Random Vegas By 1980, the states five dominate gaming entities were publicly traded companies. They were Harrah's, MGM, Del Webb, Caesars World and Hilton (Neon Metropolis) Twitpic of the week The concept was unique and interesting to begin with. City Center, a city within a city. So big it has its own fire department onsite. Unfortunately, what we got was essentially a very expensive office park on the strip. While not pictured, Aria is a sexy bitch, but it was designed to usurp Bellagio as the premier property in the portfolio and to date, it has done no such thing. While Veer towers have always captured our imagination the remaining resorts on property, include Vdara and Waldorf Astoria, don't have casinos in them so there is no reason to even visit either of these properties, in our opinion. It is amusing that the most popular resort in the City Center portfolio is arguably Cosmopolitan, a property they had to acquire and fold into the complex. Thanks to @TheCrybabyvegas for sharing the view from his room during VV12.

David Garland has been cashing in on his personality since his early 20’s. He’s got the gift of gab and the looks of talk show host, a huge online following to the tune of 100,000 email subscribers, and a true lifestyle business that’s landed his company on the Inc 500 with over $3 million in revenue . . . and 4 employees. We sat down with David on a hot and happening afternoon, poolside in a private cabana at the Vdara hotel in Las Vegas. The atmosphere is casual - you’ll hear music, beats, clinking margarita glasses, and maybe a few shout outs from our wives - but we figure you’ll like being a fly on the wall as we hang out with a guy who makes millions of dollars a year sitting in his gym shorts, and is cool enough to get mic’d up for an hour in the middle of a weekend in Vegas.

Twyla Tharp has been that unusual New York dance figure who has long dabbled in popular culture, largely a result of being exposed as a kid to lots of movie musicals while working at her parents' drive-in theater in California. She studied dance with such legends as Martha Graham, then formed her own dance company in the mid-1960s and by 1973 was having the Joffrey Ballet do numbers to Beach Boys music. She choreographed several Hollywood films including the dancing horse scene from “Hair,” and in 2001 her Billy Joel-scored production “Movin' Out” became a Broadway smash. As you're about to hear, Tharp, a Tony winner and Kennedy Center Honoree, has long been friends with Steve Wynn and has long been enthralled by Frank Sinatra music, so she's excited to bring “Sinatra Dance With Me” to the Wynn Las Vegas was easy. It opened last weekend to an A-minus grade from Mike Weatherford and with blogger David McKee both liking it and wondering if it's too artsy for Vegas audiences.Tharp, however, believes Strip tourists will understand the show better than show-goers in New York.In Banter: A NYC adventure, a Cosmo adventure, a KNPR adventure, a Vdara adventure and more.Twitter: @TheStripPodcastBlog: VegasHappensHere.ComVoicemail: 702-997-3300Email: TheStripPodcast@aol.comVoicemail: 702-997-3300
**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. Or not.E-mail: TheStripPodcast@aol.comTwitter: @TheStripPodcastVoicemail: 206-424-4737Blog: VegasHappensHere.ComSite: TheStripPodcast.Com
