Question: When Dan Tanna ruled "VEGA$", where was his apartment/garage located?

Answer: What a great question, Larry. Thanks for sending it in.

The truly scary thing is that not only do I know the answer to this question without having to research it, but I once went to look for any remnants of the building. It's a sickness, I know.

For those of you who aren't familiar, "Vega$" was a late 70's-early 80's private eye drama about Dan Tanna (played by Robert Urich) who solved crimes and wooed the ladies in Las Vegas.

The character was on retainer with The Desert Inn and his apartment/garage (where he parked his cool red 1957 Thunderbird) was supposedly located on Desert Inn property. However, in aerial shots of the building you'll note that it is right next to Circus-Circus, located north of, and across the street from, The Desert Inn.

The low one-story warehouse they used for exterior shots was located just north of Circus-Circus behind what was at the time a bank. It was not part of Circus-Circus or The Desert Inn.

They never actually shot any of the interiors in that warehouse - they just dressed it up and filmed it from the outside.

The building was torn down sometime in the 80's and is now the location (more or less) of a strip mall. It's located at 2780 Las Vegas Blvd. South.

Thanks for taking us back, Larry.
