Thank you so much for coming out to the show!! Save the date June 12-14th 2025!!
-
Thanks for memorable trip back in time. My late husband and I were married many years ago on the strip at one of the best wedding chapels around, The Little Chapel of the Flowers. We then celebrated our wedding at The Bootlegger Restaurant! We would return to Las Vegas every year for our anniversary and celebrated all over again. We never had a picture in front of the Las Vegas sign either!!
-
All of those places are a must see, I'm so glad "old Vegas" is alive and Well, I can still feel the Vibe, South Point is a prime example of a modern place with that ols vegas Vibe. Thanks a lot Dale, Thanks a lot Paula, you are simply the best!
-
Fantastic stroll down memory lane 👍🤠🎉. I miss the food bargains in Vegas. Lol. I can’t afford the strip anymore, so I enjoy Fremont. Wonderful video & your shirts look great. 😻🎉🎉🍀
-
There is still a million dollar display in Binion’s that you can take a picture with.
-
Love exploring the classic side of Vegas!
-
Nice cruise down memory lane...thank you. It's nice to see Vegas through more mature/experienced eyes. Been going to Vegas since the 60s & miss Old Vegas tremendously. My Italian background evokes wonderful memories of eating....at Foxy's deli on the strip, & if the slots were friendly, my dad would take the family out for a special dinner at Dome Of The Sea (at the old Dunes)....talk about classy old school dining.

This episode covers a lot of really great topics! I wouldn't mind seeing more about the collectibles show - it looks like it was fun.

I was 12 my first visit in 1972. I remember the old strip. Circus circus was the only place we were allowed into. That gorilla woman scared us to death. Cups full of quarters. We couldn’t be on the floor at all. My brother was stationed out at Indian Springs AFB before he left for Taiwan.

That's me RETRO😊. Thanks for the tour.
-
Very good review, D&P. I've been a regular visitor to Las Vegas since 1981 and it's nice to see some things still remain! Vegas is ever changing so it's fun to remember things of the past!
-
We haven’t taken a photo in front of the Welcome to Las Vegas sign yet either! Like you Paula, I don’t want to stand in a line to do it LOL 😂
-
Look forward to watching! My fave kind of Vegas content. ❤
-
Whooooooooooooaaa love the Peppermill!!❤
-
What a great creative video along with fantastic editing & narration. Keep up the great work! 👍
-
Still more ideas for my next visit to LV. Thanks!!
-
This was so cool! So many things and places we didn’t even know existed!!!!! So fun to see some “classic Vegas”
-
thank you dale and paula for the tour it was awesome
-
First of all, I would have never known about South Point without the vid you did on it. Now my go to place in LV. Staying there in October with my daughter who's coming in from Budapest! Second, you know how I feel about vintage LV. I've never been to the Neon Museum so that's on the to-do list with my daughter. I'm also going to try and get a reservation at Binion's to have dinner there. Keep it up. All the best!
