Landmark Hotel and Casino

The Landmark was a hotel and casino located in Winchester,Nevada, east of the Las Vegas Strip and across from the Las Vegas ConventionCenter. Frank Caroll, also known as Frank Caracciolo, was a building developerfrom Kansas City. In 1960, he and his wife Susan decided to construct ahotel-casino and shopping center in Las Vegas. Frank Caroll received a gaminglicense that year. In 1961, the Carolls purchased 22 acres of land at thenorthwest corner of Convention Center Drive and Paradise Road in Winchester,Nevada. In 1968, billionaire Howard Hughes reached an agreement to purchase theLandmark through Hughes Tool Company for $17.3 million.

The Landmark opened on the night of July 1, 1969, a daybefore the International Hotel. The resort was first unveiled to 480 VIP guestsprior to the public opening, which was scheduled for after 9:00 p.m. Apollo 10astronauts Thomas P. Stafford and Eugene Cernan attended the grand opening andwere the first people to enter the new resort. Other guests included CaryGrant, Dean Martin, Jimmy Webb, Phil Harris, Tony Bennett, Sammy Cahn, Steveand Eydie, and Wilt Chamberlain. Nevada governor Paul Laxalt, as well assenators Alan Bible and Howard Cannon, were also at the opening.

The uniquely designed Landmark tower was the first of itskind to be built in Nevada; its design was inspired by the Space Needle locatedin Seattle, Washington.

At 5:37 a.m. on November 7, 1995, the Landmark tower wasdemolished through implosion. An estimated 7,000 people arrived to witness theimplosion. Upon detonation, the tower\'s northwest half was brought down,followed by the second half, which caved in on itself, followed by a blackcloud of dust ascending 150 feet into the air. Most of the material from thedemolished structure was to be recycled and used in other constructionprojects. The 31-story tower was the tallest reinforced concrete building everdemolished in North America, and the second tallest building in the world to bedemolished. Demolition and related expenses cost $3 million. Frank Wright,curator of the Nevada State Museum and Historical Society, said \"I kind ofhate to see it come down,\" stating that the Landmark tower stillrepresented what the then-upcoming Stratosphere tower represented: \"thebiggest and the tallest.\" The property was to become occupied by 2,200parking spaces, expected to be ready by March 1996. One of the Landmark\'sground-level signs, with gold and blue cursive neon lettering, was restored bythe Neon Museum and installed at the parking lot.
