Welcome to an interview-only edition of The Strip Podcast. We\\u2019ve been traveling this week but wanted to post Steve\\u2019s interview with John Unwin, the CEO of the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, in advance of the resort\\u2019s opening on Dec. 15. In this conversation, Steve and John discuss everything from whether the city needs another megaresort to Steve Wynn\\u2019s criticism that the resort is quote \\u201can extraordinary example of ill-conceived plans.\\u201d Also, what\\u2019s it like to now be one of Wynn\\u2019s peers?

One important note: About halfway into this conversation, Unwin begins laying out his theory as to why the Cosmopolitan is a different resort gunning for a different audience than the rest of the high-end Vegas market. To do so, he draws Steve a grid. You can find that grid either on your iPod if you\\u2019re listening that way or on Steve\\u2019s blog, VegasHappensHere.Com in the post he\\u2019ll put up for this episode.
