Yup. I went once (that’s enough). Most of the attractions associated with those places are over-priced. I was disappointed. I thought they were there to draw you in to gamble; I expected them to be cheap. It was over $35 to ride a gondola through a fake Venice (I didn’t go on it).
oh yeah…..I went only once and (actually, once was more than enough)t….my experience was in 1978, so the Gondola ripoff was after my time there….I noticed that it was easy to be free with money in Vegas when it’s only bright colored little round chips.
everybody kept telling me about how great it was…

In the early 1990s, I was the manager of a chocolate shop for a company based in Las Vegas.
We used to have meetings 3 to 4 times a year in Las Vegas, spending most of our time at the factory in Henderson for training and management seminars, as they called them … from breakfast at 7am till dinnertime, or sometimes 9 or 10pm.
But they put us up in hotels on the strip… so of course we stayed up till all hours in the hotels and casinos.
One year at the Tropicana, one of the older hotels…. But old in Vegas is relative. I think two years at the Mirage, one at the Sands… But you could walk or take free shuttle buses all over the strip.
We got vouchers for dinner, if they weren’t feeding us at the factory, and never had time for expensive attractions, so our time away from the factory was fun.
There are way more fake attractions than what you can see here.
I didn’t get to see the fake circus, fake New York City, or fake Paris… But I saw the real white tigers.
I can’t tell if this is from a movie or what…
makes you think about what folks dealt with 100 years ago , having to
perform their own dentistry for god’s sake,….and don’t get me started on outdoor crappers in the winter
This is Noel Neill, who didn’t mind making a career of playing Lois Lane, unlike George Reeves, who hated being typecast.
She did play some other parts, before and after Lois.
I’m not using a spoiler box cos most people won’t remember her name anyway.
Yet I read on a website that one of her pictures was the 2nd most popular pin-up, behind that famous photo of Betty Grable showing her legs, among GIs in WWII….
Before her Superman days, and before she was even well known.
I can’t seem to find out which photo it was, or I’d post it…. Which seems odd, if that information is true.
Betcha that is one head-shakin’ food-and-water-flingin’ fool! Truly lovable, too.
It’s just possible (to a furriner) that all those fake attractions really are available in Las Vegas. (I think…)

Happy3?
Yes. I would live there.
Good place for a reclusive hermit. 🙂

Only since 1945?
Of course they are, silly!
What kind of war would it be, if not?
I’m sure that there are plenty of US tank crews that wishes that their tank made coffee.
“Let’s play Frisbee!”
Missed him by that much!
…and that’s one of the saucers the tank above uses.

Funny concept of the Golden Age of Hollywood…
50 years long, and only horror-film stars need apply.
BTW that picture of Basil Rathbone looks surprisingly like Nicholas Cage.
I never thought of Cage as appropriate for Sherlock Holmes, but I guess it could have worked.
I’m a bit spoiled now, though, by Benedict Cumberbatch.
I think that picture of Christopher Lee looks more like Nick Cage than ol’ Basil
Funny… I still think Rathbone does.

Jeez I’m hoping it’s just a loose tooth, not a childhood version of Marathon Man.
I can’t tell if this is from a movie or what…

I still think she’s just taking out a loose tooth, not performing dentistry.
ah yes. the precursor to the old string connected to a doorknob trick
Yup. And the sword ans the cigar too!
Yup & yup and the pipe and the saxophone.
Yes, this one I can vouch for.
I’ll post a solution later or tomorrow.
Nah! The real cat is getting ready to jump up on the counter and knock all those things off!
Oops!
Meant to be earlier with
White kitty marks the kitty:
And yes, it’s a picture of a cat… Not an actual cat.
They seem to do that a lot in this game… not that I’ve actually played it.
And here I thought it might had been…
Again, a somewhat blurry puzzle to solve.
thank you!
I differ with everyone here. The cat is
I agree, Liverlips. That’s the one I found, and the most real looking of those revealed above.
You’re right! (I had the same as Susan)
And that means there are two cats… which isn’t fair!
I know on other pages they’ve counted a picture of a butterfly or an elephant as the object…
But I couldn’t find anything online about this one to check my answer against.
OMG!
I think you’re right!
It’s so blurry on my tablet that I took it for a hat….
But now that you say it, I do think it’s a cat!
Thanks!
Argh! You are correct! How I could had missed it? Just goes to show you, sometimes ya make it harder than it needs to be. (BLUSH!)
“I spy, with my little eye, … “
Taking Polaroid pictures.
He’s yelling to the wife and cubs, telling them to hurry up and get out there to pose, before it gets too dark.
She’s looking at the nature photographers ass ends as they flee in terror
Clark Kent and Lois Lane
Does Mme. Tussaud do Lois’s makeup?
She got the part because she had a leg up on the competition.
And some other parts (cough).
This is Noel Neill, who didn’t mind making a career of playing Lois Lane, unlike George Reeves, who hated being typecast.
She did play some other parts, before and after Lois.

number two pinup? hm. maybe that fall along the lines of ‘nobody remembers who came in second’
…
If that’s a crank start he’s in trouble…
I was at the Grand Canyon in 2015. I think he’s still there.
That certainly wouldn’t be me! Heights (and especially edges) tend to weird me out.
you’re not a sole member of that club
Same here.
Me too!
I don’t even like looking at this!
Yet some people complain that you can’t do this any more.
And me!
Looks like he’s put rocks in front of some of the wheels to make sure it doesn’t roll off.
That’s ever so comforting.
seems a reasonable precaution
Nope nope nope!
Fred Gwynne and Yvonne DeCarlo as Herman and Lily Munster
Thank you!
yes , thanks!
Kiki day!
Looks exactly like our late tom-cat Moses – white spot included.
Is there one on the throat, too?
The pupils seem to be dilated differently?
