In 1984, stuntman Dan Koko set two world records for separate stunts in which he jumped from the rooftop of Vegas World's 25-story hotel tower. A 25-story tower was added in 1984, and a new wing was added to the tower in 1990, for a total of 932 rooms. Vegas World opened with a 15,000 sq ft (1,400 m 2) casino, and 90 hotel rooms in an eight-story tower.
Stupak later opened Vegas World on July 13, 1979, on the same property. Stupak initially opened a small casino, Bob Stupak's World Famous Million-Dollar Historic Gambling Museum and Casino, on the property in 1974, but it was destroyed in a fire later that year. It was owned and operated by Bob Stupak, and was also signed as Bob Stupak's Vegas World. Vegas World was a space-themed casino and hotel on Las Vegas Boulevard in Las Vegas, Nevada.
