Howard Hughes

The ONE is pleased to present two new exhibit galleries that examine the life of Howard Hughes, including his years in Las Vegas. With photographs from UNLV Special Collections and text from Jeff Burbank, you can explore the history of this reclusive billionaire, airline owner, aviator, government contractor, and film producer.
