WTF does it take to get off the "anonymous" list at this party, anyway?! I mean, the "unregistered commenter" guy looks nothing like me! Feel like I'm standing at the red rope line while the glitterati stroll on by and into the Viper Room. Make you a deal. Put up a picture of Shemp Howard instead of Michael from now on. Hell, I'm not proud.

A dedicated follower of your fine blog.

A slight, ever so slight, correction. The only time Led Zeppelin played Las Vegas was at the Ice Palace, in support of Led Zeppelin I. The second show they were booked to play was at the Convention Center, but Robert Plant came down with hepatitus in Phoenix and the CC show had to be canceled at the last minute. Still have the ticket. In the parlance of the day, bummer, dude.

One small error that you may want to correct.
Slots-O-fun is still standing and is part of the MGM Mandalay bay group.]]>MarthaSun, 09 Mar 2008 20:44:17 +0000http://classiclasvegas.squarespace.com/a-brief-history-of-the-strip/2007/12/11/the-thunderbird-hotel-history.html#comments68732:1093544:comment/1345990LasVegasLynnThu, 17 Jan 2008 00:26:32 +0000http://classiclasvegas.squarespace.com/a-brief-history-of-the-strip/2007/7/8/frontier-hotel-history.html#comments68732:1093544:comment/1229420
They started as part of the Lido de Paris Show at the Stardust.

But when Donn Arden put together HHollywood! at the original MGM Grand, he brought S&R over from the Lido Show (which he also produced).]]>Gil CohenWed, 16 Jan 2008 22:58:14 +0000http://classiclasvegas.squarespace.com/a-brief-history-of-the-strip/2007/7/8/frontier-hotel-history.html#comments68732:1093544:comment/1229238LasVegasLynnWed, 26 Sep 2007 01:39:14 +0000http://classiclasvegas.squarespace.com/a-brief-history-of-the-strip/2007/9/23/the-fabulous-flamingo-hotel-history-the-wilkerson-siegel-yea.html#comments68732:1093544:comment/1010041Thanks for the update on McAllister. We have highlighted him and your book (and will continue to do so as we continue our Brief History) on the El Rancho Page and some of the Pages in the Brief History of Fremont Street.

Congrats on a great book by the way!]]>Chris NicholsWed, 26 Sep 2007 00:14:40 +0000http://classiclasvegas.squarespace.com/a-brief-history-of-the-strip/2007/9/23/the-fabulous-flamingo-hotel-history-the-wilkerson-siegel-yea.html#comments68732:1093544:comment/1009951DamienMon, 24 Sep 2007 03:39:28 +0000http://classiclasvegas.squarespace.com/a-brief-history-of-the-strip/2007/9/23/the-fabulous-flamingo-hotel-history-the-wilkerson-siegel-yea.html#comments68732:1093544:comment/1006265
