I am working on a project of uploading all my old Las Vegas trip reports (there are somewhere between 200-300 individual days).  I am right now up to November, 2003. These pictures are all from that one trip.  I was kind of surprised when going through the disc these are saved on.  I have been going to Las Vegas so regularly that I have seen all the changes as they happen. But to suddenly look back and see all the changes at once kind of astounded me.

Here are things that either no longer exist, have changed, or were just being built nearly a decade ago.  I have plenty more pictures to share, many of things that no longer exist. Be patient and you shall see them all as I get further into this project.

Aladdin: now Planet Hollywood

Barbary Coast: Became Bill’s (stupid name) is now Cromwell (I’ll allow it)

Binions Horseshoe: No longer featuring Horseshoe

Bourbon Street:  Purchased by Harrahs, intended to be part of Harrahs World, but ended up being demolished.

Caesars Forum Shops Entrance:

Fitzgeralds:  Now The D (that is such a stupid name)

Key Largo:  I believe this was supposed to be high rise condos and instead is now nothing.

Lady Luck:  Sat empty for yearssssssssssss.  Finally reopened as Downtown Grand.

Remember when Wynn was being built?  I had these pictures saved with the name “Le Reve”, as that was what it was going to be called at that time.  Later on, it was changed to Wynn.
