Cleveland A. Earle Rinker was born in Indiana in 1883 to S. Cleveland Rinker and Isadora (Fenwick) Rinker. Shortly after his twentieth birthday Rinker went to Parker, Indiana, seeking work as a stenographer. He soon began working as a clerk for Thomas Condon, a coal and oil dealer who was also an enthusiastic investor in Nevada gold mines. Condon encouraged Rinker to seek his fortune in the gold fields and, in late October of 1906, Rinker boarded a train to make the journey to Goldfield, Nevada.

Artist, author, and entertainer Terry Ritter began performing on the Las Vegas Strip in 1975, and later retired in 1993 to devote herself fully to her artwork. She wanted to capture the mystique of the showgirl and the extravagant productions, once so popular on the Las Vegas Strip, before the shows vanished completely. Her artistry garnered her a commission to paint a fifty-foot mural in the International Terminal (Terminal 3) at McCarran Airport. It has been welcoming visitors since June 9th, 2012.
