Front entrance of The Monte Carlo. Is the Monte Carlo missed? Does Park MGM even come close?

Boxing match outside in the parking lot of Caesars Palace 1982. Will boxing in Las Vegas ever be like it was in the 80's and 90's? Easy answer. No.

Wet 'n Wild Las Vegas. Opened May 18th, 1985, closed September 2004.

Caesars Palace pool 1969 and 1980's

@AnneLyo88410100 Nice

@las_when I was an F&B Manager there!!!!

What did the owner operators of this joint know that present day casino owner operators don't? Value! Boardwalk Casino Home of $1 Min. Tables, the 24HR Surf Buffet, $1.99 shrimp cocktail, and $12.99 for a 20 oz. Prime Rib Dinner 2003.

@mermtrain Westward Ho did have some great deals.

@las_when I also remember Westward Ho had a free champagne fountain and I think also had a chocolate fountain Anybody remember that?

With all the talk of how high food prices and other fees have become, let's not forget Las Vegas used to be a value destination. Look at those deals at the El Morocco. If they only offered FREE hot chocolate or frozen yogurt again Las Vegas would be hoppin.

Getting gas across from The Stardust Hotel.

Back when you could get gas on the Strip.

1967 Can-Am racing at The Stardust International Raceway located what is now Spring Valley. The track was developed to attract high rollers to The Stardust Hotel.

Marketing photo from the Barbary Coast. Hey, they are even using real dice and real chips.

Dining and lounge areas at Drai's at The Barbary Coast.

The Stardust Hotel, Royal Resort, and Guardian Angel Cathedral.

Close up of the top of the Stratosphere tower. The Bigshot and Roller Coaster. The Roller Coaster looks somewhat tame.

@adamrank The IP 💯

@las_when The IP and Tropicana were my happy spots on the strip.

With all the recent "Las Vegas is dead" talk, let's reminisce about a happier time. Prime Time Las Vegas for me would have to be 90's Las Vegas. Picture taken 1998 Paris Hotel under construction. Any era vegas > now Vegas.

@sports8 Definitely

@las_when Glad I saw this before they shut it down. It was a place you’d bring your out of town visitors

Opening night of the pirate show at Tresure Island 1993. That blast of fire was always so hot on your face.

The Aladdin Hotel and The Abracadabra Theater.
