Aladdin, Casino and hotel complex on Las Vegas Strip, US
The Aladdin was a resort on South Las Vegas Boulevard with 1,100 rooms and a gaming floor covering around 3,400 square meters (37,000 square feet), housing 500 slot machines and numerous gaming tables. The complex occupied roughly 14 hectares (35 acres) and included several restaurants, entertainment venues, and a golf course.
Milton Prell acquired the former Tallyho Hotel and transformed it through a three million dollar renovation into the Aladdin, which opened on April 1, 1966. The predecessor building had been the only major Nevada hotel operated without a gaming floor.
Elvis Presley and Priscilla Beaulieu married in a suite at this resort on May 1, 1967, making the property a pilgrimage site for fans. The name referenced the Arabian folk hero from One Thousand and One Nights, reflected in the Middle Eastern design of public areas and facades.
The resort stood at 3667 South Las Vegas Boulevard, directly on the Strip, making it easy to reach neighboring attractions on foot. The property offered multiple dining options and entertainment facilities under one roof, allowing visitors to enjoy many activities on site.
The former Tallyho attempted to operate as the only major Nevada hotel without gambling, which proved economically unviable. This unusual strategy eventually led to its sale and complete transformation into a casino-focused resort.
