Loved seeing the old Landmark hotel. 1973 was the first time I rode to the top of the Landmark and saw the view. At that time you could see the outline of the city by the lights as they met darkness. Each year I would visit and see the ring of lights get larger as the city grew. Just before the hotel was torn down, I did get a chance to see the lights of the city become endless........miss the hotel.

PKPhoenix83 Agreed so much! I only finally visited Vegas in 2015(& months before the Riviera closed), and watching this and a few other vids definitely confirms that some of the charm the Vegas strip once had has been lost, in the 2 decades between then and now. With the Riviera finally closed down and Barbery Coast/Bill's Gambling Hall now turned into The Cromwell(never saw either of those 2 incarnations, before Cromwell), Flamingo and Circus Circus almost seem like the only strip casinos with a lot of exterior neon anymore. Thankfully, downtown Vegas on Fremont St. still has tons of classic neon, and that the Neon Museum did preserve many of the former strip and downtown exterior signs. They just need to work, to get more of their sign collection restored and into working shape again.

Many of the casinos shown here are now long gone, replaced by high rises and empty lots. This film was made as the transition was just beginning, so you have the classic casinos like the Sands and the Stardust, and the new casinos like the Mirage (a high rise of course) starting to take over the Strip. Today the Strip has absolutely NO character whatsoever. One of the saddest losses was the Riviera. NO casino had more colorful neon than the Riv!!! Plus it was THE place for stars like Frank Sinatra. NONE of the casinos today will EVER have the history and tradition that the classic casinos had. You might as well do your gambling at the bus station or the airport. They have slots too, and a lot more character than the modern casinos!!!
