Did Kirk Kerkorian cheat?

Kirk Kerkorian was an American businessman, investor, and philanthropist known for his significant contributions to the development of Las Vegas and the entertainment industry.

Born on June 6, 1917, in Fresno, California, Kerkorian was the son of Armenian immigrants. He dropped out of school in the eighth grade to help support his family and later became a skilled pilot.

Kerkorian was married four times and had two daughters. He was known for his philanthropy, particularly towards Armenian causes and medical research.

As a pioneering figure in Las Vegas, Kerkorian built iconic hotels such as the International Hotel and MGM Grand. He played a crucial role in shaping the city's casino and entertainment landscape.

Kerkorian was instrumental in the creation of the modern Las Vegas Strip, building some of the world's largest hotels and casinos. He also had a significant influence in the film industry through his ownership of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM).

Though Kerkorian maintained a relatively low profile, his personal and business dealings occasionally drew public scrutiny, particularly his lengthy legal battles over divorce settlements and corporate takeovers.

Kerkorian created several landmark projects in Las Vegas, including the International Hotel (now the Westgate Las Vegas) and the MGM Grand, which at the time of their openings were the largest hotels in the world.
