Caesars Palace, The Forum Shops, The Omnimax. Marquee advertising "Free Covered Parking." Does free parking return, or prices get reduced, with new ownership?

Iron @MikeTyson sparring at Johnny Tocco's Ringside Gym in Las Vegas preparing for his upcoming bout against Frank Bruno Jan. 1989. Gotta love those boxing posters on the wall. Tyson won by TKO in the 5th round.

The massive Hard Rock guitar tower will soon be/is blocking this view from the TI. Would love to see the new views from the guitar when completed.

Another view above the Frontier Hotel 1971. Seems like most properties had tennis courts back then.

Boxing match outside in the parking lot of Caesars Palace 1982. Will boxing in Las Vegas ever be like it was in the 80's and 90's? Easy answer. No.

What did the owner operators of this joint know that present day casino owner operators don't? Value! Boardwalk Casino Home of $1 Min. Tables, the 24HR Surf Buffet, $1.99 shrimp cocktail, and $12.99 for a 20 oz. Prime Rib Dinner 2003.

With all the talk of how high food prices and other fees have become, let's not forget Las Vegas used to be a value destination. Look at those deals at the El Morocco. If they only offered FREE hot chocolate or frozen yogurt again Las Vegas would be hoppin.
