Description

In the second installment of our interview with the Las Vegas visionary, Steve Wynn opens up about how the Broadway musical South Pacific inspired him to take a half-billion-dollar gamble on The Mirage — a hotel that transformed The Strip — and why the first guests to check in were wild animals. He also reveals how an Italian trip with Paul helped inspire him to create the iconic Bellagio — and also looks back on the time he and Skip got epically pranked by the singer while visiting Prince Rainier of Monaco. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
