In Las Vegas, of course.

Looks cool would be interesting to see. I thought the HardRock went belly up? What happened to the Mirage?. Everything seems to be topsy turvy.

I've always sort of wondered why Disney doesn't have a place in Vegas.
a make believe kingdom in a make believe city.

for myself, I'm a gritty realist.

We aren't gamblers but have been to Vegas twice. The first time it was really neat to check out all the fancy hotels on the strip. They all had gimmicks/attractions. We took in a few shows too. The second time we took day trips using Vegas as a base, took in a few shows too. Fun place to visit.

This story reminded me of being in Melbourne, Australia back in January. A local pointed out this building that the locals call the Beyonce building.

I guess our local Hard Rock guitar is about to lose it's record status.

Give me the days when you drove up and parked out front and enjoyed a really nice motel.

Based on the cars in the parking area I am thinking this photo was taken in 1959. Dave do you know when it was taken? Any other guesses?

I was wondering the same thing. I know almost nothing about cars, but I was thinking some of the cars might be 1957.

Is at least one of those cars a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air? I would like a better look at the hood ornaments.

(My family had a 1957 Bel Air station wagon.)

The Stardust opened on July 2, 1958 and judging by the cars in the lot the photo was taken in early 1959.
