NOT ENOUGH LYSOL IN THE WORLD

JAYNE OPENED ON STAGE BUT DID MOST OF HER SHOW IN THE AUDIENCE

WHEN IT WAS A VALUE. I HAVE ZERO DESIRE TO RETURN

This photo was taken around 1960. My first visit was 1969. I made many after that original trip. I loved the Desert Inn and The Sands. Both were dress up casinos in the day. Fast forward to the present and it’s chaos of punks running through casinos with their beer in tow, loud, no manners, rooms that are a rip off, restaurants that charge outlandish prices. Last visit in 2019 was very disappointing. Nothing remained of the great days other than Piero’s restaurant off the strip. The loud annoying tourists haven’t found this old haunt yet.
