The (March) Madness of Queen Elaine

Las Vegas is awash in March Madness, although for legal reasons
nobody around here calls it that. So we’re webcasting live from the
March – uh – Lunacy party in a ballroom at the Wynn in honor of the
NCAA basketball tournament that even has the President of the
United States going a bit bracket-crazy. And because we’re at the
Wynn, who better to chat with than the property’s first lady,
Elaine Wynn? Wynn, now divorced from Steve Wynn but as intimately
involved in the details of the company as ever, joins us later this
hour to talk about her obsession with college hoops as well as her
views on Aria, Obama and Harry Reid. But first, Wynn sports book
director Johnny Avello stops by to talk about how the tournament
became one of the biggest events in sports betting and how he
became known for creating wacky lines for everything from Dancing
With The Stars to the Westminster Dog Show. That’s all coming
up. 

In banter: VegasHappensHere.Com wins an award, Jason Alexander's a
jerk, pool season's here, Sheldon hearts Florida and a bunch of
restaurant closures.
