Many regard Jay Sarno as the father of the themed casino as well as the mind behind family friendly Las Vegas. His contributions to the strip, Caesars Palace and Circus Circus, are complete opposites on the theme and customer base scale. While he was many things, a womanizer and a gambling addict, no one can dispute that he was also a visionary. Jay Sarno was exactly what Vegas wanted during a time when all its current owners were being scrutinized by attorney general Bobby Kennedy; a legit guy with no previous connection to organized crime.

PCP - 360 Vintage Vegas: E Parry Thomas: The man who helped Las Vegas develop into the 1 tourist destination in the world wasn’t a casino owner, a performer, a dealer or an architect. He didn’t create the Neon Signs, develop any casino standard practices or build any of its properties. However, without E Parry Thomas, virtually none of the aforementioned would exist. An argument can be made that no single individual has done more to direct the growth and development of Las Vegas in the last half century than E Parry Thomas. by 360 Vegas
