There was a Culinary Workers strike in Spring 1967. Was anyone here a part of that? There's a documentary in the works and they're looking for someone anyone frequented the downtown music scene during the 60s, anyone who went to, or worked with the shows at the Golden Nugget, The Mint, Nashville Nevada Club, and the others.

A drive on the Strip, May 1960. Traveling south from El Rancho Vegas, to the Tropicana, then back up to the Sahara. Soundtrack: "Ruby" from Martin Denny. http://instagram.com/vintage_las_vegas | Vintage Las Vegas

Historically, Las Vegas featured more locally owned hotels, restaurants, and attractions, rather than the large chain establishments that dominate today. While the Mafia’s presence had negative aspects, it also contributed to a certain image of glamour and exclusivity, particularly in the earlier days of the Strip. The focus was arguably more on high-end entertainment, including elaborate stage shows and performances, and a more sophisticated nightlife scene. #vegas #classact #stylish #lasvegas
