Anyone old enough to remember the Vintage Vegas?

Las Vegas had stayed under continuous construction and demolition for the past fifty years, resulting in it's existence as a modern wonder in itself. Have a look at some incredibly garish and maybe glamorous visions of the Old Vegas.

"Have a look at some incredibly garish and maybe glamorous visions of the Old Vegas."
Are you trying to imply Las Vegas isn't incredibly garish now?
I guess it is a matter of scale. When I first visited in the late 1960s Vegas was a small city with a strip of casinos along the main drag through town. It was a pretty tacky place then--lots of neon lights and bright signs. Want to see what it was like? Watch Ocean's 11 (Sinatra/ rat pack version--not the Clooney/Pitt abortion) and you'll see what I mean.
My last visit was 5 years ago. It has redefined garish. Possibly the most tasteless pile of tackiness in the planet.

I stayed at a pool-side room in the Flamingo. Slider opened to the pool area. $20 reserved us two lounge chairs nest to the pool. Coffee shop sold breakfast at 3:00 AM.

Wonderful.
