Actually it’s Kirk Krikorian who reinvented las vegas. Bugsy segal and Steve Wynn are puppies compared to what this man did. Kirk had arrived in Las Vegas in the late 1940s and was massively instrumentally in reinventing that city. His family still owns majority of hotels on the strip.
Still give massive props to Kirk for dimming the lights out of respect on the Las Vegas strip for Jerry tarkanian after he passed. Jerry still The greatest sports figure in Las Vegas history. Kirk was well respected and I personally will never forget that.
