i'm so old
i remember going to vegas and staying at the Bali Hai Motel about a block east of the strip....owned by Howard Hughes.....many of the older casinos are gone now..... gettin there we actually got to drive across Hoover DAM.....looking over the west side down that looooooog slope was scary and going thru the insides was awesome with all the halls and rooms decorated with art deco tile.....Cottonwood Resort downstream from the dam was a gem of green water and trees, grass and plants in a desert of barren rock...Vegas was interesting and we went to 4-5 shows and museums and other points but never had any desire to go back
