With just 500 rooms, the Landmark was small in comparison to the newer Las Vegas megaresorts. In 1990, the property was sold to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. The property was soon shut down, and six years later on November 7, 1995, the tower was imploded. In its place is a parking lot for the Las Vegas Convention Center.
