I scanned this map a few days ago and I was going to post it as part of my "Random scans" post yesterday. Then I decided it would be more fun to post it with postcards from the casinos that are listed on the map. Then I decided to challenge myself to find pictures of the motels, too.
Many, many thanks to Jeff at vintagelasvegas.com ...he made it less challenging than I expected
Over the years 5th street, LA Highway, Highway 91, Las Vegas Boulevard, and The Strip, have all been used to refer to basically the same road. As the years went by, and the current popular name changed, some of the street numbers were tweaked which may result in an occasional discrepancy. When I list the addresses here I'm just using LA Highway to simplify it for myself.
Enjoy!
