<P> The Landmark was a hotel and casino located in Paradise , Nevada , east of the Las Vegas Strip and across from the Las Vegas Convention Center . The resort included a 31 - floor tower , inspired by the design of the Space Needle tower in Seattle . Frank Caroll , the project 's original owner , purchased the property in 1961 . Fremont Construction began work on the tower that September , while Caroll opened the adjacent Landmark Plaza shopping center and Landmark Apartments by the end of the year . The tower 's completion was expected for early 1963 , but because of a lack of financing , construction was stopped in 1962 , with the resort approximately 80 percent complete . Up to 1969 , the topped - off tower was the tallest building in Nevada until the completion of the International Hotel across the street . </P>
