We know you’re probably already tired of hearing us ramble on about Vegas, but let us share a few links. Whether you’re into retro, lounge, Vegas, Rat Pack cool or not, here we go:
Lounge lizards
Ever heard of Les Baxter or Martin Denny? Me neither, be these guys were king of the “lounge” music genre that so many young people found hip in the ’50s. Check out the Ultra Lounge music collection here.
Deco-ration
We’re nuts for Art Deco architecture and art. Why the hell do you think we live in Ashvegas? Check out some cool vintage posters here.
General vintage
This site has old casino chips, postcards, etc.
Vintage 2005
Want to hear a well-done podcast? Want to hear a well-done podcast on Vegas? Go to this site, Five Hundy After Midnight (it’s a quote from the movie “Swingers”). The guy who does it actually lives in Minnesota, I think, but he mixes his knowledge and love of the town (he says he’s been there some 20 times in the past eight years) with a few music tracks to give you a good show. Check it out.
