Las Vegas Needs Cocktail Waitreses - Stardust Casino 1980s - Lightly Used Napkin

A reminder of the "good old days" in Las Vegas, Nevada. The design on the napkin matched the marque visible from the Strip.

 

Around 1984 picked up a college friend at Los Angeles Airport and drove nonstop to Las Vegas. Spent the first night in a sleazy strip club in North Las Vegas not leaving to 5AM the next morning. Second evening at the Stardust for a "mostly nude" dinner show. Remember nothing else.

 

Several "business related" trips to Reno and Tahoe followed. One time in Tahoe I was winning -- the waitress kept bringing free cocktails hoping I would loose my edge. Another patron spent all night trying to get a date with her. "No dice" the next morning he had rings under the eyes but she had ditched him before "anything happened".

 

Next time in Vegas was 2009 for a book signing -- did not recognize the place. Stayed out of the casinos - instead went site seeing almost to Utah. Would not go back without a good reason.
