This is some interesting travel history:
March 11, 1966 – Interstate 15's first major opening in Las Vegas, with a ceremony at the Tropicana overpass. "Now 4 ½ hours from Los Angeles to Las Vegas." Gus Guiffre on the mic.
The I-15/Tropicana Avenue interchange, a critical gateway to the Las Vegas Strip, officially opened in 1966. This milestone replaced the previous, inadequate roadway infrastructure, supporting the growing city and tourist traffic during the Rat Pack era.
Key details about this development:
Significance: The 1966 opening marked a major advancement in Las Vegas transportation, replacing older routes.
Location: The interchange connects directly to the Las Vegas Strip.
Context: The original 1966 overpass was later replaced due to the city's growth, with a massive, modernized interchange project beginning in 2022 to accommodate 300,000 daily weekend vehicles

When hump day hits, I call in back up: oven fried chicken with a crunchy Melba toast crust. Crispy, comforting, and cheaper than shopping.
Hey Gutters, how do you get over hump day? Food? Wine? A walk? Ignoring people? Spill your midweek survival secret.
