Steve Wynn: The Man Who Built Modern Las...

About this episode

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.
