City was so gorgeous back then, and it still is, but it's lacking all the neon lights. It has too many big screens and not enough neon lights.
Mike Blarney whoops
yeah
I definitely understand the economics behind today's usage of LED's and plasma screens, but you can NOT beat the creativity and entertainment value of plain neon and incandescent bulbs. This video is pure joy!!
Even McDonald's was part of it
@@chrysler238 meaning?
The old signs were so interesting to look at and took such fun creativity to design.
Absolutely beautiful art. So gorgeous and they destroyed so many of them. It makes me sad.
Same, it made everything look better
Some of them are kept in Neon museum. Pay a visit if you went to Vegas next time
I'm impressed with the dirt cheap food specials on the signs as well!
i know wassup with that?? now if you want to go to the buffet at the mgm it's like 34$ wtff???
Inflation
So much better than today. THIS was Vegas. Who follows me into the time machine?
Fremont, binions, horseshoe, golden nugget, 4 queens, and flamingo still have classic lights like that.
The Mint and Golden Gate too
@@1986SSMONTECARLO the mint is long gone my friend
1980's were all about neon lights and glitz. 1990's were all about themed hotel/casinos. 2000's were all about 5 star hotels that look like boring office buildings. 2010's are all about abandoned projects and vacant lots. Sad place. It looks like it was over the top flashy at one point.
Haha!
Miami has the best 80s vibe imo
Eric--Poor post that is not anchored in reality...
watching this with some vaporwave stuff and a beer... nice trip
We never used that phrase, what does that mean? Is it fake 80's?
oldschool house for me!
Back when Las Vegas looked good, had a personality and knew how to take care of the people gambling
Just got back from a weekend at the Flamingo. It looks pretty much the same today from the outside. When I started going to vegas, it looked just like this video. I do miss the neon on the strip. Still a good amount on Freemont Street, but not the same feel. it seems so much sadder, and poor than it used to be years ago down town.
RIP 1900-2018
The first time I saw Vegas was 1986. Thanks for the memories!
I think Vegas is "best" the first time you visit it and you hope it never changes. Alas, it does. I miss the Vegas of the 70s and 80s. And when I was there during that time I was told that people miss the Vegas of the 50s and 60s and I couldn't believe how anyone could NOT love how Vegas was then. I understand that NOW. :(
Brian I am 17 years old and I wish I could’ve experienced what you guys have I want to visit the mint on Fremont street where Hunter S. Thompson wrote fear and loathing and I want to enjoy it I hate my generation with a passion everything is all technology everyone has there face in their phones it’s sad 😢
Nice Vegas nevada
Great classic Vegas!
Its fun looking back in time. I wonder if there are still craftsman around who can make these kinds of neon signs?
Love old Vegas. Takes me back. Good video just wish that annoying counter weren't in the middle of it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks; was looking for video of Vegas Vic back when he still worked and had his full sized hat. Hope they install Vicky back near Vic and hope Vegas uses some more neon, it’s mostly just giant led screens now.
Vicky is now inside the Circa, the "high end" hotel across from Union Plaza.
@ 2:33 -- Sassy Sally ''RIP''
This is the Las Vegas I loved and remember as a teenager!! I still wish it was like this :-). The Fremont Experience ruined Fremont Street.
banhmiso1 I know I went to Vegas for the first time in 1990 I don't remember seeing a homeless person on the strip or Fremont Street I went back in 1992 I didn't see one police car the two days I was in Vegas
That was pre-Mega resort Las Vegas (I think only two Mega resorts existed back in 92). When Las Vegas transformed to more family-friendly, more police were on the strip to arrest prostitutes for trick rolling a John, pickpocketers, etc.
#Nonsense.... Fremont Street was becoming
a dump...
Bring these neon lights back
las vegas always looked great but even back then it felt different, so its great, to see what my parents been through in vegas in the 80s. thanks for the upload
Use. To go to Las Vegas. With friends. In 80s. Miss 80s Las Vegas. We had been back. Since. 1990
Wow great memories relived. Thanks for sharing.
I love this lights
Never been to Las Vegas, but when I think of it something like this video comes to my mind: neon lights everywhere. When I watch videos of Vegas nowadays it doesn’t seem to have the same magic…
2:00 prime rib dinner for $3.99? Yeah I’ll go ahead and cash-in my time travel ticket RIGHT NOW
Nice Vegas nevada
for it being in the 80's the traffic moved pretty well now you're stuck in it..trying to get home from work. ..
Riviera and Frontier is my favorite
The Barbary Coast is now The Cromwell with a Drai's rooftop club and pool.
Barbary coast was much cooler
Love all the vintage neon lights. Wish there was some music playing.
Thanks for the post. Some of it made it to the Museum.
I prefer the neon lights ❤️
I remember driving down Fremont Street with my head sticking out of the sunroof. Good times.
Greatest sign of all time was the Stardust's sign... After the 80's, gambling became less and less the main focus. They're going to totally destroy the gambling aspect of the city if they keep lowering the odds for the player. 5/6 blackjack and triple zero roulette is a joke.
Luv it !
Good ol days
I was just in Vegas the week before last. It doesn't look this nice anymore. Half of this is gone now. The "Vegas Vic" sign wasn't even lighting up. And "Vegas Vicki" wasn't even up. The gimmicky ceiling show at Fremont hadn't even been updated since 2016 and was a rather boring plug for Green Day's album from that year, and everything felt kinda rundown. I still had fun, but I was a little disappointed. 😔
It's dying.
I remember being outside the Dunes Casino, and during that particular period, its exterior didn't seem as attractive as those of other casinos. However, when I walked inside, the interior didn't match the appeal of the other casinos either. This was around the time when they were giving the front of the casino a makeover. This was all before they started the process of demolishing and rebuilding outdated buildings to revitalize the are
Gorgeous.Funny how things go from good to not so good.This was the golden age of Vegas, seems like it is all down hill from then.
Laughlin is the new place to enjoy.
itd be good if you add music bluh
frontier with the old Road that went between with the Star dust
awesome!:)
The old signs are so unique it’s a shame they don’t preserve the look.
Leave A Light On...
The WORST thing they ever did was put that canopy over Fremont Street.
A cowgirl in new sign "Glitter gulch"
They should put the buildings in the neon museum also
This boi
What camera was used from this video
if i wrote a book about 80s vegas it would be called "giant shrimp cocktail 50 cents"
Poor service techs...
I remeber my hometown vegas used to be bright nd beautiful in the 90s now its boring nd competition ads everywhere...smh
What happened to the golden nugget ?.
Were 80's somehow better in US than time after?
Yes.
Nossa mano nessa época o mundo era mais bonito fala serio
Clown is creepy
