Wow another blast from the past for me. After living in Vegas for 44 years I bailed out in April of 2020 and moved 90 miles away to Kingman. I've been homesick ever since then. So many memories for me on Boulder Highway. My last house was off of Tropicana Ave down by the old UNLV stadium and surrounded by the Wetlands Park ( you really need to check out the park. It's an amazing oasis in the desert). Mom and I used to love going to the Skyline for the $1.99 breakfast before she passed in 2018. They had great food there if you didn't mind walking through the most smoke filled casino in Vegas. It has such a wonderful old school Vegas vibe as does the Longhorn. If we could ever be in Vegas at the same time I'd love to take you around to the places that were special to me over the years. I think there would be some great content for some videos. Thanks for another fantastic video from my favorite city!
@@ronaldmason7053 It's like night and day. It was quite the culture shock going from one of the most exciting cities in the world to one of the....well let's just say least exiting towns. After 44 years in Vegas I just needed a change. Boy howdy I got one!
Love your video & WOW, I used to live right there on Boulder Hwy at the Road Runner RV Resort. Lived there for 2 years been to the Longbranch many times for the great $3.99 steak & egg breakfast. Also did a bunch of sport betting at Sam's. In & out of the Skyline, Arizona's & It was a blast living under Sunrise Mountain next to the pool & jacuzzi !!
Well years ago when Vegas was a rest in between business trips for me I usually checked into the Budget Suites opposite Sam's Town. I had most of what I needed over there. In the sports book watching NFL games and betting on a horse race now and then. My McDonald's coffee and Egg McMuffin. That atrium show was a bit corny but still fun. You should check it out. Trivia friends used to come over to the sports bar that was there and they had a caged basketball court. Used to shoot hoops with a buddy that became a Las Vegas cop. I can tell you there were working girls around. Hey compared to some crap going on in cities around the US today prostitution would seem down right civil. Oh the good ole days. 🤣
Many, MANY moons ago, my dad and I owned a few trucks, however at the time of this story we only owned 1. Friends in Lucern Valley, CA “hired” us to go up on Boulder Hwy and haul a torn down drive in theater, to be rebuilt and opened in Lucern Valley. 4 days of trucking, a hotel room for one or two nights, finally got it all hauled to Lucern, never got paid! The steel is probably still sitting in the desert where I unloaded it. That was 1986. Morale of the story? Don’t work for friends IF it’s for $. Thanks WH for bringing back so many memories.
Are you talking about the Skyway Drive In? It was the only one that I'm aware of on Boulder Hwy. It was just past Desert Inn @Boulder. The owner lived in Salt Lake but his daughter was married and lived/lives here. Roxanne Havers was my neighbor growing up. Unfortunately for you, most of that area has buildings . There is still some desert but just east of there is a homeless camp, so I would imagine what was left behind is long gone. It's funny, but when I was little, driving to the drive in seemedva like a long, long ways a way. Too bad you didn't get paid but you did have your hands on some historic property and for anyone who was born here in the 50's and 60's it was a grand place that everyone loved.
@@sparkytuttle2966: I honestly don’t remember the name, but I was there when they rented a crane and dismantled it. Pretty sure I hauled the entire frame to California.
@@TERoss-jk9ny , You know, I checked and it was my neighbor's Dad who owned it. Ah, the Skyway drive in. How crazy is that , that we would both be here in WH's Boulder Hwy video and both be taken down memory lane? It's a small world. ( One more crazy memory hit me, I was an only child with a protective mom. When we did head out to the Skyway, she would put me in the backseat of her pepto-bismol colored 2 door Chevy. I remember it to be about the size of a football field. No one heard of seat belts or car seats back then. Anyway, we would head to the Blue Angel drive in where young girls would skate to the cars, and we would order a hamburger before heading out to the Skyway. It was a real treat. My mom passed away in 1995 and I hadn't remembered this until now. ) Thanks for a great trip.
I love Sams town, stayed there in January. The rooms are quiet, free parking, and the movie theater only charges $6. The casino is ok, since covid a lot of the hotels have not recovered. I play craps and they still have $10 tables. I used to stay downtown but everything is more expensive then it was a few years ago, plus all the hotel room are really noisy, parking is bad, and the gaming is just not fun. I would say give Sams or Place Station a try.
I have lived in Henderson since 1952. I had no idea Roxies existed. I also never heard the story about four mile! Thanks for teaching me something I should have known!
Oooh Nellie, I could tell you stories about Boulder Hwy 😆 unfortunately had to live down there for a year. Fascinating stuff. Awesome episode Huss except having to hear about abandoned pupper😔
Wonderhussy, you always come through with a really informative and instersting story to tell. You took me on a journey for a time and that's what's fun about watching you.
I worked for Sherwin Williams right out of college at the boulder highway location and we supplied the paint for a lot of those hotels and apartments complexes. We had our truck stolen twice. The second time they found it in the desert burnt to a crisp. It was always interesting down there. Has to put metal blinders down every night at close to stop people from throwing rocks through the windows. Was always interesting showing up at 545 AM to see who was sleeping in the parking lot.
Sam's Town has always been our favorite Casino. Showing its age, but still a great bargain and free transportation to the bus hub behind Harrah's or to Fremont St. Can't go wrong for $50/nite !
I fell in love with the seedy side of Las Vegas when I was a young construction worker and came to visit and spend my money. Good times with naughty ladies! Oh, to be young again!
HEYYYYYYY! Thanks for blurring out my license plate at the 07:25 mark. Appreciate that! I was just picking up my friends, second cousin from work and then driving her to calculus study group.
She shot her intro 3 blocks from where I grew up! Dizzy Wright wrote a good jam about the Eastside and Boulder Highway. I stayed at the top of the Eastside Cannery just to look over my old hood like a villain, Years ago, it was the Nevada Palace, which was a popular locals spot (and no-tell hotel). I miss the Sportsman's restaurant. It was one of the last bastions of the 99-cent breakfast.
I miss the Eastside Cannery! I preferred to stay there whenever I was in town versus the one on Craig Rd., because it was much nicer, and had a much better restaurant. Both Cannerys were sold to Binion's(?), and they promptly sold off this one. Last time I stayed there, they gave me a room on the same corner as the balcony on that bar, and probably right below it - and yes, the view was amazing! The story about Formyle & Roxy's reminds me of a story tgat Chuck Yeager told on his website, about his days in Tonopah, and misadventures in Mina... That dorm does look like an old barracks.
I used to bartend at the Skyline, many, many years ago. I first started going there back in the 70's. The lounge area hadn't changed much from then until 2003, which was the last time I was there.
The bar inside the Atrium rotates. The lites/waterfall show is gr8! Gr8 Mexican Restaurant, this was in early 90's. I use 2 take my Mom there, this video made me ball my eyes out!! Inside casino is a convenient store gr8 2 pick up bottled h20 or snacks. They have a Calamity Jane Ice Cream Bar upstairs along w/a 50's diner. The breakfast meals were huge, we use 2 split it & I 🤔 it was like $3 back then. Those days are l o n g gone!
Thanks for the tour Wonderhussy!, we discovered Sams Town and East side cannery back in the 90's and have stayed at Sams many times, we always go there even if we stay on the strip. On Saturdays with a players card you could get the " all you can eat crab leg buffet" for about 20$, i think its no longer but we stayed there with our kids when they were young and enjoyed the pool in the shade, the movie theater and the huge bowling alley. Also there 2$ black jack tables were awsome, hard to find in Vegas. Sad about the East side Cannery, hope it re opens, now you got me interested im comin to Vegas!
Funny. The Mustang Ranch near Reno used to pay Cab drivers an extra $5 for the 6 mile trip in the 70's. Not that I'd have any personal knowledge of this ;). It's what I heard. Love your ideos. BTW I had some great comments about an animatronic beaver but decided they might not get posted :). Love your video's even more :). Thanks
The cab drivers still do that in Vegas, it’s the strip clubs paying them to deliver people now… if tourists are drunk enough, the drivers will just drop them off without the tourists even asking to go there because they’re close to the strip usually and the clubs will pay them more than the fare would have been anyways.
There is a tale told about the landscaping down the middle of Boulder Highway. For many years, the state/county poured tons of herbicide on the center strip to keep it weed free. Then, somebody got the great idea to landscape it and beautify Boulder Highway. The developers were very confused as to why nothing would grow there......
It was a fun journey going along with you touring Boulder Highway in Las Vegas/Henderson, NV. your blog brought back good time at Sam’s Town and at the Skyline. Glad to see Skyline has accommodations for the guest. Good vlog. Looking forward to the next vlog and narrative. Stay safe and awesome. 😅
Hi Wonderhussy, I'm from Canada and I love your videos, especially the trilogy of the 'Mighty' Colorado River! Ha! You made that so much fun, when going skinny dipping at the source, to sneaking around the 'Wall' and the end. Too much fun, keep up the good work. look forward to more.
Hey Sarah, what a treat! Absolutely love your Las Vegas posts! As a former 20 year, Las Vegas, real estate broker! What a great reunion to see you go through Samstown! One of my favorite casinos! Boulder station was pretty good too! Thank you so much!
I was born in Bullhead City in 75. Vegas was where we went for anything and everything. I remember Boulder Highway being the only way in to downtown. And there was a fort along the way we never missed when on our way thru. It had wagon rides, gunfights etc. I have no idea what it was called , or exactly wher it was. this was in the early 80s. But I’ve never forgot it all these yrs later. Vegas is so damn different than it used to be. Too busy trying to be LA. Love your videos and your love of the gorgeous Mojave.
The Longhorn restaurant is great. I eat there atleast once a week. I love their Philly cheesesteak with thick fries and ranch. They have some good ranch. So delicious!!
Ha!! I used to live in the neighborhood right behind Sams Town, on Sheppard Drive.....I skated at Crystal Palace rink several days a week during my middle school years, when I lived in Vegas for a few years....I LOVED it back then, this was 1978- 1981. I also took dance lessons from an original Mousketeer, NANCY during this time as well!!! It was SO awesome when I was a kid!!!
Well done! I’ve only been to Vegas twice. Both times we stayed at RV parks on Boulder Highway. Never knew all this, fascinating what you can find in history when you dig deep enough.
I have a world-class view of the world-class view from the Eastside Cannery. I guess that's close enough. Always wondered about 4 Mile, so thanks for that.
I immediately thought of Sam's when you said the old strip. My step father was a amateur turned pro bowler. I've stayed there and bowled many times. It seemed to have a much more local feel and was much more friendly. Thanks for bringing back those memories.
Don't think Sam's had a bowling alley, your step father probably bowled at the Showboat (gone now but was at the corner of Boulder Hiway and Charleston) Their bowling alley often had big televised bowling tournaments.
@RJ Kent Sams Town had/has(?) excellent bowling lanes!! One time I was bowling up there with my boyfriend & a bunch of his friends, the security cane up & asked for all of our i.d's I was 19 yes old, 1st time this had ever happened. All of them were 21 +22 We had to leave, had just gotten late, curfew was enforced. It sucked, was embarrassing & I seriously considered a fake i.d cause of it 🤣 NOT for beers but for bowling lol
There is nothing better then going to a sketchy town going to sketchy bar and meeting a sketchy woman and taking her to a sketchy motel and have sketchy fun🤠

My ex wife and I visited my ex brother in law - who lived in Kingman in 1980. Pretty "laid back town" compared to Vegas!
Why don't you move back to LV if you're still homesick. (Sign of the times, I typed home and Google typed homeless!

I don't know how many times I've driven Boulder Highway, driving right past, and never noticed Roxy's spot. Thanks for the video. Jon
Where is the spot? What cross street?
I love a laundromat with a bar! Didn't know there were any left. ♥
Thanks! Loaded my hamper and the tide in the Plymouth and I'm headed for the Bar Laundromat on the Boulder Highway!
YES! I lived in Vegas for 8 years and I had no idea how awesome boulder highway was. THIS is pure culture kids.
What a great tour.

I immediately thought of Sam's when you said the old strip. My step father was a amateur turned pro bowler. I've stayed there and bowled many times. It seemed to have a much more local feel and was much more friendly. Thanks for bringing back those memories.
Don't think Sam's had a bowling alley, your step father probably bowled at the Showboat (gone now but was at the corner of Boulder Hiway and Charleston) Their bowling alley often had big televised bowling tournaments.
@RJ Kent Sams Town had/has(?) excellent bowling lanes!!
One time I was bowling up there with my boyfriend & a bunch of his friends, the security cane up & asked for all of our i.d's
I was 19 yes old, 1st time this had ever happened. All of them were 21 +22
We had to leave, had just gotten late, curfew was enforced.
It sucked, was embarrassing & I seriously considered a fake i.d cause of it 🤣
NOT for beers but for bowling lol
There is nothing better then going to a sketchy town going to sketchy bar and meeting a sketchy woman and taking her to a sketchy motel and have sketchy fun🤠
Totally agree with you. That would be the best sketchy time ever.
Best story I've heard today!!
Love Sam's Town. Love Boulder Highway. Love Henderson. Never felt unsafe staying and playing there.
