HI ALEX ... GREETINGS FROM "LOST VEGAS" .... I INTERVIEWED BOB ONCE AND HE TOLD ME THE FOLLOWING .... STEVE WYNN WANTED TO PURCHASE THAT SMALL CORNER PARCEL NEXT TO CASESARS PALACE. HOWARD HUGHES DID OWN IT AND AS YOU KNOW NEVER SOLD ANY LAND. STEVE WYNN LEARNED THAT HOWARD HUGHES WAS LEASING THE LARGE PARKING LOT ON CENVENTION CENTER DRIVE TO USE FOR THE LANDMARK HOTEL .... STEVE WYNN THRU HIS BANKER FRIEND (PERRY THOMAS) BOUGHT THIS LAND AND THEN APPROACHED BOB TO A SALE / TRADE SO HOWARD COULD OWN THE LEASED PARKING PARCEL. THAT'S WHAT GOT STEVE A BIG PAYDAY AFTER SELLING TO CAESARS PALACE.
