Question of the Day - 02 September 2025

Would be nice or interseting to read Q of day from the 80's and 90's or some that got Las Vegas Advisors interest peaked

I would love to go back all the way to see the great stories and evolution/history

My friend and I shared the cost of an LVA subscription in 1988 or '89.  We used her name and address for the subscription, she'd read it and then pass it along to me at the place where we both worked.  She had seen an issue lying on a slot machine at either the Sands or the DI, how we first learned of it.  I may still have one around my house, but good luck to me on finding it.

Have been reading LVA since the beginning. Would love to see the old back issues again.

It wouldn't hurt if you have the time.

It would be fun to read about the events and goings on from that period of time. Especially with griping of today.

Please make all of them available, that would be great

I vote yes on the back issues. It could be shared with other sites if you wanted to get wider exposure for the LVA, especially the vintage vegas types. Might lead to more subscribers.

Having first visited LV in 2003 and being a subscriber since then, I'd love to be able to look at issues prior to our first visit.

Especially the January issues where you list all the changes to Las Vegas in the preceding year.  

I would very much enjoy electronic access to PDF’s of LVA’s from 1984 forward - very much!

WOULD LOVE THAT

I’d love em. 

I think I started in 1993. Might be fun to pick out a few issues that highlight the old days, no need for all of them

You say you have not have any requests for this.   Are you sure? I have posted Questions to you several times and not had an acknowledgement

The Idea of doing the January issue of each year since it highlights the prior year should be a priority and as resources permit work back from 1999

Yes, please scan in and preserve all of the back issues.  Digital storage is cheap (relatively).  Hopefully, they will become part of the internet archive (https://archive.org/). LVA is a great startinf source for researching Las Vegas.

I would love to see the LVAs from 26 to 41 years ago.  I don't remember exactly when I became a member, but I think it was over 25 years ago.

YES! I would love that. Seeing all the things that I did ( and didn’t do, lol) back in the late ‘80’s forward would be great. I’m so old now I can’t remember half the stuff we did back then so it would be a nice walk down my gone memory lane.

You're probably the most authentic recording of Vegas history. I turned 21 in 1987, which was the first time I came to Vegas. I found a YouTube video "tour" of the strip from that year, and would love to read about what I probably missed because I wasn't a subscriber!

Yes I would love to see it. But know it's alot of time and effort on your part. Maybe just the January ones from each year would be nice.

I live in the past

I'd love to be able to access the issues from the mid to late 80s when I turned 21, just to see the prices of things back then. 

Cool if you have the time and dollars to accomplish it. Not cool if you raise the rates to do it. 

Agreed, I would love to read the ones from 1993 and up. That's when we first started to visit Las Vegas and follow LVA and read Jean Scott and Bob Dancer. 

No.  Can not see me going back 26 plus years.  Clearly I'm the odd may out. 

Would you share a copy of issue one, before starting the whole project. 

love to see it.

Someday sooner than later I’ll be gone, you’ll be gone, and LVA will be gone. And all those old issues may well be gone too soon- in a fire or other catastrophic event, or maybe even just disposed of in the distant future by whoever succeeds us. Then all that history will be lost forever. Don’t let that happen, please. Do it soon, preserve all that great history for future generations. 

History rules!

I would love to see the oldest LVA issues!

We are from Germany and visit LV regularly since 1987. Would love to have some history!

It's been very interesting reading about the downturn in visitation to LV casinos.  I believe the greed that LV casino management has shown (along with the reduction in foreign visitors because of the current political climate and uncertain economic future) is a major reason why people are reluctant to travel to Vegas.  However, what is happening in the casinos around the country? Has visitation dropped off as much as Vegas?  What about visitation to the Indian casinos?   

Good question 

Absolutely scan them in to PDF for subscribers to read for the reasons others have put forth below.  Also, they might be of value to future historians.  

Yes please!!

All for scanning and making available all the past issues, for the history of all of it...the prices, the ups and downs of casinos, the Acts that played in Vegas and the good a d not so good, that is Vegas. I'd have all of it for paid members only. 

Great idea!  I’d love to read the old Las Vegas Advisor’s.  Count me in!

I would enjoy having the opportunity to see older issues.

Count me in

Add me to the list of subscribers that would welcome PDFs of all the older issues of LVA.  

...that an issue from 1995 would have the same "it's not like it used to be" griping about 1965 that we have now about 1995.  That said, I'd love to read about it.

I'm a believer that one of the great values of our electronic age is the relative ease to both store and make accessible material such as this.  The Advisor provides a historical record from a unique and relatable perspective, and I certainly believe it is worth the effort to convert it to PDF.  Thanks for considering it.

I would be interested in reading the old issues online. I am a member going back into the 80's.

I think it would be great to do even one per year to see how things changed over that period.

if you got 'em.
