Bonnie McGaugh Levinson 1921 - 2016

Bonnie was one of the original spirits of Las Vegas. Growing up in the lm

industry, she enjoyed a career as a skater and actress before moving to Las Vegas in the early
1950s. She met the love of her life, Al Levinson, raised a wonderful family and, along the
way, created Bonnie Springs Ranch.

Bonnie lived an amazing life and leaves an equally amazing legacy.

Thank you. You will be missed but you are still with us.
