For the Locals part 2... Huntsridge Theather, 1960 Construction began with a ground breaking announcement in the Las Vegas Review Journal on April 6, 1944. The theater opened on October 10, 1944. It was operated by the Commonwealth Theater Company of Las Vegas, and later the Huntridge Theater Company of Las Vegas. Both companies were headed by Thomas Oakey of Las Vegas. The Huntridge Theater Company, which took ownership in 1951, was partially owned by actresses Loretta Youn...g and Irene Dunne. The theater was built on land which had been owned by international business magnate Leigh S. J. Hunt, before he left it to his son Henry Leigh Hunt in 1933. The Huntridge Theater and the surrounding Huntridge subdivision are named after the Hunt family. The theater is said to have been the first non-segregated theater in Las Vegas. The theater was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. On July 28, 1995, the punk rock group Circle Jerks were to perform at the theater. Several hours before they were to arrive, the roof of the theater collapsed. There were no serious injuries. Lead singer Keith Morris would later comment, "As soon as we got there, we were told that the roof had collapsed and the show was canceled. We didn't have anywhere else to go, so we just set up our equipment in the parking lot and played for the 30 or 40 people who were still there." @huntridgetheater #lasvegas #vegas #huntridgetheater #huntridge #702 #nevada #oldschool #oldschoolvegas #vintagevegas #cityoflasvegas #movies #movietheater

#OnThisDay in 1968 Circus Circus Las Vegas Hotel & Casino opened. Although no longer part of the frontage, Circus Circus opened with an acre of water fountains... in the front of the 'Big Top', which is still the largest permanent big top in the world at 90ft tall. Costing $15 million, it was designed for adults as a combined casino and amusement center - the hotel towers were only added later; the first in 1972. See if you can spot in some of the photos cocktail waitresses in majorette outfits, blackjack dealers in polka-dot shirts and a slide from the midway to the gaming floor. Here are a few photos of construction and the opening from our archives...and no photos of the famous Lucky The Clown marquee at the entrance as that was added in 1976!
