the south end of the Las Vegas Strip, making it the first resort to be seen by motor tourists arriving from California. It sat alone at the time, surrounded by desert and away from the other resorts on the Strip. Gaming executives initially predicted that the Hacienda would struggle due to its location, although the resort prospered for many years. Its remote location ensured that most guests stayed on the property rather than visiting other resorts. The Hacienda was also popular because of its location near the McCarran International Airport, although the resort never had the same success as other Strip properties such as the Dunes and the Sands. Because it lacked the same elegance as other resorts on the Strip, the Hacienda received the negative nickname "Hayseed Heaven".

One plane included a piano bar with actor Dick Winslow, who provided musical entertainment during the ride. The flights also offered champagne, and featured young women modeling lingerie for the passengers, who were mostly men. By the end of 1960, the Hacienda
