Originally opened in 1963 under the name of Tally-Ho, then renamed to
King's Crown in 1965, and finally as the Aladdin in 1966. The original
architect in charge was Lee Linton. In 1975 Linton was put in charge of
renovating it for the first time. In 1981 Martin Stern, JR. AIA was put
in charge of yet another renovation. In 1998 the Aladdin was imploded to
ready it for remodeling. In 2000 under the design of Nadel Architects in
accordance with ADP/FD, Fluor Daniel, Inc. Contracting and interior
decor from Brennan Beer Gorman Monk, the Aladdin opened its doors to the
public with a brand new look now costing $1.3 billion. The
Desert Passage at the Aladdin is a 500,000 square foot "shopping adventure"
featuring retail, dining, entertainment and night life.
