The Stardust sign all glittering was my favorite one of all.
Alladin's lamp is also nice.
"We were somewhere near Barstow,
on the edge of the desert,
when the drugs began to take hold."
Wish I could go back in time and see old Vegas. Love all the neon signs!
3:20 - The Jai Alai court at the MGM was opened on the 5th of December 1973, and closed in November 1983.
This makes me think of the Joey Diaz days, when cement over shoes dropped in lake Mead was business as usual. Absolutely a different time.
Really cool tune that starts at 9:01 Great sights!
Great sound track
I love your background music , this music is beautiful ...
I worked at the Old Aladdin Hotel for a few years before Corporations took over. The best day's ever and simple with tumbleweeds blowing across the streets. Las Vegas was just one square mile. 135.86 sq mi
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 135.86 sq mi (351.9 km2), of which 135.81 sq mi (351.7 km2) is land and 0.05 sq mi (0.13 km2) (0.03%) is water
I remember the Aladdin seemed out in the middle of nowhere.
Yes, that is how I remember Vegas too. It looked like just a glittering little spot in the desert. Those were the best days I think.
The Aladdin wasn't even IN Las Vegas. It was south of Sahara Avenue, which put it in Paradise, NV. That '1 square mile' you mention is what people today call 'downtown.' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aladdin_(hotel_and_casino)
I was there in '77 and it was amazing . So many beautiful lights at night. I grew up in deep country with only a porch light !
Dude the music is amazing-day time fall ……
I was looking out for that red Thunderbird and Dan Tanner.
“There’s a sign in the desert that lies to the west, where you can’t tell the night from the sunrise. And not all the kings horses and all the kings men, have prevented the fall of the unwise.
And they think it will make their lives easier, and God knows up till now it’s been hard. But the game never ends when your whole world depends on the turn of a friendly card….” Alan Parsons Project.
I've always wanted to see what Vegas was like during the height of the energy crisis of 1973/74. But as this footage is, it's nice. :)
At this time there was a perceived unlimited supply of hydro electric power in Vegas.
I wish I could’ve seen 70s-80s vegas
It was better back then.
Vegas was so much fun in the 70s. 49 cent breakfast. All the beer you can drink on nickel slots. All crime was nice n neat. Organized you might say. Shitheads got dealt with efficiently.
Back when you could actually have a GOOD time there....
Vegas was so much cooler back then.
The Zenith of Las Vegas The 1970's . The 👑 Crown of be all end all.
Conway performance with Lorretta Lynn....😪
A lot of these clips used in the opening of Vega$
I stayed at the Landmark in 1978.
Those Los Vagas strip neon signs maybe great but a lot of people have lost a lot of money though our the years
By no choice but their own!!
Name is Papa Giorgio and they let me play crabs wen I was 10 years old.😂
They let you play 🦀 🦀, eh? 😂
so I headed for Las Vegas....
but only made it out to Needles...
Wonder if Gabe Kaplan (Welcome Back Kotter) remembers that performance, or if someone sends him a link to this video...
It probably was a whole two week engagement
His brand of humor hasn’t held up well over the years.
Back when bartenders knew your first name and your 🍸 of choice
SEEING THIS reminds me of CASINO
Believe it or not, Cleo Laine is still alive.
So are Lola Falana, Ann Margret and Joey Heatherton though Cleo is the eldest in her mid 90's. Great singer!
back when we were human
That second track took me off guard for sure, haha
