Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to The
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Mark Thompson for Tim Conway Junior, joined by Ben Allen,
the state Senator on the line. Now California lining up
a number of major international events right here in this
state that you know, all this stuff happening in the
middle of what is a controversial time in California. Ben Allen, Hi,
(00:28):
Welcome to KO five.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I wonder if you can give us a sense of
it's quite the pipeline, I mean of stuff coming up
in the next.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Year, pretty extraordinare. We've got the World Cup coming next summer,
We've got the Super Bowl, We've got to course, the
Olympics and Paralympic Games in twenty twenty eight. So that
lot's happening. It's exciting, it's a it's nerve wracking for
those of us that are working on it, but we
know that LA is going to be ready. And then
the good news is this is something that I think
is going to bring the country together in spite of
(00:59):
all of the divisions and all the challenges. Uh, you know,
there's a lot of interest in helping us out, both
in Sacramento and in Washington. In fact, as part of
the big you know, the big beautiful bill that just passes,
it included a billion dollars for security for the Olympics
from in federal money. And so it's you know, this
is something that is a difficult time in America's history.
(01:22):
I think it is going to be a unifying factor
for all of us.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Well, you know, your community, Santa Monica has been hard
hit by the fires, by the relocation of so many
into the community, like the housing questions and crises there.
So you know, you're no stranger to the controversies and
sort of the challenges of the region.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
But you're right, I think there.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Is a sense of community associated with wanting to get
us over the finish line and put on a good
face for the world.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Also, that's right, it's been a tough go for LA
I get the housing is my district. Uh, And you know,
and yet there's something about the Olympics and the interesting
thing about the Olympics and the World Cup. Quite frankly,
every single time you talk to the organizers of these organs,
of these big events, it is controversial. Everyone is griping.
Everyone's upset, people think it's not going to be successful,
(02:13):
and then then the games begin and the poetry of
sport takes over, the camaraderie, the international component watching athletes,
and the sportsmanship.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
There's something so special about these these events. Uh, and
and it ends up being a beautiful thing. It beautiful thing. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I was just going to say, in addition to sort
of the philosophical wonderment of sport and how everybody comes
here and we all get together, there there are some
practical economic.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Things associated that with this.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I mean, so you know, you represent quite a wide
area of Los Angeles, the West Side and Hollywood. Uh Uh.
I believe you have a part of Hollywood. But you can,
you can, you can. Yeah. So my point is the
Santa Monica Mountains, these are all areas that have been affected,
as you were just saying dramatically by the fires, but
also places that I think can thrive enormously on this
(03:06):
influx of visitors associated with these events.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
That's right, and I think in the end of the day,
it'll help us. It will help us put a new
face on Los Angeles to the world. Obviously, a lot
of people have seen the fires. They've seen the problems,
but they also Hollywood and Los Angeles is just so iconic.
It's such a It's a place that people think about
all over the world, they dream about, they they are
attracted to this place. And so I'm hopeful that we'll
(03:30):
be a chance for us to also put our put
a beautiful face for it and get the showcase. Everything
is so special about our city, all the diversity here,
people from all over the world who come to build
their dreams here. We're going to certainly be highlighting Hollywood
and narratives and creative arts. There's going to be a
big cultural Olympiad associated with the Olympics, so all summer
that will be incredible art and theater and music happening
(03:52):
all over the city. That will will will will reflect
all the diversity of our of our town. Uh and
you know, it'll it'll it'll you know, put it'll bring
it'll put us back on the map. In terms of tourism, unfortunately,
we've we've seen a major drop in tourism in the
wake of all the things happening internationally and concern over
the Trump administration, but also with the fires and other
things that we had a big report from Visit California,
(04:13):
which studies these trends, and you know, they were expressly
concerned about the state of tourism in the state right now.
And so it's another it's we rely so much on tourism.
It's a big part of our local economy, and so
this will also give us a jump start in that respect.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah, you know, it's we're talking to State Senator Ben Allen.
And it's true that California is an extraordinary place. I
think it's unlike any other place in the world. And
I always dreamt of living in California. I grew up
back east of Washington, d C. Where you know, I
was Steveton politics and all of that. But I loved
seeing all the magic of California, the mountains, the coast, Hollywood,
(04:51):
the shimmer around all of that. And he has all
of those things legitimately. You know, I romanticized it as
a kid, but I think the romance is here. I
also think it coexists with a lot of big city
and uh, big population problems, you know, and and so
Ben Allen, I think that the issue associated with homeless
(05:11):
encampments and cleaning up the streets of Hollywood and cleaning
up the image of Ally a little bit. Is is
an ongoing challenge, wouldn't you agree?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Absolutely? Absolutely, And we're all of those things. We were,
we are, we are, we are the beauty and the
shimmer and then big city problems too, and I think
that you know, look this, the Olympics have been in
many different places. It was in Rio not too long ago.
I mean, Paris has has has has all of that too.
There's an incredible shimmer of of of the Eiffel Tower,
and then there's the Baieu and there, and there's the
(05:40):
outskirts that have seen so many challenges and so yeah,
we're not gonna you know, this is all part of
our story. And you know, I'm hopeful that this will
bring some some new spirit into the town. It will
also but also you know, hope, I'm hopeful that it will.
It'll lead to us doing some more to try to
fix our challenges on the streets. Yea, there's some more
resources for infrastructure, both in terms of transportation. It's going
(06:03):
to fix up a bunch of our facilities and help
on our housing side too. So I you know, I'm
not I'm certainly not promising any you know kind of
a massive uh you know, magic bullet associated with this,
but I think it will help.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
This isn't the big makeover you're announcing, Ben where all
these streets are paved with gold, and.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Uh, I know, I wish, man, I wish uh No.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
But I love your optimism and I love what you
point to substantively as something that really will make a difference.
I really believe economically, the infusion of so much in
the way of commerce into California during all of these well,
all of these things, and as you've suggested, all of
these events bring an international community into an area that's
(06:47):
been a hard hit. Like as you said, uh, it's
been a rough period for tourism, and this may jump
start a bit of that industry.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
And the other and the other thing that I think
will really help us is that, unlike a lot of
the other recent Olympics and World Cups, they we're not
going to have to do a lot of building. We've
got all the infrastructure already in place. There will be
you know, obviously we're going to have to build a
temporary beach volleyball stadium and long be so it will be
a few things, but the major infrastructure is all there,
So there's not going to be the kind of massive
(07:19):
outlay of public funds or you know, of expenditure that
you typically see with these events. We have the infrastructure there.
The Olympic village is going to be UCLA where the
students live. There will be some improvements made, but that
will lead the lasting legacy to help student facilities there.
We've already got the big stadium, we got we've got
the facility, So there's not so we're not as as
on the hook financially as a lot of other Olympics
(07:41):
have been, where they've spent way too much quite frankly,
and it's in the tourism influx hasn't made up for
the amount that they've spent. That's absolute what we call it,
no build Olympics.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, no, there's no question that what what the Senator
Ben Allen is saying is true. I mean, you saw
it happen. You mentioned Rio. I mean that was a
mess to me if you I mean, I understand television
cleans it up, but Rio was a mess. I mean
you had fetid water that competitors were swimming in. You
had I mean it really was Uh, that was an
(08:10):
event cleaned up for TV and then you had the
overbuild associated was it with Athens and there so so Hijing, Yeah, Beijing,
I think you're right. We are sort of in a
way turn key, and that makes this a far more
attractive place. I'm excited about all of this. I know
you guys had a big meeting today, all you heavyweights,
and you got a sense for what the future will be.
(08:32):
Were there any surprises at that meeting that you had
this morning.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Well, let me let me start by saying, we've got
an incredible CEO who's come in to run LA twenty eight.
He's a three star general, used to run He went,
you know, Connecticut, Italian boy, went to West Point, ended
up building his whole career in the military, ran Norcom
and and then was in the CIA for a while.
Incredibly talented guy, incredible logistics. He was a bomb diffuser
(08:56):
in Iraq and Kuwait back in the day. He knows how,
he knows how to run systems. In fact, CA C. Wasserman,
the CEO of the you know, the the kind of
chairman of the board of the of the of the
bid wanted a general and and and hired this incredible guy,
General Hoover who's also got great relationships across the aisle
throughout the military. You know, he he I think he
(09:16):
charmed everyone in Washington very effectively. So he's he's he's great.
I'm really excited about him and his leadership.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
We got to hear from visit California.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
We also got to.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Hear from Paul Ker Coryon and the CEO of the
of the l A County, Miss Davenport. And one of
the many things, of course, is how do we keep
everyone coordinating. There's all these different entities and and and
you know, they need to make sure we Part of
what we're trying to do today was make sure that
they're all on the same page. But I got to
say this, this guy, mister Hoover, is an impressive guy.
(09:47):
They've also the Olympics is also going to be something
that's going to benefit the whole country. We're going to
have the Torch Relay is going to go through all
fifty states. We're going to have some of the some
of the UK canoeing and and softball are going to
be out in Oklahoma, So there's going to be a
little taste in Middle America there. The rest of the
events will be in the south Land, except for soccer,
which will be all over the country as well in
(10:08):
different sites, and the Fine will beat the rosebu.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
It's a super exciting period. I'm really excited for California,
you know. I feel like right now we're taking a
lot of incoming fire and it would be nice to
get to these places that I think could really bring
the magic of California everyone. So you have an ally
in me and I think here at KFI so Stage
centeror Ben Allen. Congratulations on all of this, keep the
momentum going, and I look forward to additional updates.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Thank you, my friend, Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Goot Team USA.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, Team USA, that is the team to be on stefhoosh.
I don't want to lockstep Team USA, my friend. Yes, sir,
all right.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I got an email.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
My email is the Mark Thompson Show at gmail dot com,
and I was talking about the fact that it's been
so hot and downtown with the homeless encampments being what
they are. They're in these cages. Dogs, they are in
the encampments, the dogs, and there's even some suggestion that
they're buppies being sold. And I've heard every manner of
(11:16):
story because people are in and out of these encampments
and around them as activists. They're homeless activists, they're animal activists.
They're looking out, but they have to be very careful
because these encampments can be you know, closed off, they
can be dangerous. There's a lot of bad stuff going
on in these homeless encampments, as you know. But anyway,
the email is high mark, isn't I was talking about
(11:39):
how many of them I've seen videos are clearly thirsty
in the heat.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
I mean, these dogs are.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
And this is a whole other issue whether homeless people
who are there in those encampments should even be allowed
to have these cages with dogs in them. I mean,
these dogs are left there for days almost Sometimes it's
hard to track, which is why I'm being a bit
tentative about it, because you really need some kind of
(12:08):
ongoing surveillance of the area or monitoring of the area
to know exactly what's happening with these animals. But in
addition to whatever afflictions that people have drug addiction, mental illness, etc.
It's not necessarily just economics that have led them to
this place. When you're looking at skid Row, and that's
(12:30):
what I'm talking about. You're talking about a dangerous place
to be and you're talking about animals that are forgotten
in these cages. So the question comes in again to
the email high mark. Is an animal control or a
private organization able to provide water to these animals that
are pets on skied Row. The answer is yes and no.
(12:53):
There aren't a lot of official organizations that are allowed
to interface down there in any kind of way that
can be officially sanctioned. It's a very sensitive relationship that
we have with these homeless communities, I can call them that.
And so if you're an animal activist, you have an
(13:14):
area of concern which is associated with the animals more
than even the people. And if you're a police officer
or other public official serving the public in some capacity
that is deputized if you will to look in on
these people, you have a lot more to worry about
than frankly, the welfare of the animals. I mean, the
(13:36):
cops are called upon to do so much already, and
they're basically trying to make sure that these are areas
of the city. I'm talking about skilled row again specifically
that aren't producing violence and a kind of drug fueled
rage that can oftentimes be a flashpoint for violence. So
once again, these dogs that are in these cages down there,
(13:59):
they're just sort of an afterthought. So with the heat
and clearly without water being offered to these creatures, I wonder.
And I've reached out to a couple of these animal
activist communities and they say it's a difficult situation for
them to intercede in. I mean, these animals do if
(14:21):
you will, belong to these people. They have owners again
to use the word, and they are homeless people who
are occupying that encampment. You can't take the animals from them,
or can you? I mean legally, I don't know that
you can so in any case without jumping right to
(14:42):
taking the animals. It does seem as though it's an
issue that is within an overall issue associated with homelessness.
So for those who've expressed concern about it, I think
it requires additional vigilance, it requires additional investigation, and probably
it requires a bit more activism. I mean, you just
(15:03):
I think need a change in policy when it comes
to keeping these animals. I mean, there's a sense of
irresponsibility anyway about a lot of these drug induced manias
that are going on inside these homeless encampments, and the
idea that these innocent animals are subjected to that and
forgotten alongside it. It's pretty awful, you know. So there
(15:28):
is a federal judge. You had this just a moment ago,
I think, Michael Krozer, this is the breaking news yep,
an LA federal judge saying that she's going to issue
a ruling tomorrow on a request by immigrant advocates for
temporarily stopping the orders that the US Department of Homeland
(15:49):
Security has running immigration enforcement operations in the area. They
could issue a temporary restraining order and that would be binding,
and they it would appear our leaning toward the court
is ordering the detainees at least be given access to lawyers,
(16:11):
and that immigration only stops people when agents have reasonable
suspicion of criminal activity. This is an ACLU action, and
they want to end these roving patrols that they call
them of agents. They claim those agents are detaining people
without larrance or probable cause. We'll get a ruling on
(16:34):
this tomorrow, is the word. So that's the breaking news
of the moment. It's the ACLU Foundation of Southern California,
and this is a major legal action that could have
massive ramification for what's going on on the streets of
LA right now. And the city and county officials throughout
LA said already that they're planning to join this suit.
(16:58):
So this is going to be probably the first huge
face off legally anyway between LA and Mayor Bass and
the Trump administration. And we'll see whether this test case
actually ends up with a temporary restraining order. But that's
the breaking news of the moment. Will know something tomorrow
(17:20):
as a judgment is handed down.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Forty tomorrow in this seat. Fred Rogan stops through and
then Tim returns on Monday. So we promised you this
breakthrough study that is hinting at a psychedelic compound that
may have serious but I mean serious anti aging effects.
(17:53):
Lab studies finding that sillo it's what is it. It's psilocybin, psilocybin,
but they found that the active form of psilocybin it's
a different thing. It's psilo cin. Is it silosin? I
guess anyway, silosen is the active form of psilocybin, which
(18:14):
we're used to saying, But silosin is in psilocybin, okay,
And it extends the lifespan of critical cells like lung cells.
I'll tell you more about it in a second, by
up to fifty seven percent while preserving the telomere length,
which is, as some people who are involved in this
world of anti aging will tell you, is what it's
(18:36):
all about. I guess the telomeres and the length of
them have a lot to do with how aged we get.
So they gave monthly doses of psilocybin to aged mice
and they showed a sixty percent better survival right than
(18:58):
untreated mice. They also had other outward signs of improved
fur quality, in other words, sort of a youthfulness to
these creatures. The study suggests that psilocybin may slow aging
at the cellular level by reducing oxidative stress and preserving
(19:19):
DNA stability. Now experts are saying, be careful, these findings
are preliminary, have to be tested in humans to confirm
safety and benefits. But these are magic mushrooms, you know,
and most of the research around magic mushrooms and psilocybin.
It's been focused on treating depression, anxiety, and a lot
(19:42):
of mental health conditions that can be helped by this.
But this study is revealing that maybe some form of
the compound might be working at a much more fundamental
level and literally slow down the aging process itself. It
was pretty I looked at the methodology on this. So
with they conducted lab, cell studies and animal experiments. Not
(20:04):
a huge fan of animal experiments, but all right, to
test psilocybin's effects on aging. And in the cell studies,
they treated human lung and skin fibroblasts with silicon at
various doses, so on a cellular level, which is really
I think you know, just from a distance, it is
(20:26):
something that is more usable, more applicable. Right you're using
human lung and skin tissue. They checked to see how
long the cells continue to divide before they stopped. And
for the animal studies, they gave nineteen month old female
mice either psilocybin or a placebo every month for ten months.
(20:49):
They go through this whole thing and they measured survival rates,
physical changes, analyzed cellular markers of aging. Here are the
results silicin treatment extend did cellular lifespan by twenty nine
percent at moderate doses and at higher doses fifty seven percent.
(21:10):
The cellular lifespan extended. The treated cells showed delayed death
I guess you'd call it or stoppage of growth.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
It.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Also, these treated cells showed reduced oxidative stress, so you know,
the antioxidant stuff that we're all taking, you're trying to
reduce oxidative stress.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Right.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
And then finally this thing that they talk about also
in the antiagent game, the length of telomeres. Anyway, they
preserve the length you want long ones, I guess. In mice,
the treatment resulted in eighty percent survival compared to fifty
percent in the control groups.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
So they believe.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
That psilocybin, the magic mushroom, could have, in addition to
whatever positive effects it might have in treating depression, anxiety,
all of this, it might be used in an aging
population to retard the aging process. They think that this
(22:17):
could have serious clinical potential, so they need to model
the amount of psilocybin that they give to the human
population based on how effective it was.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
In this mouse population.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
No serious adverse effects were reported in the studies that
went on ninety eight days, and that's why they feeled
it might be a reasonable way to proceed in older adults.
They say, additional studies are warrented. But I'm always looking
(22:52):
for the anti aging stuff and this, you know, and
I'm also always looking for the pselocybin stuff. Coincidentally, the
two could be in the same bottle. That's the latest
study out of Atlanta, and so this will all be
published in a major paper on this psychedelic compound and
(23:16):
anti aging drugs. I think it's the borderline I think provocative.
I don't want to see exciting. I'd say it's more
in that provocative category when we come back.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
What are we do when we come back? Matt? Are
we coming in that great story on summer Adventures in Vegas?
All right?
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I love it, Summer Adventures in Vegas even I'm staying
tuned for that.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Forty, just finishing up with a Vegas story.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Well after complaints from several businesses, the city of Las
Vegas might be telling a historic nightlife area to keep
it down. Advocates from both sides, speaking with our eight
News Now reporter James.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Schaeffer James Schaeffer, the eight News reporter on the Vegas beat, or.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
You ask me to flow down here, that's it.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
It's noisy, but it's not that sound which is causing
a problem for some like Anna Olin of the Midtown.
It's this the pop up raves, the concerts and just
overall buzz.
Speaker 8 (24:29):
You can get pretty pop in some nights, which is
good in my opinion. It's good for business, good for
keeping the area safe and healthy.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Justin Soldier, or a musical artist, says, the arts district
is special man. There's a reason why they should remain
the exception to the rule.
Speaker 8 (24:44):
All other days should be mid night as well. If anything,
I feel like it should be expanded a bit.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
For the neighborhood.
Speaker 9 (24:52):
I just think that in a year, they're going to
be asking themselves why did we remove that exemption. On
a twenty four hour.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
City Michelle, a filmmaker, extensively covers the history of the
sites and sounds of the neighborhood. She questions the reasoning
behind some of the Midtown who are asking for the
rule to be reviewed.
Speaker 9 (25:10):
If the city removes the exemption of this noise, a
lot would be at risk. I think what Midtown in
the future can provide is future spaces for music venues,
for people to be attracted to this area.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
This is a pop up These are pop up raves
they're having in Las Vegas. That's what they're man, there's
not enough going on in Vegas. There are pop up
raids there. We have pop up raids here. We have
pop up raves in Las Vegas, in the Art District
(25:45):
in particular. I thought you had a Vegas bargain story
in here, didn't You.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Should be called Summer in Vegas in there?
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Here it is some are in Vegas. Yeah, this is
the different side of Vegas. This is the summer side
of Vegas.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
Obviously, we have a lot of new resorts here in
Las Vegas, but one of the main stays that dates
back to the nineteen sixties is Circus Circus, and it
really is a great place to bring the family for
all day fun.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I have never been to Circus Circus, and I've been
to Las Vegas about seven thousand times, and I've seen it.
I've walked right past it. I could reach out and
touch it. I've just never been inside it. I don't
feel the void, but by the same token, I've got
that kind of curiosity.
Speaker 10 (26:35):
Is the Adventure Dome is great and they're doing summer
pricing right now. So fifty percent off ristbands. How about that.
I mean that's a big savings so it's really good.
And this is for junior wristbands and regular you're going
to receive fifty percent off if you purchase in person
at the Adventure Dome. This runs through August tenth. In
addition to this, Circus Circus is debuting summer Happy Hour
(26:59):
pricing at the Carnival Midway.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Yes, I love the lady. Ooh there's we all need
an amen corner with this lady.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (27:08):
We're pricing at the Carnival Midway. Yes, they have a
Midway and it's from noon to three pm. You get
half price games and that makes your Midway card go
a little bit further so you can win some of
those good prizes.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Well, oh at the car, yeah I am, I'm a believer.
Yeah yeah, at the car yeah. Well I'm as I say,
never never been, but maybe it's already not a very
expensive place.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Circus Circus, I'm fifty.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Off might be a really dirtchy they.
Speaker 10 (27:44):
Do, and it's great because they're doing no resort fees
and that's a big deal. And they also announced free
parking through mid September, so that's great as well. So
if you want to stay at Resorts World, that's a
good spot to do so well.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Resorts World is announced no resort fees. That's huge in
Las Vegas. The resort fees can run seventy five dollars
a day.
Speaker 10 (28:08):
This runs through August tenth. In addition to this, Circus
Circus is debuting summer Happy Hour pricing at the Carnival Midway. Yes,
they have a Midway and it's from noon to three pm.
You get half price games and that makes your Midway
card go a little bit further so you can win
some of those good sucks.
Speaker 11 (28:26):
Right, that's such a deal. I'm now going to start
looking at tickets to see if we should come for
the weekend. What's happening at Resorts World though they have
summer special going on.
Speaker 10 (28:35):
They do, and it's great because they're doing no resort
fees and that's a big deal. And they also announced.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Have you been to Resorts World? It's immense.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
It's maybe the biggest space that I've seen in Las
Vegas in the sprawling hotel resorts.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Is it? Is it on the strip? Yeah, it's right.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
On the strip, right across from the Encore Hotel, So
the Wind and the Encore are on one side, And
if you cross the street, Caddy Corner, you know, like diagonally,
Resorts World is there and you walk in and it
is a mega mall of casino, resort, retail stores, whatever.
(29:22):
It's immense. It's bigger than any place I have been.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Now.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
I don't know what the square footage is, but I'm
just saying the feeling when you walk in is that
it is endless.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
It's like a universe without boundary. Wow.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Yeah, I don't love some parts of it, like I
feel they have high ceilings. It can feel a little cavernous,
you know what I mean. They are just certain things
that kind of take the sexy off of it. But
by the same token, I can see how it would
have a lot of appeal. And I've been there a
few times. It's really it's right there, as I say,
(29:59):
near on the other side of the street from the
Encore and just download.
Speaker 10 (30:02):
Yeah, we're mid September, so that's great as well. So
if you want to stay at Resorts World, that's a
good spot to do so. Also, they're doing some nightly
resort credits like fifty bucks and seventy five dollars depending
on what tower you stay in. And they also just
announced a pool pass for people who aren't staying.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
There, and this is great during the week it's thirty
dollars for adults, fifteen for children. It's a little more
on the weekends. But as you can see, it's a
great pool complex. They also have this Athena Infinity Pool.
This is an adults only area. You can also get
day beds there. It is twenty one and over for
(30:40):
that pool, but it's a great view from the ip areas.
Speaker 11 (30:44):
So that day I'll leave Doug and my step son
together and I'll go there. I'm working it out.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Yeah, itinerary is already coming to Wow, she's leaving Doug
on the step sun behind so she can go to
the adult pool. My god, things are really coming loose
at Channel eight or wherever that is in Las Vegas.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
All right, Well, those are a couple of the tips.
I think the takeaway on that is Resorts World getting
rid of resort fees for a good chunk of time
to the balance of July and the beginning of August.
And apparently their fool scene is so good that that
anchor is leaving her stepson and husband and going to
(31:30):
the adult pool by herself. So I think we're breaking
some news. Thanks everybody on The Conway Show. Appreciate everybody's help.
Thanks Coachell Abouley Coffee for providing prizes to today's game winners.
Thanks to Daffousch, to Crozier, to Angel to Matt, Thank you, Mark,
(31:51):
Moe Kelly, and later is coming up next. We're KFI
AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeart Radio app.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you
can always hear us live on KFI AM six forty
four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to The
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Mark Thompson for Tim Conway Junior, joined by Ben Allen,
the state Senator on the line. Now California lining up
a number of major international events right here in this
state that you know, all this stuff happening in the
middle of what is a controversial time in California. Ben Allen, Hi,
(00:28):
Welcome to KO five.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I wonder if you can give us a sense of
it's quite the pipeline, I mean of stuff coming up
in the next.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Year, pretty extraordinare. We've got the World Cup coming next summer,
We've got the Super Bowl, We've got to course, the
Olympics and Paralympic Games in twenty twenty eight. So that
lot's happening. It's exciting, it's a it's nerve wracking for
those of us that are working on it, but we
know that LA is going to be ready. And then
the good news is this is something that I think
is going to bring the country together in spite of
(00:59):
all of the divisions and all the challenges. Uh, you know,
there's a lot of interest in helping us out, both
in Sacramento and in Washington. In fact, as part of
the big you know, the big beautiful bill that just passes,
it included a billion dollars for security for the Olympics
from in federal money. And so it's you know, this
is something that is a difficult time in America's history.
(01:22):
I think it is going to be a unifying factor
for all of us.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Well, you know, your community, Santa Monica has been hard
hit by the fires, by the relocation of so many
into the community, like the housing questions and crises there.
So you know, you're no stranger to the controversies and
sort of the challenges of the region.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
But you're right, I think there.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Is a sense of community associated with wanting to get
us over the finish line and put on a good
face for the world.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Also, that's right, it's been a tough go for LA
I get the housing is my district. Uh, And you know,
and yet there's something about the Olympics and the interesting
thing about the Olympics and the World Cup. Quite frankly,
every single time you talk to the organizers of these organs,
of these big events, it is controversial. Everyone is griping.
Everyone's upset, people think it's not going to be successful,
(02:13):
and then then the games begin and the poetry of
sport takes over, the camaraderie, the international component watching athletes,
and the sportsmanship.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
There's something so special about these these events. Uh, and
and it ends up being a beautiful thing. It beautiful thing. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I was just going to say, in addition to sort
of the philosophical wonderment of sport and how everybody comes
here and we all get together, there there are some
practical economic.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Things associated that with this.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I mean, so you know, you represent quite a wide
area of Los Angeles, the West Side and Hollywood. Uh Uh.
I believe you have a part of Hollywood. But you can,
you can, you can. Yeah. So my point is the
Santa Monica Mountains, these are all areas that have been affected,
as you were just saying dramatically by the fires, but
also places that I think can thrive enormously on this
(03:06):
influx of visitors associated with these events.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
That's right, and I think in the end of the day,
it'll help us. It will help us put a new
face on Los Angeles to the world. Obviously, a lot
of people have seen the fires. They've seen the problems,
but they also Hollywood and Los Angeles is just so iconic.
It's such a It's a place that people think about
all over the world, they dream about, they they are
attracted to this place. And so I'm hopeful that we'll
(03:30):
be a chance for us to also put our put
a beautiful face for it and get the showcase. Everything
is so special about our city, all the diversity here,
people from all over the world who come to build
their dreams here. We're going to certainly be highlighting Hollywood
and narratives and creative arts. There's going to be a
big cultural Olympiad associated with the Olympics, so all summer
that will be incredible art and theater and music happening
(03:52):
all over the city. That will will will will reflect
all the diversity of our of our town. Uh and
you know, it'll it'll it'll you know, put it'll bring
it'll put us back on the map. In terms of tourism, unfortunately,
we've we've seen a major drop in tourism in the
wake of all the things happening internationally and concern over
the Trump administration, but also with the fires and other
things that we had a big report from Visit California,
(04:13):
which studies these trends, and you know, they were expressly
concerned about the state of tourism in the state right now.
And so it's another it's we rely so much on tourism.
It's a big part of our local economy, and so
this will also give us a jump start in that respect.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah, you know, it's we're talking to State Senator Ben Allen.
And it's true that California is an extraordinary place. I
think it's unlike any other place in the world. And
I always dreamt of living in California. I grew up
back east of Washington, d C. Where you know, I
was Steveton politics and all of that. But I loved
seeing all the magic of California, the mountains, the coast, Hollywood,
(04:51):
the shimmer around all of that. And he has all
of those things legitimately. You know, I romanticized it as
a kid, but I think the romance is here. I
also think it coexists with a lot of big city
and uh, big population problems, you know, and and so
Ben Allen, I think that the issue associated with homeless
(05:11):
encampments and cleaning up the streets of Hollywood and cleaning
up the image of Ally a little bit. Is is
an ongoing challenge, wouldn't you agree?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Absolutely? Absolutely, And we're all of those things. We were,
we are, we are, we are the beauty and the
shimmer and then big city problems too, and I think
that you know, look this, the Olympics have been in
many different places. It was in Rio not too long ago.
I mean, Paris has has has has all of that too.
There's an incredible shimmer of of of the Eiffel Tower,
and then there's the Baieu and there, and there's the
(05:40):
outskirts that have seen so many challenges and so yeah,
we're not gonna you know, this is all part of
our story. And you know, I'm hopeful that this will
bring some some new spirit into the town. It will
also but also you know, hope, I'm hopeful that it will.
It'll lead to us doing some more to try to
fix our challenges on the streets. Yea, there's some more
resources for infrastructure, both in terms of transportation. It's going
(06:03):
to fix up a bunch of our facilities and help
on our housing side too. So I you know, I'm
not I'm certainly not promising any you know kind of
a massive uh you know, magic bullet associated with this,
but I think it will help.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
This isn't the big makeover you're announcing, Ben where all
these streets are paved with gold, and.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Uh, I know, I wish, man, I wish uh No.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
But I love your optimism and I love what you
point to substantively as something that really will make a difference.
I really believe economically, the infusion of so much in
the way of commerce into California during all of these well,
all of these things, and as you've suggested, all of
these events bring an international community into an area that's
(06:47):
been a hard hit. Like as you said, uh, it's
been a rough period for tourism, and this may jump
start a bit of that industry.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
And the other and the other thing that I think
will really help us is that, unlike a lot of
the other recent Olympics and World Cups, they we're not
going to have to do a lot of building. We've
got all the infrastructure already in place. There will be
you know, obviously we're going to have to build a
temporary beach volleyball stadium and long be so it will be
a few things, but the major infrastructure is all there,
So there's not going to be the kind of massive
(07:19):
outlay of public funds or you know, of expenditure that
you typically see with these events. We have the infrastructure there.
The Olympic village is going to be UCLA where the
students live. There will be some improvements made, but that
will lead the lasting legacy to help student facilities there.
We've already got the big stadium, we got we've got
the facility, So there's not so we're not as as
on the hook financially as a lot of other Olympics
(07:41):
have been, where they've spent way too much quite frankly,
and it's in the tourism influx hasn't made up for
the amount that they've spent. That's absolute what we call it,
no build Olympics.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, no, there's no question that what what the Senator
Ben Allen is saying is true. I mean, you saw
it happen. You mentioned Rio. I mean that was a
mess to me if you I mean, I understand television
cleans it up, but Rio was a mess. I mean
you had fetid water that competitors were swimming in. You
had I mean it really was Uh, that was an
(08:10):
event cleaned up for TV and then you had the
overbuild associated was it with Athens and there so so Hijing, Yeah, Beijing,
I think you're right. We are sort of in a
way turn key, and that makes this a far more
attractive place. I'm excited about all of this. I know
you guys had a big meeting today, all you heavyweights,
and you got a sense for what the future will be.
(08:32):
Were there any surprises at that meeting that you had
this morning.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Well, let me let me start by saying, we've got
an incredible CEO who's come in to run LA twenty eight.
He's a three star general, used to run He went,
you know, Connecticut, Italian boy, went to West Point, ended
up building his whole career in the military, ran Norcom
and and then was in the CIA for a while.
Incredibly talented guy, incredible logistics. He was a bomb diffuser
(08:56):
in Iraq and Kuwait back in the day. He knows how,
he knows how to run systems. In fact, CA C. Wasserman,
the CEO of the you know, the the kind of
chairman of the board of the of the of the
bid wanted a general and and and hired this incredible guy,
General Hoover who's also got great relationships across the aisle
throughout the military. You know, he he I think he
(09:16):
charmed everyone in Washington very effectively. So he's he's he's great.
I'm really excited about him and his leadership.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
We got to hear from visit California.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
We also got to.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Hear from Paul Ker Coryon and the CEO of the
of the l A County, Miss Davenport. And one of
the many things, of course, is how do we keep
everyone coordinating. There's all these different entities and and and
you know, they need to make sure we Part of
what we're trying to do today was make sure that
they're all on the same page. But I got to
say this, this guy, mister Hoover, is an impressive guy.
(09:47):
They've also the Olympics is also going to be something
that's going to benefit the whole country. We're going to
have the Torch Relay is going to go through all
fifty states. We're going to have some of the some
of the UK canoeing and and softball are going to
be out in Oklahoma, So there's going to be a
little taste in Middle America there. The rest of the
events will be in the south Land, except for soccer,
which will be all over the country as well in
(10:08):
different sites, and the Fine will beat the rosebu.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
It's a super exciting period. I'm really excited for California,
you know. I feel like right now we're taking a
lot of incoming fire and it would be nice to
get to these places that I think could really bring
the magic of California everyone. So you have an ally
in me and I think here at KFI so Stage
centeror Ben Allen. Congratulations on all of this, keep the
momentum going, and I look forward to additional updates.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Thank you, my friend, Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Goot Team USA.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, Team USA, that is the team to be on stefhoosh.
I don't want to lockstep Team USA, my friend. Yes, sir,
all right.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I got an email.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
My email is the Mark Thompson Show at gmail dot com,
and I was talking about the fact that it's been
so hot and downtown with the homeless encampments being what
they are. They're in these cages. Dogs, they are in
the encampments, the dogs, and there's even some suggestion that
they're buppies being sold. And I've heard every manner of
(11:16):
story because people are in and out of these encampments
and around them as activists. They're homeless activists, they're animal activists.
They're looking out, but they have to be very careful
because these encampments can be you know, closed off, they
can be dangerous. There's a lot of bad stuff going
on in these homeless encampments, as you know. But anyway,
the email is high mark, isn't I was talking about
(11:39):
how many of them I've seen videos are clearly thirsty
in the heat.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
I mean, these dogs are.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
And this is a whole other issue whether homeless people
who are there in those encampments should even be allowed
to have these cages with dogs in them. I mean,
these dogs are left there for days almost Sometimes it's
hard to track, which is why I'm being a bit
tentative about it, because you really need some kind of
(12:08):
ongoing surveillance of the area or monitoring of the area
to know exactly what's happening with these animals. But in
addition to whatever afflictions that people have drug addiction, mental illness, etc.
It's not necessarily just economics that have led them to
this place. When you're looking at skid Row, and that's
(12:30):
what I'm talking about. You're talking about a dangerous place
to be and you're talking about animals that are forgotten
in these cages. So the question comes in again to
the email high mark. Is an animal control or a
private organization able to provide water to these animals that
are pets on skied Row. The answer is yes and no.
(12:53):
There aren't a lot of official organizations that are allowed
to interface down there in any kind of way that
can be officially sanctioned. It's a very sensitive relationship that
we have with these homeless communities, I can call them that.
And so if you're an animal activist, you have an
(13:14):
area of concern which is associated with the animals more
than even the people. And if you're a police officer
or other public official serving the public in some capacity
that is deputized if you will to look in on
these people, you have a lot more to worry about
than frankly, the welfare of the animals. I mean, the
(13:36):
cops are called upon to do so much already, and
they're basically trying to make sure that these are areas
of the city. I'm talking about skilled row again specifically
that aren't producing violence and a kind of drug fueled
rage that can oftentimes be a flashpoint for violence. So
once again, these dogs that are in these cages down there,
(13:59):
they're just sort of an afterthought. So with the heat
and clearly without water being offered to these creatures, I wonder.
And I've reached out to a couple of these animal
activist communities and they say it's a difficult situation for
them to intercede in. I mean, these animals do if
(14:21):
you will, belong to these people. They have owners again
to use the word, and they are homeless people who
are occupying that encampment. You can't take the animals from them,
or can you? I mean legally, I don't know that
you can so in any case without jumping right to
(14:42):
taking the animals. It does seem as though it's an
issue that is within an overall issue associated with homelessness.
So for those who've expressed concern about it, I think
it requires additional vigilance, it requires additional investigation, and probably
it requires a bit more activism. I mean, you just
(15:03):
I think need a change in policy when it comes
to keeping these animals. I mean, there's a sense of
irresponsibility anyway about a lot of these drug induced manias
that are going on inside these homeless encampments, and the
idea that these innocent animals are subjected to that and
forgotten alongside it. It's pretty awful, you know. So there
(15:28):
is a federal judge. You had this just a moment ago,
I think, Michael Krozer, this is the breaking news yep,
an LA federal judge saying that she's going to issue
a ruling tomorrow on a request by immigrant advocates for
temporarily stopping the orders that the US Department of Homeland
(15:49):
Security has running immigration enforcement operations in the area. They
could issue a temporary restraining order and that would be binding,
and they it would appear our leaning toward the court
is ordering the detainees at least be given access to lawyers,
(16:11):
and that immigration only stops people when agents have reasonable
suspicion of criminal activity. This is an ACLU action, and
they want to end these roving patrols that they call
them of agents. They claim those agents are detaining people
without larrance or probable cause. We'll get a ruling on
(16:34):
this tomorrow, is the word. So that's the breaking news
of the moment. It's the ACLU Foundation of Southern California,
and this is a major legal action that could have
massive ramification for what's going on on the streets of
LA right now. And the city and county officials throughout
LA said already that they're planning to join this suit.
(16:58):
So this is going to be probably the first huge
face off legally anyway between LA and Mayor Bass and
the Trump administration. And we'll see whether this test case
actually ends up with a temporary restraining order. But that's
the breaking news of the moment. Will know something tomorrow
(17:20):
as a judgment is handed down.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Forty tomorrow in this seat. Fred Rogan stops through and
then Tim returns on Monday. So we promised you this
breakthrough study that is hinting at a psychedelic compound that
may have serious but I mean serious anti aging effects.
(17:53):
Lab studies finding that sillo it's what is it. It's psilocybin, psilocybin,
but they found that the active form of psilocybin it's
a different thing. It's psilo cin. Is it silosin? I
guess anyway, silosen is the active form of psilocybin, which
(18:14):
we're used to saying, But silosin is in psilocybin, okay,
And it extends the lifespan of critical cells like lung cells.
I'll tell you more about it in a second, by
up to fifty seven percent while preserving the telomere length,
which is, as some people who are involved in this
world of anti aging will tell you, is what it's
(18:36):
all about. I guess the telomeres and the length of
them have a lot to do with how aged we get.
So they gave monthly doses of psilocybin to aged mice
and they showed a sixty percent better survival right than
(18:58):
untreated mice. They also had other outward signs of improved
fur quality, in other words, sort of a youthfulness to
these creatures. The study suggests that psilocybin may slow aging
at the cellular level by reducing oxidative stress and preserving
(19:19):
DNA stability. Now experts are saying, be careful, these findings
are preliminary, have to be tested in humans to confirm
safety and benefits. But these are magic mushrooms, you know,
and most of the research around magic mushrooms and psilocybin.
It's been focused on treating depression, anxiety, and a lot
(19:42):
of mental health conditions that can be helped by this.
But this study is revealing that maybe some form of
the compound might be working at a much more fundamental
level and literally slow down the aging process itself. It
was pretty I looked at the methodology on this. So
with they conducted lab, cell studies and animal experiments. Not
(20:04):
a huge fan of animal experiments, but all right, to
test psilocybin's effects on aging. And in the cell studies,
they treated human lung and skin fibroblasts with silicon at
various doses, so on a cellular level, which is really
I think you know, just from a distance, it is
(20:26):
something that is more usable, more applicable. Right you're using
human lung and skin tissue. They checked to see how
long the cells continue to divide before they stopped. And
for the animal studies, they gave nineteen month old female
mice either psilocybin or a placebo every month for ten months.
(20:49):
They go through this whole thing and they measured survival rates,
physical changes, analyzed cellular markers of aging. Here are the
results silicin treatment extend did cellular lifespan by twenty nine
percent at moderate doses and at higher doses fifty seven percent.
(21:10):
The cellular lifespan extended. The treated cells showed delayed death
I guess you'd call it or stoppage of growth.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
It.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Also, these treated cells showed reduced oxidative stress, so you know,
the antioxidant stuff that we're all taking, you're trying to
reduce oxidative stress.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Right.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
And then finally this thing that they talk about also
in the antiagent game, the length of telomeres. Anyway, they
preserve the length you want long ones, I guess. In mice,
the treatment resulted in eighty percent survival compared to fifty
percent in the control groups.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
So they believe.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
That psilocybin, the magic mushroom, could have, in addition to
whatever positive effects it might have in treating depression, anxiety,
all of this, it might be used in an aging
population to retard the aging process. They think that this
(22:17):
could have serious clinical potential, so they need to model
the amount of psilocybin that they give to the human
population based on how effective it was.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
In this mouse population.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
No serious adverse effects were reported in the studies that
went on ninety eight days, and that's why they feeled
it might be a reasonable way to proceed in older adults.
They say, additional studies are warrented. But I'm always looking
(22:52):
for the anti aging stuff and this, you know, and
I'm also always looking for the pselocybin stuff. Coincidentally, the
two could be in the same bottle. That's the latest
study out of Atlanta, and so this will all be
published in a major paper on this psychedelic compound and
(23:16):
anti aging drugs. I think it's the borderline I think provocative.
I don't want to see exciting. I'd say it's more
in that provocative category when we come back.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
What are we do when we come back? Matt? Are
we coming in that great story on summer Adventures in Vegas?
All right?
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I love it, Summer Adventures in Vegas even I'm staying
tuned for that.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Forty, just finishing up with a Vegas story.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Well after complaints from several businesses, the city of Las
Vegas might be telling a historic nightlife area to keep
it down. Advocates from both sides, speaking with our eight
News Now reporter James.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Schaeffer James Schaeffer, the eight News reporter on the Vegas beat, or.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
You ask me to flow down here, that's it.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
It's noisy, but it's not that sound which is causing
a problem for some like Anna Olin of the Midtown.
It's this the pop up raves, the concerts and just
overall buzz.
Speaker 8 (24:29):
You can get pretty pop in some nights, which is
good in my opinion. It's good for business, good for
keeping the area safe and healthy.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Justin Soldier, or a musical artist, says, the arts district
is special man. There's a reason why they should remain
the exception to the rule.
Speaker 8 (24:44):
All other days should be mid night as well. If anything,
I feel like it should be expanded a bit.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
For the neighborhood.
Speaker 9 (24:52):
I just think that in a year, they're going to
be asking themselves why did we remove that exemption. On
a twenty four hour.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
City Michelle, a filmmaker, extensively covers the history of the
sites and sounds of the neighborhood. She questions the reasoning
behind some of the Midtown who are asking for the
rule to be reviewed.
Speaker 9 (25:10):
If the city removes the exemption of this noise, a
lot would be at risk. I think what Midtown in
the future can provide is future spaces for music venues,
for people to be attracted to this area.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
This is a pop up These are pop up raves
they're having in Las Vegas. That's what they're man, there's
not enough going on in Vegas. There are pop up
raids there. We have pop up raids here. We have
pop up raves in Las Vegas, in the Art District
(25:45):
in particular. I thought you had a Vegas bargain story
in here, didn't You.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Should be called Summer in Vegas in there?
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Here it is some are in Vegas. Yeah, this is
the different side of Vegas. This is the summer side
of Vegas.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
Obviously, we have a lot of new resorts here in
Las Vegas, but one of the main stays that dates
back to the nineteen sixties is Circus Circus, and it
really is a great place to bring the family for
all day fun.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I have never been to Circus Circus, and I've been
to Las Vegas about seven thousand times, and I've seen it.
I've walked right past it. I could reach out and
touch it. I've just never been inside it. I don't
feel the void, but by the same token, I've got
that kind of curiosity.
Speaker 10 (26:35):
Is the Adventure Dome is great and they're doing summer
pricing right now. So fifty percent off ristbands. How about that.
I mean that's a big savings so it's really good.
And this is for junior wristbands and regular you're going
to receive fifty percent off if you purchase in person
at the Adventure Dome. This runs through August tenth. In
addition to this, Circus Circus is debuting summer Happy Hour
(26:59):
pricing at the Carnival Midway.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Yes, I love the lady. Ooh there's we all need
an amen corner with this lady.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (27:08):
We're pricing at the Carnival Midway. Yes, they have a
Midway and it's from noon to three pm. You get
half price games and that makes your Midway card go
a little bit further so you can win some of
those good prizes.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Well, oh at the car, yeah I am, I'm a believer.
Yeah yeah, at the car yeah. Well I'm as I say,
never never been, but maybe it's already not a very
expensive place.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Circus Circus, I'm fifty.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Off might be a really dirtchy they.
Speaker 10 (27:44):
Do, and it's great because they're doing no resort fees
and that's a big deal. And they also announced free
parking through mid September, so that's great as well. So
if you want to stay at Resorts World, that's a
good spot to do so well.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Resorts World is announced no resort fees. That's huge in
Las Vegas. The resort fees can run seventy five dollars
a day.
Speaker 10 (28:08):
This runs through August tenth. In addition to this, Circus
Circus is debuting summer Happy Hour pricing at the Carnival Midway. Yes,
they have a Midway and it's from noon to three pm.
You get half price games and that makes your Midway
card go a little bit further so you can win
some of those good sucks.
Speaker 11 (28:26):
Right, that's such a deal. I'm now going to start
looking at tickets to see if we should come for
the weekend. What's happening at Resorts World though they have
summer special going on.
Speaker 10 (28:35):
They do, and it's great because they're doing no resort
fees and that's a big deal. And they also announced.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Have you been to Resorts World? It's immense.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
It's maybe the biggest space that I've seen in Las
Vegas in the sprawling hotel resorts.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Is it? Is it on the strip? Yeah, it's right.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
On the strip, right across from the Encore Hotel, So
the Wind and the Encore are on one side, And
if you cross the street, Caddy Corner, you know, like diagonally,
Resorts World is there and you walk in and it
is a mega mall of casino, resort, retail stores, whatever.
(29:22):
It's immense. It's bigger than any place I have been.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Now.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
I don't know what the square footage is, but I'm
just saying the feeling when you walk in is that
it is endless.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
It's like a universe without boundary. Wow.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Yeah, I don't love some parts of it, like I
feel they have high ceilings. It can feel a little cavernous,
you know what I mean. They are just certain things
that kind of take the sexy off of it. But
by the same token, I can see how it would
have a lot of appeal. And I've been there a
few times. It's really it's right there, as I say,
(29:59):
near on the other side of the street from the
Encore and just download.
Speaker 10 (30:02):
Yeah, we're mid September, so that's great as well. So
if you want to stay at Resorts World, that's a
good spot to do so. Also, they're doing some nightly
resort credits like fifty bucks and seventy five dollars depending
on what tower you stay in. And they also just
announced a pool pass for people who aren't staying.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
There, and this is great during the week it's thirty
dollars for adults, fifteen for children. It's a little more
on the weekends. But as you can see, it's a
great pool complex. They also have this Athena Infinity Pool.
This is an adults only area. You can also get
day beds there. It is twenty one and over for
(30:40):
that pool, but it's a great view from the ip areas.
Speaker 11 (30:44):
So that day I'll leave Doug and my step son
together and I'll go there. I'm working it out.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Yeah, itinerary is already coming to Wow, she's leaving Doug
on the step sun behind so she can go to
the adult pool. My god, things are really coming loose
at Channel eight or wherever that is in Las Vegas.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
All right, Well, those are a couple of the tips.
I think the takeaway on that is Resorts World getting
rid of resort fees for a good chunk of time
to the balance of July and the beginning of August.
And apparently their fool scene is so good that that
anchor is leaving her stepson and husband and going to
(31:30):
the adult pool by herself. So I think we're breaking
some news. Thanks everybody on The Conway Show. Appreciate everybody's help.
Thanks Coachell Abouley Coffee for providing prizes to today's game winners.
Thanks to Daffousch, to Crozier, to Angel to Matt, Thank you, Mark,
