[@LAFan]

Thank you for sharing. This is when Las Vegas was elegant and classy. Not the trashy place full of drunks it is today.

[@tomdalton4293]

Classier drunks then

[@matthewwilt4125]

Definitely drunks in the mix back then

[@shaniceturner7640]

Right

[@lynxdtc]

YEP....YOU MEAN WHEN THAT TIME WHEN THE KEFAUVER COMMITTEE DRAGGED IN BUGSY SIEGEL'S MAIN SQUEEZE TO TESTIFY IN FRONT OF A LARGE TV AUDIENCE AND ASKED ABOUT HER INCOME AND WHY DOES SHE HAVE A LOT OF MEN AROUND AND SHE SAID "SHE'S THE BEST DAM COCKSUCKER IN THE UNITED STATES"....YOU MEAN THAT TIME....REALLY !!

Kyoko Otani was Miss Japan in 1957, I'd say this is a little bit further back from the 60's, thanks for shring.

[@Hornet-vh6fv]

This was a time when you were greeted at every Casino with a cold drink and free smokes by a Beautiful Girl Long gone are the good ol days

[@arturovillarreal1693]

I like this 1950’s Las Vegas

[@Nikohere]

Ahhh man well back thn wen Vegas n Hollywood u Kno was filled w happiness n glory freedom n smiles beautiful women n couples not like now tho..

[@52lvlv]

LOVE THIS!! Dug up some info on it, and it was shot in 1956.

[@JoshMaxPower]

Thank you - it makes sense now that Johnny Ray would be shown - he was smoking hot career-wise in 1956, not so much in the 1960s. WTG

[@bahamutsix5765]

1957.... with a brand new ‘57 Dodge convertible featured in the beginning

[@52lvlv]

@@bahamutsix5765 Still makes sense as '56 - the '57 line of autos would've gone on sale in the fall of '56.

[@bahamutsix5765]

@@52lvlv You are correct about newer models sold in the fall season but later in the video The Mint hotel is seen (downtown) brand new. Opened in summer of 1957

[@makthnife]

@@JoshMaxPower exactly…JR did have a good album cut at the DI @1960. Bobby Darin’s from 71 is amazing, especially when you know the back stories about Darin at that time.

[@stephendacey8761]

Vegas is so different today with all it's huge casinos. It would be interesting to see what Vegas looks like in 50 years from now. There will probably be flying saucers instead of cars going down the Vegas strip.

[@JoshMaxPower]

omg hard to believe it wasn't completely packed with hordes of humanity and $18 hamburgers and utter sleaze...(Not knocking it! I love Vegas!)

[@russr1421]

Those days are gone. Show girls have been reduced to being naked on the strip asking for $5 photos. Jubilee and Follies were actually very good shows.

[@ItsIdaho]

I recently saw the Ziegfeld Follies on KZbin. What a class show.

[@DoubleDoubleWithOnions]

Those whoers.

[@bahamutsix5765]

Definitely 1957, the Mint is shown at 11:56, and two new Dodge models are featured.

[@thatoneguy6776]

love how they make you think "Movie Stars" are at poolside. They had their own private pools, and room, restaurants....

[@dianamarie4351]

It seems they were more accessible back then. Look up Paradise Palms. There were several celebrities living there. No gates, guards and easy to find, right next to the only mall back then

Now most people in Vegas dress in shorts and t-shirts.

[@JDC-ij9ql]

Back then people dressed to the nines to go out. Just remember what happened to Franklin

[@Specter1065]

There should be a historical 1950’s vegas strip off to the side of the ugly vegas strip…

[@penttijuvonen3257]

Sinful city! Lol🍻

[@danoesq2]

Be nice if this video worked. I was one of the few born there in 1960.

Did the Desert Inn have a casino or was it a non-gaming property?

[@ziggy2shus624]

It was a casino, but they didn't show the gambling on promotional videos like this back in the day.

[@desmondcastro3679]

B4 the mob really took over. It was legit vacationing resorts filled with celebrities. But today, now since the pandemic outbreak, it has become increasingly more about the gaming numbers. Very much expensive and not quite as safe. God watch over us here in Las Vegas.

[@allanritz5323]

The mob that took it over were called accountants. They would charge you for the air you breach. I gave up when they started charging resort fees. Even places without swimming pools are now charging resort fees. The thieves.

[@allanritz5323]

@@CommanderLongJohn Ironic you bring up the Mafia. I am presently watching a rerun of a TV series back in the 80's entitled Crime Story, about a Chicago thug you joined forces with the mafia and union to infiltrate Las Vegas. I highly recommend it.

[@tomdalton4293]

The mob very much was in it then

[@BostonSmitty]

Before the mob? Wilbur Clark was just a front for Moe Dalitz. Dalitz was the real “owner” of the D.I.
