http://westvegas.com/photo_history_of... Tony West's Music. A Photo-History of Old Las Vegas' Early Days from 1905-1975 by Erik Wunstell. My new website InOldLasVegas.com will open in June 2008. In the meantime the preview site can be seen at my WestVegas.com link (above). I am a photographer who has been photographing Las Vegas since 1974. In 1999 I started the EarlyVegas website, but unfortunately had to sell it last July. At one time I was posting the largest, most colorful Old Vegas photos on the Internet. To my regret - my old website has been greatly modified and the historical content has changed and became stagnant. Due to public demand - for me to start posting large, colorized photos - I have decided to create an all new and better website than ever before. I have loads of vintage, old Vegas photos that I've restored and hand-painted with my mouse (for hours on end) in order to bring the past fully back to life. I can honestly say that I am the foremost expert and historian on the 'real history' of Las Vegas and intend to present the full, complete story over the coming months. Please be sure to visit regularly to see this new website's continual growth. This WILL NOT be the corporate version of Las Vegas or the perpetuation of popular myths. Instead, InOldLasVegas.com will show and tell the unseen and unheard tale of one of the most unique destination cities in the entire world. The history of Las Vegas is a story about Design, Architecture, Signage, Advertising and Interior Decoration. It is more a story about Popular American Culture than anything else - since Las Vegas is the Showcase City for evolution in the arts, entertainment and technological fields. You won't find any stories glorifying Bugsy Seigel, the Mafia, Mob or gangsters on this website. Their contribution was nil, over-exaggerated and basically irrelevant to this city's expansion (and I'll tell you why later). Instead - this website will tell the story of the pioneers, entertainment promoters, publicity departments, ad agencies, hotel designers, sign-makers, hospitality workers, photographers, taxi drivers, strippers, burlesque dancers, tango parlor ladies, showgirls and all the thousands of people that actually had the most impact on making Las Vegas what it is today - The Entertainment Capital of the World. I'll show you the days when Las Vegas was just a whistle-stop train station, the 1905 town-lot auction, the arrival of Hoover Dam and its impact, the beginning of Glitter Gulch and the Birth and Growth of the Las Vegas Strip. There will be stories and photos of all the popular casinos and hotels...from Downtown and on the Strip (including): * 1941 El Rancho * 1942 Last Frontier * 1946 Flamingo * 1948 Thunderbird * 1952 Sahara * 1952 Sands * 1955 Royal Nevada * 1955 Dunes * 1955 Riviera * 1957 Tropicana * 1958 Stardust * 1966 Aladdin * 1966 Caesars Palace * 1968 Circus Circus * 1973 MGM Grand along with all the various expansions made to these Hotel-Casinos thru 1975. Believe me. I know the 'true history' of this town and will show and tell you most of all I know and learned over the last 38 years (plus the stories and adventures I heard driving a taxi here from 1999-2006). If you think anyone knows Las Vegas history the way I do - please think again. Casino owners, 90 year old gamblers, life long residents or even history professors and authors see Las Vegas history with a much different perspective. They view the story from the 'top down' instead of from the 'bottom up'...usually with a narrow and slanted view and without an accurate historic observation. I see it from a photographic historian's observational point-of-view and will openly show and tell you what I know. I invite you to come and take a look at the beauty of Las Vegas' past, glory days on my all-new website - InOldLasVegas.com And if you want to see what is happening in New Las Vegas, please check my WestVegas.com website for a complete guide to every hotel show, lounge and nightclub - along with photos of all the new hotels -from Wynn's Encore, the new Aladdin, Palms, Palazzo and all the rest. When there - you can find new photos plus important information on how to plan a better trip...as well as casino maps and my 'Las Vegas Survival Guide' (the things your travel agent, bartender, bellhop or doorman wouldn't know or tell you in a hundred years).

From "The True Story of Alexander The Great DVD by The History Channel" In the year 334 BC, a 20 year old military commander from Northern Greece set out to conquer what was then the known world. His name was King Alexander of Macedon. During the next 12 years, he led 40,000 troops more than 20,000 miles, defeating the most powerful ruler on Earth, King Darius of Persia, and conquering all of Asia. He died of a battle wound at the age of 32, but his legendary conquests have been celebrated and studied for more than 2000 years. Today, we know him as Alexander the Great. Arguably the most brilliant and courageous warrior in recorded history, a man whom many considered not a mere mortal, but a god. The True Story of Alexander the Great. One of conquest, love, hate, revenge and ultimately tragedy... Hosted by Peter Woodward, the program takes viewers to the Greek locations of Alexander's youth: his father King Philip II's palace in Macedonia, the caves where he was tutored by the famous philosopher Aristotle, the battlefields where he fought by his father's side, the amphitheatre where Alexander watched helplessly as Philip was assassinated. Guided by accounts of ancient historians portrayed by actors, and interviews with the world's most respected modern-day Alexander scholars, this journey continues with visits to the actual battlefields in Turkey and Lebanon where Alexander's troops, though heavily outnumbered, emerged victorious. Alexander's signature battle plans and weaponry are examined and demonstrated using re-enactors and state-of-the art computer graphics.
