The $2.6 Billion Wizard of Oz Casino MGM ERASED From Existence

The MGM Grand was biggest hotel on Earth — and it was themed entirely around The Wizard of Oz, complete with an Emerald City, a yellow brick road, and a giant lion's mouth you walked through to get inside. Then, within a few years, MGM spent a fortune erasing all of it. This is the story of how the Wizard of Oz took over the largest hotel in the world, why the lion's mouth was secretly scaring away high-rollers, and what's left of the Emerald City today.
