I Survived The Bomb

Tourists at Stateline, Lake Tahoe wearing shirts that say "I Survived The Bomb." This is a reference to a homemade bomb that exploded in Harvey's Casino on August 27, 1980. The bomb was an extortion attempt that went wrong; the bomb squad accidentally detonated the explosive while trying to disarm it. Across the street in the background is the Sahara Tahoe.
