Vintage Photos from the Golden Age of Las Vegas

The band Queen is pictured enjoying some downtime in Las Vegas during their U.S. tour in 1977. Slot machines, neon, and casinos were as much a part of the Vegas experience for rockstars as they were for tourists.

Fun fact: by the late 1970s, slot machines were evolving quickly, with electronic models beginning to replace the classic mechanical ones. Vegas was already cementing its place as both the entertainment capital of the world and a playground for global superstars.
