Hilton has one of the nicest sportsbooks for visitors. Plenty of space, plenty of booze.

If you're going to be there during March Madness, it will be NUTS.

If you are a young American, may I advocate against the stupidity of American youth? I work with a lot of foreign people who are just getting involved in American culture and have never seen this shit before....

... a lot of them ask, 'Why do American kids wear pants up to their knees and aren't able to walk straight?'

Drop that non-sense if you adhere to that stupid dress code.

Yeah, so it goes in the 1960's an italian mob blew up the first MGM.
Later on it was sold and now is Bally's.

The Dunes in the far back from 1955 to 1993. The Bellagio now stands on its former grounds. Nice place for you to stay.

I live in Vegas, best sportsbook is prob the Hilton by far. FYI ML are always the highest there too.

Can remember going through there on our way to LA one summer vacation, I think the Summer of '65. It was the most boring place in the world for kids to be then, not so much anymore I guess. Spent the day at the pool and the night in the hotel room watching the two TV stations that came in on the rabbit ears.

The movie Casino was based on Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal who ran the Stardust from the 70's until the early 80's. In the movie he ran the fictional...Tangiers Casino.

Nice shot back in time.

Willie Bee · 02-25-09, 04:56 PM

That is a good shot from days gone by, old Freemont.

MonkeyF0cker · 02-25-09, 05:15 PM

Just amazing how fast this place has grown...

bmw530i · 02-25-09, 05:15 PM

Old Hilton, with Gladys and Mr. Dynoomite!

bmw530i · 02-25-09, 05:17 PM

Yeah Monkey, you reside in Vegas right?

MonkeyF0cker · 02-25-09, 05:21 PM

Yes, sir. That must be the Hilton just after it switched from the International...

MonkeyF0cker · 02-25-09, 05:25 PM

I wasn't looking while i was walking a few weeks ago and literally almost ran into Wayne Newton at the Venetian.

bmw530i · 02-25-09, 05:28 PM

Some of the cars back then are outrageous. How was Wayne's permasmile? lol

MonkeyF0cker · 02-25-09, 05:32 PM

Haha. He looked like he just got out of a tanning booth.

"ghostly apparitions some have reported seeing at Bally's. However, Cridland and Allen also discuss the 1980 fire at what was then the MGM Grand in which 84 people died and 679 were injured, and how the tragedy changed the hotel industry worldwide."

I may actually stay at Ballys, or Planet Hollywood, which is better?
