• Louis_Lesser abstract "Louis Lesser (June 15, 1916 – January 29, 2013) was an American business magnate. He received frequent press coverage in the 1950s and 1960s for his ability to earn money and for his various business operations. He sold the Taj Mahal casino property to New York real estate developer Donald Trump. Trump called Lesser "The Legend" as the historic biggest developer in the history of the western US, developing over 60,000 properties in the Western United States. He was a mentor to the legendary investor Warren Buffett and Tracinda Corporation CEO Kirk Kerkorian. Louis Lesser was partners with banker and notorious organized crime figure Meyer Lansky and Kirk Kerkorian in the purchase of numerous Las Vegas hotels and casinos, including the Frontier Hotel and casino, renamed the New Frontier Hotel after it was sold by Lesser to Howard Hughes. He remains the biggest real estate developer in the U.S. West Coast in American history.Many of Lesser's development projects were large in scale or of historic significance, such as Barrington Plaza, the largest urban renewal project in the western United States under President John F. Kennedy. Barrington Plaza also served as a nuclear fallout shelter at the peak of the Cold War nuclear threat, with Lesser appointed to the Los Angeles County Civil Defense and Disaster Commission during the Kennedy Administration.Lesser's business operations were noted around the world for their diversity and quantity, with 250 companies and 150 partners by 1960. Some of Lesser's partners and associates were well known public figures—for example, Lesser was the landlord and developer for many of Howard Hughes' properties. Lesser developed, owned, and leased many properties for the military industrial complex during the cold war, and developed, owned, and operated numerous large hotels, commercial and industrial properties, apartment complexes, and housing tracts, developing over 60,000 properties in his career.Lesser was named the Los Angeles City of Hope "Man of the Year" and received a commendation from the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors for business achievement and philanthropy in 1961.Lesser was a "real estate developer", not a "builder". Quoting Lesser in 1963, the New York Times wrote, "‘Developing’ is the key word. ‘We don’t build ourselves’, Mr. Lesser stresses. ‘We buy the land, finance the deal, and then we have the best builders build under bond at a fixed cost.’"".
