The Last Days of when Las Vegas was great...Glad you fllmed this!... And I'm sure you wish you'd taken more!.. Oh, I remember those bands...those hotels, ...ALL of it!... I lived in L.A. and used to come over often!...would usually stay in one of the smaller places like you did...
The traffic wasn't PACKED like today..nor were the crowds!..and it was just MORE FUN, anywhere you went!...
Does anyone remember the late night Lounge Bands that were popular in the mid to late 80's? I can't find anything about them online. Casinos like The Dunes, The Maxim and The California Hotel used to host these bands. I cannot find any historic websites online that gives any word of recognition to this.
Vegas was once a great place. This is how I remember my first trip to vegas when you got a prime rib dinner for 4.99 and it was good! The old school resturant with the high back booths. The music brings me back to riding around with my uncle back then. Thanks for sharing
Landmark was blown up in the movie Mars Attacks. The site is now a parking lot near the convention center. Stardust is now the site of a stalled resort. A friend of mine, who I'll be visiting in a couple weeks, is a native and lives near UNLV. He misses both of these places a lot.
nice video, the westward ho always gets left out, they were known for the foot long hot dogs for like 50cents? or a dollar??? great to see the good old days. I also stayed at the Rivera and westward ho. Fantastic video even tho you double taped over it lol
U2 filmed "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" downtown in 87' Sots of Fun is gone? The Landmark was the outside of the casino In casino in the drive up scenes. I worked at the Westward Ho, The Sands.
@mapleblackdrums Ya U2 filmed it after there show at Thomas And Mac that night, my next job was at The Union Plaza downtown. I can;t wait for my house to sell so i can move back to Vegas.
THIS VIDEO WAS TAKEN THE YEAR BEFORE I WAS BORN, I WAS BORN IN VEGAS AND I STILL LIVE IN VEGAS AND IT HAS CHANGED SO MUCH, EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED SINCE 1987 LOL JUST LISTEN TO THAT MUSIC!
I am from Vancouver BC and i am currently on Vacation in Las Vegas and some of these buildings in this video are not here anymore im am staying at Circus Circus
@Victim1369 RF I think Las Vegas will be changing. So might as well take a video now since in 10 or 20 years, it won't look the same. from the 1950's to the 1960's and 70's, it looked different from 1987. And from 1987 to now 2010, it looks different. It will keep changing.
Wow! La Concha and the Wedding Chapel! So many classic Strip landmarks are now gone! Great video! I can't believe how low the prices of drinks and shows were!

I was working at the Paddle Wheel in 1987. Cooked those crab Legs and Ribs. Slots of Fun used to drink there. All these places are gone now.
