Yes a space theme has failed before in Las Vegas but come on, it was Bob Stupak behind it. Just like Luxor before it, I wonder how long those themed attractions will last. Another problem with a space themed resort is how quickly things can look dated. $5 billion dollars is a crazy price tag for a concept that is clearly targeting the middle class. Only time will tell if this concept comes to market but considering its Vegas, I wouldn’t bet on it.</span> </span></p>360 Vegashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11653668262433978534noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058953826226765709.post-53233057613901792732024-01-20T04:00:00.007-08:002024-01-20T04:00:00.152-08:00Jay Sarno<iframe allowtransparency="true" data-name="pb-iframe-player" height="150" scrolling="no" src="https://www.podbean.com/player-v2/?i=a3nv6-111696f-pb&from=pb6admin&share=1&download=1&rtl=0&fonts=Arial&skin=2&font-color=&btn-skin=7" style="border: none; min-width: min(100%, 430px);" title="360 Vintage Vegas PCP - Jay Sarno" width="100%"></iframe>

His contributions to the strip, Caesars Palace and Circus Circus, are complete opposites on the theme and customer base scale. While he was many things, a womanizer and a gambling addict, no one can dispute that he was also a visionary. Jay Sarno was exactly what Vegas wanted during a time when all its current owners were being scrutinized by attorney general Bobby Kennedy; a legit guy with no previous connection to organized crime.</span></p><div class="_2TO-components-SimpleRichTextEditor--paragraphElement" data-block="true" data-editor="c1tt3" data-offset-key="cbmil-0-0" style="caret-color: rgb(36, 30, 18);

During that time, people talked about the strip like they do off strip properties today, too far from the action. Turns out what people really wanted was more options and the development of the strip over the years has been nothing short of remarkable. The question is, does the strip have a limit to the number of properties it can support, or do the struggles facing places like Sahara fall directly on the shoulders of the properties experiencing them. Give the people what they want and they will come. If you follow that sentiment then the question has to be asked, do people not want what Sahara has to offer? Is that why they are struggling?</span></p><div class="_2TO-components-SimpleRichTextEditor--paragraphElement" data-block="true" data-editor="f6tvt" data-offset-key="deqvs-0-0" style="caret-color: rgb(36, 30, 18);

He’s the owner and CEO of El Cortez. Much more than that, he’s the guy that made the conscious decision to not remodel the property but to refresh it while retaining the vintage feel the property permeates. Kenny understands what El Cortez does so well and sees the value in continuing to service those customers. So instead he upgraded just about everything in the property, all without changing the esthetic. This year, the El Cortez, and Kenny, celebrate their 80th birthday. So we took the opportunity to talk history and the El Cortez with the man himself in the first ever 360 Vintage Vegas Interview.</span></p><div class="DraftEditor-paragraphElement" data-block="true" data-editor="fot0" data-offset-key="au85i-0-0" style="font-family: "ABC Oracle Plus Variable", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 1em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="au85i-0-0" style="direction: ltr; position: relative;"><div style="background-image: url("https://c10.patreonusercontent.com/4/patreon-media/p/post/92148653/fc8b7e9346c4482eb89c930b864f7d4c/eyJ3ZWJwIjowfQ%3D%3D/1.JPG?token-time=1700179200&token-hash=UxGeC3EMegst3NWRBkpUSmkRUsWRF2wZHoaLlPALaoo%3D"); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: contain; border: 1px solid var(--global-content-muted-default); font-size: 428.764544px; height: 428.764544px; letter-spacing: 643.639648px; line-height: 428.764544px; min-height: 16px; min-width: 16px; overflow: hidden; vertical-align: bottom; width: 643.639648px;"> </div></div></div>360 Vegashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11653668262433978534noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058953826226765709.post-19710038127111607872023-10-21T04:00:00.000-07:002024-03-16T15:15:00.717-07:00Benny Binion<iframe allowtransparency="true" data-name="pb-iframe-player" height="150" scrolling="no" src="https://www.podbean.com/player-v2/?i=m4bf4-110e1fe-pb&from=pb6admin&share=1&download=1&rtl=0&fonts=Arial&skin=2&font-color=auto&btn-skin=7" style="border: none; min-width: min(100%, 430px);" title="PCP - Vintage Benny Binion" width="100%"></iframe>

It took decades for the market to get that way but it seems every time change is needed, the city finds a way to adapt and evolve. At the end, the Hacienda looked miniature next to its new neighbors Luxor and Excalibur.

Thankfully part of that evolution includes other properties adapting to cater to the audience that once frequented the Hacienda.</span></div><div><div class="_2TO-components-SimpleRichTextEditor--paragraphElement" data-block="true" data-editor="103qm" data-offset-key="61jqt-0-0" style="margin: 1em 0px;"><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="61jqt-0-0" style="direction: ltr;

Fremont St is one of the lucky few places that started as the epicenter of the city, then became an afterthought thanks to the strip, and finally reinvented to draw crowds back to it. The Fremont St Experience has secured itself as a must see attraction, as popular as the Fountains of Bellagio and the Mirage volcano. </span></div></div><div class="_2TO-components-SimpleRichTextEditor--paragraphElement" data-block="true" data-editor="3nsln" data-offset-key="em3iu-0-0" style="caret-color: rgb(36, 30, 18); font-family: aktiv-grotesk, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 1em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="em3iu-0-0" style="direction: ltr; position: relative;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">

By the time I came to the city for the first time she was already a rundown, grind joint on the strip. But Vegas history is Vegas history. So it was inevitable that at some point this property would capture my attention long enough to learn all I could about it. Turns out I don’t have to love a property to find them interesting and worthy of a 360 Vintage Vegas segment.</span></p></div>360 Vegashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11653668262433978534noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058953826226765709.post-8270329536766502642022-07-23T04:00:00.005-07:002023-08-20T05:25:12.736-07:00Evolution of Fremont E-1<iframe allowtransparency="true" data-name="pb-iframe-player" height="150" loading="lazy" scrolling="no" src="https://www.podbean.com/player-v2/?i=5u48m-d82bae-pb&from=pb6admin&share=1&download=1&rtl=0&fonts=Arial&skin=2&font-color=&logo_link=episode_page&btn-skin=7" style="border: none; height: 150px; min-width: min(100%, 430px);" title="PCP - Evolution of Fremont E-1" width="100%"></iframe>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">While many architecture academics have criticized Las Vegas for its lack of substance, there may be no better example of this elitism than the scorn directed towards the Stardust. For better or worse, history points to the Stardust as the defining moment when Las Vegas no longer required a jacket and tie to gain entrance to. Instead of celebrating the brilliance in the Stardust’s minimalism, it was trashed for focusing more on the exterior signage and façade, wrapped around a building that was little more than a massive, non-descript warehouse. Whether inadvertent or by intention, it seems each time Vegas has successfully evolved to appeal to more diverse tastes, that success is met with opposition; Slut Shaming those who dare to find things appealing like neon signage, themed resorts or anything deemed inferior to "intellectual" tastes. But the glory that is Las Vegas is knowing that judging people for what appeals to them has never made converts, it alienates; even if supplying that demand is more financially motivated than cultural. When the majority doesn't see things the way you'd like them to, that doesn't mean they're wrong, it means you don't get it. The Stardust got it, in a big way. </span>

Its contribution to the experiences available in the market is a unique blend of classic intimacy and affordable luxury. Many properties in Vegas seek to transport you from everyday life to a personal version of paradise but the use of bright spaces gives it a feeling of warmth and carelessness.

There are a collection of men who helped build the city of Las Vegas during its formative years that didn’t have colored pasts. Their origins are not linked to organized crime and their stories aren’t the sort of things people make movies about. However they would become the shining examples that the gaming industry could not only exist without the Mob but could continue to grow. A fact that was established in 1941 and continues to endure to this day. The El Cortez is the city’s oldest hotel casino to continuously operate under the same name and only the 2<sup>nd</sup> casino ever added to the nation’s historical preservation list. It’s also the only casino on that list still open to this day. This is the story of the people and the properties that shaped Downtown Las Vegas.<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Today, Bob Stupak is considered just another colorful character in the history Las Vegas and properly credited as the visionary behind Stratosphere. His tacky taste, public antics and wacky persona are all just part of his legend. The truth is, Bob embodies everything negative you've ever been warned about gambling and the industry. He didn't want to just take your money, he wanted to make you look foolish while he did it. His nickname might as well have been "fine print Stupak” because just about everything he did had a catch to it or a technicality he hoped you would miss so he could exploit. He preyed on those that didn't know better. But what's wrong with that? Most people know there is a mathematically proven way to play some games and yet willfully choose to ignore them in favor of strategies that increase the odds already stacked against them. Some people believe the earth is flat. The fact is we all have access to the same information, especially in the Internet age. The only disadvantage one person has over another is self-imposed. An intellectual isn't discourage from using their acquired knowledge so why is gambling any different? Morality, you say? Well, as Canada Bill Jones said, it's immoral to let a sucker keep his money. I’m pretty sure Bob just thought it was fun.</span><br />

Determining what is considered “good” is about as subjective as subjective can be. Most people today will point to the time before the strip was primarily owned by 2 companies, MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment. While the benefits of consolidation are obvious, potentially the best thing about it is the story of how it all happened. To do that, we are going to have to trace back to how these assets exchanged hands before finally ending up in the corporate portfolio that are currently a part of.</span><span class="TextRun SCXW96268439 BCX4" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 19.425px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" xml:lang="EN-US"> </span><span class="TextRun SCXW96268439 BCX4" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 19.425px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" xml:lang="EN-US">To keep the story clean and the timeline defined, we are only going to focus on the majority owners and only their moves in Las Vegas</span><span class="TextRun SCXW96268439 BCX4" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 19.425px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" xml:lang="EN-US">.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sam Boyd was a gambler at heart. Once he discovered his passion for games of chance, he studied them feverously, learning that in every game, the advantage was always in the houses favor. So Sam decided the best way to gamble was to be the house. And that’s how his career in gaming began. Sam’s son Bill was encouraged from a young age to get an education. So he did and became a lawyer but eventually the father and son would join forces and become a team that grew into one of the most respected gaming companies in the world. Factor in their inherent desire to do the right thing and give back to the community, and you instantly start to suspect there’s more to the story than what you’re being told. But dig as deep as you like, there’s no more. The story of Sam, Bill and Boyd Gaming may be one of the greatest American success stories in history and overwhelming proof that sometimes, nice guys finish first.</span><br />

Intensely private, Kerkorian’s legacy may not be as well known as Steve Wynn’s but is unarguably one of the most important in Vegas history. Some will criticize MGM as the shinning example of the faceless corporate machine that has taken over the city but without the corporate evolution of the market, the expansion of gaming around the United States, and the world for that matter, would have never been possible. Corporations removed the negative stigmatism the gambling industry had for eons and made it a viable, bordering on respectable business model, now regarded as just another form of entertainment.</div>

He’s definitely one of the biggest in gaming history. Like Walt Disney before him, Steve Wynn saw the way things were and dreamed of how they could be better, then brought them to life. He’s a visionary with a gift for promotion, a legacy of world renowned landmarks and a charm that can make him instantly likable. This is the story of an icon.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Landmark existed for 34 years, 1961-1995, and during that time, sat empty and unused for a 3<sup>rd</sup> of its life. Make no mistake, the Landmark was a great idea. It just never had the support it needed to reach its potential. It resembles everything that is great about Las Vegas. Any grand idea can live here, if only here. Want to build Paris in the desert, sure; Recreate ancient Roman decadence, why not; put a casino in the sky, give it a shot. The sobering reality is it takes much more than a visionary idea to succeed in Vegas and there are many examples to prove that. Rather than lament it’s passing we should celebrate the fact that it had a chance. There are literally dozens of visionary projects planned for Las Vegas that never make it beyond the concept phase. Currently north strip is home to 3 of them in various stages of incompletion. Regardless of it’s inability to become a financial success, the Landmark was able to literally live up to it’s name, establish itself as one of the most memorable properties in the landscape of Las Vegas history.Hughes FingerprintThe PoolGalaxy HotelFall of a Landmark</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Looking at the same thing everyone else sees and seeing it in a way no one else before has is just one of the many reasons he took a property that failed almost the day it opened and turned it into the most successful gaming company in Vegas history. Yet, despite all he accomplished, I wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve never even heard of a man referred to by many as one of the most influential in the evolution of Las Vegas. This is Bill Bennett’s story. </span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Make no mistake about it, Bill Bennett was a genius; a true pioneer in gaming. While history will forever glorify the legacy of Steve Wynn and Kirk Kerkorian, Bill Bennett is the reason Las Vegas is as popular and diverse as it is today. Before him, no one in Vegas seemed to care about the majority of the people who listen to shows like ours. While some argue things have changed for the worst and lament for the days of old when tuxes and gowns were required attire for an evening in Las Vegas, Bennett saw that it was a place that should be enjoyed by all. While he never cared much for self promotion or the kind of attention Wynn embraces, ultimately he did want credit for what he did. While historians recognize him as one the most important figures in the cities history, we honor his memory by making sure you, the listener, die-hard lovers of Las Vegas, know this as well.</span></div>
