About
The Landmark Hotel & Casino was a distinctive tower casino that operated from 1969 to 1990. Its unique 31-story mushroom-shaped tower made it one of the most recognizable buildings in Las Vegas. Howard Hughes purchased the property in 1969 and personally opened it on July 1, 1969, the same day that the International Hotel (later the Las Vegas Hilton) opened across the street. The Landmark struggled financially throughout its existence despite its iconic appearance. It was famously featured in the 1971 James Bond film 'Diamonds Are Forever' and its implosion in 1995 was used in the film 'Mars Attacks!'
