in the last week of April.
• 2:41
  Sean McAllister: And I'm like, my lord, people, there's already a lot, too much happening in April.
• 2:47
  Sean McAllister: Just wait until May.
• 2:49
  Sean McAllister: Just wait.
• 2:49
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 2:50
  Dayna Roselli: I wish we were saying, like, is anything gonna happen in May?
• 2:53
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know.
• 2:53
  Dayna Roselli: April showers bring May flowers and events.
• 2:58
  Dayna Roselli: I hope.
• 2:58
  Dayna Roselli: But we do have a lot going on.
• 3:00
  Dayna Roselli: It's a huge week here in Las Vegas.
• 3:02
  Dayna Roselli: So want to let everyone know the Palms is reopening and we're gonna be at that opening.
• 3:07
  Dayna Roselli: We are actually uh talking with people from the Palms.
• 3:10
  Dayna Roselli: All that coverage is gonna be in our next podcast.
• 3:14
  Dayna Roselli: Um, because we want to really dive into it's a big deal.
• 3:16
  Dayna Roselli: It's been closed since, you know, before COVID, new ownership, and we're gonna tell you everything you need to know about the Palms, which is a favorite among people that live here and visit.
• 3:25
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, so you'll get all of that in episode 116 coming up next week.
• 3:31
  Sean McAllister: Uh, but Dana, one of the big bits of news that came out this past week that I know that you were super excited about.
• 3:40
  Sean McAllister: You even said as we were sitting here working, you were like, uh, I need to find a way to get there.
• 3:46
  Sean McAllister: Because your boy, Tom Brady, is one of four NFL champs who is playing in the Capital One the Match.
• 3:57
  Sean McAllister: Now, this is the second time uh Capital One has come out here to Las Vegas to put on the match.
• 4:04
  Sean McAllister: The last time it was two PGA pros at the Wind Golf course.
• 4:08
  Sean McAllister: This time it's back at the Wind Golf course, except with Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers taking on Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen.
• 4:18
  Sean McAllister: This is happening on Wednesday, June 1st.
• 4:21
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 4:22
  Sean McAllister: So at least, Dana, you can look forward to June and have this on your calendar.
• 4:26
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 4:26
  Sean McAllister: It's not in April.
• 4:27
  Dayna Roselli: I know, I know.
• 4:28
  Dayna Roselli: That's true, that's true.
• 4:29
  Dayna Roselli: And yeah, when you started saying Tom Brady, I was like, we need to clear up.
• 4:33
  Dayna Roselli: We're talking about golf here, though.
• 4:35
  Dayna Roselli: So it's football players playing golf.
• 4:38
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 4:38
  Dayna Roselli: And that's the cool part.
• 4:40
  Dayna Roselli: I think that's gonna make it really fun.
• 4:41
  Dayna Roselli: Because they're, I mean, I feel like they all play golf, right?
• 4:44
  Dayna Roselli: So they're good at the and I feel like people that are athletes are always good at everything else that has to do with sports as well.
• 4:49
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, you know what I mean?
• 4:50
  Dayna Roselli: Like they can't really suck at golf.
• 4:52
  Dayna Roselli: No.
• 4:52
  Dayna Roselli: They're good at football.
• 4:54
  Sean McAllister: In the offseason, a lot of football players take up golf because it's a non-contact sport.
• 5:00
  Sean McAllister: So it's hard to get like super badly injured if you're playing golf.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 5:05
  Sean McAllister: I mean, maybe if you have a run-in with a cart or something, but we'll hope that that doesn't happen.
• 5:09
  Sean McAllister: So June 1st, uh, the TNT network is going to be exclusively televising uh what's being described as an epic 12-hole event.
• 5:20
  Sean McAllister: That'll be fun, right?
• 5:22
  Dayna Roselli: Is this the same thing that they did the one time where they actually put the microphones on the player?
• 5:26
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, it was it was Tiger, right?
• 5:27
  Dayna Roselli: Was it Tiger or somebody else?
• 5:29
  Dayna Roselli: I can't think of who it was.
• 5:31
  Dayna Roselli: Two, you're right, two players with microphones on, and you could hear their kind of discussion and commentary during it.
• 5:37
  Sean McAllister: Exactly.
• 5:37
  Sean McAllister: Okay.
• 5:38
  Sean McAllister: Yep, so it's so it's gonna be fun.
• 5:39
  Sean McAllister: And you know that there's gonna be some smack talking going on between these guys.
• 5:44
  Sean McAllister: I love that.
• 5:44
  Sean McAllister: Uh so June 1st, 6 30 p.m.
• 5:47
  Sean McAllister: Eastern time on TNT at the Win Golf Course, which is absolutely gorgeous.
• 5:54
  Sean McAllister: And I was just out there, Dana.
• 5:55
  Dayna Roselli: Well, that's what I wanted to bring up, and that's kind of why we wrote this down as a topic to discuss, because I thought, Sean, you were just there.
• 6:00
  Dayna Roselli: Let's talk about it.
• 6:01
  Dayna Roselli: And your um segment, your story, just aired on Vegas On, and you can find that at visitlosvegas.com or on their YouTube.
• 6:10
  Dayna Roselli: We do correspondent work for a show called Vegas On.
• 6:14
  Dayna Roselli: Sean did a behind-the-scenes look at the Win Golf Course, which is the only golf course on the strip, and it's gorgeous.
• 6:21
  Dayna Roselli: Not a lot of people get on it because it's pretty pricey.
• 6:24
  Sean McAllister: It is.
• 6:24
  Dayna Roselli: So, what did you find out?
• 6:26
  Dayna Roselli: Tell us some of the cool exclusive things.
• 6:28
  Sean McAllister: Well, what's really cool about this, it's the only resort golf course that is on the Las Vegas Strip, uh, and it dates back to the 50s.
• 6:39
  Sean McAllister: This was the Desert Inn golf course back in the day, and uh so it's got a lot of history.
• 6:45
  Sean McAllister: The golf course has been redone, redesigned over the years, but there are still uh some trees on some of the holes, some of the big old trees that date back to the Desert Inn years.
• 6:58
  Sean McAllister: And rumor has it that on one of those trees that remains from the original golf course, Dean Martin actually carved his name into the tree, but now the tree has grown so much you have to climb up there to actually get a look at it.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_02: Uh-huh.
• 7:14
  Sean McAllister: Uh so that's a bit of Vegas history that remains on the course.
• 7:19
  Sean McAllister: Something else that I thought was cool.
• 7:21
  Sean McAllister: This is the course where obviously Dean Martin played, but so did the rest of the rat pack.
• 7:27
  Sean McAllister: So when Frank and Sammy and Joey and Dean, they were all out there out there playing.
• 7:35
  Sean McAllister: And if you know the rat pack, you know that they enjoyed some cocktails.
• 7:38
  Sean McAllister: So they had a golf cart follow them around so that whenever they wanted a cocktail while they were playing around to golf, they would have somebody to serve it to them.
• 7:47
  Sean McAllister: And that was the birth of the drink cart.
• 7:51
  Sean McAllister: Oh my gosh.
• 7:52
  Sean McAllister: Drink carts did not exist in golf until the rat pack had that invented essentially on this golf course that is now the wind golf course.
• 8:03
  Dayna Roselli: That is such a cool story.
• 8:05
  Dayna Roselli: I love it.
• 8:05
  Dayna Roselli: That I never knew the the drink cart was started by that, but that makes sense.
• 8:11
  Dayna Roselli: It's Vegas, you know?
• 8:12
  Sean McAllister: Hey, that's Vegas Revealed right there.
• 8:14
  Dayna Roselli: Vegas revealed, revealed on Vegas on and Vegas Revealed, right?
• 8:19
  Dayna Roselli: I love that.
• 8:20
  Dayna Roselli: Well, listen, I know that you said it was gorgeous, and I know that when you were talking to uh the staff over there, they were saying, you know, yeah, it's pricey, but guess what?
• 8:28
  Dayna Roselli: We've had no problem getting people in here.
• 8:31
  Sean McAllister: Let me tell you, they said that they have been booked.
• 8:33
  Sean McAllister: Uh they are booking 20% more rounds, tea times, than they have in their busiest year in history.
• 8:43
  Sean McAllister: And you know, even as rates go up, people still keep booking.
• 8:48
  Sean McAllister: So uh golf la Las Vegas is a golf destination.
• 8:53
  Sean McAllister: And let me tell you, the wind golf course is a beautiful place to take in a round if you're coming here.
• 8:59
  Sean McAllister: We do have a ton of other fantastic golf courses as well.
• 9:03
  Sean McAllister: We do.
• 9:04
  Dayna Roselli: Um and and even when you were talking about the price, it's it's very expensive, but there are people who drop that on bottle service at a nightclub.
• 9:11
  Dayna Roselli: So you figure, you know, what four hours you get on the course?
• 9:16
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it's like$7.50 for a round.
• 9:18
  Dayna Roselli: $7.50 for a round, and that's per person.
• 9:20
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 9:21
  Dayna Roselli: I was telling my family that they were like, well, is that for the group?
• 9:24
  Dayna Roselli: I'm like, no.
• 9:25
  Sean McAllister: No, that's not a foursome.
• 9:26
  Sean McAllister: Uh-uh.
• 9:28
  Dayna Roselli: All right.
• 9:28
  Dayna Roselli: Well, um, let's keep on the kind of uh sports mode theme here because the NFL draft is in town.
• 9:34
  Dayna Roselli: It's a huge event for Las Vegas.
• 9:36
  Dayna Roselli: It was supposed to be here, and then Las Vegas shut down back in 2020, right?
• 9:41
  Sean McAllister: Right, yeah.
• 9:41
  Sean McAllister: So all the preparations were getting underway.
• 9:44
  Sean McAllister: We had all these great renderings of all these events that were going to be happening and how Las Vegas was gonna be built out to accommodate this huge National Football League event, and then the world shut down.
• 9:58
  Sean McAllister: Well, the world is opened back up now.
• 10:00
  Sean McAllister: The NFL draft is back in Las Vegas, and right now, let me tell you, there is a lot of construction and event preparations happening up and down the Las Vegas strip to get ready for this.
• 10:14
  Dayna Roselli: Well, you just read about it on Twitter, because you know, Twitter's a place where everyone goes to complain.
• 10:18
  Dayna Roselli: True.
• 10:19
  Dayna Roselli: And so if you want to know what's going on where people are complaining and bitching and moaning, go to Twitter.
• 10:26
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, everyone's complaining about the traffic and the shutdowns, all to build this stage that is sitting on top of the Bellagio fountains, which is super cool, and I'm all for.
• 10:38
  Sean McAllister: I mean, that's gonna be a great visual.
• 10:40
  Sean McAllister: Obviously, this is a made-for-tv event.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 10:44
  Sean McAllister: And if you're having it in Las Vegas, you want to have cool TV backdrops, and there's no cooler backdrop than the Bellagio Fountains.
• 10:52
  Sean McAllister: Exactly.
• 10:53
  Dayna Roselli: But I'll play the devil's advocate.
• 10:55
  Dayna Roselli: Folks are chiming in saying, we just built a brand new gorgeous stadium.
• 10:59
  Dayna Roselli: Why don't we do it in there?
• 11:01
  Dayna Roselli: Why are we clogging up traffic on the strip?
• 11:04
  Dayna Roselli: And and it's so like, you know, but um I'm I love the fountain idea because I because it has to be on the strip.
• 11:11
  Dayna Roselli: That's the thing.
• 11:11
  Dayna Roselli: The Allegiance Stadium's like one or two streets over, it's not the same.
• 11:15
  Dayna Roselli: It's gotta be on Lost, and then the fountains and it promotes tourism and all that stuff.
• 11:19
  Dayna Roselli: So I love that they're doing it.
• 11:21
  Dayna Roselli: Also, I don't work on the strip, so I guess if it clogged up my commute for like a week and a half or two weeks, I might be a little more annoyed.
• 11:28
  Sean McAllister: That is true.
• 11:29
  Dayna Roselli: But how pretty is that gonna be?
• 11:30
  Sean McAllister: It's gonna be gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous.
• 11:33
  Dayna Roselli: And you're gonna be probably working the red carpet for the show Vegas on.
• 11:36
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 11:36
  Dayna Roselli: Uh sometimes those things pan out at the last minute, but you're on the schedule to do that, and so we'll hear how it goes next weekend.
• 11:43
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, so it'll be cool to be down there, see it in person, uh, be a part of all of the excitement and the hype that goes into the NFL draft, and you know, see a lot of these fresh young faces that are entering the league.
• 11:56
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and something I was looking up when I was looking at all the details for the weekend, and I said to you, gosh, this is really cool.
• 12:03
  Dayna Roselli: The NFL experience that's happening right like kind of in the parking lot behind the High Roller and by behind the Link Promenade, right near the Caesars Forum, um, is a whole free experience.
• 12:16
  Dayna Roselli: So like families and and whoever adults can go out there and experience this entire section full of like games and player autographs and different kinds of, I'm sure, experiences and food and all that, but it's a whole thing, and it's I think all three days and it's free.
• 12:34
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and they're gonna be having uh viewing parties out there for the actual draft.
• 12:39
  Sean McAllister: So if you're you know not standing down by the Bellagio fountains, which most people will not get a good spot if you try and take it in in person, and plus you probably won't really be able to hear that well and see what's going on.
• 12:53
  Sean McAllister: So the best place to be is over at Caesars Forum.
• 12:56
  Sean McAllister: That's their big convention center that they built there behind the the high roller, that big Ferris wheel looking thing, although it's officially an observation.
• 13:07
  Sean McAllister: Don't call it a Ferris wheel.
• 13:08
  Sean McAllister: I just slapped my own hand.
• 13:09
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 13:10
  Sean McAllister: Uh so over at Caesars Forum, they have the stage set, they're gonna be doing presentations out there, some conversations with players, they'll have a big screen for viewing parties, among the other interactive activities that they've got going on.
• 13:26
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, it sounds amazing.
• 13:27
  Dayna Roselli: And uh it's gonna be packed, and gosh, we are just booming here in Vegas.
• 13:31
  Dayna Roselli: Every week something ends, and then it's like something else is coming in like another week and a half.
• 13:36
  Dayna Roselli: That's like a huge event.
• 13:36
  Dayna Roselli: We just got done with the Grammys, the ACM awards.
• 13:40
  Sean McAllister: And BTS.
• 13:41
  Dayna Roselli: BTS has been here for two weekends, and there's Backstreet Boys.
• 13:45
  Dayna Roselli: It's just crazy, like at all these major, major events that are bringing in so many people, and now we've got the NFL draft.
• 13:51
  Dayna Roselli: So moving right along, and we love it, definitely.
• 13:55
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, something else that was you know a little bit closer to our heart is the killers.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_02: Ugh.
• 14:00
  Dayna Roselli: You know, because they are from Las Vegas, people love them.
• 14:02
  Dayna Roselli: We've seen them, I mean, you know, many, many times.
• 14:05
  Dayna Roselli: I remember watching them in the parking lot of the Hard Rock Hotel.
• 14:08
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 14:09
  Dayna Roselli: In uh a kind of they kind of just built that, right?
• 14:12
  Sean McAllister: It was put up a stage in the parking lot.
• 14:14
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, back in the day.
• 14:16
  Dayna Roselli: And they've grown and people love them.
• 14:18
  Dayna Roselli: And they did a special show over at the Chelsea Theater at the Cosmopolitan.
• 14:22
  Dayna Roselli: They had one night scheduled, then they just they you know, sold so many tickets they just had to keep adding.
• 14:26
  Dayna Roselli: So they did three nights, they were all sold out.
• 14:29
  Dayna Roselli: Loved watching everyone's pictures and videos, and you and I were like super busy, as we said, April's been crazy, so we couldn't get to that, but people just raved about it.
• 14:38
  Sean McAllister: And I the sure sign that there is demand in Las Vegas for the hometown band, The Killers.
• 14:45
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, uh I saw multiple people uh who we who we know who were there all three nights.
• 14:55
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, like this was an event that they were not going to miss every single night.
• 15:01
  Sean McAllister: They needed to be there, take in these special performances because the killers really don't play here all that often.
• 15:07
  Sean McAllister: So it is special to be there in person and see them, especially since there are so many people who've uh been around Las Vegas a long time and have known the killers since they were playing bars, you know, like small, tiny, intimate bars and venues.
• 15:27
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 15:28
  Sean McAllister: And before they really hit it big on the national scene, people have been following the band and you know, have that really cool connection.
• 15:36
  Sean McAllister: And Brandon Flowers, actually, I did see a video.
• 15:39
  Sean McAllister: Uh Brandon Flowers, the lead singer of The Killers.
• 15:43
  Sean McAllister: He was talking with the crowd and he said, You know what?
• 15:46
  Sean McAllister: He was like, I can't even put into words how special it is for us to feel so welcomed and so at home when we're on stage.
• 15:56
  Sean McAllister: And he was looking out at the hometown crowd, and he was like, You guys are doing that for us right now.
• 16:02
  Sean McAllister: He was like, That that's can't even find words for it.
• 16:05
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 16:06
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it's a it's a special time for them.
• 16:08
  Dayna Roselli: And um, I think we had also mentioned in the past they're doing arena shows and they're coming to T Mole Arena, but this theater, it's just such a more of an intimate experience.
• 16:16
  Dayna Roselli: So I think more people wanted to be at this that live here locally, without a doubt, than going to the even the arena show.
• 16:23
  Dayna Roselli: So um, switching gears a bit, uh, how was your birthday?
• 16:26
  Dayna Roselli: We're gonna talk about where you went to dinner on your birthday in your tips.
• 16:30
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 16:31
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 16:31
  Dayna Roselli: But we also, the night before your birthday, we went over to visit Green Valley Ranch.
• 16:36
  Dayna Roselli: I know it's one of your favorite hotspots.
• 16:38
  Dayna Roselli: It is.
• 16:38
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it's a station casino, and we went to the Spring at the Terrace.
• 16:44
  Dayna Roselli: And it's kind of like a pop-up.
• 16:45
  Dayna Roselli: They do a lot of different things like that at all the station casino properties.
• 16:49
  Dayna Roselli: You know, Red Rock's had many times different pop-ups during the holidays and during the spring, and um, but uh Green Valley Ranch has been doing the same thing.
• 16:57
  Dayna Roselli: They did something in the fall, and now they have spring at the terrace, and we figured let's go like have a little, you know, kind of more of a hang where we can all catch up, have some drinks, but be able to hear each other, sit outside because the weather's perfect this time of year, and we loved it.
• 17:12
  Sean McAllister: And it was so cute.
• 17:14
  Sean McAllister: So out on the terrace that overlooks the beautiful pool over at Green Valley Ranch, and they have uh like grapevines, they have their own little uh vineyard.
• 17:24
  Sean McAllister: I guess it's not a vineyard, they're not like producing wine, but they have uh sure it looks like it.
• 17:29
  Sean McAllister: They have vines, you know, grape vines out there, um, and it overlooks the view.
• 17:35
  Sean McAllister: You can see the Las Vegas Strip, the skyline in the in the distance.
• 17:40
  Sean McAllister: Um, but it was just such a cute setting.
• 17:44
  Sean McAllister: They had these greenhouses built, and we were sitting in one of the greenhouses, and it was a cute little setting with flowers and topiary dogs and uh lanterns and lights and flowers.
• 17:58
  Sean McAllister: It was just it was a pretty, I don't know, kind of mystical setting.
• 18:02
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it was.
• 18:03
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, we posted some pictures of the drinks that we had and stuff.
• 18:05
  Dayna Roselli: Everyone's asking about them.
• 18:07
  Dayna Roselli: What's in that?
• 18:07
  Dayna Roselli: That looks so cute.
• 18:08
  Dayna Roselli: Are you drinking that out of a pot?
• 18:09
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it's like it looks like a little potted like a flower pot.
• 18:12
  Dayna Roselli: Like a flower pot.
• 18:13
  Dayna Roselli: And so we were like, this is such a cute spring idea, right?
• 18:16
  Dayna Roselli: Why not?
• 18:16
  Dayna Roselli: But you gotta get the kinds that don't have the holes on the bottom, because you know a lot of the pots.
• 18:20
  Dayna Roselli: You do.
• 18:20
  Sean McAllister: That was the first thing I looked at.
• 18:22
  Sean McAllister: I was like, wait a second, flower pots have holes in the bottom.
• 18:25
  Dayna Roselli: Because you uh me and your friend Gretchen were saying these are so cute, we should just buy some and put, you know, that's such a great well, no, because when you buy them at like Home Depot and stuff, they have the holes in the bottom.
• 18:33
  Dayna Roselli: So you gotta, I don't know, find a way to maybe put some tape over it and and or hot glue.
• 18:38
  Dayna Roselli: Or hot glue or something.
• 18:40
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 18:41
  Dayna Roselli: So or buy the kinds that are specifically for cooking.
• 18:43
  Dayna Roselli: Very true.
• 18:44
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 18:44
  Sean McAllister: But yeah, they're served with edible flowers as garnish, and the drinks were delicious.
• 18:48
  Dayna Roselli: They were delicious.
• 18:49
  Dayna Roselli: Very refreshing, the one that I had.
• 18:51
  Dayna Roselli: And it was we have the menu, and someone had asked me, you know, what's in this, what's in that?
• 18:55
  Dayna Roselli: I'm like, I knew because it was a it was a menu full of different kinds of cocktails, and I would never remember.
• 19:00
  Dayna Roselli: But the one that is in the potted flower pot is called down to earth.
• 19:06
  Dayna Roselli: That's what it was, and it had all sorts of like um different kinds of things in it.
• 19:10
  Dayna Roselli: It had lemon, cucumber tonic, it had violet, lemongrass vodka, blackberry vodka, so infused, all sorts of different stuff.
• 19:20
  Dayna Roselli: There's a whole menu.
• 19:21
  Dayna Roselli: Go check it out.
• 19:22
  Dayna Roselli: It's called the the Spring at the Terrace at Green Valley Ranch.
• 19:26
  Sean McAllister: And then I got a flight of uh Prosecco and Rose.
• 19:30
  Sean McAllister: And that came uh kind of on a spiral tower of flowers, and it had these little arms sticking out to hold the glasses.
• 19:40
  Sean McAllister: Really cute presentation.
• 19:42
  Sean McAllister: Definitely, if uh you're in town and you have some evenings free, head out to uh Green Valley Ranch over on the east side of town in Henderson uh and hit up Spring at the Terrace.
• 19:55
  Dayna Roselli: And uh FYI, if you want to see what Sean's talking about, the rose flight and the drinks we're talking about, we have a whole montage on our TikTok.
• 20:05
  Dayna Roselli: Vegas revealed on TikTok.
• 20:08
  Sean McAllister: And another whimsical environment on the strip is going to be at Vanderpump a Paris.
• 20:14
  Sean McAllister: This is Lisa Vanderpump's new uh restaurant drink spot over at Paris, Las Vegas.
• 20:20
  Dayna Roselli: And when you walk by the one at Caesars, it does, you know, like you're saying, it kind of reminds you of spring in the terrace, right?
• 20:26
  Dayna Roselli: It does.
• 20:27
  Dayna Roselli: But I don't know what the one at Paris looks like yet.
• 20:29
  Dayna Roselli: So you and I are going to the opening.
• 20:30
  Dayna Roselli: It's supposed to be a star-studded event.
• 20:32
  Dayna Roselli: I know there's a lot of like talk about who's gonna be there, but we won't talk about that again until next week, because we're gonna go in a couple days here, and we'll roll that into our palms episode, let you know who was there, what kind of you know, things we heard, what it looks like inside, because it's a very, very popular spot at Caesars Palace, and we know that the one at Paris is gonna be just as popular, yes, especially for tourists.
• 20:57
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and Lisa Vanderpump knows what she's doing when she opens restaurants, so that'll be fun to be over there.
• 21:03
  Sean McAllister: Uh, let's switch back to music a little bit.
• 21:06
  Sean McAllister: Uh, Journey.
• 21:07
  Sean McAllister: We've had Journey perform here in Las Vegas many times.
• 21:11
  Sean McAllister: They performed over at the Hard Rock when it was the Hard Rock, and then uh they kind of recently performed over at Virgin at the theater at Virgin Hotels.
• 21:23
  Sean McAllister: Now they're moving venues.
• 21:25
  Sean McAllister: Journey has announced an exclusive Las Vegas show featuring a special symphony orchestra performance, which is pretty cool.
• 21:35
  Sean McAllister: I've never seen Journey with anybody else but Journey.
• 21:40
  Sean McAllister: So having an entire symphony orchestra to perform with them should be a really interesting experience.
• 21:47
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, that new theater at Resorts World is state of the art.
• 21:50
  Dayna Roselli: I wonder if you know people are wanting to get in there and like let's try something different because they have so many bells and whistles to play with.
• 21:56
  Dayna Roselli: That's true.
• 21:57
  Dayna Roselli: So I love that.
• 21:58
  Dayna Roselli: We talked about um, was it the E?
• 22:00
  Dayna Roselli: That are coming to do a special.
• 22:02
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, they're playing their Hotel California album.
• 22:05
  Dayna Roselli: Right, and they were doing and I think they were gonna have some extras too, an extra instrument section or something like that.
• 22:10
  Dayna Roselli: So I love that people are are changing it up.
• 22:12
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, Journey's gonna be over there at the Resorts World Theater.
• 22:15
  Dayna Roselli: It'll be July 15th, 16th, 22nd, and 23rd.
• 22:19
  Dayna Roselli: Uh they have a limited number of VIP ticket packages available, and everything's on sale as of April 22nd.
• 22:26
  Dayna Roselli: If you want to go check out Journey at Resorts World, I love that.
• 22:29
  Sean McAllister: And they're great.
• 22:31
  Sean McAllister: Uh, totally different from Journey, RuPaul's Drag Race.
• 22:35
  Sean McAllister: That's the hit reality show where drag queens go head to head to try and become the best drag queen of the season.
• 22:42
  Sean McAllister: Uh, the finale of that show uh filmed right here in Las Vegas on the strip at Flamingo, Las Vegas.
• 22:50
  Sean McAllister: Of course, that's also where RuPaul's Drag Race Live, the ongoing resident stage show, is performed.
• 22:57
  Sean McAllister: And uh so we had some pretty big star power in the drag queen world here in Las Vegas for the finale.
• 23:06
  Dayna Roselli: So when they shoot the finale, have they aired the finale or they just shot it already?
• 23:10
  Sean McAllister: So by the time people are listening to this, you will probably know who the winner is.
• 23:16
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, got it.
• 23:17
  Dayna Roselli: So that makes sense.
• 23:18
  Dayna Roselli: So it's it's close to the date, it's not like shot way, way, way in advance.
• 23:22
  Sean McAllister: Uh a couple weeks in advance, I guess.
• 23:25
  Sean McAllister: Or a week or so in advance, but I've uh read that they while they're filming that they uh film it so that each of the drag queens is the winner.
• 23:41
  Sean McAllister: So it narrows down to the final like two or three.
• 23:45
  Sean McAllister: Okay, and they film alternate endings.
• 23:47
  Sean McAllister: Oh nobody really knows who wins until the episode airs.
• 23:51
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, interesting.
• 23:52
  Sean McAllister: I like the drag queen, like they have to film their their winning moment like they won, and then their competitor goes up, films their winning moment like they won.
• 24:06
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 24:06
  Sean McAllister: And then it's not until the episode airs that people find out which ending is the real ending.
• 24:13
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 24:14
  Sean McAllister: Which is a good way to do it.
• 24:15
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it's a great way to do it for the live audience that's there, that keeps them guessing as well.
• 24:21
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, so there's a live audience.
• 24:23
  Dayna Roselli: I don't watch it often, but listen, there are die hard fans, and people watch it all over the world.
• 24:28
  Dayna Roselli: One of the biggest shows on TV.
• 24:30
  Dayna Roselli: I had people texting me, like, what do you know about the finale being shot at the flamingos?
• 24:35
  Dayna Roselli: When, where, what time?
• 24:36
  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, listen, I know it's being done, but I don't know when, where, and what time.
• 24:41
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and I didn't want just random people showing up, so and saying, Oh, Roselli sent me.
• 24:46
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I know it's it's a big deal.
• 24:48
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and we're happy to have the show here in Las Vegas and given us publicity.
• 24:53
  Dayna Roselli: So one of the biggest shows on TV again, shot the finale live from Las Vegas, and that is awesome.
• 25:00
  Sean McAllister: And by the way, uh, mentioned RuPaul's Drag Race Live, the stage production that's held here in Las Vegas.
• 25:06
  Sean McAllister: Uh, two new queens are headed into that production.
• 25:10
  Sean McAllister: They've kind of developed this system of rotating the cast.
• 25:14
  Sean McAllister: So Ginger Minge is going to be the special guest host.
• 25:19
  Sean McAllister: Ginger Minge, you may know from RuPaul's Drag Race and All-Stars.
• 25:24
  Sean McAllister: Um, she is going to be in the show for five weeks only from April 28th to June 6th.
• 25:31
  Sean McAllister: I will be making a point to go over for that because Ginger Minge is hilarious.
• 25:35
  Sean McAllister: Okay.
• 25:35
  Sean McAllister: Also, Jasmine Kennedy is going to be a special guest performer in the show for one month only from April 24th to May 23rd.
• 25:44
  Sean McAllister: So there's always a reason to go back and see RuPaul's Drag Race live as the cast of drag queens continues to evolve.
• 25:53
  Sean McAllister: Again, that's over at Flamingo, Las Vegas.
• 25:56
  Dayna Roselli: All right, let's get to some tips.
• 26:02
  Dayna Roselli: All right, Sean, let's start with your tip, and it's a visit to Carver Steak at Resorts World.
• 26:08
  Dayna Roselli: I had told you I looped through and just gave it a once-over look, but that we had planned on going there eventually.
• 26:13
  Dayna Roselli: And so you made it a birthday event and went there on your birthday with some friends and your husband.
• 26:19
  Dayna Roselli: How was it?
• 26:20
  Sean McAllister: It was delicious.
• 26:21
  Sean McAllister: First of all, the atmosphere in there is kind of like a swanky kind of a 1950s retro steakhouse-y kind of vibe.
• 26:32
  Sean McAllister: I don't know if though that's exactly what they were going for, but that's how I explain it.
• 26:37
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 26:37
  Sean McAllister: Um, but it was just really nice, like dark blues and gold, and it was a great vibe in there.
• 26:45
  Sean McAllister: And uh the servers outfits, their jackets and their suits, loved those too.
• 26:50
  Sean McAllister: Almost like a green, like an aqua green color.
• 26:55
  Sean McAllister: And like almost a tuxedo jacket.
• 26:57
  Sean McAllister: Super classy.
• 26:59
  Sean McAllister: The food was delicious.
• 27:02
  Sean McAllister: Was it?
• 27:03
  Sean McAllister: So we started out by getting uh Wagyu beef sliders, and it's not like a burger slider.
• 27:09
  Sean McAllister: So these were kind of um almost like a uh a roast beef sandwich kind of thing.
• 27:16
  Sean McAllister: So the wagyu beef was thin shaved and then topped with like this uh delicious cheese sauce and served on these almost like a miniature toasted hoagie roll.
• 27:31
  Sean McAllister: Freaking phenomenal.
• 27:32
  Sean McAllister: I could have eaten uh 30 of those things.
• 27:35
  Dayna Roselli: That's easy to do.
• 27:36
  Sean McAllister: They were delicious.
• 27:37
  Sean McAllister: Uh then I ended up getting uh jumbo prawn cocktail, shrimp cocktail, which was fabulous.
• 27:46
  Sean McAllister: Uh and then I think I ended up getting a ribeye, which was also delicious.
• 27:54
  Sean McAllister: Um, and the sides, the mac and cheese, so yummy.
• 27:58
  Sean McAllister: Uh the Brussels sprouts, delicious.
• 28:02
  Sean McAllister: And there was one other side that we got.
• 28:04
  Sean McAllister: They have uh loaded baked loaded potato uh crustinies or I forget what they croquettes.
• 28:15
  SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
• 28:15
  Sean McAllister: So it almost looked like a a mozzarella, a really fat mozzarella stick.
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 28:20
  Sean McAllister: And it was filled with mashed potato and all the fixins.
• 28:23
  Sean McAllister: So the sour cream, like all the bacon in there, the cheese, all of that's mixed in and then breaded, a quick deep fry, and oh, it's just such a good bite, and there's a yummy sauce uh served on the side.
• 28:38
  Dayna Roselli: So uh how is the pricing?
• 28:40
  Dayna Roselli: Um, because all that sounds amazing, but is it is it, you know, should you plan to spend a lot of money just to give people an idea because they like to know, well, is it expensive?
• 28:49
  Dayna Roselli: You should plan a healthy budget.
• 28:50
  Sean McAllister: I mean, it's a it's a nice d upscale steakhouse.
• 28:55
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 28:56
  Sean McAllister: Um, so definitely plan for that.
• 28:58
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so a little bit, you know, adds up.
• 29:01
  Sean McAllister: Although I did go online and look, and it I do believe that they have a prefix menu online, and that was like$90 per person.
• 29:11
  Sean McAllister: Um, and that in you know, a multi-course menu.
• 29:15
  Sean McAllister: So, you know, if that gives you an idea.
• 29:17
  Dayna Roselli: Sure.
• 29:18
  Dayna Roselli: Um were you underwhelmed by anything?
• 29:20
  Dayna Roselli: Was there any like out of all that, you're like, ah, you don't really need to order the Brussels sprouts, get this instead, or anything like that.
• 29:27
  Dayna Roselli: I'm putting you on the spot, but just trying to think like when people go, is there like, okay, I Sean said this wasn't the best, but definitely get this.
• 29:35
  Dayna Roselli: Um or did you just love it all?
• 29:37
  Dayna Roselli: Because I mean there that that could be the case too at a good restaurant.
• 29:40
  Sean McAllister: No, I I really enjoyed everything, everything that we got.
• 29:43
  Sean McAllister: And um the one thing I will say is that their portions are I mean, they're pretty decent-sized portion.
• 29:53
  Sean McAllister: I had to bring half of my steak home.
• 29:56
  Sean McAllister: Okay, and we still had some sides left over, too.
• 29:58
  Sean McAllister: So that ended up being dinner the next night.
• 30:02
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 30:02
  Sean McAllister: And okay, here's another tip for you.
• 30:04
  Sean McAllister: If you're reheating a steak, uh like a leftover from a nice restaurant like that, I looked up how to do it.
• 30:12
  Sean McAllister: Oh so you uh preheat the oven to 250, keep the put the meat in there on a wire tray that's on a baking sheet until the middle of the meat gets to 100 degrees, and then take the meat out of the oven, put it uh put it in a hot skillet to really get the outsides nice and re-seared and crusted up again.
• 30:40
  Sean McAllister: It was perfect.
• 30:41
  Sean McAllister: Oh, good.
• 30:42
  Sean McAllister: The middle was still nice and juicy, it wasn't overcooked, crispy on the outside, so that's how to reheat a steak from a nice steakhouse.
• 30:50
  Dayna Roselli: That's a good tip.
• 30:51
  Dayna Roselli: That was a good one.
• 30:52
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my gosh.
• 30:53
  Sean McAllister: The other thing that I will say was really cool about Carver is that when your uh main dish does come, they bring over a box of knives that you choose from, all these different steak knives, and you get to choose your weapon.
• 31:08
  Sean McAllister: That's what it says inside the box.
• 31:09
  Sean McAllister: Choose your weapon, and then you dig into your meal.
• 31:13
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, I love that.
• 31:14
  Dayna Roselli: That's a great, great, that's a great little added bonus, you know, and the it's part of the experience.
• 31:18
  Dayna Roselli: You've got to try different things.
• 31:20
  Dayna Roselli: And we talk about Carver because it was a highly anticipated restaurant there at Resorts World.
• 31:23
  Dayna Roselli: Resorts World has a lot of restaurants, but not tons.
• 31:26
  Dayna Roselli: You know, there's Wally's and there's a Mexican restaurant, which is great, and then there's also an Asian restaurant, which is amazing, and then there's a couple other Asian restaurants in sushi, and then they have the the food court, but there's not a lot of main anchor.
• 31:38
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, and then of course there's Bresa for the uh Italian restaurant.
• 31:43
  Dayna Roselli: But I and I know it sounds like there's a lot, but for a huge mega resort, uh, we've been waiting for more restaurants to open.
• 31:50
  Sean McAllister: By the way, I meant to mention this to you, Dana.
• 31:52
  Sean McAllister: The place we went to lunch, I forget what it's called.
• 31:54
  Sean McAllister: It's right across from Doghouse.
• 31:57
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, yeah, that closed a while ago.
• 31:59
  Sean McAllister: Yes, when I was walking by, it's totally gutted right now.
• 32:02
  Dayna Roselli: Resort's world regularly.
• 32:03
  Dayna Roselli: Well, I know.
• 32:04
  Sean McAllister: It's totally gutted right now.
• 32:06
  Sean McAllister: They have the construction wall up, and there was an announcement about what's coming next.
• 32:11
  Sean McAllister: And for the life of me, I can't think about it now, so I'll have to go back and report back.
• 32:16
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 32:17
  Dayna Roselli: Well, that's good to know.
• 32:18
  Dayna Roselli: Something else has come in there.
• 32:19
  Dayna Roselli: There was a cute spot, and sometimes you open a resort, things just don't work out, or you know, you're like, I don't know, we need to tweak some things.
• 32:26
  Dayna Roselli: So expected, right?
• 32:28
  Sean McAllister: Uh, your tip this week, Dana, there's a been a lot of chatter about a story, and you've got some details.
• 32:34
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I mean, it's not I don't have tons of details, but I have details about, first of all, a land purchase on the strip because people are constantly asking, when are we gonna see some activity on this plot of land, or blah, blah, blah.
• 32:44
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and then I've got a little bit of inside info that doesn't really offer any info, if that makes sense.
• 32:51
  Sean McAllister: Got it.
• 32:52
  Dayna Roselli: So the Siegel Group, um, they operate the deli that I go to often now because it's brand new.
• 32:59
  Dayna Roselli: It's in Central Vegas.
• 33:00
  Dayna Roselli: I live near there.
• 33:01
  Dayna Roselli: It's called Bagel Mania, and it's right there on Convention Center Drive.
• 33:06
  Dayna Roselli: And they just bought some land right across from Resorts World to the north of the wind and kind of behind the peppermill diner.
• 33:15
  Dayna Roselli: Now, that's kind of in the vicinity of where Bagelmania is.
• 33:19
  Dayna Roselli: So they purchased the land for a big price,$75 million, apparently.
• 33:24
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 33:25
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, um, folks were wondering, well, what are they gonna build there?
• 33:28
  Dayna Roselli: You know, it's a big like, is it gonna be a restaurant, a hotel?
• 33:31
  Dayna Roselli: And apparently they're looking at a lot of different concepts and things like that, but they wanted to get their hands on that land.
• 33:37
  Dayna Roselli: Now, people that go to the pepper mill were apparently walking out, saw the sign that the land was well.
• 33:42
  Dayna Roselli: So they were all thinking that peppermill was gonna close.
• 33:45
  Dayna Roselli: Pepper Mill gets on and tweets and says, no, no, we signed like a, I think they said we're here for at least another 10 years.
• 33:51
  Dayna Roselli: We signed a long contract, we're good to go.
• 33:53
  Dayna Roselli: People were relieved.
• 33:55
  Dayna Roselli: But I was at Bagel Mania recently, and I saw some of the family members, and I said, I heard you bought the land.
• 34:01
  Dayna Roselli: What are you gonna build?
• 34:02
  Dayna Roselli: And so I don't really have insider information.
• 34:05
  Dayna Roselli: I gotta, ooh, just wait and see.
• 34:08
  Dayna Roselli: So I was hopeful that it's gonna be something exciting, but that's about all I got.
• 34:12
  Dayna Roselli: But I thought it was an interesting, you know, nugget because there's land around there that the the old area where um the wet and wild used to sit on the strip.
• 34:20
  Dayna Roselli: There's an area that's empty right across from me and just to the south of the Sahara where the Allnet Arena is apparently gonna be built.
• 34:27
  Dayna Roselli: But until those things start happening, there is a lot of space in the north end of the strip.
• 34:32
  Dayna Roselli: And now that the Fountain Blue is going up and gonna be finished, is gonna, I should say, be topped off and finished, and the resorts world is there now.
• 34:40
  Dayna Roselli: I think people are looking to fill in those holes.
• 34:42
  Dayna Roselli: So we have hope.
• 34:43
  Sean McAllister: Great, yes.
• 34:44
  Sean McAllister: I am all for the the future of the north end of the strip.
• 34:49
  Sean McAllister: I'm excited about that.
• 34:50
  Sean McAllister: Fountain blue is going to be gorgeous and beautiful when that opens.
• 34:54
  Sean McAllister: That'll be a great addition.
• 34:55
  Sean McAllister: And you know, if we have another arena up there, Dana, uh we're gonna be pre-gaming at your place and just walking over.
• 35:02
  Dayna Roselli: Seriously.
• 35:02
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, I'm gonna have a lot of action.
• 35:04
  Dayna Roselli: I'm gonna have to deal with the uh what do you call it, the construction as it starts.
• 35:09
  Dayna Roselli: But uh but it should be fun.
• 35:11
  Dayna Roselli: Um, we need to go because we're going to the new Lake of Dreams at the win.
• 35:15
  Dayna Roselli: We've got an event to get to in two hours, and I gotta go home and change.
• 35:18
  Dayna Roselli: Then uh, as Sean mentioned, we're going to uh Vanderpump's new restaurant on Thursday.
• 35:22
  Dayna Roselli: We'll be at John Legend on Friday.
• 35:24
  Dayna Roselli: I'm going to check out the pool club at Resorts World on Sunday.
• 35:28
  Dayna Roselli: Gosh, we have the palms opening on Tuesday, the NFL draft on Wednesday.
• 35:33
  Dayna Roselli: What else?
• 35:34
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, we have tons of stuff coming up, guys, that we're going to be talking about.
• 35:37
  Dayna Roselli: I'm going to a great benefit and fashion show with the win on the following Friday.
• 35:42
