Found a feature on Flickr tonight called "Vintage Vegas". Flickr is a photo sharing/display/storage site, seems to be legit, nothing too strange has happened to me from it and I'n not a patron or regular visitor. Anyway, there are many vintage snapshots and pro images of Vegas and this particular catagory focuses (sigh, yes) on vintage. For instance, there's a photo of the Dunes with the note
"Taken 08/56 with Kodak Pony...the camera was lost at Disneyland a few days later..if you found it please turn it in to lost and found." Room for viewer comments too. I linked to the site tonight looking at someone's 1975 snapshot that showed about 5' of either Bob Stupak's Sinabar or The Vault. Ever seen a pic of
either? It looks like fun and you might run across that one almighty image that answers ALL your Las Vegas questions. Really. Go here:
