Hughes didn't build the Landmark, he bought when it was nearly complete, after nearly a decade of stop & start construction. This was near the end of his Las Vegas buying spree in the late 60s, apparently a vanity purchase made just to put his mark on that street near where Kirk Kerkorian was building a much larger hotel at the time, the International (LV Hilton, Westgate).
