very in my feelings about the tropicana and vegas in general right now
#sometimes it feels like if we do ever manage to make it back to the valley nothing will be the same#the trop has been imploded#which means the flamingo is the last bastion of old-school midcentury vegas#(at least on the strip. fremont street still has some old holdouts and there are still individual ancient casinos around but still.)#i know nothing survives in vegas forever but like. we lived there only ten years ago and so much has changed#i still can't believe fontainebleau actually fucking opened! like WHAT???#that place had been under construction years before we moved there. during our entire time there. and for years after coming back to mn#ik most of the strip as i knew it still exists but losing three awesome midcentury Rat Pack-y casinos in fifteen years makes me so sad#(actually more like seven MCM casinos in the last seventeen years bc several others got imploded right before our arrival)#i love mcm architecture and that era of vegas so so so much and i hate seeing it torn down#i teared up when i was on the bus to work one morning and we went by the sahara as the sign was midair being taken down by a crane#that building had been so beautiful inside (minus the nascar bits ofc) and i had to see it get demolished.#sometimes progress doesn't feel like progress. sometimes it just feels like destruction.#las vegas#i just want to go home
