Great content

I'd been coming out to Las Vegas since the 1960s and finally retired here a few years ago. What was I thinking!!??? Can't wait to move back East after Covid is gone

If only las vegas was real

I like the iconic original Vegas buildings. The buildings and sign lighting were pure artwork much like the cars of the 50s. The Mint and Stardust with the original lettering were my favorites. Nice documentary, thanks for posting!

In some way, I wish I had experienced Vegas much earlier in my life but on the other hand, I’m glad that I got to visit Vegas for the first time with my husband. I wanted to get married their. (It was a second marriage for both of us and we both had kids from a previous marraige) but he wanted the kids to be involved in the wedding. Our first visit was a surprise trip for him for his 48th Birthday. We were hooked!

Very good copy. Surprised there was no footage or mention of the 2010's casinos such as Aria, City Center area, Cosmo, Linq and the new Sahara. Of course the pandemic cast a large shadow on the economy in 2020. But hopefully things are on the upswing again as more people get back to traveling.

When Nv was the only place to gamble everything else was cheap from shows to buffets. Since I don't gamble it was a great place to go.

Las Vegas is like a lit up vagina. Im so looking forward to going back and meet some hot older women

How can there be Unlimited Electric ⚡️ and Water in the Desert 🏜????

First documentary that clearly defined the downturn and its causes in the 70s/80s.

very good watch, thanks for reinvigorating it!

History of LAS VEGAS !🤓

I really love these "alternative history" vids. Makes you wonder how things might have turned out in a different universe.

Fabulous!
Thann you

Nothing could be a better vacation destination as Las Vegas! Love it! I hope every human being could enjoy what this place has to offer!

GREAT VIDEO

Great history video of LV! I've never been YET, but I will.

Do you mind if I show parts of this on my YT channel?

37:40 I was there on the strip New Years Eve 1999 - what a zoo - crushed like sardines. Haven't been back since.

Thanks for putting that together!

Thanks, I really like the back drop of the the makings of vegas,

but, 7 years later after this video, Vegas is in a downward spiral and they can not see it.

I’m worried about Y2K

Very well done effort, thank you!

So sad that Vegas will not open again until a vaccination for Covid 19 is found!

Mayor Oscar Goodman at 28:38 : O

Love this. I have lived here half my life but didn't know how important this city has been on the national scene. I kind of did .. but there were things I was not aware of. I didn't like Las Vegas at first .. but found it hard to move away. Now I don't want to live anywhere else. Home is Nevada.

What an awesome documentary. Thanks for posting

Re invent itself, with resort fees , pay parking and no more free drinks.It also has plenty of homeless.

When those "leaders" were talking about the geometric rate of growth for Vegas...what year did they do the video interview?

Appreciate you putting this together. Did a great job.
