Out walking down Las Vegas Blvd. early this morning and, without realizing it, I was suddenly back in the 60’s… ‘Vegas the way it used to be before the Bigness and Fanciness covered it up: still a bit shabby, always a bit worn around the edges and real tacky.

Old- style Motels and strange shops...

Unexpected signs in unexpected places…

The ever-present Wedding Chapels, with “such a deal” and their insinuations of sexual fantasies to follow…

And the occasional strangeness, sometimes intentional, oft times not…

(OK, maybe the last one isn’t the 60’s… BUT who could resist… Denny’s is the Perfect Setting for Your Perfect Wedding??? Not even in Las Vegas!!!!!)
