June 8, 2020: Scenes from Las Vegas, 1988

A few more blasts from the past.  Two Las Vegas hotels and casinos that no longer exist, featuring marquees for shows that have long since closed.  

The Frontier hotel was especially proud of their great magic show, Siegfried and Roy, which we saw during that long-ago visit.  One of the best Vegas shows ever!  As many of you know, the show was forced to close years later when Roy was severely injured and almost killed by one of the show’s white tigers.  Roy just passed away a few weeks ago.
