James Bond Slept Here

Hotel Sahara
Las Vegas, NV
Mailed in 1956

This room was probably a little ahead of its time, as when I first saw this postcard, I thought it was from 1960's. But it was actually mailed in 1956. Anyhow, this looks like it could have come from a James Bond movie in 1960's. This is a curious mixture of mid-century modern and Middle Eastern decor. You could also see that this wasn't a low-end room with flower arrangements virtually everywhere and that chandelier full of fake white candles (which would have looked kitschy today.) Oh, and mirrored walls -- almost everything to the right of the blue low-back seats was a reflection of the area behind the photographer.
