My husband and I stayed there in the 1970's and loved it. It had a charming atmosphere and was low key. Movie stars used to stay there in the separate cabins, in prior years. We had hoped to go back and stay there again, but by the time we wanted to go, it had, unfortunately been sold to the freakish Scientologists. They had armed guards on the entrance and told us to go away. So sad........

Lived on the MESA 941 Fellowship road👍❤️🇺🇲🌹 Beautiful nice No money grubbers. NO LITTER

Great memories great shows from Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin, the Marx Brothers, Judy Garland, Nat King Cole, Lena Horne, Jimmy Durante, and Abbott and Costello. Today's vegas is far more expensive but still a wounderous place to visit but nit quite the same.

I was one of the two gardeners that took care of the grounds. My boss was Steve Penovitch, a truly wonderful man. Thanks Steve, you taught me more than just gardening, you helped me grow up.

Dad (Jack) , his brother Bob, Ray, Aunt Doreen, Junie Mae, Beverly. Granny Cump, Uncle Vern, KatieBug, and the twins.

@8mmHomeMoviesChannel I'm trying to track down the right holder for a clip from this film. Can you help me out?

I was 8 months old in December 1968. Love watching these videos.

The old man is watching THE JACKIE GLEASON SHOW (CBS, 7:30-8:30 p.m.). Away we go with Bing Crosby, Liberace, Alan King and George Kirby.

The cheesy dubbed in projector sound sounds like a drill! 😂😅

Beautiful ❤️

Ahhh back in the days when everyone smoked in the house with clouds of smoke.

Love it. An early example of an elf on the mantle, over one roaring fire 🔥.

Awesome footage! 1968 is the year I was born...... I could've done without the fake projector sound in the background however! 🙄

I have the reel right in front of me. i bought it at a second hand store.

all of '68 to the end of '70 I was onboard as a gunfire control tech. Spent a good bit of time in the Gulf of Tonkin. A ship load of memories.

20 years before I was on board Hollister! Strange to comprehend that she doesn't exist any longer.

Even the men got scented gifts like the aftershave they were trying on.😎

Love it!!!!

Inspiring ❤

No meth yet !! Thats why it WAS peaceful

paloma no bola🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good stuff. I think the camera man had Parkinson’s disease but still pretty cool.

Amazing!

I was 5 in 1978. These were so lovely to watch. The good old days when pumpkin patches were....pumpkins and not $40 admission. lol

¡Wonderful!, ¡thanks a lot!

T-Bar 2 is where I started working at Mammoth in the winter of 72 - 73. Chair 11, 12, 13 and 14 were installed summer of 73. Thanks for all the good memories.

Does anyone but me remember the lights for those old movie cameras ? I swear you could bake a cake with those things

Back when we still ironed and smoked inside the house. So long ago😢this was such a wonderful walk back in time…thank you

This place became a prison camp for Scientologists. I lived there for 20 years (1983-2003). Very hard to escape!

Christmas 1972, My younger brother and parents were still alive then. Good times Then and this video lets me time travel so thank you!

Wow! Sure doesn't look like that now. The river was so big, there's a lot more green space. It's horrible how people have depleted the natural beauty in such a short time.

Life before the absurd Immigration Act of 1965 and the decline of America that it's brought and continues to bring.

I grew up as a kid here in the 90s off 607 Stahlman Dr walked right to the river from where I lived sadly the house burned down if I had money I would rebuild a home there as far as the video its crazy to think how all these people are Now Gone! Stay Forever Young Everyone!❤️‍🔥

I was there for the first time about 10 months ago and my first question was "why are the boat ramps so long?" I didn't know it was almost dried up

This is now owned by Scientology

hard to believe lake mead is almost dried up...

city is trash now

Amazing

Thanks so much for sharing! Pure gold…

2:50 - WOW those mountain look the same even today!

2:45 - Those guys were actually on their way to rob the casino! they got $1375 all of it in silver dollars!

0:26 - I guarantee at least 6 out of those 8 people were smoking cigs.

1960 at latest, is that what you think the late 60's looked like?

This looks the Indio, Coachella area in southern Cal...by Palm Springs area, we lived there for a while , just too hot...thanks

Old home movies are always kinda interesting.....my Dad took a few when we were all young, i'm 62 now and im the youngest....lol, thank you.

No children?

Well there's two minutes of my life I will never get back.

Was this film taken on Christmas Eve? It appears the sun was out at the beginning, then it got darker outside.

Would've loved a sight of the old Miramar Hotel, but this was a nice nostalgia trip.

That "elf on shelf" was made out of cloth & bendable also came in green as leprechauns ah the 50s&60s!!🙂🙂🙂
