Stupak as a teenager was mainly interested in motorcycle racing, and once ranked third in the world after breaking a speed record. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Gambling_career">Gambling career</h2></div> <p>Stupak moved back to Las Vegas in 1971. He bought the Vault casino in downtown and changed its name to Glitter Gulch. He created a cowgirl sign named Vegas Vicki to match the Vegas Vic sign at the Pioneer Club. Stupak bought a 1.5 acres (0.61 ha) parcel north of <a href="/wiki/Sahara_Avenue" title="Sahara Avenue">Sahara Avenue</a> at <a href="/wiki/Las_Vegas_Boulevard" title="Las Vegas Boulevard">Las Vegas Boulevard</a> South. On March 31, 1974, Bob Stupak's World Famous Historic Gambling Museum opened. "The name was about 10 ft (3.0 m) longer than the casino", Stupak recalled years later. On May 21, an <a href="/wiki/Air_conditioner" class="mw-redirect" title="Air conditioner">air conditioner</a> caught fire and the building burned down.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Two years later, Valley Bank's Perry Thomas loaned Stupak a million dollars to build the original Vegas World on the site of the former gambling museum. In 1979. Stupak opened Bob Stupak's <a href="/wiki/Vegas_World" title="Vegas World">Vegas World</a> hotel and casino known for its promotions and the world's largest sign (which later blew down in a wind storm), and new twists on games, including the world's first quarter million and million dollar jackpot. At its peak in the mid-1980s, Vegas World grossed in excess of $100 million per year. In the meantime, Stupak donated $100,000 to the United Negro College Fund in exchange for a chance to play with the <a href="/wiki/Harlem_Globetrotters" title="Harlem Globetrotters">Harlem Globetrotters</a>. He got his wish, and his appearance on the court in a Globetrotters uniform during one of their games shooting hoops made international news. </p><p>Then, taking a page from <a href="/wiki/Donald_Trump" title="Donald Trump">Donald Trump</a> with his <a href="/wiki/Trump:_The_Game" title="Trump: The Game"><i>Trump</i> board game</a>, Stupak came up with his own board game he called <i>Stupak</i> after Trump declined his million dollar challenge for charity playing <i>Trump: The Game</i>. </p><p>In the mid-1990s, Stupak was inducted into the Gambling Hall of Fame. </p><p>Stupak's unique promotions included the world's first one quarter million dollar jackpot followed shortly thereafter by the world's first million dollar jackpot. He also was wildly successful with his direct-mail marketing called the "Vegas Vacation Club" that enticed vacationers to Vegas World with what was almost a cost-free vacation package including room, meals, and vouchers for casino play. Participants returned year after year and spread the word until hotel occupancy was 100% year round. </p><p>In 1987, Stupak was considering the purchase of a local television station, as well as starting a weekly newspaper.<sup id="cite_ref-media-firms_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-media-firms-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1988, Stupak was the chairman of the newly formed Committee for Olympics in Nevada, and advocated for the <a href="/wiki/Summer_Olympic_Games" title="Summer Olympic Games">Summer Olympic Games</a> to be held in Las Vegas in 1996 or in 2000.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1989, Stupak won a widely publicized million-dollar wager on <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_XXIII" title="Super Bowl XXIII">Super Bowl XXIII</a>.

One of Stupak's most talked about promotions came when he paid a daredevil one million dollars to jump off the top of Vegas World, then charged him a $990,000 landing fee. </p><p>In 1990, Stupak approached the mayor and city council with a plan to build the largest free-standing sign in the world. His plan was for an 1,800-foot-tall neon sign that would tower over Las Vegas. Then-Councilman <a href="/wiki/Steve_Miller_(columnist)" title="Steve Miller (columnist)">Steve Miller</a>, an airline instructor pilot, convinced Stupak to redesign the structure to include an observation deck. Miller took Stupak for a flight over Vegas World in Miller's private plane. There they circled for over an hour at altitudes ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 feet watching the sun set. Stupak told Miller that to not share such a beautiful sight would be a sin, and he immediately went to work revising his plans to include a restaurant and amusement rides at the top of what was then to be called the "Stupak Tower". Stupak held a press conference and announced his plan with the caveat that his tower would be the icon of Las Vegas, and Steve Wynn's Mirage would be two miles from him, not the other way around. Within a year of Stupak's announcement, the construction on the tower began. </p><p>In 1995, Stupak suffered a motorcycle accident, breaking every bone in his face and going into a coma. Although the initial prognosis was that he would not survive, Stupak's next of kin, son Nevada Stupak, approved a non-FDA-approved experimental drug to reduce the swelling to his head and brain. Stupak recovered, although with lingering health problems.<sup id="cite_ref-stupakdefied_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-stupakdefied-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>At the time of his motorcycle crash, Stupak was developing what had become known as <a href="/wiki/Stratosphere_Las_Vegas" class="mw-redirect" title="Stratosphere Las Vegas">Stratosphere Las Vegas</a>, the largest structure west of the Mississippi and top 10 tallest structure in the world. The accident was only three weeks after Stupak agreed to bring in fellow poker player buddy <a href="/wiki/Lyle_Berman" title="Lyle Berman">Lyle Berman</a> and his company Grand Casinos in as investors in the project, in large part due to the $550 million in capital they agreed to invest. This was Grand Casinos' big opportunity to enter the Las Vegas market due in large part to the overwhelming success in the Indian gaming market. Stupak called this the most difficult decision of his life as he had never had a partner and was always sole owner. The tower opened in late April 1996, making it the third most expensive casino development in history at the time; within a year Stupak was out as Chairman of the Board and the project ultimately ended as a financial disaster. Stupak lost nearly $200 million personally. Stupak continued to plan Vegas projects, including a purchase of the <a href="/wiki/Moulin_Rouge_Hotel" title="Moulin Rouge Hotel">Moulin Rouge Hotel</a> and a huge hotel shaped like the <a href="/wiki/RMS_Titanic" class="mw-redirect" title="RMS Titanic">RMS <i>Titanic</i></a>, but these endeavors never bore fruit. </p><p>Stupak appeared in the first season of the <a href="/wiki/Game_Show_Network" title="Game Show Network">GSN</a> series <i><a href="/wiki/High_Stakes_Poker" title="High Stakes Poker">High Stakes Poker</a></i>.
