Oh exterior theming, how we love, and in some cases, miss thee.  I get why Imperial Palace needed remodeled; I think we can all agree on that.  Would it have been cooler if they kept the theme?  I submit the answer to almost always be yes.  Logically I’ve accepted and celebrate what they did to her.  But Harrah’s detheming from riverboat to mardi gras theme hardly requires the loss of the riverboat theme.  Oh well.  We have photography, shared this week by @las_when so we can fondly recall yesteryear while not being shackled to it when progress and evolution is required.

It challenges the Mint for the place in my heart that determines my favorite things from Vegas history.  The Dunes hotel casino and the Oasis Casino extension to the corner of Las Vegas Blvd and Flamingo Rd, both captures in their full lit up glory.  I often wonder if either of the projects would hold the same affinity to me if I’d had the opportunity to actually experience either of them in person.  That’s part of the magic of Vegas, where Fear of Missing Out is a key component to encouraging frequent return trips.  The photo, shared by @VitalVegas but taken by Larry Hanna via Las Vegas Pictorial History Facebook Group, may have the definitive photograph capturing this moment in the Dunes history, in all its glory
