Cnn.com has a great collection of old Vegas photos. Worth a quick look:

Las Vegas: Rare Photos of the Gambling Capital in 1955 - LIFE

Who wears pearls to a roulette table? Does anybody wear a suit to a Vegas show anymore? Ah... the good old days...

Happy 107th Birthday, Las Vegas! On this day in 1905, the city of Las Vegas was founded with an auction of 110 acres of land in present-day downtown.

These are spectacular vintage photos.
In looking at the one of the Tropicana, I'm reminded how that started out as a motel in what was then the middle of the desert. Now look how far it has come. Tropicana went through a renovation recently and is now a 5-star resort.
Vegas, you have come a long way baby since 1955!

Great post. Those are fantastic pics, got a kick out of the sign on the El Morocco proclaiming it was going to be the largest hotel in the world.

Thanks for link. Reminds me of the first time that we went to see Elvis at the Hilton, around 1970 I think. I was wearing a sport shirt and I had to borrow a coat and tie to get in.
