Thrifty Acres - Vintage Vegas Postcard

Hello! In yesterday's post I discussed the purchase of vintage postcards from a local thrift store. Among the many I brought home was this gem - Vegas from the mid-1970's.

The Las Vegas Marina Hotel and Casino:

 A close-up at the meal prices on the sign:

Shrimp cocktail for 49c sounds good to me! 

If you wanted to stay near the airport, then you had the Airport Marina Hotel:

How about a close-up of that couple on the left?



I'm sure that at the time they personified 70's sophistication, but now they call to mind those syndicated murder mystery shows that my dad watches on WGN. When I watch them with him I love to laugh at how bad the fashions and hairstyles look to me now.

I've not been to Las Vegas, so I don't know if either hotel still exists today - or if so, if they've been remodeled to reflect current tastes. 

And as for Mr. and Mrs. Sophistication, I hope that they've moved on from 70's fashions as well!
