On those days when you miss your mom the most, as though your memories are sharp enough to slice through skin and bone, remember how she loved you.

Remember how she loved you and do that, for yourself.

In her name, in her honor.

Love yourself, as she loved you.

She would want that.

On those days when you miss her the most, love yourself harder.

Do you know the history of the land where Fontainebleau Hotel now sits?

In the heart of the iconic Las Vegas Strip, where the city’s glittering lights tell tales of glamour and grandeur, there once stood the legendary El Rancho. 🌟🎰 Incepted in 1941, this oasis of opulence was the first-ever resort and casino on the Strip, setting the stage for the dazzling entertainment capital we know today. 🎭🎲

Before the Fontainebleau, the property underwent various changes and developments. After the demise of the original El Rancho, the location saw the rise and fall of several projects. Notably, the Thunderbird Hotel and Casino took its place, bringing with it a new era of entertainment and hospitality to the Las Vegas Strip. The Thunderbird was a prominent establishment during the 1950s, hosting glamorous shows and attracting a diverse crowd seeking the thrill of the Strip.

However, the evolution didn’t stop there. The Thunderbird eventually gave way to the Silverbird Hotel and Casino in the 1970s. The Silverbird brought its own unique charm to the Strip, featuring modern architecture and contemporary entertainment. As time marched on, the property changed hands and underwent further renovations.

Ultimately, the Fontainebleau emerged on the scene as the next chapter in the story of this iconic Las Vegas location. The Fontainebleau, with its modern design and luxurious amenities, now stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of transformation and reinvention that characterizes the Las Vegas Strip. The property’s journey from El Rancho to Fontainebleau reflects the ever-changing landscape of Las Vegas, where each era leaves its mark on the vibrant history of this legendary entertainment destination. 🌟🏰

The 1982 Caesars Palace Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on September 25, 1982 in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was the sixteenth and final race of the 1982 FIA Formula One World Championship, and the second and last F1 race to be held in Caesars Palace.

Alboreto scored Tyrrell’s first victory since the 1978 Monaco Grand Prix, becoming the eleventh different winning driver of 1982 while Tyrrell became the seventh different winning constructor. John Watson finished second in a McLaren-Ford, with Eddie Cheever third in a Ligier-Matra. Keke Rosberg finished fifth in his Williams-Ford to secure the Drivers’ Championship, with Ferrari taking the Constructors’ Championship despite neither car finishing in the top six.

1992: The Luxor was developed by Circus Circus Enterprises at a cost of $375 million. Construction began on April 21, 1992, and the resort opened on October 15, 1993, with 2,526 rooms. A renovation and expansion project, costing $300 million, took place from 1996 to 1997. The project included the addition of two 22-story hotel towers, as well as Nevada’s first 3D IMAX theater. The Egyptian theme was scaled back as well, including the removal of an indoor Nile River ride.

MGM acquired the Luxor in 2005. The company launched a $300 million renovation two years later, further scaling back on the Egyptian theme while adding new restaurants and clubs. An esports arena was added in 2018, the first to open on the Strip. The Luxor has hosted various entertainers, including comedian Carrot Top, the Blue Man Group, and magician Criss Angel.

Who remembers?? Odyssey Records, 1600 Las Vegas Blvd S – 2002. Photo by Julio López Saguar.

This record store (1973-2004) occupied part of a strip mall built by Merv Adelson in the late 50s for Market Town Builders & Home Supply.

Prior to the mall this was the site of one of the earliest motels in Las Vegas, the States Auto Camp (late 20s-30s) and Outpost Motel (40s-50s).

Commissioned in the mid-’50s for a site on a spectacular peak atop Mulholland Drive, Richard Neutra’s Singleton House is one of the most elaborate residential projects of his career.

The iconic California property has been altered in subsequent updates, but this vintage photo by Julius Shulman (1958-ish) shows the house in its original state of Modernist beauty.

1957: With vast window-walls framing ever-changing views of the Pacific Ocean, Richard Neutra’s 1957 Wise House was proof that, for Neutra, architecture was as much about creating memorable experiences as about enduring comforts. The satisfaction of “thrilling occurrence,” he wrote in a 1954 essay, was to be more highly prized than “humdrum steadiness.”

What an investment! 💰

If you don’t have kindness, I’m not impressed.

An icon of American Modernism with Case Study House 20B - the Bailey House. Designed by architect Pierre Koenig in 1958 the 1250 sq ft steel-framed home is now listed on the US Register of Historic Places and has been declared a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.

In 2016, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. (Photo: Ezra Stoller)

Photo #1: The *original* McCarran Field opened in 1941 in North Las Vegas. These stone pillars were built for that airport, then moved to the new site in 1948. The airport’s gateway was moved to Paradise Rd in the 60s, but these two pillars still stand on Las Vegas Blvd South near the “Welcome” sign.

Today’s LAS Airport began as Alamo Field in 1942. Clark County bought the site and moved the original McCarran Field here in ‘48.

Nov. 27, 1966 is the day Howard Hughes pulled into town and was carried to the top of Desert Inn where he stayed four years.

Hughes bought the Desert Inn lease (not the hotel, just the operating lease) and began a buying spree that lasted until 1970. Here’s what he got:

Desert Inn • Sands • Castaways • Frontier • Silver Slipper • Landmark • Spring Mountain Ranch and a couple homes for his wife to move into (she didn’t) • KLAS-TV • Alamo Airport (part of McCarran), Air West (regional airline), and North Las Vegas Air Terminal • A motel, the former Stardust Drive-In, the former El Rancho Vegas property, and numerous undeveloped Strip parcels.

Note: Summerlin was not purchased by Hughes in the 60s. The acreage was acquired through a swap with the US Dept. of Interior in the early 50s and developed by Hughes’ heirs in the 80s.

An architectural icon with the Kaufmann Desert House. Edgar J. Kaufmann (who hired Frank Lloyd Wright to design Fallingwater 10 years earlier) asked architect Richard Neutra in 1946 to build him a home in the desert. Located in Palm Springs, California house had fallen in to bad state of disrepair by the mid 1990’s and the new owner called upon the services of the firm of Marmol Radziner who completely restored the home.
