Mr Merhar was a purple heart recipient, and owned two 'supper clubs' in Butte Montana - Howie's Supper Club and The Leggat Supper Club. Limited by Butte's opportunities for entrepreneurial expansion, Mr Merhar moved to Las Vegas in the mid 1960s to open a casino with a partner. The Casino did not go as planned, and Mr Merhar was then employed at the International Hotel as slot manager. The International was bought by Conrad Hilton and it became The Las Vegas Hilton. Mr Merhar became Casino Manager of the Las Vegas Hilton. According to his sister, Mr Merhar traded in his Eldorado for a new Eldorado convertible every year. According to people who knew Mr Merhar, while he was at the International Hotel and Las Vegas Hilton, Mr Merhar was on a first-name basis with Elvis Presley, Liberace, Frank Sinatra, Bill Cosby, Ann Margaret, Perry Como and other legendary celebrities and entertainers of the Golden Era of Hollywood and Entertainment who were headliners at the hotels.
