The Ice Palace was an old ice skating rink in a shopping center located on the south side of East Charleston (possibly East Sahara - it's been a long time & I haven't lived in Vegas since 1971) between Maryland Parkway & Eastern. If I recall correctly, there were some other big shows there in 1969, including Led Zeppelin.
Thanks gmt
At least now I can go to the library and pull the old maps of the area and figure it out
I really appreciate it

We saw lots of shows at the ice palace, didn't see the dead show, too bad. I didn't really know who they were back then.
The ice palace was in the Comercial Shopping Center on E Sahara and Maryland Pkwy. Went skating there, too. Cool place for the desert.

Locations
Being a Vegas Local these shows are sorta special to me,
Even the three one night stands at the Aladdin during the early 80's.
The one thing I cannot seem to get figured out is:
Where The Hell Was The Ice Palace Located???
I work in the casino's with some old timer's that make Bugsy seem young and none of them even have a clue where the Ice Palace was.
I'm betting on the Old Ice Skating Rink between Vegas and Henderson.
SOMEONE PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG .....OR RIGHT.....I just want an answer......
