Here is another part of Vegas I never knew, the neon signs of west Fremont St pre-Vegas Vicky and Las Vegas Club renovation. The angle captures the Las Vegas Club, Jackpot arcade, the Mint, the horseshoe and the Fremont all stacked on top on one another, visually speaking. As usually, the vivid colors of the signage light up the night sky unlike any other source of lighting. Thanks to @FSELV for sharing it.

E-530: Vegas

 Random Vegas 

60,000 pounds of shrimp are consumed in Vegas every day.  That’s higher than the rest of the United States combined. 

TwitPic of the week 

The caption read “Nothing is the same” and I tried to challenge that but @Vegas_Visual is right. In this week’s winner, taking in 1991, a view from the front of the Mirage looking south and everything in this picture is different now. No more Mirage, Nob Hill to the left is now Casino Royal, next up is Harrah’s back when it had a boat motif. Beyond that is Imperial Palace known today at the LINQ and in the distance, you can still see the Diamond of the Dunes hotel tower. Even the top of the Caesars marquee is different.  But most missed is the Mirage frontage and its dolphin statues. While I am looking forward to the guitar I will miss the volcano
