  Castaways - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Castaways was a Las Vegas hotel and casino that operated from 1963 to 1987 on the Las Vegas Strip.
In 1969 or 1970, the Castaways was sold to billionaire Howard Hughes for $3 million as part of his spree of buying Las Vegas properties.
The property was purchased in 1987 by Steve Wynn, who then proceeded with his plans to build a new resort on the Castaways' former grounds.

 Las Vegas SUN: Potential buyers weigh Castaways' potential
Three weeks after closing, the Castaways is generating interest from prospective buyers, including a trio of small casino owners who've toured the property and are interested in buying and reopening the 49-year-old hotel-casino.
Castaways owner Vestin Mortgage bought the bankrupt property for $20.7 million on Feb. 1 at a foreclosure sale after its bankrupt former owners were unable to satisfy terms of a $22 million-plus mortgage note, and is now marketing the property for sale, Vestin spokesman Steve Stern said.
Meanwhile, Castaways gamblers who have yet to redeem the casino's chips or who have winning race or sports book tickets will probably have to wait a couple weeks to find out the former casino owners' plan to redeem them.

 Amazon.com: In Search of the Castaways / Movie (1962) : Video   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
In Search of the Castaways was Hayley Mills's third feature for Disney, an agreeable adventure--loosely based on a Jules Verne story--with enough derring-do to make kids happy and with the right touch of self-conscious silliness to keep adults smiling.
Based on a Jules Verne story, "In Search of the Castaways" is a fine Disney adventure which is suitable for the entire family.
However, there are apparent signs of the film's age and, overall, it's not as clean as recent Disney restorations such as "Mary Poppins" or "Swiss Family Robinson." The worst offense, undoubtedly, was Disney's decision to release this larger-than-life globe-trotting adventure in a chopped-up "full-frame" presentation.

While many stories flirt with themes of desertion and isolation, one appeal of the castaway tale is that it dramatizes what it is to feel stranded.
Without their lovers, Alicia and Altagracia feel not only emotionally abandoned but, quite literally, marooned, and their despair is all the more affecting for the extreme physicality of it.
