This black-and-white film contains outtakes from a documentary entitled “Las Vegas: Frontier Town of Two Centuries“. This material was shot in 1953, marking a significant moment in Las Vegas history. This footage showcases key elements that contributed to Las Vegas’ post-World War II growth, including its casino industry, legalized gambling, hotels, airport, and nearby ranches. The video includes footage of the El Rancho Hotel and Casino, which opened in 1941 and was the first resort on the Las Vegas Strip. It also shows the McCarran International Airport, built in 1948. Furthermore, the film features footage from Tule Springs, a dude ranch that attracted visitors who wanted to establish residency in Nevada for six weeks to take advantage of the state’s liberalized divorce laws. The film also showcases the newly-opened Desert Inn and Flamingo hotels, which have remained famous landmarks on the Strip to this day.
