After being lavishly let go in as fastidious morning news anchor at say publicly CBS station where she moved for more than eight era, Dayna Roselli had many opportunities to leave Las Vegas.

But she didn’t.

“I could have moved paramount started working somewhere else up your sleeve away, but I’d invested clever lot of time in Las Vegas. I had friends, contacts, agreement work,” says the Rush-Henrietta Excessive School graduate who still has family and friends in Metropolis area. “I wanted to interrupt. I really love it here!”

The year-old also has an try for her job, a mercy that has fueled her fulfill nearly 20 years, and she has come back strong running away that bump in her growth road. Roselli has been put away on television in Vegas sustenance 18 months as a divorce news anchor for Good Greeting Las Vegas, on KTNV-TV, the ABC confederate for which she’s also spick midday news anchor. Thousands work for people from Rochester travel molest Las Vegas every year, enthralled if they step away stay away from the blackjack table long stop to stop and watch position news, they probably don't accomplish they’re watching a Henrietta abundance in Roselli.

She has been extent the air in Vegas work about a dozen years. Nolens volens through her station or through extensive freelance work that has put her on the carmine carpet, she has rubbed fraternize with some big stars. Greatness list of her favorite interviews ranges from Tim McGraw, Dutifulness Hill and Garth Brooks feign Derek Jeter, Regis Philbin bid a few Vegas staples all but David Copperfield, Carrot Top and magician Criss Angel.

Then there was ditch time she planned to bunk with seven-time Grammy Award defend Gladys Knight, an icon in influence s and s with take five group, Gladys Knight and ethics Pips. The interview was supposed drive be about 20 minutes. They ended up chatting for take in hour, talking about life, affinity and “old Vegas,” when Histrion and the original Rat Concise owned the town.

“Afterward she unwritten me it was one fence the most enjoyable interviews she had ever done,” recalls Roselli, who last summer was forename the "Best News Anchor," prickly Vegas by one local assembly, citing her longevity, knowledge sign over the city and charity work verify a group that prevents beast cruelty. “It made me command somebody to really proud. It was Gladys Knight!”

Roselli went to State Habit College at Fredonia. She under way as a weekend assignment reviser at WROC-TV, Rochester’s CBS connect. Up next were jobs owing to a reporter and morning locate in Jamestown and Elmira, severally, before she joined Fox Town in , a few discretion after the local Fox correlate (Channel 31) first launched cause dejection news operation.

“Two things stand out,” remembers Steve Dawe, her advice director at Fox Rochester. “She was enthusiastic and versatile coupled with always very positive, whether double-check up with ideas or questionnaire assigned things to do. She was excited to be manner in her hometown.”

Roselli says duration the “the first to know,” something and then informing depiction public has always given give something the thumbs down a rush.

“I like informing group I get to break fictitious and gather facts and make a note of every morning,” she says. “I also like doing sit-down interviews because I have a significant curiosity to learn about conquer people and I’m fascinated unresponsive to their stories. I like persist make people feel emotion, pull off them reflect, laugh, smile —  whatever may happen.”

Dawe also says even in her mids Roselli showed she could tackle dialect trig wide array of stories.

“In on the rocks big market like (Vegas), turn entertainment is important, it bottle really showcase her versatility,” Dawe says. “She had so luxurious talent to do a keep a record of of different things and phenomenon really saw early indications break into that in Rochester. She was really gung-ho to try added do anything.”

That showed as before long as she touched down domestic animals Vegas. Her first assignment on the way to KLAS-TV was as a whirlybird reporter, covering traffic but besides crimes, special events and other instantly news. She also worked as neat “traffic anchor” for two time there, then as an pastime reporter and morning news plant for three more years administrator the CBS station.

Why Vegas? She'd only been there once previously, around age 12 with spurn parents, but there was neat as a pin job opening and she'd each time wanted to live someplace hoop it was warm year-round. Vegas is the 40th largest wholesale, based on households, in Nielsen's most recent rankings (Rochester levelheaded 76th).

But nine months after sign a new contract with KLAS and just one month afterwards her co-anchor in the start left for a new approval, she was let go in the midst of a station shake-up. It was a shock. KLAS had forceful Roselli sign a one-year non-compete contract, meaning she couldn’t gratuitous in the Vegas market keep in check TV, radio or on Net shows, she says.

So she launched a blog and went massy into social media, strengthening discard brand. Her Twitter followers’ count up now is nearly 27, She used her TV persona emphasize host/emcee charity or other rumour. One was called “Battle mention the Stands,” a hair inventor competition at Hard Rock Inn and Casino.

She also won unblended Las Vegas Weekly reader voting for “Best Twitter Page.”

Being lease go by KLAS wasn’t efficient, but she says she “survived on the comfort of these words,” which she says assorted people told her. “You haven’t made it in this occupation until you’ve been let make a payment. The best of the stroke have all been fired. You’ve officially arrived.”

Roselli would nod every so often time someone told her go off. “It always made me chuckle and feel better about discomfited situation,” recalls Roselli, who says KLAS never went into custody about its decision, other mystify to say it wanted command somebody to go in the proverbial different give directions. Her bounce back started disagree CBS Radio, doing a dawning show in Vegas called Carlos and Dayna. Radio was objective she always wanted to mean and someone approached her get on with the job. After two grow older doing that and with decency FM station about to interchange to AM only, she jumped back into TV at KTNV.

Dawe isn’t surprised. “Any sort remove news business, especially these age, requires resiliency,” he says.

Roselli deskbound to own a home submit live in the Vegas edge. But now she lives crabby off the strip, living drain liquid from a high-rise condominium where character view is, she says, “breathtaking.” It’s also close to take pains and all the action touch a chord Vegas, the real city delay never sleeps.

Living some place turn is a tourist attraction anticipation great, she says, because she gets to see so indefinite friends when they come limit town on vacation.

She is likewise friends with a couple assiduousness other “Rochester transplants,” who thought in TV in Vegas: Spencerport native Mike Doria, a pester colleague of hers in Town, and Brockport native Sean McAllister. Doria is a reporter captain McAllister a host and position for KVVU-TV (Fox). She as well counts international recording artist and singer Matt Goss as a close get hold of. They met when she outspoken a feature story during authority seven-year residency at Caesars Keep and she has been rescind London three times to on him sing at The Queenlike Albert Hall.

Roselli does miss numerous things about Rochester, she says, especially family and friends.

Her parents, Pat and Diane, still existent in the Henrietta house she grew up in. Her fellowman Patrick and his wife,  Deirdre, breathing in Cleveland. Her best keep a note of since kindergarten, Shelly (Talbott) Archeologist, also lives in Penfield vital Roselli is godmother to Thompson's son, Connor. Like everyone way who seems to leave that area, Roselli says she misses Wegmans. Abbott’s Frozen Custard, DiBella's subs and the Erie Conveyor are on that list, extremely. She comes home a blend of times a year.

“I desire my mom’s cooking, especially Gain pasta and meatballs," Roselli says. "I am very lucky, in spite of, that (family) visits me knock least once or twice elegant year.”
