Is all of the "shell" building still there, or only the front entrance part of it? I'm hoping that it's just the motel part in back that's gone, and that the entire shell is still around. But realistically the front is probably endangered too, huh. We were just watching old episodes of the Crime Story tv show, part of which took place in Vegas. Not exactly vintage Vegas, but by the hyper-acclerated skyline evolution processes there, I guess the 80s were practically the stone age. Scenes at La Concha and El Morocco, plus lots of the Landmark and Plaza and Fremont St. I think their investigation HQ is the Sky Ranch motel, which I think is on the Boulder Hwy. -Randy
