Kirk Kerkorian To Get MGM Resorts, Fremont Street Tributes

LAS VEGAS (AP) — MGM Resorts International says flags will fly at half-staff and video tributes to the company's founder Kirk Kerkorian will play on marquees at all of its properties through sunset Wednesday.

The 98-year-old billionaire businessman died at his Beverly Hills home Monday night.

The Fremont Street Experience in downtown Las Vegas also plans to broadcast a tribute to the man credited with building three of the world's largest hotels at the time including the first Las Vegas mega-resort.
