Barry W. Becker's father was a land developer and real estate broker in the Los Angeles area. Howard Hughes told him to purchase all the land he could in the West Charleston area of Las Vegas, so his father started Becker Enterprises, Incorporated in southern Nevada, and Barry and his family moved here in 1971. Becker Enterprises developed 2,500 to 3,000 acres in the West Charleston area and built Arizona Charlie's Hotel Casino. Barry came to Las Vegas in his mid-twenties and worked on underground work and other projects for Becker Enterprises. After he married, Barry and his wife Sue moved to the West Charleston area. They lived in the Charleston Heights area and eventually moved to Rancho Bel Air.
