Hi all! I just uploaded 2 MORE Las Vegas footage videos! Check them out on my channel. And please subscribe if you haven't already. It helps me a ton! I have a lot more footage to upload in the future. Thanks for watching! -Don
This is 1958, probably September 1958, the only exact match I can find for the four headliners on the Golden Nugget marquee (0:56 Harry Ranch, Wade Ray, 4 Barons, Nick Alexander). Some of the neon signs and building decorations seen in the film date to 1958, some changed by 1959, more changed by 1960.
I agree, you would expect to see some 1960 model cars there and its Vegas so you expect them, given how rich America was then and nearly everyone had the latest car. Did see a 1958 Edsel though. All the cars to me say 1955 - 1958, although at the start is a very 1940s thing turning the corner.
I know my Uncle and Aunt went broke, were broke, stayed broke, gambled every cent they had for their entire lives. In the 60s and 70s flying out to Vegas once a year was huge event for them and others from all over the USA.
Love it ❤️❤️ I'm battle Born and raised ❤️ and my Daddy was already 7 yrs in at the Flamingo out of 53!! He put in there! How lucky they were to have this Jewel in the Desert!! ❤️❤️💋💋
Seems like Fremont Street was wider back in the old car driven Avenue era compared to today's transformed canopy covered mall look. Then again it's just me.😊🍺
Other than the Vietnam War draft coming 5 years later, 1960 was a better time to be alive than 2021. Enjoyed seeing Vegas the way it was meant to be. 1972 Vegas wasn't bad, either.
Biggest disappointment of my 1998 trip to Vegas was the absence of the famous Golden Nugget neon sign . Only the Horseshoe and the Flamingo signs were worth looking at .
Wouldn't it have been something if they had preserved fremont street to maintain its original state. Imagine all the people that would want to visit just to see vintage vegas in person.
If any one home movies have two kids out front of the Nugget that was Bob and Jeff I was seven brother eight dressed in cowboy gear out front GN whilst mom put nickles in the slots, pop watch us.
There was a direct link to this video on some study material from my university on Robert Venturi's analysis of the Las Vegas strip. Cool vid! Thanks for sharing.
There wasn't near as much govt overreach back then and living wages were on par with cost of living One person could work and have a wife at home to raise the family. Nowadays the govt has everyone chasing their tales and the banksters have stolen from us via inflation (reverse theft) and the cost of living is much higher than most wages.
Apologize if I am repeating but there is nothing in this clip to suggest it was shot after 1958. No way you wouldn't see a '60 in foo foo Vegas in '60 but the newest here are '58s - an Edsel and possibly the Dodge. 🎬
Month, and Year'..i was Born. ( Bangor, MA) Dad was in Airforce. Fam was in Japan, Alaska, Maine, So Cal...but would be dispatched from an American Airbase in Japan, direct to Las Vegas NV, in 1964. Where we stayed for 10 years, till moving to Nor. Cal...in the Fall of '74. A wonderful Decade, of some of the best years of my Life. Las Vegas...Before it turned into an utter and complete 'unrecognizable' overbuilt, overpopulated shit hole.
Vegas first got ac in 1920 and it was the Apache hotel that got it first I think they may have also been the first hotel on the strip I’m not sure but yeah it was there in the 20s so it had to be there in the 60s.

After all these years can't believe I'm still living in Vegas, best year was 1977
I was 12 in 1977 and it's my favorite year.
A real vintage look at Vegas. Rare and interesting. Thanks for posting.
I LOVE OLD LAS VEGAS

@MegaSkilla He sure does! He should apply for a job with the Paul Drake detective agency on the old Perry Mason show.
Wise ass

@@cosybully 🤣🤣
I only saw the 57 Custom Ford Taxi was the newest looking car.
I know my Uncle and Aunt went broke, were broke, stayed broke, gambled every cent they had for their entire lives. In the 60s and 70s flying out to Vegas once a year was huge event for them and others from all over the USA.
And after all these years, Vegas Vic still stands high and proud.

I was there two days ago, first time since the 70's, to watch them implode the Tropicana Towers (1957-2024) It's like Disneyland nowadays.
Fremont Street was really a street back then. You can drive from the Golden Nugget Casino straight up to Boulder City without turning.
amazing video A Look Back. I shattered the thumbs up on your video. Always keep up the terrific work.
Thank you for sharing.

I beg to differ on that buddy....The late 1800s was a lot better.
Oh woow. Its crazy how so many people had vintage cars back then
They were are all vintage car enthusiasts
most of those vintage cars were turned into rebar to build all the new hotels.
Uh yeah, that's because it's set in the 60s Sherlock.
Vegas was a lot better back then
I was two. I remember it well.
👍👍Very fun and cool. Thanks.
Here live & in color 2022 goin' back in time!
I love the "Miracle Mile Monroeville" (PA) on the film can. We lived near there not long after the date of this film.
Very nice, do you have any more? We had our wedding dinner at the Golden Nugget in August of 2000. It is much different now., especially the canopy.
my dad drove us thru las vegas just to see the lights at night while on vacation we was ten years old . was cool
That Edsel was produced in 1958, went to the deales to view them in sept 1957,, station at nellis afb 1954 to 1957
Cruising down Fremont Street. Good old day's
Biggest disappointment of my 1998 trip to Vegas was the absence of the famous Golden Nugget neon sign . Only the Horseshoe and the Flamingo signs were worth looking at .

omg so glad i live here now but it is nastolgic ty for sharing
I was there in in 97
wow. when the hotels were right off the sidewalks. now it's a quarter of a mile to the front door entrance.
They sure had crappy cameras back in those days
A VERY different Vegas World. When Glitter Gulch was STILL Glitter Gulch 😉
If any one home movies have two kids out front of the Nugget that was Bob and Jeff I was seven brother eight dressed in cowboy gear out front GN whilst mom put nickles in the slots, pop watch us.
Oh if I could snap my fingers...
Can you imagine Vegas in August without AC in your car??
There was a direct link to this video on some study material from my university on Robert Venturi's analysis of the Las Vegas strip. Cool vid! Thanks for sharing.
Life seemed so simple back then…
There wasn't near as much govt overreach back then and living wages were on par with cost of living One person could work and have a wife at home to raise the family. Nowadays the govt has everyone chasing their tales and the banksters have stolen from us via inflation (reverse theft) and the cost of living is much higher than most wages.
And I didn't even mention the Scamdemic....😀😂
Good old days
Lived in Kingman Arizona
Hasn't changed a bit in 63 years
Apologize if I am repeating but there is nothing in this clip to suggest it was shot after 1958. No way you wouldn't see a '60 in foo foo Vegas in '60 but the newest here are '58s - an Edsel and possibly the Dodge. 🎬
this is what lizzy was talking about
0:11 seeing that made me wonder, how the heck do you actually get old footage like this onto youtube??
Gameboy ====all you have to do is set it up like you see it at home then start videoing with you phone camera
I wish i lived back then, when honest working people could just get a house and a car without drowning in debt
I wonder what 1950s and 60s Casino owners would have thought about slot channels?
I wonder how many times a day they had to replace coins in slot machines back home? I bet it was a lot more work

When the mob owned Vegas.
During this time was there inside air conditioning?
Vegas first got ac in 1920 and it was the Apache hotel that got it first I think they may have also been the first hotel on the strip I’m not sure but yeah it was there in the 20s so it had to be there in the 60s.
The ‘AC’ as we know it today did not exist much. Most every place and all homes had swamp coolers.
like better call Saul title
2021 the government of the world has destroyed this plant.
Las Vegas was a better place back in the day - Definitely nicer, that's for sure
The mob kept it clean and safe.
How were they able to CGI all the fat people out of the shots?
So, is Fremont Street the old Las Vegas strip, or has the strip always been where the MGM Grand etc are now and just remodelled a lot?
Fremont is the original strip,
@@CA-dr7tf Thanks
Probably a lot of bodies buried under those casinos!
