TwitPic of the week The year is 1985 and featured in this picture is the Dunes in all her glory including the satellite casino named the Oasis. Beyond being a snapshot in time of a property I adore, shared by @Summacorp what captivates my imagination is virtually all this landscape has been almost completely reimagined over the next 20 years. We all know Bellagio is in the place Dunes used to be but other than the Jocky Club, everything is different. The entire southwest of the real estate. It’s missing Bellagio, Cosmopolitan, all of CityCenter, Park MGM, NYNY, Excalibur, Luxor and Mandalay Bay. Ironically almost everything around it is the same, although updated like Barbary is now Cromwell and Flamingo is no longer a Hilton.
