Nevada in the 1960s was the only state with a higher mobster per capita ratio than New Jersey!

[@ShowRyuKen]

Thanks for archiving all these films and sharing them with us. I've only just discovered your channel but I'm absolutely delighted - I adore these sorts of films.

[@phoneone1371]

i miss the original Harrahs car musem , i still see cars from it at auctions to this day

[@saddletramp5000]

My father inlaw was the head mechanic for Bill Hararahs museum for 25 years. After he passed, his sons sold about 75% of the collection and forced my father inlaw into an early retirement. They're not loyal and nostalgic like their father was. Unfortunately. It was such a beautiful collection.

[@jacquelinemcguire3077]

I have lived hear since 1963 seen a lot

[@accadacastkr4912]

That was interesting reminded me of being a kid watchn tv

[@tikitavi7120]

Remember all these places well.

[@MalandDesYT]

As a Nevaden i like this film

[@DavidHernandez-qf7zs]

Holy cow the first scene is from my small town Dayton !!

[@mapadventures]

Awesome

[@saddletramp5000]

I live in Reno. Born and raised. Though I did move away a few times, I always came back. Nevada is a beautiful state. Unfortunately most of it, aside from Vegas and Reno (incl the surrounding areas) is federal land. Owed by our government. Unless they've sold it to China or Black Rock by now?

[@brianhenderson1977]

cool

"Some people are malicious enough to think that if the devil were set at liberty and told to confine himself to Nevada Territory, he would...get homesick and go back to hell again." - Mark Twain

[@cabzombie3484]

Not everyone appreciates the subtle beauty of the Nevada desert . I’ve spent many hours / days traveling back & forth through our State , exploring virtually every town / community that could be found. I wouldn’t trade it for all the concrete in New York City !

[@kylec.5476]

What a glorious country the U.S. used to be.

[@MrScratchmarks]

Anybody else here from Nevada laughing there butt off hearing the narrator mispronounce everything. Still love it!

[@unr74]

Nothing about Elko?

[@mapadventures]

❤

[@BassBunnyMusic]

We got Aliens, Burning Man, and Tahoe. What does your state have again??? #BattleBorn 🔥)°(🔥 👽🛸🥈

[@alangray9117]

I've always wanted some money minted in Carson City

[@steves7896]

The Silver State .....where more gold is produced than in the Golden State.

[@bellvnv2000]

19:44 'We felt it necessary to build a building where when you're 'outside' you can come 'inside' to enjoy when it's like......'outside' ! Now where's our government check' ? 😜

[@iloatheyoutoo]

Almost every single name is pronounced wrong. 😖

[@MojaveMenace76]

They pronounced “produce” as “PRA-douse”. Wth😂

[@yazz67]

I enjoyed this show but cringed every time I heard the mispronunciation of Nevada.

[@iloatheyoutoo]

Yeesh the native racism is... alot.

[@saddletramp5000]

I didn't get racism. It was just a different time. People spoke and acted much differently back then is all.

[@Simple_But_Expensive]

The native americans in Nevada are primarily various Ute tribes, especially Paiute. The constant references to “hostile” indians are pretty much bullshit. Although the ghost dance started there, the only hostile action I ever heard of was obviously hyped and manufactured by the white men. Oh, and the time I got into a wrestling match with a friend from the Pyramid Lake reservation.
