Vegas Pic of the week
This is a photo I didn’t even know existed and it blew my mind when I found it, like I’m sure it’s going to blow yours. It’s a picture of the Dunes, mid-evolution from a motel to a high rise. I found it at vintagelasvegas.com. Here we still see all the original façade with the Diamond of the Dunes behind it under construction. It wouldn’t be much longer before the sultan was relocated to the golf course, just off the freeway. That is until he caught fire due to an electrical short or something, I can’t remember. I’m just psyched that this picture exits and I can share it with all of you. Also, it’s not lost on me that this picture isn’t breathtaking it’s just a moment in time I’m grateful we have.
