The Landmark Hotel and Casino

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia, by MultiMedia

The Landmark in 1986.

The Landmark Tower was a hotel/casino located in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Landmark opened on July 4, 1969, and closed in 1990.

The Landmark was a futuristic hotel/casino tower, located one block off the Las Vegas Strip. At 31 stories, it was at one time the tallest building in Las Vegas. The hotel/casino was built and owned by the reclusive Howard Hughes.

The Landmark played host to famous celebrities such as Danny Thomas, Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra.

With just 500 rooms, the Landmark was small in comparison to the newer Las Vegas megaresorts. In 1990, the property was sold to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. The property was soon shut down, and six years later on November 7, 1995, the tower was imploded. In its place is a parking lot for the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Movie History

The elevators were used in the filming of a scene in Diamonds Are Forever.

The implosion of The Landmark was used in the film Mars Attacks!.

Whereas buildings are usually gutted to prepare for demolition, electrical wiring and lights were allowed to remain, so as part of the movie's special effects, the lights in The Landmark were left on before and during the implosion.
