More Celebrity, More Puck

He can hardly keep track of how many restaurants bear his name, so
he’d be forgiven if he found opening yet another one in Vegas to be
run-of-the-mill. And yet Wolfgang Puck, seemed as giddy as ever as
he inspected the construction site that will, in one month’s time,
open as Puck Brasserie at CityCenter. Amid the hullabaloo
surrounding Aria’s opening day, the 60-year-old restaurateur found
time to chat with Steve about his childhood food memories, what the
most famous celebrity chef in the world means by his “less
celebrity, more chef” advertising tagline and why he’ll never open
a restaurant in a Steve Wynn resort.

In Banter: A recap of the Aria opening, the latest on the
P-Ho/Harrahs transaction, Wynn’s art purchase, Trump and Adelson’s
CityCenter hate and more.
