A full-circle moment in Las Vegas history. ✨
Tonight, two generations of Las Vegas visionaries came face to face.
Following @NeonMuseum’s “Reflections of the Mirage”, @DerekJStevens met Steve Wynn, the man whose vision helped shape modern Las Vegas and inspired Derek’s own journey in building #CircaLasVegas.
From the visionary who redefined the Strip to the man revitalizing Downtown, this was more than an introduction.
A moment of mutual admiration, respect, and a shared love for Las Vegas. 💙

Circus Circus, which opened on October 18, 1968, was built by Jay Sarno and Stanley Mallin. Explaining the casino's double name, Sarno said:
"At first I planned a Roman circus motif, but changed my mind and decided to build a circus like we are all familiar with – instead of a Roman circus, it's a circus circus."

First ever @CaesarsPalace Grand Prix
October 17, 1981🎥BBC
"The casino had taken four years to negotiate hosting the race and spent a lot of money to build the track but their space limitations delivered uninspiring fare.
The result, a flat, 14-turn, 2.2-mile counter-clockwise track going back and forth on itself was aesthetically uninspiring, lacking any character or indeed landmarks.
The relentless series of corners with no real straights to speak of or even fast turns were punishing on the cars but also on the drivers. Alan Jones, who had won the world championship for Williams in 1980, would master it that first year when it was the final race of the season and the championship decider.
'It was very hot and fatiguing and there were so many corners a lot of people suffered with sore necks, and I was one,' Jones says. 'For the final six or seven laps, I would go through a left-hander and my head would fall over to the right and I would have to wait for the next right-hander for it to come back up again'.”
