Leadership at the Hacienda
A Hacienda owner whose casino leadership and philanthropy became part of the city’s mid-century history.
Taking responsibility for the resort
After her husband’s death in 1964, Bayley took responsibility for the Hacienda. Clark County’s biography places her work in the history of women shaping the valley. [1]
A wider civic legacy
UNLV’s history describes changes to the Hacienda’s gaming operation and her support for the university. The Judy Bayley Theatre preserves that connection between resort wealth and the city’s cultural life. [2]
