Vintage Las Vegas

[KarmaDope]

I was kindly pointed in the direction of this tumblr which has a huge collection of Las Vegas (and Reno) pictures taken in the 20th Century with some pictures having little explanations as well. Worth a look if you have an interest in Old Vegas like I do.

Las Vegas Club - 1955 (one of a slideshow of three entitled "Stuck Outside")

Well worth a look...but be warned, there's a lot of pictures!

Is that tikay in the first picture grinding te slots?

Cheers for this. Can see the next half an hour being very unproductive

Great find.

Did someone say something about half an hour?

It's taken me twenty minutes to look through the first four of 95 pages!

Great photos.  All the notes about what's at each location now got me searching Youtube for some of the demolition videos.  Feels like Vegas constantly churns it's hotels.  Going for the first time this year, so much history, can't wait.

Only in Vegas could they make the demolition of a building into a show.

Photorealist painting. Amazing.

"Naked but nice". What a uniquely Vegas expression.
