  Dayna Roselli: We'll have that coming up, but first we want to talk NASCAR because we went up to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and we talked with the brand new senior VP and general manager.
• 4:17
  Dayna Roselli: His name is Patrick Lindsay, and he is really excited about this upcoming race.
• 4:21
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, as are a lot of NASCAR fans.
• 4:24
  Sean McAllister: It's always exciting when NASCAR comes to town.
• 4:27
  Sean McAllister: Uh, historically, uh, the weekend has brought in as many as a hundred thousand race fans.
• 4:34
  Sean McAllister: So that just shows the the power and pull of NASCAR.
• 4:39
  Sean McAllister: As a matter of fact, I believe uh they were talking while we were up at the Speedway about a new uh series on Netflix that they're really hoping is going to uh push a whole bunch of new energy into NASCAR and develop new NASCAR fans as well, kind of like with the F1 movie.
• 4:59
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 4:59
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, that's great when you can get something like that, right?
• 5:01
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it really does help because people do get interested, they learn more, they want to know more.
• 5:06
  Dayna Roselli: So we've been to the race many times.
• 5:08
  Dayna Roselli: It is so much fun up there at the Las Vegas uh motor speedway, and there is a lot to do, and we love that.
• 5:15
  Dayna Roselli: So, why don't we air the story that we ran in our TV show with the general manager and new senior VP, as we mentioned, talking about what they're going to do this year to make it a little bit different than years past.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_03: What's great about a sport like this is that you know your experience can be anything you really want it to be.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_03: We have experiences for families, we have experience for our campers, we have experiences for our NASCAR Ultimate fans.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_03: The experience here can really be for anyone to come out and enjoy.
• 5:46
  Sean McAllister: But don't worry, there is serious racing too.
• 5:49
  Sean McAllister: I feel like this is some of the most immersive entertainment that you can get because when those cars go by, your teeth actually rumble.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_03: I was gonna say that, yeah, you it rumbles, right?
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_03: Your insides rumble as you hear that that uh that roar of that engine.
• 6:07
  Sean McAllister: The weekend kicks off on Friday afternoon with a parade of NASCAR hauler trucks at the Speedway.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, what's better to see all these great logo trucks you know coming around the outside of the property and for all the fans to see and to be a part of?
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_03: And our fan fest on Friday from 11 to 3 is free.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_03: Uh South Point's gonna have their Clydesdales and some free beer pouring and a concert by Tim Duggar, so we're gonna have a lot of stuff going on.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_03: Friday is free.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_03: Saturday you can buy an individual ticket and you can buy individual tickets for Sunday as well.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_03: It's not just a weekend package.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_03: And if you're coming to the race with your whole family, it won't break the bank.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_03: Tickets are very affordable, and we also have some great family packages as well.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, kids can come as cheap as$10.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_03: Because also, our food partner here, our concessionaire, is gonna have value items at different concession stands, so you can come and find some very affordable food options for your family when you come here as well.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_03: The atmosphere here is so great, and it's all about the cars, right?
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_03: It's about the cars, it's about that rumble, it's about seeing these cars wrap around this track going 200 miles an hour.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_03: It's really awesome to come see, and we would encourage anyone to come out and take in the experience.
• 7:12
  Sean McAllister: Some really good deals.
• 7:14
  Sean McAllister: I mean, uh tickets as low as$10 for kids.
• 7:18
  Sean McAllister: Great.
• 7:19
  Sean McAllister: It's just such a great family option to bring your kids out there.
• 7:25
  Sean McAllister: And like uh Patrick was saying, they've got the concessions that are uh affordably priced with some packaged.
• 7:32
  Sean McAllister: Which is rare.
• 7:33
  Sean McAllister: It's very rare.
• 7:35
  Sean McAllister: But yeah, I know that they've um they're actively doing outreach, NASCAR and the Speedway to uh college students as well, having deals for college students and families, and there are there's uh pricing levels for everything from luxury all the way down to uh you know the the family packages that they have.
• 7:57
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and I think whenever we have actually gone in the past, like it's we were always commenting, like it's so organized, it's such a nice day out.
• 8:04
  Dayna Roselli: You really get to see a lot of things up close.
• 8:07
  Dayna Roselli: And I don't know, it's kind of a fun, chill but entertaining day.
• 8:12
  Dayna Roselli: It's got a little bit of everything, I guess is what I'm trying to say, you know, on site.
• 8:16
  Dayna Roselli: Don't you feel that way?
• 8:17
  Dayna Roselli: Like, I feel like a lot of times when I assumed, okay, like I've never been to NASCAR, I'm gonna go, and it's gonna be all this roaring and you know, all this stuff, and it's gonna be loud, and which it that does happen during the race, but there's a lot going on that's really fun and a little bit chill.
• 8:32
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, all the off-track entertainment, yeah, and you know, we get the flyover from Nellis Air Force Base, which is literally right next door to the Speedway.
• 8:43
  Dayna Roselli: That was so cool.
• 8:44
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it's a great experience all around.
• 8:46
  Dayna Roselli: So, okay, NASCAR weekend, October 10th, 11th, and 12th.
• 8:50
  Dayna Roselli: That's right.
• 8:51
  Dayna Roselli: Up the Speedway.
• 8:52
  Sean McAllister: Don't forget, Friday is the free day, the free uh fanzone day with that NASCAR hauler parade.
• 9:02
  Sean McAllister: So keep that in mind if you want to take the family up there.
• 9:05
  Sean McAllister: That's from 11 in the morning until three in the afternoon.
• 9:08
  Dayna Roselli: Love it.
• 9:09
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, uh, Storybook Wedding Chapel just opened, and this is by the same owners that own the Graceland Wedding Chapel, one of the oldest here in Las Vegas, if not the oldest.
• 9:20
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but Storybook just opened, and this wedding chapel is so cute.
• 9:24
  Dayna Roselli: We went up there and I love they restored this like building from 1928, and I feel like this is such a great option for people coming in to renew vows, get married, and I think it's gonna do well.
• 9:35
  Sean McAllister: Well, and I think that there's a a perception of Las Vegas wedding chapels being kind of kitschy.
• 9:43
  Sean McAllister: And Storybook is when we stepped inside.
• 9:47
  Sean McAllister: I s even think that I said to you, I was like, oh my gosh, this is so classy.
• 9:51
  Sean McAllister: It is, and so nice.
• 9:53
  Sean McAllister: So it's a great, like you said, a great option for people who are looking for a little bit of an elevated ceremony experience.
• 10:04
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it's a it's a renovated mid-century style cottage.
• 10:07
  Dayna Roselli: So imagine that.
• 10:08
  Dayna Roselli: And you can also go to our YouTube because we'll have some video up from our TV show.
• 10:12
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, but you know, it's really nice and cute.
• 10:16
  Dayna Roselli: It's it is like stepping into a storybook.
• 10:18
  Dayna Roselli: I that's why they have the named it that, I'm sure.
• 10:21
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but they have a lot of different photo ops too.
• 10:24
  Dayna Roselli: Like they have this handmade floral wall, they had this uh one-of-a-kind 60-year-old stained glass window, an outdoor garden, uh, a little gazebo out there as well.
• 10:34
  Dayna Roselli: So lots of different picture perfect spots all around.
• 10:39
  Dayna Roselli: And we did talk with uh Didi and Brendan, who own the storybook Wedding Chapel, a little bit about like why they decided to do this.
• 10:48
  Dayna Roselli: And FYI, Brendan, actually is the Elvis at Graceland Wedding Chapel.
• 10:53
  Dayna Roselli: And he's a good Elvis, he is a great Elvis, and he talked to us a little bit about the joy he gets from that.
• 10:59
  Dayna Roselli: And I think it's great that they have both options now.
• 11:02
  Dayna Roselli: So um, let's play an interview that we did with Didi and also Brendan.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_00: It's just it's so exciting.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm so busy at Graceland doing the amount of weddings.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, like I said, I've sang at we think 85,000 weddings over the years.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_00: That's a lot.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_00: Uh so I I think it's gonna be nice just to kind of have traditional weddings where I can be part of it, but not have to be in a polyester onesie, if you will.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_00: But you know, so I'm excited about that.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_00: And seeing a different clientele, maybe because over there it's rock and roll, it's fun, it's it's what people, you know, they're going crazy.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_00: And here, uh, but but that that's both ends of the spectrum of weddings, you know, what people want.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_00: So we try to say we offer this, but then oh, two two over the top, come to this chapel.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_00: You know, it's a it's a great alternative, and I'm I'm just thrilled.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_01: Every every couple already has a love story.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_01: We just want to be their next chapter.
• 11:55
  Dayna Roselli: How long did it take to restore this?
• 11:57
  Dayna Roselli: Because I know this is what a building back from 1928?
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_01: We've been working at turning this into a wedding chapel for over a year.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_01: So when we first purchased it, uh we rented it out to a wedding dress rental company.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_01: And then uh she stayed here for maybe five years, and then that's when we decided it's time, it's time to really start focusing in on the traditional ceremony or the chapel.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_01: And so um that's when it began.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_01: And so it's been a year of uh hard work, labor of love, but now it's a reality.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 12:31
  Dayna Roselli: And tell me a little bit about the vision of it.
• 12:33
  Dayna Roselli: I know you say a little bit more of a traditional, but what how do you see you know this becoming an offering in in Las Vegas?
• 12:39
  Dayna Roselli: If somebody's looking for whatever, this is the place to go.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_01: That's a great question because um, you know, I grew up in eastern Kentucky and it's always been very important to me for every bridegroom to have the wedding of their dreams.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_01: And so that is what Storybook is about.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_01: Regardless of your budget, this is the place for you.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_01: We will customize anything you want and make it special any way you want it.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_01: So uh I'm just really happy to be able to offer that service.
• 13:10
  Dayna Roselli: And you guys already own Gla Graceland.
• 13:12
  Dayna Roselli: We do.
• 13:13
  Dayna Roselli: For how long have you been?
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_01: So we've owned Graceland for over 20 years.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_01: And it is a very successful, wonderful business that that we are both proud of, Brennan and I.
• 13:22
  Dayna Roselli: And that's not going away.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_01: Oh no, that is not going away.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_01: No, it just keeps getting uh busier and busier, and we're so grateful for that.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_01: That's why it was time.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_01: It was time to do a traditional ceremony so that we can offer something different than we already offer.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_01: Elvis over there, traditional here.
• 13:40
  Dayna Roselli: And you guys have had, I know a lot of celebrities get married at Graceland too.
• 13:44
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, this is Vegas revealed, so we need to talk about it.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_01: Well, the biggest celebrity of all is John Bon Jovi.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_01: And the truth is, that is why we even own the wedding chapel.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, one day Brendan and I were trying to decide what to do for the day, and he said, Where do you want to go?
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_01: And I said, I want to go to see where John Bon Jovi got married.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_01: We walked in the door and they offered him a job immediately.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_01: And a few years later, they offered the chapel to us.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_01: And uh the rest is is is just history.
• 14:11
  unknown: Wow.
• 14:11
  Dayna Roselli: And they're close to each other too, which is nice.
• 14:13
  Dayna Roselli: You don't have a long walk to work.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, not at all.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_01: We can go back and forth.
• 14:19
  Dayna Roselli: Do you guys get really busy still on those specific days throughout the year?
• 14:22
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, because I know we're the wedding capital and people always look for significant numbers.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yes, the numbers matter to a lot of people.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_01: And then Valentine's Day, any holiday, Halloween actually is going to be amazing this year.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_01: Um, New Year's Eve, Christmas Event.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_01: So, yes, holidays and special numbers, they make a difference.
• 14:43
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and I like that Dee Dee said she, you know, has different packages where um, you know, there's a different uh, you know, price points for everyone.
• 14:52
  Sean McAllister: And she wants to she wants it to be affordable for anyone who wants to go there.
• 14:56
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 14:56
  Dayna Roselli: Uh I think that's great.
• 14:58
  Dayna Roselli: So welcome, Storybook, to Las Vegas.

  Sean McAllister: He's got a lot of really good love songs, and people love to play his music at weddings.
• 15:13
  Sean McAllister: Uh, Ed is coming back to Vegas, Allegiance Stadium.
• 15:17
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, remember last time he was here, he had to cancel because the structuring or whatever on the setup of his whole stage.

  Sean McAllister: Yeah, there was a whole issue with like the surface that the stage was set up on was slipping a little bit.
• 15:31
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 15:31
  Sean McAllister: And he had a stage that looked kind of like a spider.
• 15:33
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 15:34
  Sean McAllister: And like the legs had to be sturdy and they weren't, so he had to call it off.

  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that's a popular pill.
• 16:48
  Sean McAllister: I mean, every song's a bit of a every single song.
• 16:50
  Sean McAllister: I remember listening to that non-stop on loop right on my portable disc man back in the day.
• 16:58
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it was great.
• 16:59
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, some of her current, more current stuff I like as well.
• 17:03
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, I'm sure, you know, most people know her for the for the big hits back from that day.
• 17:08
  Dayna Roselli: But um, it's gonna be great to see what she does at the you know, in the Coliseum.
• 17:12
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, I think when it was first announced, it's like, okay, Alanis at the Coliseum.
• 17:16
  Dayna Roselli: Hmm.
• 17:16
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 17:17
  Dayna Roselli: And then you're like, wait a minute, that that makes sense.
• 17:19
  Dayna Roselli: It'll be great to see what she does.
• 17:21
  Dayna Roselli: And I don't know.
• 17:23
  Dayna Roselli: Just something different.
• 17:25
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 17:25
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, we're you know, I feel like you know, you're thinking, you know, Adele and you know what I mean, Rod Stewart and Celine.
• 17:31
  Dayna Roselli: What are you looking up?
• 17:32
  Dayna Roselli: I can tell you're distracted.
• 17:33
  Dayna Roselli: You've been looking up something.
• 17:34
  Sean McAllister: Oh no, I was just getting an email back about something we're gonna talk about later.
• 17:38
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, got it.
• 17:38
  Dayna Roselli: I was like, wait, I don't want to like if you're trying to find a factoid, I thought maybe you had something.
• 17:43
  Sean McAllister: No, but uh last time Alanis uh performed here in Vegas, she was over at the Pearl at the Palms, I believe.
• 17:50
  Sean McAllister: And that concert, it seemed like everybody in Las Vegas went to that show and I didn't completely sold out, but people loved it.
• 17:59
  Dayna Roselli: I know, yeah, that's great.
• 18:01
  Dayna Roselli: Um now is she uh because I haven't really followed her for a little while, and I'm wondering, is she still doing shows currently on the circuit, or is this like a big comeback?
• 18:14
  Sean McAllister: No, she's been out on tour.
• 18:16
  Sean McAllister: I don't, she's not like touring continuously, but uh she has been out on tour.
• 18:23
  Sean McAllister: This is her first Vegas residency, though, where she's doing a a good chunk of shows here.
• 18:28
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I mean she she has some hits.
• 18:30
  Dayna Roselli: So and she's do yeah, she's doing a bunch of shows.
• 18:32
  Dayna Roselli: I was just looking October 15th, 17th, 18th, 22nd, 24, 25, November, she's back.
• 18:38
  Dayna Roselli: So uh good for her.
• 18:39
  Dayna Roselli: We will let you know how it is.
• 18:40
  Dayna Roselli: I I'm thrilled to go see I I don't know, I'm just thrilled to kind of see someone different that hasn't performed here before on a regular basis.
• 18:48
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, you know, our residency.
• 18:50
  Sean McAllister: And you know, this kind of ties back in with all the nostalgia that's happening in Las Vegas right now, too, because she's kind of of the same era as you know the Backstreet Boy when the backstreet a little before Backstreet Boys, but you get the idea.
• 19:07
  Sean McAllister: It brings us back to our childhoods.
• 19:09
  Sean McAllister: Definitely.
• 19:10
  Dayna Roselli: Um, hey, we gotta talk about a couple abrupt endings, I guess we could say, right?
• 19:16
  Dayna Roselli: Um, we got word on Twitter that Emmett's had closed.
• 19:22
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and then we saw a bunch of people chiming in saying, Oh yeah, and then I went to open table, and we're talking about Emmett's restaurant over at Fashion Show.
• 19:30
  Sean McAllister: And this is a restaurant by uh famed football player Emmett Smith.
• 19:35
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and we done an interview with him and and run it here on the podcast.
• 19:38
  Dayna Roselli: Um it's been open for a little while now, but anyway, uh so there's all this chatter on Twitter.
• 19:42
  Dayna Roselli: So I went to open table.
• 19:43
  Dayna Roselli: I noticed that you could not book a table, so I'm like, hmm, sounds like it is closed.
• 19:47
  Dayna Roselli: And then now apparently people are saying there's notices on the door, saying rent wasn't paid and all sorts of stuff.
• 19:54
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know what's going on, but it's closed.
• 19:56
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it's closed.
• 19:57
  Sean McAllister: That's all it's like.
• 19:57
  Sean McAllister: The doors are not opening.
• 19:59
  Sean McAllister: So it's unfortunate news.
• 20:02
  Sean McAllister: We don't like to we don't like to have to report that things shut down, especially in that manner.
• 20:09
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 20:10
  Sean McAllister: Um, but it's I mean it can be a tricky spot.
• 20:14
  Dayna Roselli: It's a tricky spot at Fashion Show.
• 20:15
  Dayna Roselli: And some one of my friends just wrote me the same.
• 20:17
  Dayna Roselli: They just, oh man, Emmett's closed, because we used to go there time to time.
• 20:20
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm like, I know it's a hard spot.
• 20:22
  Dayna Roselli: And she was like, It's a hard spot.
• 20:23
  Dayna Roselli: I'm like, it is.
• 20:24
  Dayna Roselli: We worried about that when we talked to him and he said he was opening it, and and we thought, okay, you know, it's it's a great spot, you know, that faces right across the street from the wind, faces the wind.
• 20:37
  Dayna Roselli: They had the patio, it's a big space, a beautiful space, but it's difficult to get the foot traffic.
• 20:43
  Sean McAllister: It is.
• 20:44
  Sean McAllister: And if you're driving there, like if you're a local and you're driving there, it's not the it's not super easy to park down there at fashion show and get up out to the restaurant plaza.
• 20:56
  Sean McAllister: Like it's a long journey.
• 20:58
  Dayna Roselli: And it's worse and worse.
• 20:59
  Dayna Roselli: I went to the mall on Saturday.
• 21:00
  Dayna Roselli: I drove around for I don't know how long.
• 21:02
  Dayna Roselli: Then I was gonna valet because I thought valet there was free, and then it was fifteen dollars.
• 21:09
  Dayna Roselli: And uh it used to be free, so I don't know if it's because it was a busy day or what the deal is, but anyway, you're right, it's packed and it's not easy an easy in and out, and that's that's a problem.
• 21:19
  Sean McAllister: And I think that does it make a difference.
• 21:22
  Dayna Roselli: It does.
• 21:22
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, if you're going to do like a day of shopping and you're committed to it, like you'll drive around and find that spot.
• 21:28
  Dayna Roselli: But if you're just wanting to go to dinner, you know, you're not circling around for an hour if you've got a reservation at a certain time or you wanna you're hungry.
• 21:36
  Sean McAllister: Well, no, and here's the thing if you're going in there for one of the restaurants, you're gonna use the underground parking because that's the closest parking option to the the plaza restaurants.
• 21:49
  Sean McAllister: But I when I go there, I usually park around back and use the uh the back entrance and exit onto like Dean Martin is the road back out.
• 22:00
  Sean McAllister: And uh behind it or industrial.
• 22:03
  Sean McAllister: And that's just easier for me to get in and out of, but that's a long haul to walk from that end all the way out to the front.
• 22:11
  Dayna Roselli: So yeah.
• 22:13
  Sean McAllister: That's the parking situation at fashion show.
• 22:15
  Dayna Roselli: But there are plenty of restaurants that do very well there.
• 22:17
  Dayna Roselli: I think it just depends on how long you've been there, name recognition, where it's placed in that area.
• 22:23
  Dayna Roselli: So Emmett's was a little tough.
• 22:25
  Dayna Roselli: Um, we enjoyed interviewing and chatting with Emmett so much, and he really wanted you know it to be successful, obviously.
• 22:31
  Dayna Roselli: And he was excited about having a restaurant here in Las Vegas.
• 22:33
  Dayna Roselli: So maybe they'll just make some adjustments, maybe they'll move it, and we'll we'll keep everyone posted.
• 22:38
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 22:39
  Sean McAllister: If we hear anything, you will hear it as well.
• 22:42
  Sean McAllister: Uh, another uh piece of news that we just got, Terry Fader, who's been a long time headliner here in Las Vegas, is uh packing up his show, and he's going out on the road.
• 22:55
  Sean McAllister: He's going to be performing with uh different symphonies across the country and around the world, uh, doing some TV appearances.
• 23:04
  Sean McAllister: And uh this is what I was uh getting information on.
• 23:09
  Sean McAllister: Um and it sounds like for now, Terry is taking a break on performing here in Las Vegas, focusing on touring and out-of-town opportunities.
• 23:24
  Sean McAllister: Um if anything changes on that front, we'll let you know as well.
• 23:29
  Sean McAllister: But for the time being, Terry Fader is ending his Vegas performances.
• 23:35
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, we did so many, you know, great interviews with Terry through the years and and one recently when he started this show over at the Strat.
• 23:42
  Dayna Roselli: But um, you know, he uh uh is taking the final bow over with the strat.
• 23:47
  Dayna Roselli: Um we're recording this on a Tuesday, September 23rd, and this is the day.
• 23:52
  Dayna Roselli: So we just found out.
• 23:53
  Dayna Roselli: We did hear a little something over the weekend, but we weren't sure.
• 23:57
  Dayna Roselli: And so, yeah, so no more shows for Terry.
• 24:00
  Dayna Roselli: And um then uh, like you said, he'll he'll be out doing other things.
• 24:05
  Dayna Roselli: And I I just I don't think that's the end of Terry here in Las Vegas.
• 24:08
  Dayna Roselli: I know he lives here, he loves it here, he loves a community, and so I think he'll go do his thing, and like you said, you know, probably maybe be back at another hotel or something.
• 24:17
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, hope so, because I know he has a lot of fans and he's been a part of the Las Vegas entertainment community for so many years now.
• 24:24
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and you were saying, what did you what did you say earlier where you made a little I said, well, it looks like there's a bunch of dummies out of work.
• 24:33
  Dayna Roselli: And we're talking about his his puppets, his dummies.
• 24:36
  Sean McAllister: It's Vicky, Vicky the Cougar.
• 24:38
  Dayna Roselli: I think that Terry should use that in his next bit.
• 24:44
  Dayna Roselli: Because it's a good one line.
• 24:45
  Sean McAllister: Oh, for the comeback, he could say Terry Fader, putting dummies to work.
• 24:49
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my gosh, I love it.
• 24:52
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, we're interviewing the Miz tomorrow.
• 24:55
  Dayna Roselli: And when I say tomorrow again, recording on a Tuesday, on Wednesday, um, the I don't know much about the Miz, but I'm excited.
• 25:02
  Dayna Roselli: WrestleMania is coming back to Las Vegas.
• 25:04
  Dayna Roselli: Last year we interviewed the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes, and this year we're getting the opportunity to interview the Miz.
• 25:10
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, The Miz.
• 25:11
  Sean McAllister: Longtime viewers of MTV, back when MTV had like stuff on there.
• 25:16
  Sean McAllister: Uh the Miz was on the real world back in the day.
• 25:19
  Sean McAllister: And then that's where you could start to see his passion for wrestling uh come about.
• 25:25
  Sean McAllister: And then he ended up joining the WWE, and now he's a a show host, and he's really uh broadened his entertainment career.
• 25:35
  Sean McAllister: So it's gonna be fun to to talk with him and get uh get his view on having WrestleMania here in Las Vegas again.
• 25:44
  Dayna Roselli: Well, because when we went to the last WrestleMania, he wasn't a part of it, right?
• 25:48
  Sean McAllister: I don't believe so.
• 25:50
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I don't think so.
• 25:51
  Dayna Roselli: I think and I think I did just say something like uh see something that he's returning.
• 25:55
  Dayna Roselli: So maybe he did take off for some TV.
• 25:57
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, he was hosting a show.
• 26:00
  Dayna Roselli: I think he took a break.
• 26:01
  Sean McAllister: Yes.
• 26:02
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 26:02
  Dayna Roselli: So okay, here Sean goes to the Google.
• 26:04
  Dayna Roselli: He was hosting uh a show and and like oh, it was uh um they brought back a show.
• 26:11
  Sean McAllister: Uh he the host of American Gladiators.
• 26:14
  Dayna Roselli: That was it.
• 26:15
  Dayna Roselli: That was coming back, and he was going to host that.
• 26:17
  Dayna Roselli: And so I think maybe he took a break, and so he's back.
• 26:20
  Dayna Roselli: So it's the big return.
• 26:21
  Dayna Roselli: This is gonna be a good interview.
• 26:22
  Dayna Roselli: I love interviewing the WWE wrestlers, it's so much fun.
• 26:26
  Sean McAllister: And remember American Gladiators back in the day, too?
• 26:29
  Sean McAllister: I feel like on Saturday morning I would watch that all the time.
• 26:32
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 26:33
  Sean McAllister: After cartoons, American Gladiators would come on, and it was like storm and zap and all that, blaze, and I don't remember that era.
• 26:43
  Sean McAllister: Oh, it was so fun.
• 26:44
  Sean McAllister: Like the jousting with the big foam jousting things up on the big platforms.
• 26:51
  Sean McAllister: American Gladiators was great.
• 26:52
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, well, it's back.

  Dayna Roselli: By the Miz.
• 26:57
  Sean McAllister: So we're excited to talk with The Miz about all things wrestling and gladiators, all of it.
• 27:02
  Dayna Roselli: All of it.
• 27:03
  Dayna Roselli: Um, all right, let's do some tips.
• 27:08
  Dayna Roselli: It's really hard to do tips without talking about all these Vegas deals because everyone's asked for it.
• 27:13
  Dayna Roselli: Cut the prices, and there's just like so many to mention.
• 27:17
  Sean McAllister: There's a ton to mention.
• 27:18
  Sean McAllister: As a matter of fact, we're just ending uh the week of Las Vegas as a destination being on sale.
• 27:27
  Sean McAllister: Just about every property in Las Vegas had some sort of deal that they were offering.
• 27:33
  Sean McAllister: That sale uh was through the 26th.
• 27:37
  Sean McAllister: So if you're listening to this on Friday, you still have a chance to get in on it.
• 27:40
  Sean McAllister: Um after the first day, because this drops Thursday.
• 27:44
  Sean McAllister: Um but after the 26th, you're out of luck on the five day sale.
• 27:48
  Dayna Roselli: However, the fabulous five day sale.
• 27:51
  Sean McAllister: Fabulous five day sale.
• 27:53
  Sean McAllister: Uh but you should bookmark visitlosvegas.com slash deals because we've noticed uh that there have been they've continually been posting various deals up on that section of the Visit Las Vegas website, and it's worth checking out if you're coming to Las Vegas planning a trip.
• 28:16
  Dayna Roselli: Um Yeah, because we saw some um before the sale, the five-day sale started.
• 28:21
  Dayna Roselli: We noticed that there were a lot of deals on there already, you know, like buy one, get one free, and a lot of for a lot of attractions, some of the shows.

  Dayna Roselli: Well, there's a big presence of resorts having deals, and really almost every resort is on here with a deal.

  Dayna Roselli: Some of the attraction deals may change up, but they'll keep the page you know updated.
• 29:21
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 29:21
  Sean McAllister: And be sure to check out the deal pages of individual uh resorts on the Las Vegas strip as well, because um individual resorts may be continuing various offerings uh for however long they see fit as well.
