“Everything I built — the Golden Nugget, Mirage, Treasure Island, Wynn-Encore, were because of him. You name the buildings, including UNLV, and Parry Thomas’ fingerprints are everywhere in this valley.” — Steve Wynn, eulogizing banker and power-broker Thomas, who revolutionized the Nevada casino industry several times over, most importantly by persuading the state to permit publicly held corporations to own casinos. Thomas, who persuaded Wynn to buy the Golden Nugget, died Friday at age 95.
