\\n

Welcome to a Strip extra. The following is a conversation recorded with Barry Manilow in advance of the Newsweek piece that I contributed to. Very little of this discussion made it into the piece, so we decided to edit it and post it here. The interview was in Manilow\\u2019s dressing room at the Paris Hotel-Casino and was conducted primarily by me with a few interjections from a colleague working on the story. During the interview, we delve into Manilow\\u2019s fears about being perceived to be \\u201cover\\u201d when he decided to headline at the Hilton, memories he has of opening for many major acts in the 1970s and what his digs are like when he does stay overnight here. Manilow also answered questions about lip-synching allegations, why he won\\u2019t do a Garth Brooks-like show and much more.

As any dessert lover knows, there\\u2019s actually two Bellagio fountains, the one outside that gets all the attention and the one that flows of chocolate at the Jean Phillippe Patisserie around the corner from the hotel\\u2019s famed Conservatory. The second one, which owns the Guinness record for the largest chocolate fountain, is the brainchild of our guest this episode, Jean Philippe Maury, the French pastry chef who now has shops in both Bellagio and Aria and is responsible for overseeing the pastry kitchen for all of Aria. We\\u2019ve got a delicious dish of a discussion up ahead in which Maury explains why he refuses to make low-calorie desserts, why most chefs are incapable of making a simple pie and why Steve and my wedding cake was so disgusting. Also, has Chef Maury ever used a Betty Crocker cake mix? And, in lieu of the Top Secret Tourist Tip of the Week, we have a major announcement regarding our future.

As that resort turns 15 years old this month, it finds itself increasingly isolated north of the Strip right when new management has been spending millions to clean it up and modernize it. We\\u2019ll hear in this episode from Frank Riolo, the CEO of the Stratosphere\\u2019s parent company, American Casino and Entertainment Properties, about what\\u2019s in store for the fifth tallest structure in America. Will there ever a casino at the top of the tower? Why did Steve Wynn scream Riolo? And what does Riolo wish he could ask the ghost of Bob Stupak? In Banter: Getting to the bottom of Oscar Goodman\\u2019s drinking, looking at legalizing sports and mobile gambling, Expedia\\u2019s new loyalty program and Steve & Amy\\u2019s Liberace adventure.

A Caveman and a Chipmonk walk into a bar. Actually, they\\u2019ve never even met, but they have one thing in common: They both were interviewed by Steve last month. The Caveman is comedian and actor Kevin Burke, who has clocked more than 1,500 performances in \\u201cDefending The Caveman\\u201d first at the Golden Nugget, then the Excalibur and now Harrah\\u2019s Las Vegas. And the chip monk is the nickname earned by Arthur Nelson, the organist who has cashed in casino chips for Guardian Angel Cathedral on the Strip for decades.

To go along with our 1990s Tabloid Stars of Vegas theme from this week\'s proper episode of The Strip, we\'re also posting Steve\'s chat with Gennifer Flowers, Bill Clinton\'s original other woman. Flowers now splits her time between Vegas and New Orleans, two cities that she says are particularly welcoming to those, like herself, trying to live decent lives despite their controversial notoriety. Flowers rates the Clinton presidency, opines on Hillary\'s competence as SoS and as a fashion figure and explains why anyone would want to own jewelry or clothes from the Gennifer Flowers Collection. Flowers also explains how she can claim to have been the "Most Googled Name" of 2008, as her website suggests.

We all know that Las Vegas has long been a haven for washed up show business stars, but in the past decade or so we\\u2019ve also become a mecca of sorts for 1990s tabloid fixtures, too. The list of Las Vegans who earned household-name infamy at the end of the previous century includes Heidi Fleiss, Mike Tyson, John Wayne Bobbitt, Gennifer Flowers and, most recently, Mary Jo Buttafuoco. Steve had lengthy, fascinating conversations with Flowers and Buttafuoco for a recent Las Vegas Weekly column, but they\\u2019re just too long, even for us, to put both in the same episode. So here\\u2019s what we\\u2019re going to do: In this episode we\\u2019ll hear the conversation with Buttafuoco, whose husband\\u2019s teenage girlfriend shot her in the head in 1992, and we\\u2019ll put out the interview with Flowers, Bill Clinton\\u2019s original other woman, as a special edition of the show.

To do so, he draws Steve a grid.

In case you\\nhaven\\u2019t heard, there\\u2019s a little company opening up a few new attractions out\\nthere on Las Vegas Boulevard this month and the guy behind all that is a fellow\\nnamed Jim Murren. The CEO of MGM Mirage was, for better or worse, the visionary\\nbehind CityCenter, the $8.5 billion project that is finally a reality and has\\nalready opened the hotel-condo Vdara, the Mandarin Oriental and the mammoth\\nCrystals shopping mall. In the interview you\\u2019ll hear in this episode, Steve\\nchallenges Murren on several ideas behind CityCenter and Murren offers some\\nsurprising boasts \\u2013 that CityCenter will singlehandedly save the Nevada\\neconomy, that he\\u2019s never set foot on Encore or Palazzo and much more. Plus, Murren admits that the problems of Fontainbleau and\\nEchelon are good for CityCenter, has tough words about Harrah\\u2019s and Station Casinos regarding overleveraging and describes the green elements of CityCenter as \\u201ca gift to the\\nUnited States.\\u201d Also, Steve asks, much to Murren\'s chagrin, if CityCenter is\\na Vegas version of EPCOT.

That\\u2019s\\ncoming up. Plus RateVegas.Com\\u2019s Hunter Hillegas is here to discuss being\\nSteve\\u2019s date at the Mandarin Oriental gala last night, to tell all about his\\nexclusive Aria tour and to explain how this Harrah\'s-Planet Ho thing makes sense. Or not.

Hal Prince: The Las Vegas Spectacular!

Published: Sept. 10, 2009, 9 p.m.
Duration: 1 hour 1 minute 4 seconds Welcome\\nto a special interview edition of The Strip. The first-ever Phantom Fan Week\\nis coming to Las Vegas in mid-September, so Steve decided it was time to check\\nback in with legendary Broadway producer and director Hal Prince. That event\\nmarks the first time Prince has returned to Vegas since the 2006 opening of \\u201cPhantom:\\nThe Las Vegas Spectacular,\\u201d the shortened, high-tech version of the opera-house\\nsquatter tale that is the most successful musical of all time. At that time,\\nSteve irked Prince by saying the \\u201cPhantom\\u201d story is \\u201ca bit of a downer,\\u201d a\\ndebate the two comically revisit in this hour. They also address Prince\\u2019s\\nrecent stroke, his close encounter with the Cirque du Soleil gang, the coming\\nPhantom sequel and Patti LuPone\\u2019s recent on-stage outbursts. Prince, who at 81\\nhas won a record 21 Tony awards, was instrumental in the creation of Phantom,\\nPajama Game, Damn Yankees, Fiddler on the Roof, A Little Night Music, Evita,\\nSweeney Todd, Cabaret and countless other classics. He plans to open his long-awaited\\nnext musical, Paradise Found with Mandy Patinkin, next year and, as you hear,\\nhe expects the Las Vegas version of Phantom to run \\u201cindefinitely.\\u201d

And now onto this week\\u2019s\\ninterview. Daniel Negreanu\\u2019s general demeanor is calm and breezy, which has\\nearning him the demure nickname of Kid Poker. But the kid, presently No. 3 on\\nthe list of all-time earnings in poker tournament play at $11.6 million, has a\\nbit of a wicked side, too. His Tweets during this year\\u2019s World Series of Poker\\nwere rife with snark about other players, Asian drivers and weird encounters\\nwith fans on the rail, and in this week\\u2019s conversation, Negreanu has some harsh\\nwords for fellow star Annie Duke\\u2019s representation of the game on the recent\\nseason of Celebrity Apprentice. Plus, is it true that most poker players are\\natheists? Negreanu answers that, too.
