I just returned from Las Vegas where I hosted a talk show during the International Consumer Electronics Show. You can find podcasts of it at www.lunchat.com/blog, the site of Lunch @ Piero’s, a yearly get together of technology innovators and the media. I’ll be posting a few interviews of interest to travelers and the technically-curious here over the next few days. Piero’s Restaurant is standing icon of old Las Vegas, before the goodfellas went corporate. It pours martinis the size of Lake Mead and still serves the stars. I dined there the other night and Justin Timberlake and his squeeze Cameron Diaz were two tables away (guarded one guy the size of Hermann Munster and another shaped like a giant beetle). We interviewed Las Vegas “original” and Piero’s owner Fred Glusman about the “good old days”:
