Information

Date
1960 (year approximate) to 1986 (year approximate)
Description
Identified as a view of the Tally Ho buildings and golf course, but it is unclear if this is the correct location. For another view see Source ID 0220_0010, Digital ID pho026244. Toy manufacturer Edwin S. Lowe originally opened the 450-room Tally Ho hotel on the property in 1963. The Tally Ho was the only major hotel in Nevada to not include a casino. Milton Prell purchased the hotel in January 1966 and began an extensive $3 million renovation of the property before reopening it as the Aladdin on April 1, 1966. A 19-story hotel tower was added in 1972. After various ownership changes, the Aladdin was closed in 1997 and demolished the following year to make room for a new resort that would also be named Aladdin. The new Aladdin resort opened in August 2000, but suffered financial difficulties and was eventually purchased in 2003 by a partnership of Planet Hollywood and Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, which renamed it as Planet Hollywood in 2007. The property is located at 3667 South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109.
