Las Vegas Review-Journal (NV) - November 12, 1999,

Deceased Name: Robert E. 'Bobby' Morris - Founder of Las Vegas Tourist Bureau dies at 68

Review-Journal Robert E. 'Bobby' Morris, a tourism pioneer who started the Las Vegas Tourist Bureau, was the perfect host for Las Vegas. 'He fit Vegas and the town fit him,' said John Woodrum, a friend of Morris for 30 years. 'Everything an out-of-town person coming into the city would need, he could get for them.' Morris died Wednesday from a fall down some concrete stairs after leaving a local restaurant, Woodrum said. He was 68. A former restaurant and tavern owner, Morris moved to Las Vegas from Miami about 35 years ago. He opened the first reservation and tourist information center on Boulder Highway, then coordinated tour junkets for the Hacienda hotel. He later managed the Jockey Club time-share resort, then used his experience in the tourism industry to open the Las Vegas Tourist Bureau at the south end of the Strip. Morris was also a partner in Las Vegas Tour & Travel, becoming one of the largest suppliers of visitors for the air tour business to the Grand Canyon. He ran a bus tour company, a travel agency and helped his wife, Joan, establish Rae's Supper Club. At one time, he had 125 employees working for him, said Woodrum, owner of the Klondike hotel and casino next to the Las Vegas Tourist Bureau. 'He was the fun-lovingest guy God ever put on this Earth,' Woodrum said. 'A typical Irishman who liked to party. He once told me, 'The world's a party and I'm the host.'" Morris' favorite saying when anyone asked how he was, according to Woodrum, was, 'Amen. I ain't never had a bad day.'

Morris was born Aug. 20, 1931, in Parsonsburg, Md. He served in the Army and was honorably discharged in 1949.

He is survived by his wife, Joan; two sons, John and Steven; and six grandchildren.
