There was the Ice Palace in Commercial Center where you could ice skate all day.īut my favorite way to spend a Saturday afternoon was at the movies. We could go to the Lake in the summer to escape the heat. We could go to Mt Charleston in the winter and play in the snow or in the summer to escape the heat.
Back then, as many will, no doubt attest to, there was not much for kids to do. Growing up in Las Vegas in the late 1960s and early 1970s was very different from growing up there today.
