Fremont Street Redux
Last night I took both daughters and one boyfriend down to Fremont Street for one more look at the Summer of '69. The elder daughter had never seen the place, that she could remember (she had, really) and she was tremendously impressed with the show. I said the last time how the shows this summer were the best they've ever presented. One reason is the new, higher definition screen, of course. Also, I actually paid attention to the show about Don McClean's American Pie this time, and I'm impressed with the amount of research and work that went into the production. That particular show will still be playing for a couple of weeks yet, I believe. You can check the schedule on the experience site, under the title of this post.
The picture above is of my daughter Kate watching the show. Here below is a sample taken from the middle of the production. The images are of actual menu pages from Las Vegas restaurants of the 1960s. The re
solution is better than my cell phone picture would indicate. You can actually read the selections. The original Las Vegas is coming back, and if we keep getting productions like this summer's "Summer of '69 Returns," it will come back even better and faster. Kudos to the Experience for a great production!Labels: Vegas Life
