This week on the Strip: Rickles. His name is synonymous with the
so-called insult comic, a label he alternately embraces and
cringes over. He is, he insists, a whole lot more than that. For
one thing, his voice is in this year’s top-grossing movie of the
year, Toy Story III. Don Rickles is our guest this hour,
discussing the late Tony Curtis, the pranks Sinatra and the boys
played on him, how he first got to Vegas and how other so-called
insult comics like Brad Garrett learned the craft from him. Also,
find out where his toughest Vegas gig took place.

In banter: Zipline mania, Hoover Dam bridge mania, Harrah’s mania
and more.
