I worked at Mercury, Nv back in the 60s. Went to Vagas many times. My best memories are of The Mint, where I actually won 100 silver dollars. I still have a few of them. And there was the Fronteer, remember Howdy Partners...
If u have access to wheels and a day, go to the Hoover Dam, Death Valley, Mt Charleston, and the long gone Ash Meadows...
