The latest UNLV Gaming Podcast is up; it’s an interview with Aria Resort and Casino President and COO Bill McBeath. A Las Vegas native and UNLV alum, McBeath has had an interesting career, to say the least, and has worked for some of the biggest names in the business—Michael Gaughan, Steve Wynn, and Kirk Kerkorian. As the man responsible for opening the Strip’s latest casino, he gives a unique perspective on the behind-the-scenes drama of launching a new property.
As always, you can listen via iTunes or on the UNLV Gaming Podcast page. For that matter, here’s the direct link:

Look for some more interview-style podcasts in the near future–I have a few good ones planned. We’ve got three traditional, lecture-style ones scheduled as well.
