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
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.
