Considered by many to be the pinnacle of achievement in the gaming-entertainment industry, the Gaming Hall of Fame has elected over 60 members since its inaugural class in 1989. Notable inductees include Steve Wynn, Sheldon Adelson and William Boyd.
Over the years, the Hall has expanded its reach to include accomplished entertainers and even chefs, such as Frank Sinatra, Wolfgang Puck and Emeril Lagasse.
