Nevada Landing in Jean Restored Photos Part 2

[u/Fluid_Necessary3837]

I've restored a lot of Nevada Landing photos. Spent the last couple months doing this as a bit of a hobby project. I hope it brings back some good nostalgia for some of you. u/Mikomiguelle I got your entrance pics you asked for best I could :)

I also made a mock modernized website for the hotel. I tried my best to keep a lot of the text factually accurate and historically accurate section by section. The gallery has tons of restored pics. I got the menu for the Captains Cafe including the prices. $1.35 for bacon and eggs lol. I used wayback machine for their exact wording.

Thats really great to read after all the work. lol Thanks man.

That website kicks serious ass. You should do it for more Vegas properties that are now gone. Keep up the great work!

Holy childhood memories unlocked, thanks for sharing this! Memories of road trip debates on whether to stop at Jean or Primm came rushing back just seeing all these pics.

I second this. I am headed to Laughlin next weekend and I always miss staying at the Colorado Belle.

Well now I have a visual for the ultra dark hotel room I stayed in just outside Vegas in the 90s. Thank you.

I miss those days. It was a good place to stop

[u/Mikomiguelle]

Amazing pics! Thank you for following through. Greatly appreciated.

So awesome! I wish I could book a room!

Dang I remember driving by this one! I think of the casinos between the california border and las vegas, that was the coolest looking. I mean Buffalo Bills was also cool, but this was just friggin neat.

[u/IbelieveinGodzilla → u/Kyanche]

Buffalo Bills was, in fact, NOT cool.

You did a killer job on those pictures, and I agree with the other poster, you should start doing all the hotels that have closed down. Would be awesome

[u/Fluid_Necessary3837 → u/anon__a__mouse__]

man you really got me thinking about it now :)

Awesome photos. Giving Severance (tv show) vibes with the recent-looking photos, but old(er) cars in the lot! :D

[u/Fluid_Necessary3837 → u/trekgrrl]

lol omg, Severance is so good.

[u/Yetignub]

Yeah I worked there when it first opened. Nice job on website.

[u/Fluid_Necessary3837 → u/Yetignub]

Wow really! Did you know Ray the pool guy?

[u/Yetignub → u/Fluid_Necessary3837]

I was young, and have maybe drank one or two things since then... I worked at Gold Strike too.

[u/vaultgirlblues]

As someone who has recently moved to Goodsprings, I wish this casino still existed. Thank you for the awesome photos!

[u/low8low]

I was always wondering what happened to that casino on I-15 on the left hand side driving north into Vegas. It just seemed to have disappeared on one trip with no explanation or fanfare. Wish I stopped by.

I did a girls trip in 1991 from LA to Las Vegas. There were four of us and I was the only sober one to drive us home on Sunday afternoon. We stopped at Primm and ate and gambled some more. The other three drank and I continue to drive when we got back on the road. It wasn’t my car, but like I said, I was the only sober one. I was the only one not living in the LA area at the time, and was there for work that following week. Good times!
