Old Vegas
Las Vegas, NV Postcard info courtesy Allen Sandquist
Old Vegas opened its doors in the 1970s and was a really neat
place to go. The western theme park had many attractions including a mystery
mine, a carousel, a train ride, a small casino (of course!) and a gunfight
every hour! The inside of the fort looked like a town in the Old West.
Unfortunately, the lack of tourists and a fire in the mystery mine forced
the ailing fort to close its doors forever in 1988! Wally's Wagon Wheel
Casino was planned for the location, but the deal never went through.
The building was demolished in 2000 after being vacant for over 10 years.
A residential area is being developed on its location.
