| The Flamingo Las Vegas 1971 |
I was in Las Vegas last month and purposely went over several images from my fathers trip their around 1971. There's another I've posted here which I named Caesar and the Pinto and was taken across the street from Caesars Palace. My thought was that I could revisit these spots and take an updated new image. Well, as anyone who has been to Vegas recently there's been a lot of building and the old locations were barely recognizable. This neon sign is no-where to be found (unless it's in the Neon museum) probably subsumed under one of several new tower blocks that is the new Flamingo.
I wonder what that show would have been like; Sergio Franchi and Lonnie Shorr. This image was from a batch that had no date stamp so initially I was guessing at the date but thanks to the interwebs I searched the show team and found some ads from 1971.
