Yesco sign company in 1961. Founded in 1933 and still in existence but now part of Samsung. They built most of the iconic signs in LV including Vegas Vic. They also own the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign. Image Unavailable, Please Login
The rear end of those 59 Chevys had to be the worst design idea ever. I think Ford outsold Chevy that model year for the first time in decades. Thanks for the post. I really enjoy the old Vegas photos.
Prices have changed a little bit since the 70's. Buffet dinner for $2.98! The El Rancho is long gone as the Fountainbleu now rests on its spot.
In the mid 60's you could see Dean Martin and Count Basie in the Copa room at the Sands. Is there a time machine somewhere? Image Unavailable, Please Login

The famous hotel may be no longer, but glad it's namesake is still a part of the world famous Mint 400 desert race! Great history there. Image Unavailable, Please Login
These guys at the LVCC, Hilton in background. This was actually in Don Rickles house, of which many of his momentos were recently auctioned off. I tried to get this for my personal collection, but lost the auction Image Unavailable, Please Login
The original Flamingo bungalows built by Mr. Siegal were still welcoming guests back in the 80's at the Flamingo. I think they called them the Garden somethings.
Pretty amazing video of Fremont street from the beginning to today in photos, movies, and pop culture
That was great! Only watched until 1967, which was the first time my parents took me there. Saw Red Skelton.
Awesome pics RW is in trouble. Compare people walking in front of Bellagio with the # of patrons at RW. Street vendors know where to ambush tourists and they do not waste their time at RW.
Debbie Reynolds performing on stage at the Rivera Hotel in 1963. The little girl? The 6 year old future Princess Leia. Image Unavailable, Please Login
So cool. I spent my childhood in that damn Hilton hotel during the 70's; best babysitter my parents ever had.
