Random Vegas

For a time, Las Vegas had the three tallest neon signs in the world as the Dunes sign rose to 180 feet, the Frontier’s sign rose to 184 and Stardust’s most iconic sign rose to 188 feet to be the tallest sign in the world for the decade to follow (Spectacular – A History of Las Vegas Neon)

TwitPic of the week

Oh come on Harrah’s, how is that riverboat casino not like a 1,000 x better than the homogenized casino you have now. In this week’s picture by @las_when, we not only get to enjoy the riverboat again but its neighbor Imperial Palace. Then just for fun take a look to the right at all that undeveloped real estate in between Excalibur and Caesars. You can tell this picture is from the mid 90s because they are working on the land that will become the Fountains of Bellagio. The savvy viewer will spot Aladdin across the street from all that land. This POV is from Treasure Island, the same view that helped us fall in love with the city for the first time in 2006.
