(00:00):
Live from three months three to experiencein fabulous downtown Las Vegas. It's the
podcast that celebrates our city. Thisis Living Las Vegas. Big Weekend coming
up too. It's Mojo from ninetyfive The Bull I send Tony from ninety
three one. The Mountain three dayweekend is upon us. I know it's
only Thursday, but we wanted toget this information out early because a lot

(00:22):
of people coming into town, alot of people looking for things to do,
and I feel the weekend really startson like Thursday night Friday, at
least for Memorial Day. Weekend kicksoff the summer for me. I don't
know about you, guys. I'vebeen in weekend mode since Tuesday morning.
I was gonna say, if thekids are still home, You're like,
why aren't you at school? Wherea school? Oh yeah? Why did
they make them go to school onMonday? That didn't make any sense,

(00:42):
especially it was a half day.Nothing was getting done on Monday. These
kids go in, Hey, thesekids are coming on with nude? Can
I work from home today? It'slike, I don't want to come in
just to turn around, and nowthey made them go in. Yeah,
it was yeah, look they haveto have a certain number of hours.
But wasn't there like a day theycould didn't they get like a couple extra
days after spring break? They couldpeeled off to make that way. Yeah,
the Monday thing was weird. Iagree. Yeah. Anyway, next

(01:03):
year, by the way, nextyear they get out on the twentieth.
Next year, all right, it'son my calendar. I'm just I'm like
definitely projecting forward a year after that. What will it be April twenty seventh?
My goodness, early May is earlyMay? So yeah, the kids
are out of school, Memorial Day, summer kickoff. What can we do
this weekend here? Oh my gosh? What's there not to do? Is

(01:25):
the question? There's something that youcould do anywhere all around town. Um,
you can go to Red Rock,hang out at the pool there,
which you know, I've been supercool vibes. Just be careful though it
because the pool aligns with like thecement, so it's like you don't know
if you're stepping into the pool orhot sub So just pay attention when you're
walking around. Fights first, soyou think you're good walking on concrete,

(01:45):
staggering a little bit, and allof a sudden, no, you're in
the water exactly. Is it opento people who aren't staying at the hotel
this weekends to that, it says, you know, you can enjoy nineteen
private cabanas. Um, it's anatmosphere for every kind of pool day,
aiming they got the sand bar cafethere, locals and visitors won't be disappointed.
So I'm assuming you could just walkon. It wasn't aware that you

(02:07):
could just if you're not staying there. Red Rock Pool you could just go,
And I know that's true at somepools. We talked about it on
a fast pod like the m Ithink there are certain pools you can get
into it as a local. ButMemorial Day weekend at Red Rock, that's
awesome if you can get in asa local. Yeah, Green Valley Ranch
you can. So there are stationscasino as well. So I imagine the
same as for Red Rocket. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. And
that's what I was going to saynext Green Valley, same thing. Locals

(02:29):
and visitors can go, you know, check it out, the day beds,
the loungers, the private cabana asthe sand Bottom Beach entry pool,
just relaxing. I know. I'msure you have Tony. I think you
talked about that area. You've You'vespent some time at Green Valley Ranch before,
right, but I haven't. Ilove that casino. It's very similar
to Red Rock, but it's moreon the Henderson side. Yeah. I
went there once for an audition forsomething. Well that was it. I

(02:50):
didn't need to spend more time likeat the pool and stuff. That's a
beautiful venue and a beautiful pool too, but I do like Red Rock a
little more for that. This iscool, though. There's a selfie studio
that is gonna be inside Fashion Showmall and I don't know if you've seen
these, but they kind of dolike some pop ups where they'll have different
backdrops and themes where you can kindof go in there, have fun and
take themselves kind of like a Idon't want to compare it to Area fifteen,

(03:14):
but there's just so much to seeand do and it's a lot of
great opportunity for content if you're intothat kind of stuff, and I'm happy
for the hustle that comes along withthis. I've seen a lot of selfie
studios become things lately, and I'mjust like, what a gimmicky way to
get some money out of people.Backdrop, you decorate a couple of rooms
and charging twenty bucks at the door, seriously smart and they show up for

(03:36):
it and they do. Yeah.I have a feeling it's game, especially
being inside Fashion Show Mall. Ihave a feeling that'll be that'll get some
traction for sure. Sure where you'regonna have a lot of people is at
Resorts World Las Vegas all throughout theweekend. You've got Katie Perry at Resorts
World Theater, at Zooke Nightclub.You got DJ Snake on Friday. Jack
Harlowe is gonna be there on Saturday. Dude, tiesto. I actually got

(03:58):
to catch a show at Zooke witsYesto super dope. If you haven't been,
go check it out and then theyay you right. I want to
say that's how you say that?You m yeah, I don't know.
You got you got Cascade, yougot cash cash on Saturday and Sunday.
R L Grames if you're into thaton Friday. So so much to do
at Resorts the World, you know, Vegas. You mentioned Katie Perry.
I wanted to side rail that fora minute too. Katie Perry is also

(04:21):
making another appearance, well at leasther likeness. Fremont Street Experience, they
do that Viva Vision thing every Yayhour on the hour. They're launching a
Katie Perry show this Saturday nights,kicking off at eleven thirty, Yeah,
almost midnight on Fremont Street the mainstage. They say that the fifth feature
special appearance by the talented Katie Perryherself. It doesn't say in person,

(04:45):
so I don't know if she's goingto be there, if it's like some
video. Is that eleven thirty atnight? Though? She well maybe that's
what wink about it. She said, got a resort. That's where I
was going, and that's where Iwas going, So maybe she'll show up
after her. Dude, let's takebets. I think she's going to show
up. Yeah, I don't thinkyou put this at eleven thirty unless she's
gonna be there. I mean,you put this at nine o'clock. You

(05:06):
put this at primetime, not thateleven thirty on a Saturday. Isn't primetime
on Freeway straight obviously it's pact.But no, they did. It was
Stone Table Pilots. It was earlierand six months ago, and it was
earlier in the night. So toyour point, I think that's why it's
at eleven thirty. I'm look,don't yell at me if Katy Perry isn't
there, But if you want tosee Katy Perry up close, that might

(05:28):
be the move. Yeah, Orit's still a possibility that she's going to
come, but it's not going tohappen at all if it's at a time
when she's on stage across the youknow, across town. So right eleven
thirty, there's still a possibility shemight show up. And it's kind of
cool. They did a thing,and I think I talked about it in
the past. They did a thingwhen she first started her Resorts World residency
where they gave her the key tothe city and she did some really cool

(05:50):
things on Vegas. She riffed abouthow she loved it here, and she
talked about the arts district, andshe talked about like she'd been here and
experienced it a little bit, andyou got a sense that she kind of
got it a little bit. SoI think she likes it here, right,
and it's good that it'd be coolif she came downtown. Did she
mention in and al Burger? Shesaid it four times the reference yesterday's episode

(06:10):
with Garth Brooks. If you missthat, that's funny. Well, that's
cool that they're doing that, andI love to see him expand because you
know, I mean, I lovethe Viva Vision shows they have, but
I've seen them all a few timesnow, so yeah, so that's something
new. Some of those Viva showsare from the old canopy too, so
they're not built out for the newfor the new display system, right,

(06:30):
So it's the old resolution like thekillers one is for the old canopy.
It's still cool on the new canopy, but it's not built for the resolution
of this. So I'm assuming thatthe new one that they're doing for Katie
Perry is built for this new canopywith the higher resolution LED. That is
cool. I would like to seethem do a country show at some point,
but we'll work on that. Notyet. No. I was working

(06:53):
on something with the guy and itstarts with the g and I was gonna,
you know, do a rebrand forGMN Street, but they wouldn't.
I wouldn't sign off on it.I'm not even joking. Didn't happen,
But that's okay. Uh, KatyPerry song, that's got to be in
there. Anybody, uh waking upin Vegas. Yes, I say that
like a plastic batwork. Tell mykids every Fourth of July. You are

(07:16):
not a firework. It doesn't matterwhere Katy Perry says, You're just a
plastic Yeah. But if that tooka turn. What else is going on
this weekend? Oh? You gotthe Veterans Cemeteries, memorial davents that are
going on on Saturday, and yougot the Special Forces Ceremony Memorial Day Ceremony
on Monday. A lot of stuffgoing on. Sky Canyon's fourth annual A

(07:38):
patriotic car parade. Okay, thatseems pretty cool. That's going down on
Saturday, the twenty seven Sky Canyonhosting its fourth annual parade. That would
be cool to see some of thecars that are in that parade. And
it supports the Client Veterans Fund too, Yeah, one of the community's charity
partners. Uh I, you know, let's not forget too. If you
know a veteran somebody in your lifethat has served, yes, thank them

(08:01):
obviously, this is about memorializing andremembering those we lost. But if you
have a veteran, it's also youknow, a good time to thank them
and show you know, your debtof gratitude for absolutely sacrifices they made even
though they're still here. And Iknow this Soliday is technically about those we've
lost, but if you guys havea veteran in your life, you would

(08:22):
like to give a shout out too. Is there anybody puts a lump in
your throat every time you go buyone of the cemeteries and all those flags
are out for a Memorial Day weekendAnd listen, I've got a long list
of veterans people who you know,have served that are in my family.
Probably can't mention all of them,but my uncle Carmen died in World War
Two, we'll mention him. CarmensMattio who died in nineteen forty four or

(08:46):
forty five. Wow, I'm luckyto have not lost anybody in battle.
But you know, we've lost veteransthrough the years, people who have served.
And I know now it's not likeit was then because now it's voluntary.
Back then we had the draft andthings they had to worry about.
So UM, I don't want totake anything away from that, but if
you were currently serving, um knowingthat it's a choice you got to make,
and you chose to do that.Thank you even more so, um,

(09:09):
we certainly appreciate the sacrifices. Yeah, not to get all Solomon somber,
but I wanted to make sure Ithough I'm sure a lot of people
come into Vega to a lot ofpeople a moment coming to Vegas this weekend,
aren't thinking about being Solomon. SoMemorial Day weekend, going out of
town? Where are you going?My daughter? I haven't seen I see

the struggle was through that for sure, but it's almost like a level of
difficulty up than than normal for whatthey had to go through. My kids
were homeschooled their whole lives, andwhen they got here, he decided he
wanted to go to high school.So I'm really proud of him for because
that's hard to steg away from homeschool to high school at a public school
