The 3 great men

3 great men contributed to the Modern Las Vegas

Before talking about the birth of ent!get, we will introduce 3 great men contributed to the modern Las Vegas.

Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel (February 28, 1906 June 20, 1947)
He was an American gangster, who was behind large-scale development of Las Vegas.

Gambling was legal in USA since 1931 and Siegel had his eyes on Las Vegas as it was very small and was not social place for celebrities like now.
Siegel came to Las Vegas in 1941, backed by the Chicago Outfit to establish the Trans America race wire service. He traveled there often with Mickey Cohen.

In 1945, Siegel purchased The El Cortez on Fremont Street for $600,000 and later sold it for a $166,000 profit. At the same time, Siegel and his organized crime associates learned Wilkerson had run out of money on his project. They used the profits from the El Cortez sale to influence Wilkerson to accept new partners. Siegel and such partners as Frank Costello and Meyer Lansky invested $1 million in the new property, allowing Wilkerson to keep a one-third ownership stake and operational control.

Siegel took over the final phases of construction and convinced more of his underworld associates to invest in the project. The problem was, Siegel had no experience in construction or design, causing costs to mount from constant changes and gouging from construction firms and suppliers including, it was reputed, workers who delivered by day, stole by night, and resold the next day. Siegel may actually have bought some of the same materials twice thanks to this kind of scheming.

Siegel lost patience with the rising costs, and his notorious outbursts unnerved his construction foreman. Reputedly, Siegel told him, "Don't worry, we only kill each other."
Siegel finally opened, as The Pink Flamingo Hotel & Casino, at a total cost of $6 million on December 26, 1946. Billed as the world's most luxurious hotel, the 105-room property was built seven miles from Downtown Las Vegas, with a large sign built in front of the construction site announcing it was a William R. Wilkerson project, with Del Webb Construction as the prime contractor and Richard Stadelman (who later made renovations to the El Rancho Las Vegas) the architect.

Siegel named the resort after his girlfriend Virginia Hill, who loved to gamble and whose nickname was Flamingo---a nickname Siegel gave her due to her long, skinny legs.
But by January 1947 Siegel had to order the resort closed until the hotel could be finished. However, the Flamingo re-opened in March despite the hotel not being complete, and this time, the results proved different. By May, the resort reported a $250,000 profit, allowing Lansky to point out that Siegel was right about Las Vegas, after all. But it wasn't quite enough to save Siegel.

On 20 June 1947, relaxing and reading news paper in the Hollywood bungalow he shared with Hill, who was away at the time, Siegel was shot to death by a hit man.
After Siegel's death, casino management changed the hotel name to The Fabulous Flamingo on March 1, 1947, and in time the Flamingo presented lavish shows and accommodations for its time, becoming well known for comfortable, air conditioned rooms, gardens, and swimming pools. Often credited for popularizing the "complete experience" as opposed to merely gambling, the Flamingo staff became known for wearing tuxedos on the job, and in 1950 the resort's Champagne Tower opened.
Even though Siegel's dream did not come true, the Las Vegas has flourished in the middle of desert. It is not too much to say that Siegel is the father of the Las Vegas.


Howard Robard Hughes, Jr. (24 December 1905 5 April 1976)

He was an American aviator, engineer, industrialist, film producer and director, and one of the wealthiest people in the world.

He is famous for setting multiple world air-speed records, building the Hughes H-1 Racer and H-4 Hercules aircraft, producing the movies Hell's Angels, Scarface and The Outlaw, as well as owning and expanding Trans World Airlines.

Hughes inherited 75% of the family fortune when his father Howard Hughes, Sr. died in January 1924. Hughes dropped out of Rice University shortly after his father's death. In June 1925, he married Ella Rice, and moved to Hollywood, where Hughes hoped to make a name for himself making movies. On 10 July 1938 Hughes set another record by completing a flight around the world in just 91 hours (3 days, 19 hours), beating the previous record by more than four days.

On 10 July 1938 Hughes set another record by completing a flight around the world in just 91 hours (3 days, 19 hours), and in 1939, at the urging of Jack Frye, president of TWA, Hughes quietly purchased a majority share of TWA stock for nearly $7 million and took control of the airline.
In 1948, Hughes gained control of RKO (Radio-Keith-Orpheum), a struggling major Hollywood studio, by acquiring 25% of the outstanding stock. During his tenure, RKO suffered as a result of his management style. Within weeks of taking control, he dismissed three-quarters of the work force and production was shut down for six months in 1949 while he undertook the investigation of the politics of all remaining studio employees.

Hughes was famous as a businessman, however, he left a big locus in establishing Las Vegas.
On 27 November 1966, Hughes arrived in Las Vegas by railroad car and moved into the Desert Inn. Refusing to leave the hotel and to avoid further conflicts with the owners of the hotel, Hughes bought the Desert Inn in early 1967.

Between 1966 and 1968, Hughes bought several other hotels/casinos (Castaways, New Frontier, The Landmark Hotel and Casino, Sands, and Silver Slipper) from the Mafia.
Hughes wanted to change the image of Las Vegas from its mobsters in gaudy silk suits and thousand-dollar-a-night call girls to something more glamorous.

Hughes was involved in a near-fatal aircraft accident on 7 July 1946, and started using morphine as a painkiller during his convalescence.
By the late 1950s Hughes had developed debilitating symptoms of social avoidance behavior and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), which manifested itself in various ways.

Hughes died on 5 April 1976, at 1:27 PM while on an aircraft owned by Robert Graf, en route from his penthouse in Acapulco, Mexico to The Methodist Hospital in Houston.
It has also been argued that he died before leaving Mexico inside his penthouse at the "Acapulco Princess Hotel". His reclusive activities and drug use had made him practically unrecognizable; his hair, beard, fingernails, and toenails had grown grossly long, his once-strapping 6'4" (193 cm) frame now weighed barely 90 lb (41 kg), and the FBI had to resort to fingerprints to identify the body.

Even though Hughes has unfortunate accident in his life, it is true that he changed Las Vegas to the safe city for people.



Stephen Alan Wynn
(born January 27, 1942 in New Haven, Connecticut)

Stephen Wynn is an American casino resort developer who is credited with spearheading the dramatic resurgence and expansion of the Las Vegas, Nevada, Strip in the 1990s.

Wynn changed deserted area in Nevada into a world famous enormous amusement city.
Wynn was born in Utica, New York, in 1942 and graduated from The Manlius School, a private boys' school east of Syracuse, New York, in 1959.
Wynn took over running the family's bingo operation in Maryland. He did well enough at it to accumulate the money to buy a small stake in the Frontier Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, where he and Elaine moved in 1967.

Wynn managed to parlay his profits from a land deal in 1971 (the deal involved two established titans of the Las Vegas casino business, Howard Hughes and Caesars Palace) into a controlling interest in the landmark downtown casino, the Golden Nugget Las Vegas (he also owned The Golden Nugget in Atlantic City, New Jersey).
Wynn renovated, revamped and expanded the Golden Nugget from a gambling hall to a resort hotel and casino with enormous success, in the process attracting a new upscale clientele to downtown Las Vegas.

Wynn had previously acquired interests in various existing casinos. His first major Strip casino, The Mirage, which opened in 1989, set a new standard for size and lavishness, with construction costs to match. The Mirage featured an indoor forest and an outdoor "volcano," and with high-quality room appointments and an emphasis on service, the Mirage was another great success. The Mirage was the first project in which he was involved in the design and construction of a casino.
The $630 million cost to build The Mirage was financed largely with junk bonds issued by Michael Milken. The Mirage was considered a risky venture by the standards then prevailing in Las Vegas because of its high cost and emphasis on luxury. However, it proved to be enormously successful and made Wynn a major part of Las Vegas history.

Wynn's next project was Treasure Island Hotel and Casino. It opened in 1993, costing Wynn $450 million with its live pirate show and location next to the Mirage, Treasure Island was another success for Wynn.

In 1988 Wynn expanded further on his concept of the luxury casino with Bellagio, a $1.6 billion resort, including an artificial lake, indoor conservatory, a museum-quality art gallery and branches of high-end boutiques and restaurants from Paris, France; San Francisco, California; and New York City, New York.
The Bellagio is credited with starting a new spree of luxurious developments in Las Vegas.
However, Wynn spent all his money in building Bellagio, resulting selling Mirage Resorts to MGM Grand Inc. for $6.6 billion in June 2000 to form MGM Mirage.
With the money he made on that deal, and with his ability to secure ever-greater financing, Wynn built a new resort, his most expensive yet, the Wynn Las Vegas, which opened on the former site of the Desert Inn on April 28, 2005.
Wynn Las Vegas is owned and operated by Wynn Resorts Limited, of which Wynn is chairman and chief executive officer.
Wynn became a billionaire in 2004, when his net worth doubled to $1.3 billion.
Wynn has successfully bid for one of the three gaming concessions that were opened for tender in Macau, a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China, which has a long history of gaming and is the largest gaming market in the world, having surpassed Las Vegas in 2006.
This property, known as Wynn Macau, opened on 5 September 2006.

It is not exaggeration to say that Stephen Wynn is the one who has established the current in Las Vegas.

Above mentioned 3 men chased their dreams to the middle of desert and has established the Las Vegas where offers the best entertainment. Till today the Las Vegas has been growing.
ent!get staffs believe that it is necessary for online casino fields to grow like Las Vegas.
