WELCOME TO LEAVING LAS VEGAS! Updated 10-12-09
Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada. Sin City. No matter what you call it, this city's synonymous with the ultimate in nightlife, gambling in the billions, amazing shows and productions, and extreme architecture and buildings. But before all the Cirque shows, before the ultra clubs and lounges, before the towering condos and high rises, before the congested traffic and massive high definition and LCD signs and screens, Las Vegas was a city of dreams and innovation, simple neon and classic glitz, mobsters and legends.
Reminders of this amazing and infamous past still dot the Las Vegas valley, some having thankfully been restored and reused, while others lay decaying and forgotten, soon to be only a memory in the minds of those who even care to remember. Help to preserve the memories and promote the preservation of these historic hotels, casinos, and architectural works of art; those sites and buildings that have contributed to the growth of this great city and given it such a wonderfully rich history.

Hey everyone! Yes, we're still alive and kicking, which is more than we can say for the economy on the strip! With so many of these new mega resorts on hold, everything's pretty stagnant and nothing's really in danger of "Leaving LV" at the moment. Thanks so much for all the kind and concerned emails, though! We're reinventing ourselves at the moment and plan to be back in the swing of things by the new year. As for updates, please PLEASE add us on FACEBOOK, as we update there more often. Also, please visit our friends at http://classiclasvegas.squarespace.com/ and http://veryvintagevegas.com/ for regular updates on what's happening in historic and artful Las Vegas! There are a couple of books in preliminary stages, as well! Thank you all for your wonderful support and friendship, and I hope you've enjoyed the work I've put into documenting these lost treasures. We'll be back...
In loving memory.

Our site is dedicated to preserving and documenting the memories as well as supporting the preservation of Las Vegas' past. We in no way condemn progress and change, and support our growing and ever-evolving valley, and those who work to keep this a spectacular city to live in.
