Las Vegas 1961

Viva Las Vegas 1961!! Sun Up San Diego host Bob Mills took the show on the road. This is vintage Las Vegas at its finest--complete with legendary actor/comedian George Burns hanging out poolside, and actress, singer, dancer Mitzi Gaynor performing at the Flamingo. We see Bob at the Sahara pool with divers. The Ink Spots on the marquee at New Frontier, Roberta Sherwood at the Dunes, Gypsy, Sammy Kaye and Kay Stevens at the Riviera, Red Skelton at the Sands, Crosby Brothers and Dick Shawn at the Desert Inn, and shots of Stardust, Last Frontier, Thunderbird, and slots and games at Sahara. What an awesome find from Bob Mills personal collection.

My Grandparents used to go every yrs since the 1945 until 1992 , I got married in Las Vegas in 1990 and have been almost every yrs since then. Don’t get me wrong there was a few yrs also that my Grandparents didn’t go but it was not many.
