Stayed at the Westward HO. motel, largest motel in the world at the time. $12.00 a night rooms, 25 cent hot dogs..Next door was the Stardust hotel and just inside the door was their lounge shows, couple dollars for a drink, and got to see 3 acts over a two hour period. $1.99 buffet, wow life so much fun in those days.

Thanks for posting this! I grew up in LV throughout the 1970s, and it was so cool back then. It was glamorous on the strip at night in the hotels and casinos. Beautiful women and men were dressed in evening wear and had an air of sophistication to them (as seen through my childhood eyes anyway). The performers in the strip and downtown were old school entertainment legends still (Ann Margret, Joan Rivers, Sinatra, Dean Martin, Liberace, Ginger Rogers, etc)., and most of the fabulous original hotels were around. When I was in my 20s, I did go see Tom Jones perform at the MGM Grand, which was probably the most Vegas-y thing one can do...lol. The city since the late 80s is now just full of stupid themed hotels, 15.00 cocktails and a-hole college guys and their thot girlfriends. It’s so sad!

This was the Vegas ($) of Dan Tanna and Harlan Two Leaf. There's a great wealth of high-quality footage like this in damn near every episode of VEGA$. (all filmed on location in LV) Tanna's bachelor pad was right next door to the Circus Circus Clown of Many a Nightmare, and right across from the short-lived Silverbird. The show is well worth a look, despite the cheeeezy plot-lines, inane superhero mentality, objectification of women and oft-dubious acting skills. The never-ending flow of 70s-era cameos & character actors is worth the price alone. WATCH as Mike Brady/ Robert Reed plays dad to (rape victim) Maureen McCormick/ Marcia-Marcia-Marcia Brady! WATCH as Red Buttons repeatedly scams the Maxim Casino slots! WATCH as Randolph Mantooth acts like a total douche bucket! You just can't go wrong, folks. They need to get this show on a streaming service ASAP.

This is the Vegas I first enjoyed, it truly was sin city but the entertainment was great, as you can see from the marquees. And it was cheap too. You didn't pay $135 a seat for a show.

It just kinda lost it's personality somewhere in that time.
