BACK TO THE '80s — Before the World Changed // Retro Synthwave • Chillwave • Warm Memory Mix

This iconic photograph captures the vibrant, sun-drenched landscape of the Las Vegas Strip during its golden vintage era, around the late 1970s to 1980s. Standing proudly at the center of the frame is the majestic, onion-domed neon sign of the legendary Dunes Hotel and Casino.

Opened on May 23, 1955, as the tenth resort on the Strip, the Arabian Nights-themed property was a symbol of mid-century desert luxury and a playground for high-rollers and world-class entertainers. Framed by the sweeping Spring Mountains in the distance, the bustling street view features classic vintage sedans and the iconic green "Strip" transit bus cruising down the wide asphalt, evoking a deep sense of retro Americana.

In October 1993, decades of classic Vegas history dissolved into dust when the aging Dunes was demolished in a highly publicized, spectacular implosion to pave the way for the modern mega-resort era. Today, the exact footprint where the Dunes once stood is occupied by the world-famous luxury Bellagio Hotel & Casino.

Specifically, the iconic Bellagio Fountains and its massive 8-acre artificial lake now sit directly over the ground where the historic Dunes tower and its towering neon sign once welcomed travelers to Sin City.
