Side stage at Royal Nevada, Las Vegas, 1955 – by Loomis Dean.
Beyond the showgirls are fountains of “The Dancing Waters,” the first water show in Las Vegas, a distant forerunner of the Bellagio fountains. The system of pipes, motors, jets, and a light show, was created in West Germany for an Industrial Exhibition, then traveled the U.S. In Las Vegas it was the feature attraction at Royal Nevada in ’55-56. The live entertainment got second-billing to the fountain.
After Royal Nevada it went to the Desert Inn, and traveled So Cal. After another run in Las Vegas at Circus Circus in ’69, it became a permanent fixture at Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim CA.

“Sailing stones” left tracks as they drifted across Racetrack Playa in Death Valley, California, 1952.

LIFE’s 1952 story on the Racetrack Playa described this photo as being from a “ghost experiment,” guessing that an amateur scientist had tied up the rock to keep it from moving, but over time the rope had eventually rotted away.
