Ppl wear spandex shorts with everything hangin' out and flip flops into the hotels (pardon me while i barf)...looking their worst... just disgusting... and the hotels kept getting bigger and bigger for $$$ and the ppl were looking nastier and nastier. Now there's nothing much to glean from it... no excitement... its all been dragged down into a joke.

    This is a little before my time by 15 years, but what I remember on my 1st trip it was sort of like this, just modern, well more cars too, but Fremont Street you could still drive on, hotel/casinos were being built and torn down. Stopped into a bar in Binion's Horseshoe Casino, the one with the corner stage, and the turned wooden spindles on the short wall listening to music, think it was jazz or maybe 50-60’s slower music and playing keno. After going to the cafe for breakfast at 2:15AM, the big breakfast 3 eggs, bacon, sausage ham, hash browns and toast all for less than 5 bucks. Watching and listening to the music brings me back to a more simple time. Thank You for the video and getting me reminiscing.

    Anyone over 40 (which appears to be almost everybody) in the video is almost certainly deceased. Even the 30 somethings that are still alive are in their 90s. :/

    And 1 year later our family would drive north to attend the 1964-65 New York Worlds Fair when I was in elementary school. The first time I got to see the Ford Mustang in real life, the first time I saw an Airbag demonstration, the first time I got to see a man being shot out of a cannon and the first time I saw a man fly with a Jet pack on his back.☝😁 The 60s were such a great time for kids to grow up. Great music and cool cars and the sexy ladies.✊😏

    Why was everything better back then. Coming from a Gen Z. I prefer Vegas in the 1960’s over todays. Also the 80s still the best decade.

    It must have been nice then, I drove through about 20 years ago and it was a traffic nightmare, the only place I could find to stay the night without going broke was on the outskirts in this Motel that was still way overpriced.

      Way back when, African Americans were pretty much relegated to living on the West side of town and were generally not allowed to visit the Strip unless they were there to work. They weren’t allowed to stay at the hotels either. A casino, the Moulin Rouge was opened on the West Side to cater to them. The place featured many black performers and was popular with both African Americans and white guests. But unfortunately it burned to the ground after only a few years and was never rebuilt.
      Things started to change with the Rat Pack, lead by Frank Sinatra who would not perform if their partner, Sammy Davis Jr. , wasn’t allowed to stay at the hotel they were performing at.
