I'd take the Sands, in the 1960's, when the Rat Pack was there...filming Ocean's 11 by day, and creating organized chaos at night...and a great time was had by all!
Second choice would beeeeeeee.....probably... El Rancho Vegas shortly after it opened in the 1940's. They were the ones that blazed the trail for all of the other resorts to follow. Or second might be the Horseshoe, when Benny was in charge with Jack and Teddy by his side. Or maybe the El Cortez...it was a class joint when it opened, and a lot of the celebs hung out there. No, wait, for sure second would be the Las Vegas Club when Kell Houssels owned it. Would have loved to have met him!! And would love to return from the trip back in time with a couple of those Las Vegas Club Arodie chips in my pocket!!!!
