Live from three months three experience infabulous downtown Las Vegas. It's the podcast
that celebrates our city. This isLiving Las Vegas. I know we're a
day late, so we're coming withlots of big news. We had to
wait for some announcements today, andI think we have some exciting things to
talk about as we look at theconcert calendar for twenty twenty three here in
(00:21):
Las Vegas and New Year's Eve plans. We want to discuss two, but
there are late pressing things, morepressing things today. It's Mojo from ninety
five five The Bull. I sendTony from ninety three one The Mountain Tony,
How I was back to school dayfor you. Listen, my wife
handles it all. I drove,I did drive. We'll see then your
wife doesn't handle all of it.I didn't you dry, I didn't do
(00:45):
the picking up. I'm here whenthe picking up. Pathens got it.
But she said when we were leaving, she said who was going to be
in the car. She said wherewe were going, and I just my
hands were on the wheel. Soshe handles it all. Shout out to
missus, Mattie, She's the realMVP here. Parents are back to school.
A good reminder for people in LasVegas that school zones are legit.
(01:07):
They're in in session. So Iknow it's August, but make sure you're
slowing down and when you see kids, especially even if the lights aren't flashing,
and watch out for those school busflashing lights. Please. And were
you talking about something, Tony?I heard you on the listening to my
show. Definitely Mountain afternoons from threeto seven on ninety three one, the
Mountain I'm on from three to five, three to seven. I don't want
(01:29):
to I don't want to delop thematerial. Let's have three to five and
it's all killer, no filler.It's like it's like orange. You from
concentrate. You are the concentrate.Why water it down right? Yeah,
we wouldn't do that. So fromthree to five you must have heard the
gold That was me telling people notto do you turns in the in the
school zones. That's exactly you turnsin the school zone. Have you seen
(01:53):
people doing this? I haven't,no work, but it isn't legal,
Like you can get a ticket forpeople don't care. I don't know if
you know a lot of times inVegas they don't care if it's legal or
it's not legal, especially if it'srelated to like exceeding the speed limit or
you know, some of these trafficthings that are technically illegal. We sort
of ignore it in this town,right, And I think that's one that's
(02:13):
been ignored more often than it shouldbe. It is dangerous and it's causing
a problem for the other parents.If you're trying to do a U turn
in the school zone, Yeah,just put your kid on the school bus,
man, It's a lot easier thatway. I'm just a but there's
the whole segment of people where likethe rules don't apply to me. Oh
yeah, yeah, especially here.I mean it's everywhere a little bit,
but yeah, it's in our schoolzone up there in Centennial. It seems
(02:36):
like people just don't care about thatparticular rule. I'm just asking you you'd
be aware that the rule exists ifyou didn't already know. Now, you
know, don't do the U turnsin the school zone, especially the main
right in front of the school schoolzone part of the school zone, and
you're you turning. I don't getit. And cops like the post up
in these school zones, So don'tact like you're gonna get away with it
(02:58):
at some point. You might getaway with it day, but maybe not
tomorrow's maybe don't try it, justsaying all right at that point. Yeah,
So there's our PSA portion of theshow, that kind of gold you've
just heard every day three to fiveon ninety three one the Mountain, except
for some days when I just amnot there. Those are very important busy
days. Right of course, whydrive home with anyone else than mister Tony
(03:22):
Here, let's talk concerts. Thereason I'm fourteenth stop? All right?
It depends on the demo, bro, don't sell yourself. Sure, alright,
I'm sorry. Let's talk concerts becausewe first of all, let's talk
about the one this week, becausethere's a big one Sunday. I don't
know if you've heard. It's happeningat Cowabunga Bay. It's our ninety five
five the Bull Country in the Coveconcert we do every year. This year
(03:45):
seems to be aligning to be maybethe best yet we've had at Cowabunga Bay.
And this is going to be mysecond one, so I'm really excited.
And last year we had this weirdmonsoon season and the weather was daunting.
We had terrible thunderstorms like all thedays around it, and it looked
like it was daunting day of enoughto scare people away from going at great.
Yeah this year, Sonny, wemight even even we might not hit
one hundred on Sunday. Now thatgreat, right, So if you're looking
(04:10):
to come out, even if youjust want to experience Cowabunga Bay without kids
around, it is twenty one plus, even if you're not a country music
fan. But if you are morereason to come, Joe Nichols, Easton
Corbyn, Morgan Evans, Tiger,Lily Gold and Neon Union all come into
play. They've all got hits onthe radio. They've all some of them
have deep catalogs of hits. Soit's gonna be a great day of music.
It is a fun atmosphere and itis adults only. So if you
(04:32):
want to experience the Lazy River withoutkids splashing on you and jumping on you,
this is a great time to doit. And there'll be booze.
Good point is all we're waiting tosay to that kind of party that you're
throwing with the extensive list of livemusic, can deep deep, you know,
hits from all these great artists thatyou mentioned, and the park is
(04:54):
available to you and the water slides. I mean it's probably two three hundred
dollars a ticket. I woul ohno, and you would think with five
nationally known artists that you would bepaying that kind of mine. It's got
guess what is? In fact,you can get two VIP tickets for under
that amount, just saying, andthat would get you value. But yeah,
(05:15):
tickets are cheaper if you get himin advance. Just a heads up
ninety five five the bull dot Comslash cove. Oh, you just got
a notification your tickets arrived, Tonythere, My Amazon has just delivered my
tickets all perfect, perfect, Soyou know, get your tickets and come
and joy. This might be thebest one we've had. It's more like
what it's like. It's like sixto fifty nine I believe for the starting
(05:36):
ticket, but they go up dayof if you try to buy him at
the gates and do yourself a favor, get him in advance. The weather
is cooderating, yeah, and it'sa great day. Yeah, so we're
looking forward to that. That's goingto be a long day for us,
but a fun day and something wereally take pride in even if you don't
listen to the bull, which youknow, I have questionable suggestions for you
there, but you if you're afan of the podcast. Another reason I
(05:58):
s will be out there. Ithink Tony said he might even pop in
for a minute too. Yeah forsure. Well we'll see him floating down
the Lazy River like we did lastIt was like, hey, we that
this was last year. Last year, right, Yeah, you were on
that was my first one. Yeah, we were on stage announcing. We're
like, hey, I wonder whereTony is. And we see him and
his wife floating down the Lazy Riverlike nobody around them, just as they

Splash a drink on them when theyare on stage. No, nothing knows
(06:40):
what the are you guys gonna whoare they gonna throw stuff at you?
Or you're gonna throw stuff This soundslike fun. Who's throwing what? We
were bringing? Water guns? Wewill bring water guns. And if you
miss our last episode, we weretalking about people throwing stuff on stage.
So yeah, if you're coming,leave that crap at the house man,
unless you got score guns, I'llwelcome that. Any full of vodka,
A messages you have for any ofthe art size, any any Australian artist
by chance. As a matter offact, I feel like, well,
(07:03):
I don't know why this is myAustralia. She's crushing on Morgan. He
is up and he's tall. Yeah, no, definitely not bringing that up.
He's tall, he's he's a babeand hopefully we'll have a nice little
comer, a coversation. Oh boy. So moving on other things to look
(07:24):
forward to A should we start withthe rumor first? I think that's a
fair place to start. Tom andI had a sidebar about this yesterday.
I don't even know if you've heardthis. I'm not in the there's a
rumor about the next act We KnowYou two is going to play the Sphere,
which has captivated the nation. Ithink that's one of the number one
things people are talking about it,Memes about it, they're saying that the
band Eagles might be the next onepotential interesting, which I'm for. I
(07:47):
for one, I'm super excited.I saw them at MGM Grand Garden.
I thought it was one of mytop three favorite shows of all time.
Wasn't like a spectacle like the TaylorSwift show, was right, but as
far as like music, back toback full played all their hits, sounded
flawless, even at the ripe oldage of mid seventies or whatever they're They're
amazing. People love the Eagles.Yeah, yeah, so I'm excited to
(08:09):
hear that officially become the next announcement. I don't know if I'm excited.
I think the Eagles are great.Obviously everybody loves the Eagles. Want to
go see the Eagles, But it'sto sit down and enjoy the music show.
So I'm not excited about that.As a fan of music, go
sit down, enjoy the music,Okay, But excited means like get me
out of my seat, get mepumped. Just don't get me pumped,
(08:31):
right, That's more like it's man, right, the Eagles are on stage,
you know what I mean? Yeah? Pumped? Great venue, really
cool place. Eagles legendary band.I get all of that. I don't
know if I'm excited, Yeah,I don't know that I can be excited
with agree with the goal of whatthat venue is. I don't know if
(08:52):
that's a stand up out of yourseats and block the person behind you's view,
which Tony Year like six something,So that's going to happen no matter
what. But the experience to meis sit back and absorb the visuals while
you take in one of the mosticonic bands in history. But the Eagles,
it's a lot of ballads, likeyou know it just doesn't they have
tampo too, alright, Life inthe fast let Hardest Tonight, Joe Welsh
(09:16):
part of that show is the bestpart. I don't know, man,
Vince Kill. Vince Kill's pretty Ikeep throwing the word iconic out today,
but they qualify. I think theEagles are going to sell a bunch of
tickets at the Spirit But I dowant something that gets me excited, and
I don't know who that is whenthey announce it out though. I was
just trying to think about that that, you know, like the Eagles,
I'm like, what exacts you isnot necessarily universe like you would be stoked
(09:39):
about Jason Isbell And I don't knowthat that would sell tickets. Food Fighters
now, that would sell tickets.Kiss would be cool. I'd go see
Kiss. I would go see Kissat the Sphere. Food Fighters for sure.
Can we talk about it. Let'sget loud, Let's have a party.
Yeah, and I don't the Eaglesaren't. Let's get loud, Let's
have a party. The Eagles areprobably want to go to the dispensary on
(10:01):
that, and the visuals would probablybe and you sit back and you enjoy
the show. I get it.We talked. We did a whole episode
you can dig back into the archives, dig in the crates of our Living
Las Vegas podcast where we talk aboutall the who could be coming to the
Sphere conversation. I don't know thatwe said the food fighters, did we?
I think the Food Fighters came up, you know, Kiss didn't come
up, though. I just thoughtabout that. I'm like, that would
(10:22):
be bad, be a spectacle.I think it's I think it's a perfect
place for first ballot rock and rollHall of Famers, the Killers. I
think it couldn't be a more perfectspot for the Killers, for the Killers
to do a two hour night celebratingLas Vegas, and then the Killers are
(10:43):
so much more than just the Vegasband. Obviously, they're internationally huge,
famous and first ballot rock and rollHall of Famers. I think the Killers
would be great. Imagine dragons too. Imagine dragons. First, we talk
about them, I remember, bythe way, but the Eagles just doesn't
get me excited. But I getit. Well, we'll get the official
announcement and then get more were excitedabout it too as plans start to unfold.
If that is indeed a true rumor, which let's be honest, Yeah,
(11:05):
there's smoke, there's fire. Where'dyou see that at or read that?
Oh there's been rumors all over theinterwebs. Okay, it feels like
the same kind of thing we heardwhen you two was rumored. So got
it. It seems like, yeah, legit, where there's smoke, there's
just foundation there, gotcha? Okay, you brought up imagine dragons, by
the way. That concert that Iwent to they did at Allegiance Stadium is
now available to stream on I believeHulu or Paramount Plus one of those platforms.
(11:30):
So if you miss that and youwant to go back and see why
I put them above killers as faras Las Vegas bands that deserve that kind
of praise. I'm just saying,that's a great one to go back and
watch. Did you mention Taylor Swiftin this conversation? Somebody brought up to
here's what I am with that show? Now, I'm like, how's anybody
ever going to top that? Imean, I'm gonna see a lot of
shows in my life. The restof my life, I'm gonna go see
(11:50):
shows. None of them are goingto be as good as that one.
I literally got. You know howthose Facebook conversations about politics will suck you
in sometimes and eat at your time. You're like, why did I even
engage in this? I totally didthat today on a post if someone was
who surprised me. Some famous radioconsultants started saying that Taylor Swift might have
become, might be already bigger thanthe Beatles, and I absolutely went down
(12:16):
that rabbit hole, engaged with abunch of boomers about it today and got
sucked into better how it probably insome ways for sure impact there's a lot
of comparisons and as far as likeimpact the culture, ability to sell tickets,
album sales now. Granted they havea catalog that's been around for a
lot longer than hers has. ButI don't want to go too deep into
this. But separate, separate episode. Yeah, we can get into it.
(12:37):
It has nothing about Point, butyou bring up Taylor Swift. I
would love to see her do aresidency at this sphere or anything point.
I don't know how it became sucha super fan early on in her career.
I mean, I wasn't there,but as a fifty one year old
not the demo bros. Daughters loveher. So that's my that's my access
(12:58):
to what I think Taylor Swift isgreat because the response my daughters have to
the show, and then I'm atthe show and I'm like, oh,
this is fantastic, Like and she'sa good songwriter, and you know I
respect a songwriter, right, uhand so, and then obviously the stage
presence and how her audience reacts toher. It's not like anything else there.
It's nothing that we've ever seen before. And the only thing that I
(13:20):
think is fair to compare it tois Elvis Beatles, Michael Jackson. Interesting
I see it just saying maybe evenGarth if you want to throw five in
the mix. It okay. Somoving on from that, we brought up
Food Fighters for potential. You knowa band, we'd love to see it
this fhere. They are coming herein September. We do need to mention
our iHeartRadio Music Festival lineup, which, by the way, it added to
(13:43):
it again and somebody, I'm excitedabout little Dirk, Little little Dirk,
Little little little little little Dirk.The tea is in there coming. Every
time I say it on the air, I have to go back and change
it because I'm like, she's Iput the tea in there. I didn't
mean to put a little Dirk ismoving out in these streets. I'm telling
(14:03):
you right now, that's gonna bea fun highlight. Yeah, keep telling
me more about this. It's gonnabe a lit be with a capital tea.
I know it's big. And whata lineup in the Food Fighters.
You mentioned the Food Fighters are hereonce this year. That's it to this
point that we know of. ButI don't know of another Food Fighters show
after this one in Las Vegas.So if you're in Las Vegas wanting to
(14:24):
see the Food Fighters, and ofcourse you do, and of course you
are that's you gotta go to thathave tickets start at fifty five bucks.
So yeah, for one night anyway, but still that's to see even one
night of that lineup, and Iforget who's on which night, But you
want to list the whole list ofbands, and I'll tell you as you
as you mentally get prepared for thatask, you can win tickets and a
(14:45):
thousand dollars because, let's face it, beer's expense. If you want to
have a nice day and you wantto make a weekend out of it,
at in the nine am, onepm, and five pm hours on all
of our fine iHeart radio stations herein Las Vegas. That's ninety three one,
the Mountaine five five, Sunny one, O six point five, and

I'm starting off with mcguel. I'mstarting Yeah, let's all go.
Okay, So Muel if he onlylists the hip hop and R and B,
and that's hilarious. Okay, publicendemy, public enemy. Of course.
(15:26):
Of course you was there there andI just want to go back to
the Taylor Swift sidebar real quick.Have you seen Flave has been going to
a lot of her show, asin trading bracelets with all the Swifties.
Wait to go Flave, can't waitto see at the show? Go ahead,

I said, then see it's alot. And this is over two
nights at t Mobile Arena at theTony's Point fifty bucks for one night for
one ticket. I mean you doit two nights. That's still one hundred
and my math is terrible. Onehundred ten dollars plus fees. And here's
the kicker. We're gonna be outthere before the show? Is I talk

just want to say I will personallybe out there. And again, if

I just want to put that contingencyplan in play. It could happen,
you never know. Anyway, doyou want to get your tickets? Because
that is gonna be And I whoare you most? I'm most excited for
Food Fighters in Lil Wayne. Yousaid food food Fighters Cheryl Crowe. Yeah,
(16:59):
most excited for sure, as ifeverybody's raving about the Kelly Clarkson residency
that is happening. Yeah, sothat performance is something that appeals to me.
Yeah, Yeah, there's a lot, I know, public enemy for
me for sure. Definitely Food Fighters. Definitely thirty seconds to Mars two because
I've never seen them perform live before. And there's been a lot of just
(17:22):
you know, a lot of well, Jared Letto is another man I fancy.
So yeah, but I'm just excitedto see artists and different and listen
to different genres of music that Itypically wouldn't necessarily listen to. And that's
what I enjoyed most about the festivallast year. So I'm just looking forward
to this year. Of years,there's an artist that you're like, all
(17:42):
right, I'm gonna dip out andhit the bathroom and get a drink,
just say tip out, and he'smaking jokes about my lingo. This is
my sneak out. We forgot TravisScott. Oh, how can we forget
Travis Scott? Dude, I forgotabout Travis. Yeah, so yeah,
your tickets this year. There's noneof those artists where you're like, I
(18:03):
gotta go get it. You're gonnahave to hold it for the whole show.
You're not going to the bathroom.There's no pody breaks there. Don't
go chasing waterfalls because you don't havetime. You can't afford a pea break
here. You know, we mentioneda few that was a weird way to
say that. All right, No, that's awesome about although I hope my
kids listen very carefully to that particularsong the Residency conversation. We just got
(18:27):
some exciting news as we start tothink about New Year's Eve here in Las
Vegas. And this is the timewhen you want to start making plans because
so tells book out quick if you'retrying to stay cation it. Tickets go
fast because that particular data sought afterfor tourism. So you want to start
with the one you were talking about. Well, we got the announcement that
Bruno Mars is doing every year.But now we know it's back at the
(18:48):
Dolby Live Park MGM. New Year'sEve shows go on sale Friday morning.
You saw the Bruno show already,right, Yeah, I haven't a couple
of years ago. Yeah, wherewe saw it. Yeah, I'm excited
for that one too. That wasone of those things where we got good
seats, really close seats, andyou're like, oh my goodness, I'm
seeing this, this is happening.This is that show, right, He's
(19:11):
one of the greats. Another incredibleshow, incredible performer, entertainer and charismatics,
all of that, dude, allof the above. I mean New
Year's Eve with Bruno Mars at DolbyLive at Park MGM is one of those
nights you just always are gonna rememberand talk about. You know, your
kids are going to talk about thatyou were at that show. Now if
you want to shake a twang thing, there's definitely gonna be country offerings too.
(19:33):
And one of the reasons we installedthis podcast to day is to make
the announcement today which we just gotmoments ago. Luke Brian is announcing his
final dates for his Resorts World residency. Luke Brian, you know him from
American Idol. Obviously, he's gotthirties and counting country number one songs and
it's nothing but hits and it's afantastic show. He announced December twenty nine
(19:56):
through January six his final dates forResorts World, including a New Year's Eve
show. So if you want tosee Luke Bryan, that might be the
move too if you're a country fan. Lots of ways to be entertained here
in Las Vegas, and those arejust the first two we've heard so far.
I wonder when just the year I'mnot watching New Year's Eve on television.
No, I'm going out this year. Yeah, I agree with that.
(20:17):
I'm gonna do something. I'm gonnahold you too, that hold me
to it. It's not me bangingpots and pans in the backyard at ten
o'clock and then like turn kids night, I want to go out. This
year, I feel the exact sameway because last year I totally did the
opposite of that and I and infact, I think I was in bed
before midnight. I feel like Ineed to start living a little more and
quit being such an old man.I'm talking about me, not you need
(20:41):
to start doing that. For NewYear's Eve last year, I was like,
yeah, because I was only herethat time for like half the year,
six months, and I'm like,let me just have a party at
my house. So I invited anyand everybody who I had met so far
in Las Vegas, thinking they weremy friends or acquaintances. They had like
two people, so up, Allright, fine, I'm done. No,
(21:02):
no, well, I'm going outthis here, Saul whatever. Well,
but my hunches where Tony ends up, where I end up, and
where you end up are probably notgoing to be the same room. Probably
not, probably not. But itwill be interesting to see how that progresses
over the next six months. Aswe build up two New Year's Eve,
there will be more options, I'msure, and I can't think of a
better way to discover those options thancatching up on the episodes every week right
here on the Living Las Vegas Podcast. You can follow us on Instagram,
