How bout Ollies trollies. The teenbeat club was the only place in town for teenagers to hang out at.
The Tip-Top at Charleston and Las Vegas Blvd, and the famous Blue Onion.
I could go on and on, but dont have the time right now,,
The Chicken soup at the Alpine Village...the best!
My grandparents worked for Union Pacific and came here to work on the train station, there was nothing here but tents.
The Club Bingo downtown, and the Sage and Sand Motel right next to Caesars Shell gas station. We used to buy all of our white shirts at Vegas Village, before Gemco and Walmart got here.
I'm glad somebody remembered Carbone's Pizza on Charleston, we loved that place. So many great memories of Vegas since 1976.
