With all the consolidation of the casino industry, how many casinos in Las Vegas, particularly the Strip, are owned by one person?
On the Strip proper, Phil Ruffin owns Treasure Island, Alex Meruelo owns SLS, and Margaret Elardi (93 years old and going strong) owns Casino Royale. Farther south on Las Vegas Blvd., Michael Gaughan is sole owner of South Point and Ed Roski, Jr., owns Silverton.
Derek Stevens owns the downtown D Las Vegas and Golden Gate, and is building a 777-room hotel-casino with his brother Greg. Terry Caudill owns Four Queens and Binion's and Kenny Epstein owns El Cortez.
We're pretty sure that's all of them. Let us know if we missed anyone.
