Welcome to an interview-only edition of The Strip
Podcast. We’ve been traveling this week but wanted to post
Steve’s interview with John Unwin, the CEO of the Cosmopolitan of
Las Vegas, in advance of the resort’s opening on Dec. 15. In this
conversation, Steve and John discuss everything from whether the
city needs another megaresort to Steve Wynn’s criticism that the
resort is quote “an extraordinary example of ill-conceived
plans.” Also, what’s it like to now be one of Wynn’s
peers?


One important note: About halfway into this conversation,
Unwin begins laying out his theory as to why the Cosmopolitan is
a different resort gunning for a different audience than the rest
of the high-end Vegas market. To do so, he draws Steve a grid.
You can find that grid either on your iPod if you’re listening
that way or on Steve’s blog, VegasHappensHere.Com in the post
he’ll put up for this episode.
