M Is For Money

His father built the Mirage, Bellagio, Wynn Las Vegas, Sam’s Town,
the Rio, Caesars Forum Shops and countless other iconic structures.
But now is 35-year-old Anthony Marnell III’s time, with the
surprisingly successful opening of the $1 billion M Resort way,
way, WAY south on Las Vegas Boulevard. Marnell the younger talks
this hour about the future of his famous M Blimp, about growing up
on Vegas construction sites and about why the new resort is in some
ways a way for his father to receive the recognition he deserves.
Plus, Steve confronts him about whether putting a pharmacy in a
casino is, as Steve believes, predatory. In Banter: MGM Mirage's
woes, Phil Ruffin's financing issue, Luxor billboards,
hard-to-believe Lion King ticket sales, getting in trouble taking
pictures in casinoes and thoughts on Terry Fator. Phone:
