There's something about photos of Las Vegas in the 60s that feels so warm and comforting to me

Like this is where I belong. Those are the streets I'm supposed to be walking down. I must have lived in Vegas in the 60s in a past life or something because it looks so much like home to me.

Aladdin, Las Vegas, c. October 1966. Pana-Vue slide via Ad Sausage. 

Topless Scandals starting at 8 PM, and Pussycats Galore Revue, 3:30 AM.

“Jazz-Watusi Shows Seen Twice Nightly - First, the popular Strip resort featured the only topless-and-bottomless showgirls in Las Vegas. Then it came up with the only all-girl topless band in the state. And now the Milton Prell hostelry presents two entirely different jazz-watusi shows on its nightly calendar.” - Review Journal, 10/7/66

“Milton Prell’s plush Strip hostelry now presents the first all-girl topless band to perform in Las Vegas. The ‘hip’ horn blowers show their brass at 3:15 and 5:00 a.m., as a part of Ron Stanton’s 'Pussy Cats Galore Revue’ … 'A club in San Francisco became very popular a few weeks ago with the first all-girl topless band in the country,’ said Stanton. ‘The idea fits better here with our topless dancing showgirls,’ he continued, ‘and with two saxes, a fender bass, guitar and drums, the two-beat effect fits all of our productions perfectly.’ … Pussycats led by Jodie Lamb” - LV Sun, 7/29/66

The Mint opened in 1957. Milton Prell, who also owned the Sahara Hotel and Casino and the Aladdin Hotel and Casino on the #LasVegas Strip, was one of the original owners of #TheMint. Prell and his associates had engaged a firm to use a computer to come up with a list of possible names for this new addition to #downtownLasVegas. They had been working late into the night in Prell's home, when his wife Debbie came into the room and suggested the place be named The Mint. Del Webb assumed ownership around 1961 when he acquired other properties of Milton Prell. On April 6, 1962, Sahara-Nevada Corporation – the operating group of the Sahara and Mint – announced plans for a 22-story hotel skyscraper addition to the Mint. The addition was expected to be completed within 16 months, at a cost of $5 million. The addition would be built on the Mint's north parking lot, and was to include 300 additional hotel rooms and suites. A six-story, 210,000 sq ft (20,000 m2) parking garage would be connected to the new hotel building, and would include more than 550 parking spaces. In May 1962, the city planned to review the permit for the new tower. A groundbreaking ceremony was held for the tower in July 1962. Construction was still ongoing in July 1964, at which point the tower was planned to include 24 floors. Construction reached the 24th floor at the end of the year, with plans for an additional four floors. The hotel tower was ultimately built with 26 stories, and was topped out on March 20, 1965, with plans to open later that month. The new tower stood 290 ft (88 m), and was one of the tallest buildings in the state at the time, ranking only behind The Landmark Hotel and Casino, which stood 297 ft (91 m). Renovations were also done to the existing building, which included work to the Merri Mint Theatre, and expanded dining areas. In 1988, The Mint was sold and became part of Today’s Binion's Horseshoe Casino. #VintageLasVegas #midcentury #midcenturyliving #1960s #midcenturylighting #neonsigns #history https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxveo3wlyqY/?igshid=13nek9tnd0n7h

One of my cherished art pieces hanging in my loft: The Blue Angel I found this photograph, ironically in Los Angeles at the Melrose Flea Market, I recognized this immediately as the famous Blue Angel that sat high above the Las Vegas strip in downtown Las Vegas. I used to drive around her and watch her image against sunsets. Then over the years, the brought her down and imploded her hotel. She now sits in the Nein Graveyard Museum. I’m just grateful I got to witness her when she was on full display during my times living in Vegas. She’s a true icon and allows me to reminisce all the good times I had in Vegas. She now sits (or at least her image) sits proudly in my loft. *Only those true die hard Las Vegas residents can remember and recall her. 😇 #vegasicon #lasvegas #theblueangel #blueangel #angel #vintagevegas #vintagelasvegas #joeygalon #joeygalonatelier #artist #designer #theblueladyhotel #neonmuseum https://www.instagram.com/joeygalon/p/BvNhsgrHTvK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lvogtuiw1pkz
