Stern, Martin, Jr.
▪ 2002

      American architect (b. April 9, 1917, New York, N.Y.—d. July 28, 2001, Los Angeles, Calif.), designed a number of landmark casino hotels in Las Vegas, Nev., as well as three brightly coloured Ships coffee shops in Los Angeles that typified the futuristic Googie style of architecture. Stern was a sketch artist for movie studios in Los Angeles before he embarked on a career as an architect. He garnered widespread attention with his work in Las Vegas, which included the construction of a 14-story skyscraper at the Sahara Hotel in 1959, a convention centre at the same hotel in 1967, and the MGM Grand Hotel (now Bally's Hotel Casino Resort) in 1973.
