Description
An exterior view of the Sands Hotel and marquee. The marquee advertises "Jack Entratter presents Will Mastin Trio starring Sammy Davis Jr", "Augie and Margot", "Antonio Morelli and his Music", "Yacoubian & Co.", "Morry King & Violins", "Dave Burton", and the "Erne Stewart Trio". A sign for the Kit Carson Motel is visible in the background. The Sands Hotel and Casino was a historic hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada, United States, that operated from 1952 to 1996. Designed by the architect Wayne McAllister, with a prominent 56-foot (17 m) high sign, the Sands was the seventh resort to open on the Strip. The hotel was opened on December 15, 1952 as a casino with 200 rooms, and was established less than three months after the opening of another notable landmark, Sahara Hotel and Casino. The hotel rooms were divided into four two-story motel wings, each with fifty rooms, and named after famous race tracks. The last dice in the casino was rolled by Bob Stupak just after 6pm on June 30, 1996. On November 26 of that year, it was finally imploded and demolished. Today, The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino stands where the Sands once stood. The property is located at 3355 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109.

The Tally Ho buildings and golf course: photographic film

Archival Collection
Description
Identified as a view of the Tally Ho buildings and golf course, but it is unclear if this is the correct location. Part of a pond is visible in the background. Frenchman Mountain (commonly referred to as Sunrise Mountain) is visible in the background. For another view see Source ID 0220_0011, Digital ID pho026245. Toy manufacturer Edwin S. Lowe originally opened the 450-room Tally Ho hotel on the property in 1963. The Tally Ho was the only major hotel in Nevada to not include a casino. Milton Prell purchased the hotel in January 1966 and began an extensive $3 million renovation of the property before reopening it as the Aladdin on April 1, 1966. A 19-story hotel tower was added in 1972. After various ownership changes, the Aladdin was closed in 1997 and demolished the following year to make room for a new resort that would also be named Aladdin. The new Aladdin resort opened in August 2000, but suffered financial difficulties and was eventually purchased in 2003 by a partnership of Planet Hollywood and Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, which renamed it as Planet Hollywood in 2007. The property is located at 3667 South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109.
