Random Vegas
In 1968, Las Vegas could lay claim to the 3 tallest electric signs in the world. The Dunes at 180, the Frontier at 184 and the Stardust at 188 feet tall

How can you not be proud of that collection of properties? Specifically, it feels like MGM treats @LuxorLV and Excalibur like unwanted commodities. Which is funny because they bought Mandalay Resorts, one of the most profitable gaming companies in history, with a portfolio that primarily catered to the middle class. Since then they’ve sold off Circus Circus and threatened redevelopment to both Luxor and Excalibur. Instead they should feel psyched that in that string of properties, you make up virtually every demographic you want to attract to Las Vegas. Not to mention, you are in prime real estate to attract ALL those who attend events at Allegiant and the current wave of sports in Vegas. Here’s some million dollar advice for free MGM. Leave Luxor and Excalibur alone. Sure, update and take care of them inside but leave the architecture alone. You found this company attractive for a reason. Stop trying to fix it.

This is another property I have an irrational affinity for. Like the Fontainebleau today, the Landmark was a project that stalled for almost a decade before it was completed. Unfortunately, she wasn’t finished by someone who had a passion for her and therefore she struggled. Once it did open it was no longer the tallest building in the city so the cache of that concept was lost. But still, something about her casino in the sky that just sounds appealing. Probably why it still exists for high rollers in properties like Encore. Regardless, I never got to see the Landmark and therefore she will remain idealized to me, like she is in this picture shared by
