Thursday Morning Riddle

I’m a mother or father, but one step removed;
I am all about Benjamins, ten times improved;
I’m a fixture at concerts, not easily moved;
And a hot spot in Vegas that’s lion-approved.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Ro. See comments for answer.

    Dang, not early enough. I wanted to do my thing and work in additional rhyming lines that ended with, say, “behooved.”

  3. Bill Says:

    GRAND is correct. Way to go, Ro!

    And that’s four in a row – a new Thursday Morning Riddle record!

    Neel, I played around with “behooved” this morning, but that’s a hard word to get to the end of a line.

    Line 1: Grandmother or Grandfather

    Line 2: Ten “Benjamins” ($100 bills) is a “grand” ($1000).

    Line 3: A concert grand piano

    Line 4: The MGM Grand

  4. Brian Says:

    I thought the concert reference was a “grandstand,” but it works either way.

  5. ro Says:

    I was thinking grandstand as well, but when I saw that it was similar to the other ones, I knew it would have to be grand.
