You could use the historic topos. The interface that USGS and Esri have put on them make the swipe between the, say, 1952 topo and the contemporary map dramatic:
And the time feature on Google Earth has an almost unbelievable 1950 image. Of course you said GIS, and as far as I know you still can’t get that open in a GIS.

ps: you can also license imagery from me: https://www.google.com/#q=las+
www.airscalifornia.com, but then you are in the georeferencing business.
Hi Andrew,
Would this link for a Historical Aerial Imagery Viewer, from the City of Las Vegas website, be useful? http://clvplaces.appspot.com/
The imagery goes back to 1990. Street names are available. The Viewer also features bookmarks for specific areas around Las Vegas.
This page from the City’s website includes a link to census data, as well as to the Historical Aerial Imagery Viewer mentioned above:http://www.lasvegasnevada.gov/
Hope this helps.
Best,

Subject: Looking for historical GIS data and imagery for Las Vegas area
Hi everyone,
I am a GIS Librarian up in Canada at the University of Toronto, and it has been awhile since i have worked with US GIS data.
I working with a Professor interested in urban change and mapping. Would anyone know of a urban change dataset for Las Vegas that could be shared for use in a teaching lab? I am just looking for a historical collection of aerial or sat images, census polygons, and perhaps some land use files.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Many thanks,
Andrew
