I WANT TO GO BACK IN TIME AND GO THERE AGAIN!!! 1990s- It was the BEST!!!

Thank you. No goofy music. Just the sounds of where ever you were filming.

Thanks for posting this. It brings back great memories of those days in Las Vegas.

Came here in 1996! I miss it! I miss the sounds of the coins 🪙 coming out of the machines. This reminds me of the Silver Legacy Grand Opening.

I miss the great old 90’s casinos. The newer ones aren’t the same!

The 90's were exciting for Vegas.

Im 32 and I have been to vegas plenty of times. My parents would go ever since i was about 5 years old and I can honestly admit, Vegas was more magical in the 90s and early 2000s

So cool being able to see what MGM looked like before it was dethemed. Plus the original Mirage Suite. Great video.

Wow look how open Vegas was then now everything is crammed together.

The good ole house wife look in the 90’s lol. Every mom had that hair and similar wardrobe during that time. 90’s was the last good decade

I'm so glad I found this video. I always wanted to see what Emarld city looked like at the Mgm in the 90's. Thank you so much for posting this video.

Thank you for uploading this!! I remember staying here in 1994, when I was only 15 years old. I really miss the OZ theme that the MGM used to have when it opened. Now it just looks like a cheap Indian casino.

It's wonderful to see the "Forum Shoppes" as they were in 1994. The "Warner Bros " Store is greatly missed. Thanks for sharing.

Great video! I was 12 in 1994. Love seeing Vegas then and comparing it to Vegas now.

HOW COULD ANYONE NOT LOVE VEGAS, THE SIGHTS THE SOUNDS THE VIBE AND ATMOSPHERE!

At 12:00, the Forum Shops area near the Trevi fountain looks identical to how it does today. Amazing how some things change beyond recognition and other things stay the same.

My first time entering MGM is when they had the Wizard of Oz at the entrance and I still have this photo...but of course MGM had to take it down. They really should stop tinkering with everything on the strip... every time I've been there since, it's changed yet again...and not always for the better

Was there in 94 visited almost every casino on the strip. Started at Circus Circus and ended at the Luxor. Even visited the Ranch.

It’s amazing to me how companies like MGM can completely destroy a product instead of making it better. Look how awesome that Lobby that is. Fun machines the land of oz. MGM is a shell of its former self. I was there over the weekend and it’s a complete dump with trash bag clientele.

We were there when it opened. Left in 95. We flew out there about 2 weeks ago after 25 years and it looks horrible there now. Needless to say we won't be back.

Awesome video. I lived there from 1994-96. I remember when Toto was stolen. Huge "Vegas" news.

Thanks so much for showing us footage of the lion entrance and showing us what it looks like to enter inside the lion entrance of the mgm grand. I’ve been trying to look for footage of that for a really long time but no sign of it until I found this video. Thank you very much

Thank you for posting this! ❤️💕 I never got to see the Wizard of Oz thing at MGM because I was too poor. This is a treasure. And tell your momma she’s beautiful! ❤️

Thank you for trip back down memory lane.

Last time I traveled to Vegas was in the 90's, I really prefer the Vegas of yesteryear. I was able to walk from the Sahara to MGM Grand with ease. The prices were cheap and so were the buffets. Thanks for great video.

Thank you so much! Who says time machines aren’t possible? You have proved them all wrong lol this was awesome

Wow, the MGM Grand used to actually be "grand"? What happened?

Thank you for posting!! I went there when I was a kid and remember the magic show and thinking Emerald City was the most beautiful site in Vegas. And the magic show was amazing!! I remember it included them taking an audience member and trying out a guillotine :O

2nd trip to Vegas was about a week after the remodel with the Oz stuff... I still have the coffee mug I bought in the lobby gift shop.

Thank you so much for this video! My son and I were in Vegas last month and were remembering how wonderful a time he had on his first Vegas vacation with the Wizard of Oz theme.

I miss those days. great video👍

Fun time to be there .. town was still relatively small and business was booming

Very Impressive animatronics of the characters. My favorite is the Wicked Witch.

that room and bathroom are awesome. I loveeee 70s-00s architecture & interior design so much! That shower thooooo 😍

I stayed at MGM years back and although I didn't care for the room or the staff I will say their pool is probably one of the best pools I ever been to on terms of anesthetic and vibe.

Nice video.. Ty for posting.. I love old video's of Vegas since i been going since 1980..So much has changed. I truly believe trying to make Vegas a family place was a bad idea. I still love Vegas but it isn't as person friendly as it used to be..

I went in September 1994 with my Mum! i loved it there, we had been before. I took her to see Englebert Humperdinck at Ballys xxx wonderful memories

My childhood. Thank you! ❤

I was 6 or 7 going through this. I remember some of this stuff faintly. I also never got to see the show and the doors were always shut. I would bang on them hoping the guy would answer. I asked my mom for a bell once to ring so that I can piss him off to open it lol

I really do think this type of Vegas could work. This attraction looks far better than anything in the MGM right now and I wasn’t even alive when this video was made. The locals here are hiding in the suburbs because “things weren’t like they used to be”. I say a call to NYC to get the mob back together to run this city and get the corporate people out would be a good start.

COME BACK OLD VEGAS COME BACK.

You really filmed a lot of stuff. Nice video!! i took a similar video 2 years later. it's here on KZfaq.

People were still dressing classy casual then. I didn't see any hordes of slobs wearing graphic t-shirts, pajama bottoms, etc.

Folks carrying around the plastic coin cups!

WOW! The escalators actually worked back then?

Been going to Vegas for 30 years now leaving in a few hours crazy thing is i will be staying at the MGM for the first time i decided my bucket list is to start going to all the hotels that i never stayed at.

Ty

“Cash only”, it’s very rare to see signs like that today.

Wow que padre mi tía vivo por los 90's en las vegas y trabajo en varios hoteles que ya posiblemente fueron derrumbados por esa costumbre que los gringos hacen

Great footage! The 'Vegas' of my youth. It was perhaps that imposing visage of the MGM Lion 1:04 That led to the entrance reconstruction. Apparently, Tourists from the Far East found it Superstitious to be "swallowed" by the great Lion upon entering the 'Grand.'

Don’t know if it’s true or not but one reason why the MGM lion entrance was removed because of reports that so many Chinese gambling guests refused to enter the jaws of a lion to come inside, considering it "bad luck" in their culture.

This reminds me of Tom and Jerry and The Wizard of Oz (2011)

Hey - can you tell me did you video record this your self or is this from mgm grand - we would like to use this for an oz documentary

Your mom is so cool.

People just don’t get the concept that private property is private!

There was nothing like Vegas from 1980-1995. Then in the mid 90's it got commercialized and became expensive. Today Vegas is not the value vacation it was. Lodging and food are overpriced ie $49 buffets. We fired Vegas about fifteen years ago for Lake Tahoe.

Holy shoulder pads!

Are the two old ladies in this video still alive?

Was that JANET air taking off at McCarrsn toward the end?

Vegas took away all the cool entertaining shit! Im here now with my kids wanting to show them the stuff I loved in Vegas when I was young and the pirate show at treasure island is gone, the dragon and wizard at Excalibur are gone, no Wizard of Oz at the Mgm and no show of the God's at Caesars Palace. So sad to me

Was there last week... and doesn’t look anything like this what a shame.....all you see is high prices HOOKERS ... a lot of stoned people....

I miss the old MGM grand's lion head, they got rid of it because the orientials feared it

It’s a shame what a dump MGM is these days.

Vegas is such a conservative city.

Where are their masks?

Just saw this so glad the whole BS of Vegas family is gone. Like the parts of the old hag in green smoking LOL

What a great time to have lived in vegas. I was there from 92-2018. I busted so many nuts out there!! WHEW!! 🤣🤣😂😂😂
