Went to Vegas in 77, 78, 80 / 81 (New Years) and 86. It’s all changed now. Back then the old original name Hotels / Casinos were still there.
Happened to be there in 1978 when ventriloquist Edgar Bergen (Charlie McCarthy), Candace Bergen’s father died at Caesar’s Palace. Was staying across the street.
Biggest draw back then was Wayne Newton. Also saw Don Rickles and Dianna Ross. Back then you could get single deck blackjack and card counters weren’t a big problem. You could sneak under the radar.
