Date

1970 to 1979

Description

Nine female dancers and one male dancer posing on stage. Female dancers are wearing fringed costumes with feather headdresses. The Aladdin opened on April 1, 1966 and closed on November 25, 1997, and was imploded on 7:30pm, on April 27, 1998, except for the Aladdin Theatre to make way for the construction of an entirely new casino. The new Aladdin was scheduled to reopen on August 17, 2000, at 6:00 p.m. The opening was delayed while the Clark County building inspector completed its fire safety testing. Another delay was caused by last-minute repairs to the casino surveillance system. The new Aladdin finally opened the next day at 7:45 a.m. The casino was sold in bankruptcy on June 20, 2003 to a partnership of Planet Hollywood and Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide. Renovations were carried out in stages, allowing the resort to remain open throughout. The retail space formerly known as "The Desert Passage" was converted into the Hollywood-themed "Miracle Mile Shops" and the theatre formerly known as the "Aladdin Theatre" was converted into "The AXIS". After the casino was renovated, it was reopened as "Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino" on April 17, 2007. Site Name: Aladdin Hotel (Las Vegas, Nev.) Street Address: 3667 South Las Vegas Boulevard

Report on flood in Meadow Valley Wash, March 3rd to 5th inclusive, March 12, 1938

Date

1938-03-12

Description

Summary of the damage from a flood in the Moapa Valley on March 3-5, 1938

Transcribed Notes: Transcribed from handwritten text on pg. 3: "West of the Flood Channel and on west side of Highway except for a few acres west of Highway and East of Channel in Logandale above point where Highway bridge crosses Channel. # 10 acres early vegetables were silted over lightly making them unfit for shipment. About 5-10 acres will need re-leveling. One of the most important aspects of the entire experience, that of the supervisory personnel getting this lesson which could not be learned without just such an object lesson."
