Las Vegas

Stardust, Las Vegas, Nevada, 1960

Friday, March 16th, 2007 \"slide\"

The Tomorrowland of Las Vegas is served sandwiched between a water colored sky, parking lot packed with sparkling jewels, knee-high hedge and the Las Vegas Strip where a lonely, low line, ‘53 Ford heads south out of town. By any space age standards the Stardust is deliciously out-of-this-world. Whether it’s architecture as signage or signage […]

EMERGENCY! Freemont Street, Las Vegas 1967

Friday, January 19th, 2007 \"slide\"

I took a trip to Las Vegasland this week with National […]

Landmark Hotel - Las Vegas - 1974

Thursday, January 22nd, 2004 \"slide\"

If the Jetsons ever went to Las Vegas, certainly this must be where they stayed and played. They would’ve felt so at home because after all it looks like it came straight out of their ultra out-of-this-world universe.
