After over a year of work, we have launched a NEW and TOTALLY REDESIGNED website for the memorial! LOADED with new features, this new memorial website will preserve the Landmark's memory like never before. There is an extensive history section, floor plans, photos, an interactive virtual memorabilia museum, and more! Go have a look and let us now what you think!

Welcome to the official Landmark Hotel Memorial! This site stands as a tribute to this architectural marvel and it's place in Las Vegas history.

A very rare photo of the Landmark under construction in 1963 in color at dusk. It was taken by Bernard Gotfryd and found its way to the Library of Congress where it was mislabeled and only just recently identified.

When the Landmark opened, the color scheme outside was mostly blue while the interior was very red. In 1984, the exterior lighting was changed to red.

When the Landmark was originally built, the 29th floor contained a casino, the Mandarin Room restaurant, Sky Bar lounge, and a showroom (which was quickly repurposed as a movie theater). A spiral staircase led from the 27th floor to the 29th (there was no 30th) so guests could quickly access the casino or lounge. When the 29th floor was gutted in 1971 and converted into suites, the staircase remained. During the 1984 remodel, the staircase was removed and a chandelier from the former Prime Rib Room was placed there instead.

The Landmark sat dark for 5 years after her closure in August 1990. Only radio station KLAV continued to operate in the tower until they could relocate to a new facility.

There's nothing like relaxing by the pool behind a waterfall on a hot day - July 1985
