Like I told Mark, the newspaper is over 50 years old, and is a bit brittle . It's pretty awesome, though!
It was published in 1955, in celebration of the Golden Anniversary of Las Vegas. I'm not sure if they just did this one special edition or if they did more, but they re-printed old stories and a few photos from past editions of the Review Journal, and the Las Vegas Age (first LV newspaper?).
Fifty two years ago, Las Vegas remembered and celebrated their history. Today it seems like most of the town is so focused on forward momentum, that they forget to look back.
I just love this old stuff
Swede's Oasis was the third (and last) casino pictured in the Searchlight ad.
