MGM Grand
While working on the statues at Circus Circus, Montyne also was commissioned to create the wall murals in the convention hall at the then-International Hotel. A challenging contract was the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino. The casino was longer than a football field, and on the 15 ceiling arches were Montyne’s murals. The murals were destroyed in the 1980 MGM Grand fire.
After the MGM commission Montyne worked on his sculpting skills, creating small statues for galleries in the hotels on The Las Vegas Strip. He created Windsong (1976), Marathon-man (1979), The Indian Warriors (1980), and The Intrusion (started in 1975).
