Opening night of the pirate show at Tresure Island 1993. That blast of fire was always so hot on your face.
Dusk and day shots of Caesars Palace from the same spot. Looks much better with the lights on.
Flamingo, Imperial Palace, Holiday Casino, and The Sands 1988.
When they used to launch fireworks off the Stratosphere.
Fireworks over the Luxor Hotel 1993. If you are visiting Las Vegas for the 4th of July this year we thank you.
Hacienda, Tropicana, Hotel San Remo, and the Luxor.
The first big drop on the Desperado roller coaster at Buffalo Bill's Hotel and Casino in Primm, NV which is closing next week. Maximum speed of 80 MPH and 4 G's. Locals, did you make the drive out to ride the Desperado?
Caesars Palace front entrance from that little road that ran down the side of the hotel. 1971.
Pool area at the Dunes Hotel. Looks nice and quiet.
Corner of Las Vegas Blvd and Dunes-Flamingo Rd.
Downtown Las Vegas 54 years ago. The Plaza and their parking garage virtually unchanged.
The first pirate battle at Treasure Island. 1993.
The Barbary Coast 30 years ago. No pedestrian bridges. Maxim and Bourbon St. bottom right.
Can't they just name it The Barbary Coast again?
Front entrance of The Aladdin Hotel. Rod Stewart in the showroom.
Large format of the Strip at dusk. The Bellagio under construction. Taken from the top of Treasure Island.
