Your father’s Las Vegas

When liberated from his helicopter (he’s on the traffic beat) KSNV-TV‘s Tom Hawley endeavors to educate early-rising Las Vegans on Sin City’s past. Here he takes a look at the lasting influences of architects Martin Stern Jr. and Homer Rissman, and reminds us of the quiet, undervalued role of Kirk Kerkorian in revolutionizing the Strip’s look. If you’re in town and can get to the UNLV campus, by all means see this exhibit! That’s an order.
