Before Mandalay Bay, Luxor and Excalibur transformed the southern Strip, the Hacienda stood almost alone at the edge of Las Vegas.
My newest casino-history documentary follows its unusual hotel-first opening, affordable vacation packages, Hacienda flights, the 64-day endurance flight, Doc and Judy Bayley, the famous horse-and-rider sign, ice shows, entertainers, demolition and what replaced it.
Did you ever visit the Hacienda? What do you remember most?
