Wow. WOW. Great work. (The orthographic projection varies?)
The intersection of Las Vegas Blvd and Tropicana is one block north. It's just above the upper margin. The crossing street you see is just access to the casinos.
It is pre-NY-NY, but the hotels in this picture are all still there. The upper left is Excalibur. Excalibur was built to try to get in family visitors, and it looks like something from D and D. The hotel on the upper right is Tropicana, and the hotel in the lower left IS a hotel; it's the Luxor.
MGM and NYNY are one notch north. But you're also right about the timing. The terraserver images are 1992, which is a century in Las Vegas years.
I thought the Luxor would give it away quickly. It's a pyramid. That's why it shows a reflection, but you'll notice it also has four triangles with slightly different reflections, and four "edges". At the point of the pyramid is a light beacon. In front, which here is the right-hand side of the pyramid, is a Sphinx welcoming you to the building. You can see the arms stretching out to the right.
Pretty amazing work there, I don't even understand what you did to get the result!
