Part 1 - January 1962
0:20 Las Vegas Playground was a Playboy-style Vegas mag. I think this was the only issue.
0:47 Sans Souci Hotel, sign damaged by storm
5:11 Wee Kirk O’ The Heather Chapel, LV Blvd (still in business)
5:46 La Concha Motel
Part 2 - March 1964
6:57 LV Strip heading N. Interesting to see people sitting at bus stops throughout this portion
7:16 construction of Dunes hotel tower
9:04 Still on LV Blvd, passing Sahara Ave into the City of Las Vegas proper. The camera usually stops at this point. Dog on a carriage advertising Vegasland, an amusement park that never opened. The camera starts and stops for a few blocks, great shots of mostly long-gone motels and chapels. Same thing in the '65 section.
12:49 Dunes golf course is the site of today’s T-Mobile Arena, Park MGM, Aria, Vdara, Bellagio, etc
14:17 residential – no idea where this is, but I’d love to know
Part 3 - April 1965
17:35 LV Strip headed N again, with Dunes tower open at this point. Some of the motel signs have changed already since 64.
18:55 Sands tower construction (demolished 1996)
20:35 Wee Kirk again
20:42 pool at Stardust
