My recommendation for retro travelers: stay in Old Vegas.Įven though the majority of the oldest hotels are on-strip, because of their location they have been mostly re-imagined for the modern tourist and no longer hold their vintage charm beyond their exterior.Ĭlose to tons of Vintage attractions: a quick ride away from vintage shopping in the Arts District, proximity to the Neon Graveyard, Mob Museum, and classic casinos. Old Vegas/”Downtown”: The original Las Vegas strip, home to many classic casinos and vintage treasures The Strip: the 4 mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard that is roughly between Sahara Avenue and Russell Road. But when left to my own devices, I seek the vintage nooks and crannies full of nostalgic kitsch. These trips are always centered on the strip, a shiny, albeit mostly more expensive tourist zone. I always agree to attend work conferences that most bemoan and gleefully accept bachelorette party invites.
It might surprise you to know, I love Las Vegas.
