Nice picture from 1931.
Tony had a dream of a LV strip 15 years before Bugsy. Boulder Highway was a bad guess for it.
1st resort to have name entertainment.
Tony is the one on the right with the moustach.
He died of a heart attack while shooting dice at the DI. Fell onto the crap table.
He was building the Stardust at the time of his death. He probably beat the odds by dying, the boys at the Stardust would have soon learned of his wheeling and dealing with their $.
Tony also ran the SS REX prior to it being the Horseshoe. He also ran CA offshore gaming ships.
If interested read about Tony here.
