Viva . .. Las Vegas ! 🤗

Me too. A solid 10.

My existence and financial well being is 85 years ago,

Many thanks!

@@KCLVChannel2 @Jatz yeah, me too. @MarkPeters Probably not @JatzMuppet Academics have a different view, but I don't subscribe to it personally.

Yes! I understand why Las Vegas enclosed Fremont Street. But in some ways it’s become trashy & full of boarder line hookers that pose almost nude with tourists🤮

@@stevenc8140 That's a bad thing? Who doesn't love a good hooker.

Necessity is the mother of invention. they didn't have welfare, food stamps, unions, healthcare, birth control nor safety net programs. It was very common for courts and law enforcement on the Eastern seaboard, to send prisoners West and drop them off out there... people take modern tax payer supported jails and prisons for granted - they cost towns money, they didn't want to pay to feed and house criminals... same thing with Mexico getting rid of their criminals. They don't want to pay for them. So, folks didn't have a lot of choice in many ways. Education was for the wealthy. Sink or swim. There's your motivation. The Eastern seaboard was getting increasingly populated - As far as "inspiration"? you might notice that these Grand investors all had mansions in nyc. Clark county is named after a man who never lived anywhere near it. he was a long distance investor... Who controlled people's lives from afar. People had to start pushing West because of the population... They were still farming, hunting homesteading back then. You can still find places to live that style. But there's lots of it, because we have safety nets, welfare, pensions. What about my travels and work on a few continents? The poorest people are definitely the smartest overall if I were trapped on a desert island? I'd rather hang out with the poorest people then Harvard PhD graduates They know how to live by inventing out of necessity.

@@TheFoolintherainn - Another factor in our collective lack of willpower is that we’re in an era of instant gratification. Everything can be had on demand. Need a new TV? Get it 1-day free shipping. Dissatisfied with your relationship? Swipe right on Tinder. In this documentary, they mention multiple times how the people in Las Vegas held hope for years for the Hoover Dam. These days, it’s easy to quickly lose hope in large visions, because there’s someone always on the other side of the development with a large megaphone, trying to break your faith for their own self-interest. And you can always find instant gratification elsewhere. So the big win gets abandoned for a labyrinth of small, meaningless wins.

@@TheFoolintherainn This is a great comment. Absolutely right!

@@SergioVanH thank you - my father had a wonderful intellectual curiosity, pinched pennies - and educated us children ... had us travel. but unfortunately, after he left this earth? The rest of the family took everything I had, and I turned to poor people to help me raise four children on my own it's an amazing feeling when your hands do things you thought were never capable When I took a serious economic slide, it was the wealthy folks, lawyers, social workers and whatnot who took everything from me.. I had to learn how to live again - and that came from hanging out in third world countries and with very smart poor people So you're complement goes directly to them - my words are simply relaying they're incredible fortitude and strength. Blessings to you and yours

Non

Same but I grew up in Youngstown ohio

@@TheHarlequin116 Recently, I was telling some younger folks, about how gray Cleveland's skies were when I was growing up. I didn't realize then, that it was all the sooty smoke being generated down in The Flats, where all the steel mills were. It wasn't completely obvious to me, because I lived in an eastern suburb, a good 30 minutes away from the heart of all that industrial activity. But in present times, well at least after the 1970s, if you see photos taken after that period of time, our skies are clear. They even were able to clean up oil slicks, that blackened the Cuyahoga River.

I played those casinos in the early 80’s. I even won a tie dye shirt from the Stardust .

I grew up in Vegas. My neighbor had a construction company and rebuilt the dunes golf course. That happened in the late 50s early 60s. I was to young to appreciate or participate in much of what was available but we tried from time to time. Back then you could drive down the strip without stopping and there was still space between the casinos. Went back to see my dad in October 2020. It was a shocking to say the least and saddened me when I realized the town I grew up in didn’t exist anymore. Drove out to Red Rock where we use to ride our horses, hunt climb the rocks and campout. They were charging admission 😢😳. Sad, sad, sad

@@toddvandervort1377 Oh, sorry. I didn't see your reply til now. You earned a tie dyed shirt, huh?? Cool!! 😉

@@TomBTerrific Omigoodness, that must have been a huge shock seeing Vegas again after all those years!!! Yea...I cried as all the beautiful old casinos were demolished one by one... The Sands, Dunes...some of the glitzier ones I loved to go to. It broke all our hearts seeing them going, going, gone. But the ultra mega resorts that soon went up were certainly gorgeous and extravagant, to say the least. Just incredible!!! I went back in 2019 after being gone for 10 years and BOY WHAT A CHANGE. It truly is an amazing place and I miss it like crazy. But I also miss "Old Vegas" .....and young Jill. Cant go back .lol I also loved Red Rock, Mt Charleston, Hoover Dam. Great places to go for different reasons. Just fun little getaways. And yea, when I was back there I was actually not too surprised to see that every casino now charges for parking. Everything changes... 😥 Take good care, wherever in the World you are. 😉

We're so glad. What other Vegas history items would you like to see?

@@cityoflasvegas As a member of the Latino community, I'm surprise the 1920s had bouncing cars. Time stamp of this scene is, 59:49.

@@henerybutron506 That's funny.

Me too, the rat pack years!

@@voce50 en on a fait une i

so #Josephine #Dark you are a Vegas baby💋❤🌹

And you are a shame to them I'm sure by your ridiculous comment on the pandemic.

Moe dalitz the real Mr las Vegas

Thanks, Cyrill. We're recording the narration for part 3 on Thursday.

Vegas sucks. Who tf in their right mind wants to live in a desert? lmao

@@Karlach_ Millions do just as is the case for Phoenix and So CA. Perhaps you haven't visited the sprawling suburbs many of which are actually quite green. Vegas is a major metro with many beautiful areas, spectacular mountains, national parks and ski resorts all nearby.

@@kendalldad Lmao cope harder

DITTO 🧐

My mom and dad moved here back in the 40s worked at the boulder club

@@josephineddddd They were great I'm sure. Their daughter is nut job Trumpie.

@@LAFan You're a tough one. 2nd grade name calling.

@@LAFan that would mean you voted for Biden. Not exactly something worth advertising. But then again all things considered… haha 😂

Briteline is planning a high speed train as they're doing in Florida. It will link Vegas with Southern CA.

Too many individuals own the parcel that connect Los Angeles / San Pedro to Las Vegas!

Perhaps AIRLINES want a MONOPOLY 🤔

How is it spiralling would you say?

It’s always been out of control lol

i understand what you mean brother

I consider myself to have been the last generation (Gen X) that remembers and experienced life before the internet. Millennials were young. Being an 80s kid was a blessing.

Blessed to be a millennial and be able to see such amazing things from before my time. However I would have loved to experience the 50s-80s

here it is! ukposts.info/have/v-deo/kYp2oGmdn4ur24E.html

Me too

Ditto.

There is! We recorded the narration today, it was such an interesting script. You'll love it!

@@voce50 When might that be released?? Love these documentaries!

@@mousegu I think perhaps April? I'm so glad you're enjoying them!

Correct. The case was a brown or beige rectangular object, often containing a change of clothes, toiletries, and other personal effects.

here is part 3 if you have not seen it: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/kYp2oGmdn4ur24E.html

Me. Part 2

Yep, the parking structure mostly

God bless Benny binion

Yeah. Fascinating. A real thrill ride. Honestly, the adrenalin surges make it difficult to type. I can barely move.

I'm about to go to Vegas and start a new mob syndicate, calle. THE GANGSTERS FOR GOD. our motto if you don't pray you'll pay

@@benniepearl4121 😁 good sense of humor! Best Wellbeing and many Blessings ... PS: Funny, we never know to whom we are speaking, a point I was taught when I first moved to NV, and one I came to very much be infused with. Good thing they also have such a great sense if humor and knew I am a real and nonjudgemental person. Value lies in all we experience, and nothing is "by chance"...

They didn’t discover Las Vegas and any other land! People lived there already! This is just 😢 sad!

Finders keepers.🙄🤣

Go away SJW

It's a strange, strange world we live in.....

Imagine the people that live here... stuck in a dirt bowl.

You wrote this 10mo. ago and all you can think of is, you had to cancel your reservation?? Take into consideration how many people have died since your comment. Thank goodness it was closed then or more would have died as well. I'm sure you have been there since..happy gambling..bleh

@@misswildlife7905 yes I do realize how many people died, we saved for 5 years so don’t go judging my comment, wear your masks and wash your hands stay safe!

Patti it wasn’t COVID-19 that shut down Las Vegas. It was stupid people who listened to corporate persuasion. Listen to the first video of this series. They spoke about the Spanish flu and wearing masks. Even back then they were smart enough to realize size matters!

here it is! ukposts.info/have/v-deo/kYp2oGmdn4ur24E.html

So glad you're enjoying it! There will be 5-parts, we recorded the narration for Part 3 last month. They're thinking maybe a May release.

May 15 release.

@@KCLVChannel2 A million thanks! Love to see REAL documentaries and REAL journalism when both seem to have been highjacked by the Twitterverse, or whatever the kids are calling it these days.

I loved that film!

Ww3 coming up in about 8/9 years? 😬
