NCR--More Las Vegas 1959

Our vacationing couple risks life and limb to stand on Fremont Street, while having their picture taken with the Golden Nugget, Lucky Strike, Club Bingo and Vegas Vic in the background grin . On the right edge of the picture is part of the sign from the Las Vegas Club.

Another street scene, this one includes the Fremont

Our couple didn't take many pictures of individual hotel/casinos when they were downtown, but here's a pretty good shot of the Las Vegas Club grin (I wish they'd angled the camera a little more to the right, they could've got a shot of Buckley's Jackpot Club...)

A shot of the train station (currently the site of the Plaza Hotel & Casino)

O.K., O.K. I know this is the strip...but there's a sign advertising the Golden Nugget, so I figure they were headed downtown when they took the picture rofl ! grin

The cd included 3 1954 pictures from downtown:

This is my favorite, in fact it's my desktop background grin . The picture, of course, is the Horseshoe during the period when Benny Binion was in jail and Joe W. Brown ran the Horseshoe
