What entity initially owned and operated what is now called Legends Resort & Country Club?
Legends Resort &amp; Country Club The Legends Resort & Country Club, often called simply Legends, is a hotel located on County Route 517 in Vernon Township in Sussex County, New Jersey, United States. In the 1970s, Hugh Hefner built it as The Great Gorge Playboy Club Hotel, officially opened in 1972. The Playboy Club was closed circa 1982 and sold and turned into The Americana Hotel. Later being sold again, was turned into The Seasons Hotel. Seasons was later sold again to parent-company Metairie Corp (owned by Hillel A. "Hillie" Meyers), which turned into its current incarnation as the Legends Resort & Country Club. The Hotel has been derelict and permanently closed to public operations for many years. In February 2017 Vernon Township started to evict many of the low income full-time residents of the hotel. It was revealed Andrew Mulvihill was the owner of many of the rooms rented out illegally to low income residents. Mulvihill has a controlling interest in the derelict Great Gorge Village in Vernon Township and the nearby Crystal Springs Resort in Hardyston. Some of the evicted residents are thought to have been relocated to these developments.
