You can love it or hate it, but there is no way to be indifferent to the swoopy, wacky shell over the new brain health center west of Las Vegas. That’s because it was designed by the man famous for controversial and often bizarre buildings the world over, Frank Gehry. This is the first time Gehry, 81, has designed for Vegas, and there are several reasons for that as you’ll hear this hour in a rare in-depth audio interview the architect did with Steve. You’ll hear who Gehry has turned down through the years and why, who he is willing to build for and why he isn’t much of a fan of the gambling business in the first place. Plus, as we discussed recently, he chooses the most unlikely of structures as his favorite on the Strip.

In Banter: Wynn quits Philly, Lance Burton quits Monte Carlo, Steve's new iPad, Lake Las Vegas' belated shuttle, various airline news and more.
