A Very Wynning Xmas

This is Steve Wynn’s week, no doubt about it. On what is traditionally one of the slowest nights in Las Vegas and in the middle of the worst recession in generations, he opened the doors to his $2.3 billion expansion, Encore. The results were a flood of curious explorers that led to bumper to bumper traffic on the Strip as far south as the Mandalay Bay and a line all the way into the Wynn casino. In honor of that milestone, over the next two weeks we’re presenting our interview earlier this month with Wynn in which he talks about everything from the shape of the buildings to the original plans for the Encore TV commercial. In banter: Criss Angel woes, Encore first impressions, CityCenter shopping, the TI sale and more.  Web: TheStripPodcast.com Email: [email protected] Blog: VegasHappensHere.Com Voicemail: 206-424-4737
