I just started using 100 percent winners arbitrage betting software it is awesome! The only time I dont make a profit is when I screw up! Check out my channel for link!
Holiday Casino is basically now Harrah's I think. It all looks like crap now, because the hotels are all intertwined, back then there was actually parking lots in the front of some venues.
The film looks better than most because it wasn't transferred to VHS first. I think I only saw Frontier from that film when I was there in 1999. The rest have gone! Thanks for the upload.
wow thats so amazing. Vegas has changed sooo much even in the last 10 years, but to compare it to the 70s, its like a entirely different town. The only hotel I could recognize is ceasers palace, stardust(not there anymore), riveria, and part of the flamingo.
I LOVE this video! .... wish i could travel back in time to be there at that time again! It looks nothing like this now. Really brings back memories. Thank you for sharing!
My first Vegas trio was 1975 (Aug) when I was 6 weeks too early to gamble (I looked 21)- Elvis was at the Hilton but 2 days later had to leave (illness). I won $25 in quarters in the Hilton at 3 AM. This film captures that time. Great stuff.
Oh how I remember Las Vegas back in the mid 70's! It was fun, the casinos were fun. I'll never forget the Westward Ho Casino where free champagne flowed from a fountain! What a great place and time that was!
Thanks for posting this film! I love seeing old Vegas because it changes so drastically with each year. Your dad did a nice job panning the camera slowly!
@superduperboyx It looks a LOT like the entrance to Caesars Palace (check out Ocean's 11 recent one when Elliot Gould tells Clooney and Pitt about the 3 times Vegas got robbed-It shows a guy running out in the parking lot at Caesars before being....uh...stopped). It looks like this spot exactly.
I took the film reels to a local film processor and paid 27¢ a foot to get it transferred to miniDV. He used what amounts to a scanner for reel to reel film. A lot easier and better quality than pointing my DV Camera at a projector screen.
well... things have to change. there're good things in the old days and good things today. So i'm glad Vegas has a downtown that reminds us the old days. This place wouldn't be great without the Mobs or without Wynn.
Yeah Vegas really was such a small charming place back then. Of course people who remember it back then tend to dislike the larger and commercialized place it is now I'm only 20 years old so I know Vegas to be a true glitter oasis. I mean in the 70s you could gamble and swim but now you can do things like dangle 270 meters above the ground on the Stratosphere as well as see Cirque du Soleil.
God,,,I live in Vegas and I am inlove with the history and yeah it totally lost its magic, I go to Fremont street to visit some of the old vegas to get that feeling too cus I never got to experience it :( thanks for posting, its wonderful!
Beautiful. I loved it when the Mafia controlled everything. These scenes remind me of it. Ironically, using a Bell and Howell Super 8 camera today, I'm making films of Las Vegas and Pahrump today.
Lived in Las Vegas in 1980 and 81..It was a great place, loved it.. So many of the old casinos are gone now and I understand more are to follow..How sad..
Man I sure was born in the wrong decade although at least I got the 80s as a child and the 90s as a teenager. I would slit my wrists if I grew up today. Vegas is such a dump now, its filled with tattooed gangster wannabes partying at the Hard Rock. If only I could go back in time I would go to the late 70s and live it up, seemed so classy an nouvea
I'm so glad I'm not a kid growing up in this day and age. I grew up in the 70's, back then people were more classy and I loved Las Vegas back then, what I knew of it, my parents went there alot. I went there twice, during the old times and then new, I remember likeing the new. Also things weren't has public, now everyone and everything is free game.
Agreed Sheels. My uncle, who was a bit of a hood, used to frequent Vegas in the 60s and 70s...he said Vegas of today is nothing compared to the old. He said it was WAAAY better when the mob ran it...no kids, no geezers in pajamas and walkers, no fake gangstas, and of course there was Frank, Deano, Sammy, etc. He said one of his big thrills was seeing Jimmy Durante live.
Its all gone. Now we got shit. When Vegas got 'Disney-fied' I knew life was never gonna be good again.
Love this video! Great footage of old Las Vegas. Love Las Vegas , but miss the way it used to be. Love the old hotels and casinos and sad that not many of the old ones are left anymore.
I really appreciated very much that folks here mentioned the location of old and new casino. Bought back old memories. And wonder how long before I'm gone too. Thanks
Your dad did awesome maybe HELLwood,CA woud care2 use in one of their movies.Much hate on many post,instead of enjoyin life then,who cares bout scum hotels just had to get hate slam in b happy we hav this not2 long or mayb now collecter item.Rate 24/7 if you dont care4 it dont leave rude remarks or dont you read rules here.I loved it took me bac now look at it ,ooh so much $.Grt 2 see life of slow jams times bac then.Sorry for hate slams theres always one in all post hugs2 you tks4 grt vid.
2:22 to 2:48 blows me away. It's taken from the Aladdin (Planet Hollywood).
As the camera pans from right to left, you see the Dunes (where the Bellagio stands today), the Jockey Club (which is being surrounded by construction of the Cosmopolitan), and then you see......NOTHING.
Thank you for posting this great video. I like 1:03-1:15 the best as it shows the Flamingo tower under construction ... including the room I stayed in last week when I was in Las Vegas! Great to see the old MGM Grand before it became Bally's and another tower was added. Also nice to see the Frontier sign in its glory ... I hope it goes to the boneyard and not destroyed like the Dunes one was.
Great video! My parents got married in Vegas in May 1977 (eloped actually!). I showed this video to my mom tonight, and it was really a flashback to her. I'm amazed at how good the video quality is after 30 years! Do you have any other 70s Vegas video?
Thank you for placing this on Youtube. I started going to Vegas in the 70s and your video brings back so many fantastic memories. While I know we can't go back in time, people like you help us to remember this wonderful city before it became so over the top as it is today.
Lately( in the past couple of months LV isn't doing so well) I guess there comes a piont when people won't ever go back becuase of the very high prices for food, drinks, and the tightest slots on earth. It is a place that just might disappear after a while. Like a bad dream.
Las Vegas sort of has disappered anyways. Half the strip is now filthy run-down hotels or WAY overpriced high-end hotels and neither of them are much fun.
I agree. One end of the strip is filthy, poverty and has run down hotels and the other end has 400% mark up and the hotels are incredibly overpriced. And it just isn't that much fun.
Everything in LV is expensive. EXAMPLE: go to a TARGET store in LV and you can buy a disposable 35mm fuji film camera with 27 exp. for $5... if you go to the mirage gift shop and try to buy the same camera....$24.
i wouldn't call circus circus, riveria or sahara run down and filthy, if they are god help 85% of hotels in new york, LA, chicago, london or paris which are of a much lower class and i have stayed in alot of them lol, tiny rooms no bathrooms, tiny beds, insects etc
a 450ft sq room like you can get at sahara would cost $300 a night in manhattan
gold spike and western are run down and filthy hotels, there ain't nothing like that on the strip
I didnt say circus circus, sahara or riviera are run down or filthy. They aren't.
You assumed that's what I meant, I never said that...what i meant was the mom and pop hotels and motels next to the porn shops and nude dancer shows. You shouldn't assume.
you said and i quote "One end of the strip is filthy, poverty and has run down hotels"
you won't find "mom and pop hotels and motels next to the porn shops and nude dancer shows" on the strip, on industrial and naked city district no doubt. there are no strip clubs or porn shops on the strip unless your definition of the strip extends further than sahara avenue. the only crappy motel on the strip i can think of is the travelodge next to Circus Circus
so far in 2008 only 3 months has seen a drop in visitor numbers to the strip and those numbers are tiny like 1%, whereas reno and laughlin and indian casinos nationwide have experienced massive drops like 15-20%. The drop in numbers to the strip is more attributable to the cutting back of flights at mccarran than anything else, some airlines have cut nearly 30% of flights into LAS due to fuel costs
I think maybe thats Ceasars Palace main entrance then... the view of the Dunes from that spot, the Bellagio is in that spot now, the view seems to be right to be Ceasars I think.
Funny story: At around 1:21 you see around 2 seconds of video shot by my father of the inside of the casino floor. That's about how long it took for security to pounce his ass. He's very lucky they didn't pull his film (or the whole camera).
@inkdeep funny you should say that - when i saw the casino shot i said to myself "wow, how did he get away with this without being beaten by casino personnel?"
@inkdeep Funny, having grown up in Las Vegas (I was there at this time) I knew immediately why that shot was so short!....This is a great video, thanks for posting
in the minute 2.23 right now at 2008 if you are in that spot i think you will be in the main entrance of Mircale mile shops (at PH Hotel) and you can see the Bellagio fountains rising to the sky.
ohh no i saw the marquee, in the minute 2.23is the aladdin marque, you can see the Dunes (now bellagio) and is kind of the same distance trough the (Aladdin) now the Planet Hollywood hotel.
Wonderful footage of the old Las Vegas I remember as a young adult. It was open, carefree and Fun! I love the 70's look of the Buildings back then. So glad to see these 8mm films shared thru YouTube.
this is cool! i live in vegas and i hang out a lot at a little place on the strip called the peppermill. one of the few old places left on the strip. it's the building in the center of the screen at the 1:41 - 1:45 mark.
I was 2 at the time this was shot but I still vaguely remember most these vintage scenes from all the summers and christmas holidays I spent there from 77-91 from before the big super casinos came in.
