AcesUp46 0 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 That's quite a cool pic. It'd be nice if someone could come up with a time lapse video montage of Vegas Strip from 1954 to now. The growth is quite scary I think, Link to post Share on other sites

pezeveng 207 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Selling the original MGM plot of land (which is Ballys now) is what helped Krikorian build his empire from what I remember. He than sold the other side of Ceasars which was a parking lot for a tonne of cash and that really got the ball rolling. Link to post Share on other sites
