Interview with Richie Clyne, CEO, and Don Williams, President, of the Imperial Palace Hotel and Casino Antique and Classic Auto Collection. One of Richie Clyne’s most successful programs is the Imperial Palace Auto Restoration Program, an arrangement between the Collection and Nevada State Prisons in which inmates restore classic cars to their original condition and earn money while in prison. Clyne was also instrumental in the development of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway that opened in 1996.
