Wilshire Grand Hotel: In the Oct. 20 LATExtra section, a caption that accompanied two photographs of demolition work at the Wilshire Grand Hotel said that the hotel was being renovated. It is being torn down to make way for a new multistory complex.

Boulder City: In the Oct. 21 Section A, an article about Boulder City, the only major city in Nevada where gambling is banned, implied that the Hoover Dam was completed in 1960. The dam was constructed between 1931 and 1936.
