Random Vegas
Built in 1982, the 2-story building that was the Oasis Casino @Dunes was supposed to be comprised of two components, a casino on the 1st floor and a restaurant on the 2nd floor. The restaurant never opened and the space remained unused until its destruction in 1993 (vintagelasvegas.com)
Twitpic of the week
Here is another @summacorp picture that mesmerizes me with all the history going on. For example, we know that this is 1968 because they are working on the fountains in front of the new Circus Circus casino. You’ll notice that fountain 5 is being deconstructed. That’s because they are moving the carousel marquee from the left of the fountains to that location on the right; all so they can make room to build Slots-A-Fun. Next door to that is Westward Ho still 3 years away from adding a casino in 1971. And next to that is the mammoth Stardust 1,000 motel units all lined up neatly like an OCD dream come true. If you look to the top left you’ll see both the Stardust casino and the 12-story expansion tower from 1964. And across the street from it all we have the Riviera with her classic marquee. It’s truly remarkable to think about how much land they needed back in the 50s through to the 70s and even 80s in some cases. Its no wonder why they all sold for the right price.
