Las Vegas Strip, August 1971

Adjacent to the Sands was the Carousel Motel, a motel-store property and perhaps the ugliest structure on the Strip. For over 50 years it was positioned out of most tourist photos. 

Timeline.

'42: Opened as Park Lane Motel, an 8-unit auto court, by Theodore "Ted" Couch.

'49: A store is built in front of Park Lane.

'53: Carousel Motel, 44-units, and storefront Merry-Go-Round bar open on the south side of the property. Park Lane appears to be integrated into the Carousel Motel property. Possible owner George W. Frisby.

'68: Wishing Well Chapel operates in the former Merry-Go-Round storefront.

'70s: The Park Lane units are demolished circa '70-'71. A man is electrocuted swimming in the pool in the early 70s.

'73: Renamed El Cuardo Motel. Owner Staney Korman, Anzwool Inc, is denied permission to build a high rise on the site.

'74: Renamed Sand Dunes Motel, new owner Howard Hughes, Summa Corp. (Summa may have sold the property to Las Vegas Sands Corp. in the late 80s.)

'90: Sand Dunes Motel is closed and soon demolished. Most of the property is fenced off and used for storage by Las Vegas Sands Corp. The storefronts remain.

2004: The storefronts are demolished. The property is redeveloped as part of the Palazzo, the southernmost point of its driveway.
