Random Vegas July 2nd is a popular date to open a casino, just before the 4th of July weekend crowd comes in. In Vegas history, 5 properties have opened on July 2nd.  They are the Stardust which opened in 1958, International, best known as the Hilton but currently known as Westgate, opened in 1969, Plaza opened in 1971, Holiday Casino, known today as Harrah’s, opened in 1972 and Sundance, known today as the D, opened in 1980.

The Landmark is another one of those properties that lives on idyllically in people’s minds, a Vegas legend. News Best Lobby Bars View and Drinks Bottled Blonde
