This wild bird's-eye view of Sin City was drawn by Henry Hinton and published by Postermap Inc. in Los Angeles. It extends from "The Strip" north to Fremont Street and fills Las Vegas Boulevard with so many illustrations that the road isn't visible! Locates scores of casinos including the Tropicana, Dunes, Frontier and Riviera. A host of characters are mixed into the busy composition as well including Julius Caesar at Caesar's Palace, a pair of astronauts at Stardust, and a cowboy at the Pioneer Club. An entertaining and whimsical look at the city prior to big business assuming control of the larger casinos.
