Vegas World was a space-themed casino and hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, developed and operated by Bob Stupak. Opening on July 13, 1979, on a site where Stupak's earlier casino had burned in 1974, it initially featured a 15,000-square-foot casino and 90 rooms in an eight-story tower. A 25-story tower was added in 1984, followed by an additional wing in 1990, expanding the property to 932 total rooms. The resort became known for architectural and gaming superlatives, including the world's first quarter-million and million-dollar slot-machine jackpots, the world's largest mural, the world's largest Big Six wheel, and reputedly the world's largest exterior sign. The property closed on February 1, 1995, to be repurposed as part of Stupak's ambitious new Stratosphere project, with its two hotel towers renovated for the new casino's use.
