Question: What hotel did Carl Cohen  manage that operated from 1952 to 1996?

Carl Cohen (February 15, 1913 – December 26, 1986) was an American businessman.  He was a well-known executive in the gambling resort industry in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the 1940s through 1970s and is credited with playing an important role in the development of Las Vegas as a premier resort destination.  Moving to Las Vegas, he became casino manager for the El Rancho Vegas in the 1940s and the Sands Hotel and Casino in the 1950s; he also had a controlling interest in both resorts.  He began his career as a bookie and operator in illegal gambling clubs operated by the Mayfield Road Mob in Cleveland, Ohio.  He advanced to senior vice president of the Sands and, in 1973, became senior vice president of the newly opened MGM Grand Hotel.  He gained national notoriety for a 1967 altercation with Frank Sinatra at the Sands, in which he responded to the singer's drunken and aggressive behavior by punching him in the mouth and knocking the caps off his front teeth. <SEP> The four-star Steigenberger Cecil Hotel in Alexandria, Egypt, was built as the Cecil Hotel in 1929 by the French-Egyptian Jewish Metzger family as a romantic hotel, at Saad Zaghloul square where Cleopatra's needles had been, in front of the Corniche.  Author Somerset Maugham stayed here, as did Winston Churchill and Al Capone.  Moreover, the British Secret Service maintained a suite for their operations.  It was seized by the Egyptian government after the revolution in 1952, and five years later the Metzger family was expelled from the country.  In 2007, after a lengthy court battle, legal ownership of the hotel was returned to the Metzger family, who subsequently sold it to the Egyptian government.  This hotel appears in The Alexandria Quartet, written by Lawrence Durrell and the novel Miramar by Naguib Mahfuz.  The hotel operated for many years as the Sofitel Cecil Alexandria Hotel, until it joined the Steigenberger Hotels chain in October, 2014. <SEP> The Sands Hotel and Casino was a historic hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada, United States, that operated from 1952 to 1996.  Designed by the architect Wayne McAllister, with a prominent 56 ft high sign, the Sands was the seventh resort to open on the Strip.  During its heyday, the Sands was the center of entertainment and "cool" on the Strip, and hosted many famous entertainers of the day, most notably the Rat Pack. <SEP> John Poulos (born March 31, 1947) was the original drummer for The Buckinghams.  He was a founding member of the Chicago area band in 1965.  His mother Ann and his father John Sr.,were very proud of their youngest child in a family of solid Greek heritage.  He graduated from Roosevelt High School in the Albany Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois in 1965.  Lead guitar player Carl Giammarese lived only a few blocks away from John Poulos in the Albany Park neighborhood of Chicago.  His nickname since his late teens was "Jon Jon". John Poulos was the leader of a high school band in Chicago called "The Pulsations".  He approached singers George LeGros and  Dennis Tufano who sang harmonies in an acapella group called The Darsals to come join his band,"The Pulsations".  Local Chicago-area deejay and booking agent @ Willard - Alexander agency Carl Bonafede attests to the fact that Jon Jon personally recruited singers Dennis Tufano and his close friend George Legros at Gordon Tech high school to the band Jon Jon Poulos approached Carl Bonafede head deejay who spun records for Dan Belloc's dances at the Holiday ballroom about becoming the manager of John's high school band "The Pulsations".  When USA Records released The Buckinghams from their contract, the band had a #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 charts with Kind of a Drag.  The members voted to part ways with personal manager Carl Bonafede.  Jon Jon Poulos and Dennis Tufano flew out to Los Angeles to meet with James William Guercio to seek management and a new record deal.  The meeting with Guercio led to The Buckinghams signing a new record contract with Columbia Records.  John went into the music management side of the music business after the Buckinghams agreed to part ways in 1970.  John managed his fellow ex-Buckinghams Carl Giammarese and Dennis Tufano when they formed a duo called "Tufano & Giammarese".  "When The Buckinghams broke up in 1970 and Nick departed for a career in R&B and Marty wanted to go a different direction, Dennis Tufano and Carl decided to form a duo, Dennis and Carl.  We put together a demo CD, with the help of Peter Shelton and his wife, and John determined to manage us and find us a recording deal.  Reaching for the stars, he reached a zenith: John brought us to Ode Records, where we signed with Lou Adler, became “Tufano and Giammarese” and spent 7 years of our career together."  John Poulos managed several other Illinois bands, most notably a band from the Fox River Grove area called Boyzz from Illinois.  He died of heart failure in his Chicago home just short of his 33rd birthday in 1980.  Carl Bonafede maintains there never would have been a Buckinghams band if not for the commitment of Jon Jon Poulos.  His love of music and dedication to the band was unique.  He often shared discussion of the business side of music with "the Screaming Wildman".  John had one child, a daughter, Polly who was born in September 1970.
