I apologize to all of you who had to switch to IE to get to this site. My site has been stolen five times - no, not parts - the whole thing - downloaded on their computers/servers and uploaded to their sites then calling it their own. To top it off, people were downloading pictures so generously donated by people and selling them on Ebay or using them on their own sites without permission of the owners (NO, the pictures AREN'T public domain. This site and all the pictures on it are protected by the DMC and is under copyright), and lastly, people have been stealing it to use as descriptions for their on-line auctions. As some of you remember, this site was once wide open and the pictures large and beautiful, but unfortunately, due to the scum of the Earth also having access to the internet, I had to take these measures. Please do not write to me and complain unless you can tell me how to keep the scum from getting to this site. I've filtered my e-mail program to automatically delete e-mails containing certain 'complain' words. The only ones who have a right to complain are the individuals who have made a monetary or informational donation to this site and those e-mail addresses have been accepted by the filters. Also, please do not write asking for copies of the pictures or information on this site without being prepared to pay for it. It has gotten to the point that I was spending so much time looking for pictures and copying and pasting information for people that the site was being neglected. I will send you a scan of the picture without distortion for a donation of $2.25 per picture to cover the time I spend complying with your request. This DOES NOT INCLUDE the pictures donated by individuals. I will have to contact the donators to get their permission and obviously, because of the extra work, your request will be put on the back burner. Just click on my donator's page to make the donation and then e-mail me telling me what photographs. The information on this site will only be given to people who are willing to sign a document stating they are not using this information for any money-making ventures including books, TV, movies, etc. I will charge for this work based upon what you want. Please e-mail me with what you want and I will send back my charges for it. If you change the subject matter of your e-mail I will not receive it. Last but not least, remember the old saying - Don't complain when its free - well, please live by that saying while visiting my site. Please believe me when I say I really truly don't want your opinion, warnings, sarcasm, etc. Unless you have paid over $25,000 to put up a site just to have it stolen, I just don't care. Suggestion: You may want to turn your pop-off protector while visiting this site. I have different pieces of information opening in new windows so people won't lose their place. |
Welcome to the most detailed history of the Las Vegas Strip on the internet today!
The Strip is a world of its own. Where else can you go to visit Egypt, New York, the Tropics, King and Queens, Rome/Greece, Hollywood, and much more all on one street? This is the street of lights, excitement, and dreams. Some dreams come true becoming great successes and others sadly die. The Strip is competitive and one only has to look down the street at night to see this. Each property has to not only keep up with the others, but to also attract and keep their visitors. All of this takes nerve, imagination, and creativity. Just take a good look at any of these structures. There is creativity all around them. The dreams of owners, architects, designers, interior decorators, and employees are all wrapped up into these architectural wonders.
This is the visionaries' site. From the individuals who looked at three miles of desert road and saw a dream, a street like no other - to the present dream weavers who see a different Strip, a prettier one, a bigger one. Sure, some of the dreams died or were replaced, but the point is they tried, and to some extent or for some short period of time, they succeeded. Each of them bucked warnings and laughs, and some even gave their lives to make their dreams come true. Their message to you is the next time you have a vision, a dream, and people tell you you're crazy or it could never be done, come back to this site and visit these people and what they created. Picture a three mile desert road, and see it after the dream weavers arrived - castles, exploding volcanos, sultans, the old west, pirate fights, flamingos, animal habitats, dancing waters, and cities such as New York, Paris and Venice. If they can see a dream and make it reality, so can you!

Update Section - This is for repeat visitors. You can also click on the wording on the top of this page as well.
'I have a new idea about every 21 seconds. It's a talent, a characteristic I have. But an idea is one thing. Making it come alive in three-dimension reality is another'.
- Jay Sarno, creator of Caesars Palace and Circus Circus'What I love the most about this town is the terrific opportunity it presents to those with the imagination and daring to build new must-see properties. Where else could you find a pyramid next to Camelot, next to the Statue of Liberty and Monte Carlo, an Italian lake next to the Roman Empire. Here this madness is okay. Any place else they'd lock you up. The best is yet to come. The next five years will see a renaissance of entertainment here.' - Steve Wynn, February 1, 2000 - creator of Mirage, Treasure Island, Bellagio and Wynn Resort
