This year marks the 25th anniversary, or birthday—however you’d like to describe it— for some monumental Las Vegas Strip resorts. Mandalay Bay celebrated in March, Venetian in May and Paris will party in September. The Cromwell (formerly Barbary Coast and Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall) opened 45 years ago, and in December Aria will hit its 15-year mark.
Just east of the Strip, however, an older, yet equally iconic casino property is celebrating 55 years of life in Las Vegas in July, and its unique history cannot be compared to the others.
For the last decade, it’s been Westgate Las Vegas, owned and operated by timeshare developer David Siegel.
