Sky Ranch Motel (2009 Fremont St) opened in 1955. They had a different sign for about a year. The first I've seen of the current sign is a blurry film from Dec. 1956. https://t.co/f5OimJdykZ https://t.co/ziRz4V2bR4 — Vintage Las Vegas (@summacorp) Nov 28, 2023

@clickticious @marquel65 @JacobsVegasLife As late as Jan. 1946 it was called "Hotel Wilkerson." I'd like to see the date of that LA Times story. Wilkerson’s son says his father was the one who changed the name to the Flamingo. His 2 books (2000 & 2018) are good but specifics on that detail are lacking. — Vintage Las Vegas (@summacorp) Nov 28, 2023

@grimacemcdonal1 @VitalVegas @LasVegasLocally The photographer took this picture because $3M was newsworthy high in 55. That property is not fully developed today, it’s vacant. https://t.co/McAST5r68d — Vintage Las Vegas (@summacorp) Nov 27, 2023

@VitalVegas “and local media went wild with breathlessly parroting the news” Not the first, nor the last — Vintage Las Vegas (@summacorp) Nov 22, 2023

@VegasHonestly Hold up, this has been on Youtube for ages (& my own playlist for almost as long) –– did you just add a new Youtube-y thumbnail? Always appreciated the Main Street section, hard to find that area in film/photo. Used a clip on IG a while ago https://t.co/DHDcFk79zg — Vintage Las Vegas (@summacorp) Nov 8, 2023

Regency Towers, opened 50 years ago, was the first residential high-rise in Las Vegas. Wonder World built the tower, defaulted; Irwin Molasky bought it in the mid 70s. https://t.co/VrlgcOQyLR — Vintage Las Vegas (@summacorp) Nov 6, 2023
