• 1:28
  Dayna Roselli: And then the Friday night before I was stuck in this storm over near Tivoli Village and I have never driven in harder rain in my life, the point where I had to me and my friend had to pull over to a parking garage just to get shelter.
• 1:42
  Sean McAllister: I mean it's scary.
• 1:43
  Sean McAllister: I told you I was sitting at an intersection at a red light waiting for the green light to come and as we were sitting there, just the duration of the red light, the entire intersection filled up with water and I mean it was up to my bumper.
• 1:58
  Sean McAllister: It was getting scary watching that water rise.
• 2:01
  Sean McAllister: I was like I'm just turning because I see dry road off to my right and I'm just going to keep turning onto roads that aren't covered with water.
• 2:12

  Dayna Roselli: And there's people out there like, oh, it's raining Big deal.
• 2:27
  Dayna Roselli: You guys complain you don't have water and now you're mad that it's raining, or hey, this always happens, get used to it.

  Sean McAllister: We do.
• 2:39
  Dayna Roselli: We are happy to have the rain.

  Sean McAllister: Oh, it's been a while yeah.
• 2:53
  Dayna Roselli: Especially 2020,.

• 6:25
  Dayna Roselli: We have quickie weddings, we have A lab rat weddings, we have weddings that don't last in our know the next day.
• 6:33
  Sean McAllister: We are known for all of that here in Las Vegas we are, and we're celebrating it because it has been seventy years Since a newspaper over in London coined the phrase the wedding capital of the world in reference to Las Vegas, for all of the nuptials right that we're taking place here.
• 6:51
  Sean McAllister: So there was a big celebration down on the Las Vegas strip over at Caesar's palace and we were over there covering all of the action.
• 7:01
  Sean McAllister: There was a mass vow renewal with Like three hundred sixty something couples that all renewed their vows at once it was cool they did.
• 7:11
  Dayna Roselli: First of all, it was a lot bigger than we thought it was a production and you and I were actually there doing some paid work.
• 7:16
  Dayna Roselli: We are creating a video, and so we were there from the very start to the very end, so we got to be a part of all of it.
• 7:23
  Dayna Roselli: And that was fun.
• 7:24
  Dayna Roselli: So it started off with this brunch.
• 7:25
  Dayna Roselli: They had entertainment, they had photo displays where people can take pictures, a silent auction, and then they moved this whole group of the whole procession into a big, huge ballroom where they had a Specialized production show.
• 7:40
  Dayna Roselli: They had cake.
• 7:41
  Dayna Roselli: They had a Elvis and Priscilla inspired cake that was done by buddy V's buddy Carlos Baker.
• 7:48
  Dayna Roselli: Carlos bakery which buddy V is behind, and that was really cool because they were also celebrating all the different celebrities that have gotten married here through the years and that's the one of the most iconic, obviously weddings and photographs out there yeah, I mean, and that's a six tier wedding cake.
• 8:05
  Sean McAllister: So there was, you know, this replica cake that was inspired by Elvis and Priscilla's cake.
• 8:10
  Sean McAllister: It was very intricately designed.
• 8:13
  Sean McAllister: Six tiers, that was Big cake yeah, it was beautiful.
• 8:17
  Dayna Roselli: Everyone wanted their picture with it and got it.
• 8:20
  Dayna Roselli: So it was.
• 8:21
  Dayna Roselli: It was a great event.
• 8:22
  Dayna Roselli: The production show was great.
• 8:23
  Dayna Roselli: We have so many talented people that live here in Las Vegas and perform in Las Vegas and I love that they.
• 8:29
  Dayna Roselli: They took a large group of them and had them sing a song from the different eras because they knew that all the people that were there getting their vow renewals, they had been married in Las Vegas at some point.
• 8:40
  Dayna Roselli: Some were older, some were younger, some were Middle Ages, so they wanted to hit like the love songs of all the eras and I thought that was cool.
• 8:46
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, so the the production show kind of started with the music of the 50s and then moved through the decades up to up to now.
• 8:54
  Sean McAllister: So that was it was a great idea.
• 8:56
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it really was love Bill medley doing that duet, with and his iconic song.
• 9:01
  Dayna Roselli: I had the time of my life from dirty dancing.
• 9:03
  Dayna Roselli: So that was great, Great show.
• 9:05
  Dayna Roselli: But you know what?
• 9:06
  Dayna Roselli: We also talked to some couples and you know Something that we really learned from interviewing some of the couples is that Vegas For some people it was the first thought that they had.
• 9:16
  Dayna Roselli: For others it was if something didn't work out the way they planned and they just wanted to be married and have that moment.
• 9:24
  Dayna Roselli: A lot of times People would just say what about Vegas?
• 9:27
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, vegas comes to the rescue.
• 9:29
  Sean McAllister: And that was exactly the case for Bishop and Erica Michaels.
• 9:33
  Sean McAllister: They're from Atlanta, they planned an entire wedding, but then Something got in the way.
• 9:39
  Sean McAllister: Listen to their story.
• 9:41
  Yes, we got married in Vegas.
• 9:42
  Interesting story though, we're supposed to be gotten married on a cruise ship.
• 9:45
  Two weeks before our wedding on the cruise ship, they called us because of COVID and said that it was canceled.
• 9:52
  So, erica, go, you go ahead, baby.
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: So actually, let's get it right.
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: They were avoiding us for two weeks.
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: Then they tell us four days beforehand that the wedding was canceled.
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: That's right.
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: So we're trying to figure out what we're gonna do next, because we get all this stuff customized for January 2nd 2022.
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: He was like, well, maybe we just do it next year, not just busted out crying.
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: I just like, you know, we got this customized runner for the, for the walkway, and just glasses and everything.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: So it's like so he's a.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: He saw me, he took one.
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: Look.
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: He's like what about Vegas?
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: Because Vegas has everything organized.
• 10:30
  Dayna Roselli: You can have a wedding very quickly very organized.
• 10:34
  So she was.
• 10:34
  Tears stopped after that.
• 10:37
  Dayna Roselli: So Vegas came through.
• 10:39
  Yes, and I love.
• 10:40
  I love anniversaries.
• 10:41
  We were gonna have a wedding anniversary every year on a cruise ship, but it ended up being better because of Vegas.
• 10:47
  You can always Spurred a moment, fly to Vegas and there's always fun.
• 10:52
  And so every year we're gonna do a wedding anniversary in Vegas.
• 10:56
  Dayna Roselli: Love their story.
• 10:57
  Dayna Roselli: Listen.
• 10:57
  Dayna Roselli: She had that customized runner.
• 10:59
  Dayna Roselli: She did not want to waste it.
• 11:00
  Sean McAllister: I mean, if you already got the stuff, don't let it go just sit in the trash, use it.
• 11:06
  Dayna Roselli: And you know that's a woman's mind thinking right, we've got a plan, We've got a plan.
• 11:10
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, we also talked to Chris and Jessica from Park City, utah, and they were dressed to the nines and they really, you know, embraced the Vegas wedding.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: I think just you know, I always I've been in a lot of traditional weddings and I just always feel like weddings should be fun, a celebration, and I think Vegas is that like ultimate place, like Vegas is where you come to celebrate, it's just a really fun place.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: So that really made it a great decision for us.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: And she was the one that actually said it first.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: She said you know, if I ever got married, I'd like to get married by Elvis in Vegas.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: And I said you know what I could do?
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: That and that was the start of it, because where else can you get driven in in the pink Cadillac to your wedding instead of having to walk down the aisle?
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: It was just a lot of fun.
• 11:48
  Dayna Roselli: How was it experiencing?
• 11:49
  Dayna Roselli: It was it was fun.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: It blew people's minds, our friends say is the best wedding they've ever been to.
• 11:56
  Sean McAllister: It really was such a great event.
• 11:57
  Sean McAllister: You could tell the couples had a really wonderful time at this massive vow renewal Celebration of Las Vegas is the wedding capital of the world and, by the way, lynn Goya, who is the Clark County clerk who oversees the marriage license bureau, she makes sure that Las Vegas is going to stay the wedding capital of the world.
• 12:20
  Sean McAllister: And how does she do that?
• 12:21
  Sean McAllister: Well, the marriage license bureau is open seven days a week, from 8 am To midnight, even on holidays, and there's no waiting period.
• 12:31
  Sean McAllister: You can go in, get your license, go straight to a chapel, get married and then go home.
• 12:36
  Dayna Roselli: I know it's nice and easy.
• 12:37
  Dayna Roselli: You know convenience is everything right, especially if you want to get married on a whim.
• 12:42
  Dayna Roselli: I know a lot of people who come here and just that night they're like you know what, let's go get married.
• 12:47
  Sean McAllister: Why not why?
• 12:48
  Dayna Roselli: not, I love it All right.
• 12:50
  Dayna Roselli: Well, listen, something we are also famous for is we talked a little bit about it Elvis Presley.
• 12:55
  Dayna Roselli: He, just when you think of Elvis, you do think Vegas.
• 12:57
  Dayna Roselli: He had a great run here at the international hotel which was then, or the Hilton right, which is now the Westgate, and when he performed there he lived inside the suite which is called the Elvis Presley suite now.
• 13:11
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and it's the, the penthouse, the top floor over there at the Westgate, and it's one of these skyvillas that is now a part of this themed collection of suites that the Westgate is rolling out.
• 13:25
  Sean McAllister: This one is the Marcus Clinko I can sky villa.
• 13:31
  Dayna Roselli: Sweet yeah, and it's full of Marcus clink goes photography.
• 13:34
  Dayna Roselli: He has some incredible celebrity pictures through the years, some iconic moments, and that's why they call it the icons villa.
• 13:41
  Dayna Roselli: We were able to tour around and also talk to Marcus about what he's done, marcus.
• 13:46
  Sean McAllister: we've been emailing and finally we're here to see what you put together.
• 13:51
  Sean McAllister: At the West gate is this one of the more unique A displays of your art outside of a traditional gallery setting?
• 14:01
  Markus Klinko: completely.
• 14:01
  Markus Klinko: I mean this is, you know, unheard of.
• 14:03
  Markus Klinko: I think Show to Damien Hurst that the palms, you know, I think this has never been done In the.
• 14:10
  Markus Klinko: I think in the world of photography this has never been done.
• 14:12
  Markus Klinko: This is obviously, you know, absolutely unprecedented, because it's the Elvis suite number one, number two, it's over 50 works, they're all oversized XL, you know, one of one, gold editions.
• 14:27
  Markus Klinko: So a little bit in my, in my head, the concept, like the rock and roll hall of fame, this should be these pop culture, you know, celebrity hall of fame.
• 14:39
  Markus Klinko: And I want to, number one, add more sweets with, you know, other themes, like it's going to be a new sweet, there's going to be maybe a Vega star sweet, which is, you know, maybe magicians and Tigers and you know all that stuff.
• 14:55
  Markus Klinko: And of course, I want to photograph very man alone.
• 15:01
  Markus Klinko: You know he should be obviously in here, so new and other celebrities will be inducted into this environment.
• 15:09
  Markus Klinko: That's sort of the plan, you know, as soon as possible and just keep growing.
• 15:14
  Markus Klinko: Just, I'm so in love with how it came out I could not have possibly anticipated it.
• 15:20
  Sean McAllister: And as we were walking over here, you were saying you were seeing some of these for the very first time, that with the diamond dust it's perfect.
• 15:29
  Markus Klinko: you know, I either when I see something, it's either perfect or it needs work, and I think every celebrity in this room I mean in this, in this sky villa Would be quite happy to be associated or affiliated with the legacy of Elvis, right?
• 15:45
  Markus Klinko: So, yeah, I feel incredibly excited, you know.
• 15:50
  Dayna Roselli: And even with the recent movie, I feel like people have learned more about even the current generation is learn more about what we call a residency here in Las Vegas, where you are a regular performer, and it was a big, big deal.
• 16:03
  Dayna Roselli: So I have to ask, because I know you gotta go have you felt the presence of Elvis?
• 16:09
  Markus Klinko: yes, yes first of all, you know this is.
• 16:11
  Markus Klinko: This event is hosted by the queen of Versailles, jackie Segal.
• 16:14
  Markus Klinko: She's here, she's beautiful.
• 16:16
  Markus Klinko: I will photograph her for a project very soon.
• 16:19
  Markus Klinko: And you know, as soon as I met her this afternoon for the first time in person, I said can we please call Priscilla, because why not?
• 16:29
  Markus Klinko: She supported that movie a lot.
• 16:31
  Markus Klinko: Right she was.
• 16:31
  Markus Klinko: I saw her being really excited about it and I would just love to photograph Priscilla, maybe here or somewhere.
• 16:39
  Markus Klinko: And you know, just some somehow connect to Elvis a little bit more.
• 16:44
  Markus Klinko: So do I feel the presence?
• 16:46
  Sean McAllister: yes, Well, certainly it sounds like it's a full circle moment being here, having your work in the Elvis suite.
• 16:53
  Sean McAllister: Congratulations, and I'm glad it's not going anywhere.
• 16:56
  Markus Klinko: Yes, and I want the world to see it.
• 16:58
  Markus Klinko: You know I want to have everyone.
• 17:01
  Markus Klinko: I know it's a private suite and it's very expensive to stay here, but I want, I want to be more than that.
• 17:08
  Markus Klinko: I think it's it's.
• 17:10
  Markus Klinko: It's fair that the world could possibly see it, because it's about inspiring and, you know, elevating and give people something fun after after COVID and all the divisions in our country and all that, it's kind of nice to see beauty and as a society we kind of worship celebrity, right.
• 17:29
  Markus Klinko: So it's also sort of like social commentary, my sort of my artist statement.
• 17:34
  Markus Klinko: I'm not judging it, I'm not saying it's good or it's bad, but it's a fact.
• 17:38
  Markus Klinko: Kim Kardashian is our goddess, right, and so, or Beyonce or you know, and so it's kind of a commentary to that and everyone can make their own decisions.
• 17:50
  Dayna Roselli: And all of them have spent plenty of time in Vegas.
• 17:51
  Dayna Roselli: So Well, you know, and they will thank you.
