I love the old las vegas...so many iconic casinos are gone😢

My first time was 1995 and looked very similar to this and seen it change so much over the past 29 years. Earlier this week as they are demolishing the Trop and Mirage, I noticed at the Mirage they still have the Siegfried and Roy statue that was shown in this video. I didn't realize that was so old and for some reason, I don't think I ever noticed it until this week, despite passing by it 100's of times throughout the decades. Also very cool to see Harrah's riverboat and some of the older hotels I remember, but long forgot where they used to be...

Damn 1994, GG that's pretty cool but half are priceless

Was there in the summer of 94' to see the DEAD................ All the heads used to trip out in front of the Stardust sign for hours after the show.

Funny. This is the exact year I went to vegas for the first time with my grandparents. We used to go visit my grandpa's mother, siblings, nieces and nephews every year in California (coming from Texas) and we would spend a couple nights in Vegas on the way there and back. My grandpa would save up all year and be tight with his money, but on vacation he was like a different man entirely. As I got older I realized he did that so he could show his family a great time and that wouldn't have been possible had he not saved through the year. I'd give just about anything to make this trip with my grandparents one more time. They used to have such a good time and wanted me to experience the arcade even though I know it was a pain in the behind to have a kid in vegas on vacation with you lol. RIP Ma-maw and Pa-paw.

*2 Things:* Fashion Show Mall was short The skull-faced wall on Treasure Island ;_;

Good enough for a GM hood.

People dump on Circus Circus, but I had Good Times there! And it didn't cost an arm and a leg. Back in the 70s I frequented the $3.25 Dinner Buffet before retiring to the Dime-Ante-6-Card-Stud game. The Nickel slots paid out $185 on my Wedding Day; that's like $1000 in 2024 Money. Las Vegas is all high priced stuff now. We Old Folks miss the $1.95 Steak and Eggs of the Old Cheap Las Vegas.

Ideally if they did not get rid of iconic hotels like the Aladdin, the Tropicana, the Stardust, the Mirage, the Monte Carlo, the Riviera, & the Frontier, combined with they do NOT charge those extra miscellaneous resort fees per night & finally kept the volcano show in the Mirage as well as kept the pirates show at Treasure Island, then we would have seen modern Las Vegas would still be good. Unfortunately, modern Las Vegas price gouging too much with them resort fees & they got rid of several historical iconic buildings...

theres nothing.

Aww 1994.

add tropicana and mirage to the graveyard now RIP

So that’s how Cadbury make Flake chocolate bars😂😂😂❤❤❤👍👍🙏🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧

I was there a couple of times about this time. Stayed at Excalibur and Treasure Island. I miss that Vegas.

The Allman Brothers! Likely with Gregg Allman! Midnight Rider!!! 🎉😂😢

5:05 I am pretty sure that's me and my friends walking our way to Mary K's Arcade (Commercial Square......Yes...THAT PLACE..) It was two blocks down and my Mom worked at the Riviera (also had a great arcade). I lived off of Karen and be over there all the time. (The Strip served as a bus line)

man, imagine urban strike if it was done in today's vegas

Many places haven't been built yet, many not around anymore, fun seeing The STRAT in the middle of construction

Ahh, life seemed so much simpler.

cool...what camera was that ? VHS or HI8 or 8mm or compact VHS or Beta...

ahh back in the day when there's no zombie methheads roaming around.

Remember walking across the street on the strip drunk trying not to get hit? 😂😂 I hate it now.

This was filmed 4 months before my first trip ever to Las Vegas so to be able to see what it was like my first trip there is awesome, I have such vague memories of that time that I was there those few days.

this is so cool to watch from a local younger 20’s i drive through this each night to work

Very cool video! Thanks for uploading!!

I love these old videos so cool.

Love this! Man, the Riviera was so beautiful… and Excalibur looked all majestic 😂 Great catch with the dude getting nabbed on the sidewalk.

This is great. I drove the in this time from Santa Clara California and I di have pictures of that trip…..memories………

I live in Las Vegas and today its wayyyyy different

Excalibur and circus circus look exactly the same to this day

after passing MGM I don't see the MnM or Coke store.

In the long ago when Vegas was amazing and affordable. And then the bean counters took over.

Great video! I really enjoyed it. Brought back a lot of memories. But, I don’t think they knew that the Strip goes all the way to Sahara. They turned around about a block too soon!

Hey! Wondering if you could reply to me about potentially using a couple shots from your vid in my short documentary about an arcade player that frequently visited Las Vegas in the 90s. Thanks!

I wish we could have seen the prices I know they had $2.50 breakfasts and $5.65 prime rib dinners.

Back before it all went to shit.

Las venturas GTA San Andreas

I'm back after 5 years. My comment was the last one made on this video that blows my mind as well, and right now, they are in the process of taring down the Tropicana hotel; seeing it open in the video is sad after driving by the skeletons of those buildings today driving to work that means they have ripped off the entire outer skin of the buildings leaving just the frames of them standing there before they knock them down soon no more Tropicana Hotel it's just not Las Vegas anymore

I still recall this year like it was yesterday. Gosh…Did we ever think you would miss this time SO much? I am joyful that a small piece of it is captured here. Probably on VHS cassette yes? Cheers.

The Tropicana Valet used to be so cool. Thanks for the vid

seems like a scam

I worked at the STARDUST from 1987 to 1998. Thank you for sharing such Great memories!

Guess you could say that when it was coming down the line, it was...hot and heavy. Then it got all bent out of shape. It doesn't seem to take rejection well.

Real Las Vegas❤

Looks so much nicer back then than what it does now it’s just a massive congested mess now but you can see the place forming into the place we will all eventually think of when we think of Las Vegas in 2024 they ruined the secluded in a desert have fun holiday feel that it had up until the early 00’s

Tropicana has been closed since April 2 2024

WOW April 1994...suddenly remembered I was in my godparents bathroom in Spring Valley when the breaking news was Kurt Cobains death . There was a skate shop on Spring Mtn where Raku is now where I probably bought my first pair of Converse One-Stars. Had just gotten a job offer at Hot Topic but only 14 at the time so couldn't work. Thanks for the walk down memory lane with this video!

When Vegas was fun & they would roll out the Red Carpet for ya.The Casino's could give 2 shit's about you now

Is there only one speed for this machinery? And if the emergency stop takes that long to actually stop then it really isn’t an emergency stop at all.

People who say these were the "good old days" when it was simple and not crowded, there's an old guy that exists back then that disagrees and thinks 70s Vegas was better and there was an older guy back then who thought 50s Vegas was better and not so crowded. etc etc. Truth is, Vegas of the 90s was already crowded, just not to you of today. Vegas of today may seem "crowded" until 30 years from now when it's filled with space aliens and casinos stretching from the skies all the way to the orbit of space and we'll look back and reminisce about the "good old Vegas of the 2020s and how it was "less crowded and more simple times".
