Above Them All: The Story Of The Landmark Hotel & Casino

The Landmark Hotel & Casino was considered by many to be an eyesore and a failure before it was even completed. Developer Frank Caroll's dream struggled to become reality through seven years of stop-and-go construction. Money problems and legal disputes plagued the Landmark throughout its construction as well as its entire operational life. A string of owners, including the eccentric Howard Hughes, struggled to make the Las Vegas property a success but fate refused to roll the dice in their favor. Filled with rare photos, interviews with employees, and backed by over a decade of research. From its development and construction, through its operational life, to its twilight years of abandonment and eventual destruction to make room for a parking lot, this is the story of the "tower above them all" in Las Vegas. 9781387712571 1387712578 110 History NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=_BZ-DwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&edge=curl&source=gbs_api en
