The first casino on this site opened in 1963 as the Tally-Ho. After several permutations and the addition of a 15-story illuminated "Aladdin's Lamp" it emerged as The Aladdin in 1966. A year later it became famous as the place where Elvis Presley married Priscilla Ann Wagner. In 1980 Wayne Newton, Mr. Las Vegas, bought the resort for $85 million but the property went into bankruptcy four years later. It finally closed in 1997 and everything save for the Aladdin Theatre was imploded the next year. The new Aladdin opened in 2000 but never was able to get its nose above water financially and was sold to Planet Hollywood in 2003. Rooms in the 37-floor hotel are dedicated to a Hollywood movie and decorated with a prop or memorabilia from the film's production.
