It's not just Don Draper who is the toast of the advertising industry. Mad Men series creator Matthew Weiner received an honorary CLIO in Las Vegas last week; the awards honor excellence in advertising.

"Has there ever been such a buzz, inspiring fashions, department store windows, a new line of Zippo lighters, not to say nothing of the critical raves, Golden Globes, Emmys?" asked Keith Reinhard, chairman emeritus of DDB Worldwide, who introduced Weiner.

Fellow honorees that night included Barry Manilow and entrepreneur Mark Cuban. Click here for Adweek's take on the big night.
