DriveAbout 63 - Las Vegas

December 242008

Las Vegas, sfarzo, consumismo… caldo e contraddizioni. Il parco giochi per adulti più famoso degli stati uniti.
Alcuni spezzoni degli Hotel e dei casino più famosi.

The Las Vegas Strip (also known as The Strip) is an approximately 4 mile (6.4 km) section of Las Vegas Boulevard South in Paradise and Winchester, Nevada, south of the Las Vegas city limits. Most of “The Strip” has been designated an All-American Road.

Many of the largest hotel, casino and resort properties in the world are located on The Strip. Eighteen of the world’s twenty five largest hotels by room count are on the Strip, with a total of over 67,000 rooms.

Over the years, Las Vegas Boulevard South has been called Arrowhead Highway, or Los Angeles Highway. The Strip was reportedly named by Los Angeles police officer Guy McAfee, after his hometown’s Sunset Strip.

One of the most visible aspects of Las Vegas’ cityscape is its use of dramatic themes. The theming of hotels, casinos, and restaurants on the Strip has established the city as one of the most popular destinations for tourists.

IN OLD LAS VEGAS - ®™ Downtown 1905-1955

December 182008

Tony West Music.
A Historic Look at Las Vegas’ Beginnings.
IN OLD LAS VEGAS - ®™ - Website Preview

A Photo-History of Old Las Vegas’ Early Days from 1905-1975 by Erik Wunstell.

My new website InOldLasVegas.com just opened.

I am a photographer who has been photographing Las Vegas since 1974.

I have loads of vintage, old Vegas photos that I’ve restored and hand-painted with my mouse (for hours on end) in order to bring the past fully back to life.

I can honestly say that I am the foremost expert and historian on the ‘real history’ of Las Vegas and intend to present the full, complete story over the coming months.

Please be sure to visit regularly to see this new website’s continual growth. This WILL NOT be the corporate version of Las Vegas or the perpetuation of popular myths. Instead, InOldLasVegas.com will show and tell the unseen and unheard tale of one of the most unique destination cities in the entire world.

The history of Las Vegas is a story about Design, Architecture, Signage, Advertising and Interior Decoration. It is more a story about Popular American Culture than anything else - since Las Vegas is the Showcase City for evolution in the arts, entertainment and technological fields.

You won’t find any stories glorifying Bugsy Seigel, the Mafia, Mob or gangsters on this website. Their contribution was nil, over-exaggerated and basically irrelevant to this city’s expansion (and I’ll tell you why later).

Instead - this website will tell the story of the pioneers, entertainment promoters, publicity departments, ad agencies, hotel designers, sign-makers, hospitality workers, photographers, taxi drivers, strippers, burlesque dancers, tango parlor ladies, showgirls and all the thousands of people that actually had the most impact on making Las Vegas what it is today - The Entertainment Capital of the World.

I’ll show you the days when Las Vegas was just a whistle-stop train station, the 1905 town-lot auction, the arrival of Hoover Dam and its impact, the beginning of Glitter Gulch and the Birth and Growth of the Las Vegas Strip.

There will be stories and photos of all the popular casinos and hotels…from Downtown and on the Strip (including):
* 1941 El Rancho
* 1942 Last Frontier
* 1946 Flamingo
* 1948 Thunderbird
* 1952 Sahara
* 1952 Sands
* 1955 Royal Nevada
* 1955 Dunes
* 1955 Riviera
* 1957 Tropicana
* 1958 Stardust
* 1966 Aladdin
* 1966 Caesars Palace
* 1968 Circus Circus
* 1973 MGM Grand
along with all the various expansions made to these Hotel-Casinos thru 1975.

Believe me. I know the ‘true history’ of this town and will show and tell you most of all I know and learned over the last 38 years (plus the stories and adventures I heard driving a taxi here from 1999-2006).

If you think anyone knows Las Vegas history the way I do - please think again. Casino owners, 90 year old gamblers, life long residents or even history professors and authors see Las Vegas history with a much different perspective. They view the story from the ‘top down’ instead of from the ‘bottom up’…usually with a narrow and slanted view and without an accurate historic observation.

I see it from a photographic historian’s observational point-of-view and will openly show and tell you what I know.

I invite you to come and take a look at the beauty of Las Vegas’ past, glory days on my all-new website - InOldLasVegas.com

And if you want to see what is happening in New Las Vegas, please check my WestVegas.com website for a complete guide to every hotel show, lounge and nightclub - along with photos of all the new hotels -from Wynn’s Encore, the new Aladdin, Palms, Palazzo and all the rest.

When there - you can find new photos plus important information on how to plan a better trip…as well as casino maps and my ‘Las Vegas Survival Guide’ (the things your travel agent, bartender, bellhop or doorman wouldn’t know or tell you in a hundred years).

If you stay just off the Las Vegas strip does it make it difficult to get places?

December 162008

If we stay just off the strip, or at the far ends of the strip, is it possible to walk to places easily? How long does it take? Would it be possible to walk? Does anyone have any recommendations for reasonably priced hotels anywhere in Vegas?

The Strip is 4 miles long, and the casinos range from large to enormous so your feet are killing you by the end of day one, believe me. But, there is a bus ("the Deuce") and a trolley that go all the way up and down the Strip. The bus also connects Downtown. There are also several shuttle or tram systems that connect related casinos for free. There is also the main monorail with stations all the way down one side of the Strip (not at the street, but behind casinos). Honestly, they're all a pain because traffic on the Strip is excruciatingly slow most of the time, which effects bus, trolley, and shuttle. And the monorail stations are only convenient in some cases. That's why I drive, taking the side streets. My advice is to check the website of the place your staying; you're likely to find they do have a free shuttle to a Strip destination, and you can go from there. This link has info and links that will fill you in on all these alternatives:

As for reasonably priced hotels, I think the Orleans, Tropicana, Sahara, Imperial Palace, and Monte Carlo are all fairly decent and reasonably priced. I usually prefer Downtown, though, since it's an easy 5-10 minute drive to the Strip from there. A good site for reviews and links is http://www.cheapovegas.com
