LOL and aren't you glad those days are "pleasant" memories.
akashenk BTW, I see your Westward Ho and raise you the LV youth hostel… a place I stayed in one night almost 30 years ago. Not for the faint of heart. But I was a kid back then and $12/nt on a holiday weekend hit my budget’s sweet spot.
Okay since we've semi hijacked the thread -I've been trumped. I was 32 and a bit old for hostels. Lots of properties have vanished in 40 years but at least in that day I never had a bit of concern about walking that area of the strip. Partly age, partly society change, partly lack of organized crime (say what you want about places like the Stardust but they didn't want THEIR suckers fleeced by anyone but THEM.
