Super 8 footage shot by my father with a Bell & Howard film camera in 1977 of the Las Vegas Strip during his vacation there.

  • Great video. How did you get the film copied to video? Software or what? Good job.

  • 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.

  • wow who woulda thunk.. standard (not chevron) gas station right on the strip

  • 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.

  • This is great footage, thanks for posting.

  • It's like peeking into another world watching this....thanks so much for sharing it!

  • 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.

  • Back then, when the Mob ran the town....THAT's when it was all about the customer these days it all bullshit.

  • I wish Fremont Street had stayed just that-a STREET! It is the ugliest most retarded thing in the world with that attrocity overhead now.

  • @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
