1994. The year my dad took me to Vegas for my 21st birthday. I've been back over 50 times since. I remember back then getting treated like celebrities when gambling in the casinos. Today you feel just like another number. The attention to the customer has fallen to the toilet. But none the less, I'm never going to stop going. I've had some of the best times of my life in that city. This video brings me back to my first ride down the Las Vegas strip. I'll never forget it! Awesome video!

I feel the same. My first trip was in 2008. Some of the best memories of my life are in Las Vegas. Ballys was my favorite hotel so many memories. Since Covid Vegas has lost a lot. More expensive and not as player/guest friendly. I will continue to go I don’t think I will ever get tired of Las Vegas.

90s Vegas was absolutely the peak. Good mix of new and old, extremely clean, nice people, affordable, safe. Rebranding the city to a huge club in the 2000s brought too many sloppy trashy drunks and partiers.

That field was the Dunes golf course.

We came from Los Angeles parents decided to move here, i do remember being sad leaving LA. But I wish i had a time machine since only remember bits and pieces. Me and my family used to go to the strip and downtown a lot when it was more of a family place,then there was a point where we kinda stayed away from the strip, so we kinda were like tourists in our own town and i was surprised and kinda sad knowing the places we used to go have were closed or replaced

To see all the open areas on the strip just shows the amazing amount of construction that occurred from the mid 90's til the 2008 collapse. The same thing happened in Miami.

This was during the time that my wife and I went to Las Vegas a lot. There were more open spaces then. Las Vegas Blvd wasn't nearly as built up then as now. Hacienda was used in some older movies and TV shows. A lot of those stores and motels aren't there today. I remember the Aztec Inn. Circus-Circus. That is nice. The Stardust Hotel was a really nice hotel. Loved to play in their casino and eat at some of the restaurants at that Hotel. Across the street was Silver City. A casino owned by Circus-Circus. The Frontier, nice casino and coffee shop. Got torn down. Treasure Island and Mirage. My wife liked Steve Wynn hotels. The Mirage will be a Hard Rock Hotel/Casino. We saw Rodney Dangerfield at Bally's. All that empty land now has hotels.

I went there as a kid back in either late '94 or early '95. I do remember it being emptier then compared to now. I think because a lot of the Strip was going through a bit of a renaissance -- lots of construction, remodeling, and new mega hotels/casinos opening. MGM I think started this rebirth, but I remember NYNY was being built, and a lot of remodeling of the older casinos.

My family moved to Vegas from the midwest April 94. I was under 2. Lived here ever since. East side. City has changed so much. But some ways feels just the same. Esp east. Thanks for posting. The radio ads are great. Still have the same Frankie Valli ad, lol!

Thank you so much for watching! Yes it’s amazing since I first visited in 1994 - 30 years later it’s unrecognisable!

I moved to Vegas 18 years ago from NY , it was like going to another planet, there was only 800,000 people in 06 , it was really nice back then, now going into 2025 there is about 4 million people living in Vegas we are just like every other city now, it doesn’t feel like Las Vegas anymore.

It’s such a drastic change now isn’t it. Sadly I didn’t appreciate it as much as I should back then. Been going each year for 30 years and I’m amazed at the changes in such a short time. I do love “new” Vegas but wish I had a time machine! Thanks so much for watching!

Last visited Vegas in 2016 and the difference 22 years before is amazing. I didn't realize the Luxor and Circus Circus had been around that long. No wonder they are both so tired looking!

We stayed at Caesar’s Alsace in December 2012. Shania Twain just started her first series there. What a fantastic resort. Beautiful artworks in all the common areas, luxury fixtures, They had a steakhouse that cost around $100 a plate and it was worth every penny.

I was at the McDonald's at 8:47 in the video. I think it was torn down a couple of years ago. It was across the street from the Riveria.

A nice trip down memory lane, I wonder how many of the places back in 1994, are still standing, it*s so sad to see how many places that were there, are now gone or are converted into parking lots.

I remember how great it was to just walk down the strip. It was so easy to get from one casino to the next. Now you cant walk the strip without being diverted in to an over priced mall or over priced shops. I loved those days.

Incredible video. Just feels like a totally different town/city, compared to today. Old grounds of the Dunes, pre Bellagio. (I don't see Monte Carlo also, think that opened in early/mid 1996. That was brand new when I was there this time in 1996) ....just wide open spaces along the strip..which is completely unheard of now.

I first went in the fall of 1995. I went to a conference last year at this time. Watching this takes me back. Only wish you could see the other side of the street. No bellagio, no city center, no Monte Carlo, no cosmopolitan, Aria. It’s so amazing the difference. Even caesars looks so much better. It is always cool and funny looking back.

I moved to Las Vegas in 1976 from Kansas City as a child. I remember so many buildings that have since gone. There are only a few I remember. Circus Circus, Caesar's Palace, Flamingo Hilton, Tropicana, to name a few. Times change, and Las Vegas changes in our lifetime. It may change again in a future generation...

funny to to see 90’s video as retro. the strip looks a lot cleaner, no street performers or hustlers. people peddling strip clubs or tourist trap tours.

@@TravelHonestly Went to Vegas for the first time in 1994 and keep going to this day. But GOD how I loved it back then. It was, by far, the coolest placed I had ever seen. Still love her though. She's even more spectacular at night nowadays. But man, wasn't that something? 😍
