Her father became as rich as Rockefeller from mining copper and founded the city of Las Vegas, but Huguette wasn’t your average American heiress.

Your Say

Some are born to move the world
To live their fantasies
But most of us just dream about

Sadder still to watch it die
Than never to have known it
For you, the blind who once could see
The bell tolls for thee...
