Okay, it's not quite summer yet (in fact, it's so cold and rainy tonight I'm thinking about hot cocoa) but here's something to set the mood -- an amazing set of postcards of oldschool Vegas pools. I'm always amazed at just how different Vegas looked in the early years. And it's not just all the empty space and desert you can see around the edges of the Strip. Everything looks like a motel! It's all so low rise. Too bad they didn't turn up any cards of the Algiers and their kidney-shaped pool. I shall forever regret not getting any decent photos of the Algiers when we stayed there.
