Las Vegas has the Neon Museum, the Mob Museum, the Punk Rock Museum and the Pinball Hall of Fame, among others. But it is currently the largest city in the United States without a major art museum, despite several attempts over the years.

Now it looks as if that will change, thanks to the unusual collaboration of two art-world heavyweights: Elaine Wynn, the Las Vegas casino magnate and art collector, and Michael Govan, the director of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

The two have joined forces to help create the new Las Vegas Museum of Art, with a plan that took a major step forward on Wednesday when the Las Vegas City Council agreed to give 1.5 acres of land in the city’s downtown cultural district to the museum for $1.
