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.
Business
Week once wrote that “Frank Sinatra Gives Las Vegas It’s Glitter, Parry Thomas
gives it its gold. In a city known for it’s neon lights, flamboyant
owners and epic mega resorts, the man who helped make it all happen is
virtually unknown to the 39 million people that visit it annually, and that’s
the way Parry likes it.
