KLAS-TV has changed over its 70 years, and so has the thing Las Vegas is known for worldwide, the Las Vegas Strip. However, to create the Strip that we all know today it had to get rid of the old one.
Originally people thought Circus Circus or Excalibur would be next but it seems like Tropicana made it to the chopping block first. I believe circus circus will be around for a long time now
@@emvvehicles_8 Excalibur is owned by Vici Properties, with operations in the hands of MGM Resorts. So for Bally's to buy them out would be next to impossible.
Hopefully so my Uncle's Good Friend Jay Sarno Built it !! My Favorite Hotel hope it's around Forever !! Met a Cool Girl that used to work in the Auction there many years ago !! loved Tonya the Elephant and the Acts going on !!
The El Rancho that was imploded in 2000 is not the same El Rancho Vegas resort that was the first resort on Highway 91. El Rancho Vegas opened in 1941 and burned down in 1960, it was located on the southern portion of the Las Vegas Festival Grounds. The El Rancho that was imploded in 2000 was across the street where Fontainebleau is opening.
There's still some downtown: for example, the El Cortez. But sadly, if people wanted to stay in old hotels, then there'd be old hotels in Vegas. People want fancy, high-tech, modern luxury hotels, so that's what they get.
