Architect Martin Stern, Jr. redefined the skyline of Las Vegas with his exuberant style.
"Mr. Stern went on to design a significant part of Las Vegas's skyline, including a skyscraper and convention center at the Sahara Hotel and the MGM Grand Hotel, which became Bally's. He also designed the 26-story Mint Hotel.He was part of the second generation of Las Vegas architects. Space had become more expensive, and the sprawling motel-like developments of earlier years no longer made economic sense. He and contemporaries like Wayne McAllister adapted by building hotels with towers that replaced neon signs as the defining elements."
