Ruins of Santa's Land

You can still see a few buildings standing -- sad ruins of Arizona's Santa's Land, on an otherwise empty stretch of US Hwy 93 south of Hoover Dam. Built in 1937, the small, Christmas-themed collection of gift shops and child amusements went out of business in 1995. In the early 1990s you could still feast on Dasher and Dancer omelettes, Santa Claus burgers, and purchase oil portraits of John Wayne.
