Shot on 8mm film in 1957, this vintage home movie captures the Thunderbird Hotel sign in Las Vegas, Nevada. The iconic neon sign features a large eagle sculpture and displays an advertisement for 'The China Doll' show. Classic mid-century cars are parked in front of the motel-style building, with the footage showing natural film grain, slight blurriness, and a nostalgic, sun-drenched atmosphere typical of 1950s Americana. The clip offers authentic archival footage of a famous Las Vegas landmark during the era of classic roadside attractions.
