Andrew Pascal serves as Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of PLAYSTUDIOS (Nasdaq: $MYPS), a developer of award-winning, free-to-play casual games for mobile and social platforms. Mr. Pascal formed PLAYSTUDIOS in 2011, positioning the brand to be at the forefront of the then-nascent mobile gaming industry. Mr. Pascal's achievements and forward-thinking insight allowed PLAYSTUDIOS to garner early support from gaming giants MGM Resorts International and Activision Blizzard, among others. Under his leadership, the company grew its portfolio of game offerings and real-world rewards while simultaneously embarking on a global expansion, opening offices and design studios in Burlingame, California; Las Vegas, Nevada; Austin, Texas; Hong Kong; and Tel Aviv, Israel. Through its first decade, Mr. Pascal conceived and led the development of playAWARDS, a groundbreaking loyalty marketing platform that is key to the company's growth and retention strategy. Following nearly 10 years of successful growth across its mobile and social gaming apps, Mr. Pascal led the company's transition to a publicly traded enterprise (MYPS) in 2021. The transaction valued PLAYSTUDIOS in excess of $1 billion. Mr. Pascal remains in the Chief Executive Officer role, along with his founder-led management team. In 2021, PLAYSTUDIOS was honored to win the exclusive rights to develop Tetris in the mobile gaming space. Tetris is ranked the number 1 game in the history of gaming. In 2022, Mr. Pascal led the acquisition of Brainium Studio for $70 million. The acquisition adds a rich suite of popular casual games, such as Solitaire, Spider Solitaire, Sudoku, and Mahjong, to PLAYSTUDIOS' portfolio of industry-leading casino style social games. Prior to founding PLAYTUDIOS, Mr. Pascal was widely recognized for his stewardship of Wynn Las Vegas and Encore Las Vegas, the flagship luxury casino resort properties owned by Wynn Resorts, Ltd. Having joined the company during its start-up phase in 2003, Mr. Pascal served as Senior Vice President of Product Marketing and Development, ultimately ascending to the roles of President and Chief Operating Officer in 2005. Throughout Mr. Pascal's tenure, Wynn Las Vegas garnered multiple awards from the world's leading hospitality guides, including the coveted five Red Pavilions from Michelin, five Diamonds from AAA, and five Stars from Forbes (formerly Mobil Travel). In 2008, Mr. Pascal led the development and launch of Wynn Las Vegas' sister property, Encore Las Vegas. Together, the two resorts are recognized as the world's seventh-largest hotel, with 13,000 employees, 4,750 rooms, and a number of award-winning gaming, entertainment, retail and convention offerings. Under Mr. Pascal's leadership, Wynn Resorts achieved record performance while also making Las Vegas history, garnering Forbes five-star ratings in the hotel, restaurant, and spa categories simultaneously. From 2001 to 2003, Mr. Pascal served as President and Chief Operating Officer of WagerWorks, a company he founded as a casino solutions and content supplier for many of the world's largest gaming and media brands, including Sky, Virgin Group, SONY, MGM Mirage (now MGM Resorts International), Pearson Television, Action Gaming, and WMS Gaming. Following Mr. Pascal's departure, WagerWorks was acquired by International Game Technology (IGT). Mr. Pascal achieved early entrepreneurial success in 1994 with the formation of Silicon Gaming. Backed by Kleiner Perkins and Benchmark Capital, the startup focused on reinventing the slot machine experience for an evolving generation of gaming consumers. The company's groundbreaking product, the Odyssey, is credited with establishing the casino industry's current digital slot machine paradigm. Silicon Gaming went public in 1996 and launched its celebrated Odyssey product suite that same year. Mr. Pascal sold Silicon Gaming to International Game Technology in 2001.

In many ways, Lauren Calvert has an iconic Las Vegas practice. Her past clients include big names like MGM Mirage and the government of Dubai's investment arm, and also the lesser known names of women who work inside Las Vegas's strip clubs who are fighting for better treatment in their work. She's an expert of complex litigation, including mass tort and class action law suits, and she works at Bighorn Law. In this episode, Lauren describes the amazing work she is doing to help under-represented workers seek compensation for workplace harassment, assault, or under-paid wages. We also learn about her backstory: how she came to be a lawyer, the bumpy road along the way, and how good people can be to those who need a helping hand.

Mike, Lauren and Demetri are joined by UNC baseball coach Mike Fox and MGM/Mirage's Jay Rood and debate the best parts of Ireland.

After studying Creative Writing with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Frank McCourt, Clint went on to graduate from the Wharton Business School, then pursued the Hollywood Dream for more than a decade, hitting a crisis point on New Year’s Eve of The Millennium when he became terrified that 5+ years of driving a taxi to survive would be irreversible career suicide. He quit writing, dove into an intense transformational period of self-help and personal development work, and focussed on making money for the next 8 years, becoming fat and happy. Obese, actually. As the economy collapsed in 2008, Clint was at a men’s self-help meeting when the shaman pointed at Clint across the yellow and orange crackling flames of the camp-fire and said, “You don’t know it yet, but you’re already dead.” Inspired by that, Clint lived 2009 as if it was going to be the last year of his life. He lost 40-lbs. (and has maintained that weight-loss), built a factory which allowed his business to thrive during The Great Recession and beyond, wrote his book about the timeless lessons he learned at Wharton (which would become his first bestseller,) and revived his crumbling marriage. All of this reaffirmed the wisdom he learned at Wharton about being a well-rounded, healthy, happy, and self-expressed person, and led Clint in the direction of Local TV Publicity, where he has since appeared on 59 Local and National TV News & Talk shows across America, and has helped Clients book themselves on more than 1995+ appearances since 2012. Most recently, Clint was anointed Dan Kennedy’s “GKIC Info-Marketer Of The Year.” His clients include Authors, Speakers, Coaches, Doctors, Dentists, Psychologists, Entrepreneurs, Television Personalities, Leaders and Messengers who are committed to impacting the world in a huge way using Mass Media TV appearances as the vehicle. He also serves the top chefs in America and hospitality industry leaders such as Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental, Hilton, Starwood, JW Marriott, MGM-Mirage, US Foods, and Sysco through his Five Star Butter Co.

Welcome to a special edition of The Strip. Former MGM Mirage CEO Terry Lanni has died. To commemorate the occasion, we are re-issuing our April 2008 interview with Lanni, who entered the gaming business as C.F.O. for Caesars World Inc in 1977 and went on to be president of that company before becoming president and C.E.O of what was then MGM Grand Inc in 1995. In 2000, he oversaw the buyout of Mirage Resorts, and in late 2008 he resigned his post at the helm of what by then was known as MGM Mirage. This interview was conducted in early 2008 as the recession was just beginning to take hold. At that point in time, Steve had broken the news that the company wanted to use the name ARIA for the CityCenter hotel but legal problems thwarted it. Obviously at some point after this discussion, those issues were resolved. Those caveats aside, we'd like to extend condolences to all within the gaming community and the Lanni family who mourn the loss of one of the industry's most significant figures.

**Visit VegasTripping.Com and vote for us in the podcast, blog and Tweeter categories!**In case you haven't heard, there's a little company opening up a few new attractions out there on Las Vegas Boulevard this month and the guy behind all that is a fellow named Jim Murren. The CEO of MGM Mirage was, for better or worse, the visionary behind CityCenter, the $8.5 billion project that is finally a reality and has already opened the hotel-condo Vdara, the Mandarin Oriental and the mammoth Crystals shopping mall. In the interview you'll hear in this episode, Steve challenges Murren on several ideas behind CityCenter and Murren offers some surprising boasts – that CityCenter will singlehandedly save the Nevada economy, that he's never set foot on Encore or Palazzo and much more. Plus, Murren admits that the problems of Fontainbleau and Echelon are good for CityCenter, has tough words about Harrah's and Station Casinos regarding overleveraging and describes the green elements of CityCenter as “a gift to the United States.” Also, Steve asks, much to Murren's chagrin, if CityCenter is a Vegas version of EPCOT. That's coming up. Plus RateVegas.Com's Hunter Hillegas is here to discuss being Steve's date at the Mandarin Oriental gala last night, to tell all about his exclusive Aria tour and to explain how this Harrah's-Planet Ho thing makes sense.

If you were at the Palms on Saturday for the Michael Jackson tribute benefit, you might want to put your ticket stub in a safe place. Years from now, the concert may very well be remembered in the same light as Motown 25, a magical moment when the world witnessed the birth of a major talent. This time, it was Elijah Johnson, the 11-year-old star of the Lion King at Mandalay Bay, who flew onto the stage in a burst of energy and confidence and sang and danced with an exuberance that now has the Tonight Show calling. Johnson, who leaves the cast of Lion King in October, joins us this hour with his father in the studio to discuss that magical moment last weekend and what it could mean for his future. In Banter: MJ benefit follow-up, Earl Turner's peeps are jerks, McKee's Carmen Electra infatuation, MGM Mirage's condo issues and more.Thanks to Stiffs & Georges blogger Dave McKee of Huntington Press for filling in for Miles.

Others may be more creative, more ambitious and more flamboyant, but nobody nobody on the modern scene today is as brilliant – or as fortunate – at making deals as Phil Ruffin. The 72-year-old Kansas billionaire sold the New Frontier land in 2007 for a record $35 million an acre before the real estate crash, and now he's used a mere $775 million of that profit to pick up the Treasure Island. For the first time this hour, Ruffin discloses some new plans for the property, explains why he's unlikely to ever buy a Harrah's property and reveals the reason he'll never build anything in Vegas. Plus, he dishes about Wynn, Trump, his young wife and the billionaires' poker game he wins year after year. In banter: Obama's Vegas stage moment, Folies, Menopause and Scintas closing, Rita will go on and on, MGM Mirage's reservation system woes, the F'Bleau will be finished, does anyone care about Joaquin Phoenix's music career?

This week the girls review another book about Las Vegas called Winner Takes All, Steve Wynn, Kirk Kerkorian, Gary Loveman, And The Race To Own Las Vegas by Christina Binkley a Wall Street Journal writer who has covered Las Vegas for ten years.

This week, the Global Gaming Business Podcast features an interview with Dan D'Arrigo, the senior vice president and CFO for MGM Mirage, on his recent promotion.D'Arrigo has been with MGM Mirage for many years, but just recently took over the CFO position from company president Jim Murren. D'Arrigo has learned from one of the best so his efforts to explain how the company plans to diversify its revenue stream beyond the gaming industry will be well-founded. He explains why recent investments from Dubai World and joint ventures with other non-gaming entities will keep MGM on the cutting edge of public companies in the gaming industry. He spoke with Global Gaming Business Publisher Roger Gros at his offices at the Bellagio in December.
