2001 Las Vegas

Tour the Strip

[@eltorolocowey]

My mom recently passed away and we went in 2001 I was hoping maybe seeing her in the clip 😭😭 honor your mother and father they are only here shortly 😭

[@reddevilparatrooper]

This was the best time before 9/11/2001. Everything was awesome back then. That was the time of my life just having fun and not getting married for a 3rd time. One thing about living in Vegas is always something is moving and grooving good or bust. I love this city as long as it wants me here living. I even miss Vegas when I was in Iraq for 2 years for my combat tours. Getting home to Vegas was as is awesome because of the lovely folks who visit here and enjoy themselves. I love to see happy folks. Viva Las Vegas!!!

[@Gambleraddictz]

reddevilparatrooper that’s awesome bro I love Vegas too! And I miss it there! I love the energy and atmosphere. You feel so alive. I want to move back. It’s boring out here in Phoenix lol

[@Gambleraddictz]

iwoww 562 same here! Especially going with the right individuals! Do you have Instagram or Twitter?

[@MarcoGamer640Productions2012]

I was alive back then, except I was not even a year old as I was born in February of 2001. But I was born and raised in Vegas, I'm sure you have seen how much this city has changed since then, what with the monorail, the High Roller, the freeways and the huge expansion.

[@SLone3251]

Seems like this was filmed post-9/11 given the Christmas stuff that was out by New York New York. Strange that the 9/11 stuff isn't around the Statue of Liberty because I remember that stuff was kept up for months.

[@davesolomon5397]

Thank you for your service! God bless you and God bless America! Good will triumph over all this insanity and negativity nowadays .

[@gsvkck]

Thanks for posting this buddy, I was in Vegas for my 21st b-day in 2001. Boy does it bring back memories. This era marks the tail end of old Vegas for me. Dunes was gone, but Stardust was still there.

[@rclc161]

same age here, lived there briefly in 2002

[@user-ys2dr2eo5j]

@@rclc161 I would have liked to live in the seventies, eighties, nineties and the beginning of the millennium I was born in 1999 and I wish I could live that time Iam cry right now😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@emiliasteilsson7910]

I was just a egg in my mom in 2001

[@eddychavez3919]

i went for my 21st bday in 2021

[@dominicchester0328]

1980 you were born??

[@stevengarcia8428]

When Bellagio was still new. Thank you for posting this!

[@fredk9999]

Thank you. This is the LV I remember. I spent more time there in the past. Fun! Fun! Fun! Thank you to our host for posting

[@djjbzombies]

Halloween 2001 I was on the strip. After 9/11, I remember it being surreal. People were extremely friendly.

[@RickW0071]

I also stayed at the MGM in 2001! 1st week of December

[@scottrobbins6216]

Venetian was brand new ..... I was working there

[@AslanKyoya1776]

I went to Vegas for a dance competition when I was 7 that same year, I'm sad I was nowhere near old enough to fully experience it, but the neon lights and energy still captivated me. I would love to go back in time and see it again. I might move there soon, I hope there is still some remnant that feel like 90s/early 00s Vegas.

[@cerebrodelictivocarclubps4309]

You will. I recommend the free circus acts in Circus Circus, the Strat has some old school vibes but not as old school as Fremont of course. Themed casinos are almost inexistent at this point but you have Paris where you can view the center Strip. Today's casinos are mixed with neon lights and LED screens to light up

[@michaelfrederick6330]

This is the year after I first got to experience Vegas for the first time ever. Stardust, The Frontier, The Boardwalk, The New Aladdin, The Sahara, The Riviera..man, it feels so different today compared to even this era..

[@carmenmorey6266]

I was thee with my love, whomI I loss in 2020, we use to go all the times. God I miss him and Las Vegas then.

[@ChatGPT1111]

Very nostalgic. Feel like I saw this 'old' Vegas yesterday. Amazing now much changed from '81 to '01 but comparatively little has changed since then. I used to go often during the Vegas TV show days and stay at the Desert Inn where they filmed.

[@MarshallsWorld]

A lot changed in 2023 lol. When was the last time you were here ??

[@lstwrd.]

I am so thankful for this video!

[@tbird77]

Thank you Ray Finkle. This helps as I’m supposed to be there May 28th. My 5 year streak of visiting twice a year will be broken

[@MattWilsonVegasFan]

Excellent video! I think you would be one of the first Vegas vloggers!

[@padawanviolinist]

This was my childhood, so much has changed

[@BrooklynMusicForum]

I was singing with a band at the Bellagio, also the lounges at Harrah's, NY NY, stardust ECT

[@US-Warrior]

My very first time to Las Vegas was July 2001

[@underminer2223]

It’s funny, this is 2 years before I was born yet I love this time period more than anything. Late 90’s/ early 2000’s, just so cool, so chill, I really love it.

[@user-ys2dr2eo5j]

Damm man just like you bro I would have liked to live in the seventies, eighties, nineties and the beginning of the millennium. I always grieve and regret that I did not live in that wonderful time.

[@pickstech466]

I loved Johnny Seaton on that stage at the front door, this was the best Vegas era for me….

[@mrmakitapackout2055]

This video helped me recall how loud the water fall was in front of the Aladin.

[@michaelfrederick6330]

wow. this really takes me back.

[@brandoncazares8452]

Thank you for your video sir

[@TheRealdeel73]

I was there on Labor Day weekend. Yes, right before 9/11.

[@mbenz64]

I arrived 3am on 9/11/2001, stayed at the MGM Grand for three days..

[@BrooklynMusicForum]

That was the last Good Year in Vegas

[@dominicchester0328]

Facts

[@gertjanvandermeij4265]

Old Vegas just sucked balls ! *So happy to see all those old hotels are finally gone !* Loved to see eyesores, like The Sands, Riviera, and Frontier, etc, are blown up ! 👍

[@spectroman71]

When all of the non-gaming attractions were still relatively new and popular. Maybe not as great an era as the 70s-80s but I'd take this time period in a heartbeat vs. now!

[@henryfernando7289]
