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.

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!

The radio is great, too!

Wow. Las Vegas in the '90s looks so retro, now. This was fun to watch and compare the syrup to what it is, today. I love this! ❤

It's bizarre seeing an open field where the Bellagio/Comopolitan are now. That section is one of the busiest areas now.

I was 36 and driving taxi there, some good days.

crazy..you forget how much things have changed ... thanks for the trip back in time

Thanks for sharing this. I lived in Southern Nevada as a kid and this brought back memories. It's a different world there now.

Look at all the open land!!!

i love the casino radio... i wish they still had that playing so i could listen to it on the internet

The 90s were the best. Thanks for sharing this video - I love looking back at Vegas from the past.

Incase anyone is curious, MAJOR changes in order of the video as they came 1. Fremont street closed to autos 2. Main street is now a one way street at Charleston 3. Stratosphere is finished 4. Casino Vegas World front/Behind the Stratosphere is torn down (still empty lot) 5. Corner of Sahara & Las Vegas Blv is now Rock of Rio arena 6. Westward is torn down 6. Stardust is gone for Resorts World (under construction at time of this comment) 7. Tunnel under Las Vegas BLV for Desert Inn Rd is finished 8. Frontier is Gone, Trump Tower sits on some of it's old land 9. Center Strip is now City Center 10. Giant Lion entrance to MGM is gone Thank you so much for this video

It was a crime to tear down the Stardust. LOL, the old-new MGM with the ugly lion head entrance.

I was born 2 years later after this footage was originally created, and I never got to see what my hometown looked like when I was a baby in the 90's. Seeing this astonishes me, as it gives me a better perspective as to what my hometown used to look like. Comparing then to now sees a MASSIVE difference for this city!

Will never forget the excitement of all the themed hotels/casinos as they opened in the 90s. Was so awesome!!!!

cool to see the old Vegas World casino, looks like stratosphere was being built

At 6:27 76 gas costed $1.29 for regular unleaded and $1.37 for premium unleaded, unbelievable!

Omg casino radio!!! lol I used to listen to it wen I was very young

the old Treasure Island sign! love it!

6 Bucks for an All-you-can-eat buffet.. those were the days...

pretty sweet, love the old Treasure Island sign and the Lion entrance for MGM brings back memories

This video is an absolute treasure 🎉 I love to see Vegas history like this… so awesome to listen to the old Vegas radio station… thanks for sharing video

I love the radio station in the background!! So cool to hear all the old Vegas acts playing back then.

FANTASTIC ! Wow didn't remember how much open space there was. Great job. And the audio really added to the time travel. Thanks, for the vacation.

1994 was my 2nd trip to Vegas, we stayed in the just-reopened MGM which at the time had a complete Wizard of Oz theme thruout the place...I went to the topless show at the Sands and thought about all the headliners that had stood on that stage...hit the Frontier and Stardust both... great memories. Thank you for posting.

Now that's the Las Vegas that we remember. Great job on the video. Thanks for sharing.

I honestly can’t remember the first time I went to Vegas, as my parents would always take us for our yearly trip. But I still have some memories from 1990s Vegas. I remember when you were able to cross the strip without the use of bridges. And another one of my fondest memories was my dad taking my siblings and I to eat at the Arby’s that was located at the strip mall next to the Circus Circus.

Awesome. No goofy music; just the radio. Perfection.

Thanks for sharing... I had some good times living there from 1990 to 2000... now I'm freezing my a** off ten months a year in nowhere Michigan.

In 1994 I came to Vegas "for the summer." Almost 26 years later, I'm still here. This brings back memories!

Caesars, Mirage, MGM Grand and Luxor were the prime properties back in 94…it sorta, kinda looks just a little different n 2023, but that Vegas magic remains. Thanks for sharing this video!

Great footage! The local radio is the perfect soundtrack!

In 1994 I was working at "Sunny 106.5". I was a 24-year-old kid. Good times and bad times. Smoke Ranch was as far as it went back then.

Totally forgot Stratosphere was Vegas World. Caesar's Palace is unrecognizable! Wow how things change! Thank you!

This is interesting, I was in the military in 1994 and I flew into LAS for the bus ride to Ft. Irwin regularly. We saw the strip from a distance and I didn't make it to Vegas until much later. Thanks for the drive through what we were missing back then.

Ty for posting. Brings back good memories of the old vegas.

Las Vegas of '94 reminds me of the trip Mom and I were planning to make in '94. She hadn't been to Vegas in years and was looking forward to it. But we never made it, she passed in August '94. Miss you Mom RIP

Just got back from Vegas, took my Parents who hadn’t been to Vegas since 91’ and they couldn’t believe how much it has changed

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing! It brings beautiful memories, yes, indeed!

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. If you were to have been there in 1994 and go there now its almost not recognizable how much bigger the downtown and Brickell area have gotten.

The absolute best prime rib I’ve ever had was at the Sahara couple years before it was gone :(

That was awesome. Thank you

Love this Video!! Takes me to my childhood! This is exactly what Vegas looked like when we moved there back when I was a 6 year old boy. Great times

Love this video. How I remember it, I worked in the Luxor for 6 months in 1994. Man has it changed ! Thx for uploading.

Thanks for sharing, this video is a real gem! I graduated from high school in ‘94 and first visit to Vegas was in 2000. Even six years later it looked very different! Still love going to Vegas but miss a lot of the old school casinos and of course the cheap buffets!

The most remarkable thing is the lack of traffic!!

My! Just want to add my thanks. This surely brings a sense of proportionality to The Strip, doesn't it. From then to now. Good video work. Sure lots of vacant lots.

Such a beauty!!! Las Vegas in the early 90s. My hometown!!!! I remember driving around where you're driving as a kid!!!!! Memory Lane....😢😊😊

wow. it's a seeing Vegas 1994 I was born the year I was raised right behind the Hilton hotel and casino right next to wet -n-wild... i always wanted to know how Vegas was in those time..I rember the star dust like it was yesterday....good videos

Thank you for unlocking memories of my visit '96-'97. Didn't take many photos - film was expensive and had a cheap camera.

Thanks for the upload. Nice (but sad) to see the Frontier in the early years of the strike. God bless those workers.

I’d love to go back to this period for a week. Or much longer 😂

The Casino Radio Was an Added Bonus. Thanks For Sharing!

wonderful, thanks so much for posting

What a cool video, from the scenery to the radio. I wish I could go back to simpler times like this and escape this gong show of a world we have today. Thanks for the trip back into time.

I love channels like these😁 I'm born and raised here in the city and it's crazy to look at how the city used to look way back then🤯 The City changed a lot in 37 years

it was so much cleaner then everywhere it looks like

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 can feel the heat radiating through the screen

The first time I ever went to Vegas was 1994, and I stayed at Treasure Island. Man it's changed a lot since then!

Love these old vegas video. I started going to vegas in the late 90s from socal, this sis how I remember it!

Love me some Lou Rawls...thanks for the video!

So much better back then. Now it’s like a metropolis, can’t even see the mountains from some hotels. Love the PSA from JT!

Thanks for the memories

i never been to Las Vegas but this videos are awesome, great times , great years

Im in the video. Love it! Meet Frank Sinatra in 88 at the Sands. Would love to move there if I can someday soon

Love it !

Was born in Vegas in 1991. I remember bits and pieces of it back in those days. Seeing this helps with that. Awesome vid!

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.

1994…Frankie Valley and the 4 Seasons; 2008-2017 & again in 2023…Jersey Boys!💕

We used to go every three months back in the 90s… Drove in from Orange County. Would walk that strip, crazy how far it was between casinos. Carrying our little bucket of quarters ha ha. It was a very affordable vacation. You could stay overnight for 25 bucks even in the nice hotels.

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.

Wow!!!!!!!!! Great video.

I love LV. Seeing older footages of LV is a real treat.

There a few times in the 80's. Love the old neon signs. Just not the same these days with all the video screens.

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.

I remember going there in 1996, it was so spread out and neat, went again in 2005 and a few more times after that and it's like a playground for adults now, a bit less enjoyable unless you love to gamble. 90's Vegas is a lot like how Reno is now so Reno isn't far behind.

love the retro radio station!!!

WOW blast from the past. I listened to 92.3 KOMP the rock of Las Vegas. The morning show had Lark and the Bird

memories

Was there for couple of nights in 94. Saw Rodman at Ceasers. Remember the Luxor was the last casino on the strip.

Nice memories--it was still easy to bump around Vegas then...

Thanks for the trip, yeah buddy.

LOL. I used to drive a van like the one around 11:04.

Amazing fantastic footage .thx alot

Our first trip to Vegas & stayed at the newly opened MGM Grand. Our second trip was the same year. Many of the old hotels are gone.

Geez, I almost forgot about the Desert Inn detour (9:20)! They tore down The Flame for that project. Great steakhouse!

wow stratosphere casino is being built yet amazing

strat tower being built at 4:00! Very cool!!!!

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!

It was about that time I was walking up the strip just north of the MGM on a windy evening. A man walking about 30 feet in front of me got knocked over by a tumbleweed! Somehow I doubt that would happen today...

happy memories

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.

that was a nightmare back in 1994 new years day, car had a transmission problem

Wow, even has the construction detour where they were building the Desert Inn Arterial. Strat under construction too. I remember watching the progress from Bonanza High School each morning when I'd have my smoke. I wonder if it's still visible from the corner of Del Ray and Torry Pines.

I just like looking at the cars.

15:14 James Taylor reminded us everything we dump into our drains goes into our oceans. Too bad no one listened...

Shouldn't comment as old as this post is, but I followed along with Google Maps & Google Earth 3D. What a fun trip to both look back and see the change to today! The radio was GREAT!

dude be speedin like crazy
