Hawthorne, El Capitan Motor Lodge & Casino (Nevada, USA)
Unused card of this Best Western property. Grade: 1

Code: 30900625
Price: $2.00
Wickenburg, Rancho Grande Motor Hotel (Arizona, USA)
Unused card S-27164L2 of this Best Western Motel. Grade: 1

Code: 30900626
Price: $1.00
Sacramento, The Beauty Rest Motel (California)
Gone but not forgotten, on an unused ShiniColor postcard SK7166. Well, unused except that someone–possibly from the motel itself–inked changes in the number of units and the phone number. Grade: 3

Code: 30900627
Price: $3.00
Sentry Hiway House, Flagstaff (Arizona, USA)
“We Guard Your Comfort.” Wikipedia has a short but interesting entry about this chain, which went under sometime after 1970. Unused card. Grade: 2

Code: 30900628
Price: $2.00
Park Villa Motel, Sacramento (California)
Google is extraordinarily confusing as to whether this motel is still there or not. Probably not. The postcard, unused but for someone’s written change of the phone number, suggests it was just down the road from the Beauty Rest. Grade: 3

Code: 30900629
Price: $3.00
Ocean Echo Motel, Santa Cruz (California)
This old, unused card has some quirks to it. Original printing lacked a phone number, so the proprietor wisely made a rubber stamp and put this information (unwisely) in the middle of the message space, along with her name. And if you can look closely at the photo, we really doubt those two signs were ever on the property. Anyway, Grade: 1

Code: 30900630
Price: $2.00
Estes Park, Baldpate Inn, Keystone Fireplace (Colorado, USA)
Unused card, heavily aged, significantly creased vertically (though somehow this doesn’t show up much from the front), and someone has written “July 1951” on the back. That seems to be a collection of keys hanging from the ceiling. Grade: 4

Code: 30900631
Price: $1.00
Fremont Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas (Nevada)
Unused Plastichrome card P20675, calling this “Nevada’s tallest and finest hotel,” but when it opened in 1956 it was also the tallest building in the state–and while no longer the tallest, it’s still there, a real survivor. Grade: 1

Code: 30900632
Price: $3.00
El Portal Hotel, Raton (New Mexico)
Mailed in 1956, with 2-cent stamp and full postmark, this card is especially nostalgic in view of what happened to the El Portal Hotel. The term “star-crossed” really applies, as it was the victim of fires, the final one in 2012 that destroyed the last bits of it. Grade: 2

Code: 30900633
Price: $6.00
El Hacienda Motel, Tulsa (Oklahoma, USA)
The motel is long gone but this circa-1960s unused card lives on. Dexter Press 58648, quite heavily aged and handled. Grade: 4

Code: 30900634
Price: $3.00
Riverside Courts, Canadian (Texas, USA)
Mailed in 1953 with two one-cent stamps and readable postmark. Small smudge in address area. Grade: 3

Code: 30900635
Price: $3.00
English Lakes, The Keswick Hotel (England)
Now called The Keswick Country House Hotel, it’s still there, and after reading the TripAdvisor reviews, we really would like to stay there! Sounds nice, and so is the unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 30900636
Price: $3.00
Crosby Lodge, Sutcliffe (Nevada, USA)
Unused, noticeably aging card, 5-3/8″ x 7″, showing the Lodge, Pyramid Lake, and the Crosby Saloon. Grade: 3

Code: 30900637
Price: $3.00
Circus Circus Hotel & Casino, Reno (Nevada)
Two of these unused cards are available. Grades: 1

Code: 30900638
Price: $1.00
Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, Las Vegas (USA)
Unused “Vegas Series” card 0745. Grade: 1

Code: 30900639
Price: $1.00
Eldorado Hotel and Casino, Reno (Nevada)
Two of these unused “Reno Series” cards 0185 are available. Grades: 1

Code: 30900640
Price: $1.00
John Ascuaga’s Nugget Hotel & Casino, Sparks (Nevada)
Between the time we got this unused card 0171 from the “Reno Series” and the day we’re entering it into the website, the property was sold. News reports say the new owners plan to maintain and improve the facility. Time will tell. Grade: 1

Code: 30900641
Price: $2.00
Siena Hotel Spa Casino, Reno (Nevada)
Unused card. Grade: 2

Code: 30900642
Price: $1.00
Las Vegas, Sam’s Town Hotel & Gambling Hall (Nevada)
Not really a modern view of Sam’s Town, but at least the establishment is still there and gets good reviews. Two unused cards are available. Grades: 1

Code: 30900643
Price: $2.00
Las Vegas, The Westin, Casuarina Hotel Casino (Nevada)
Unused “Vegas Series” card 0785. Grade: 1

Code: 30900644
Price: $1.00
Las Vegas, Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino (Nevada)
Unused “Vegas Series” card 0746. Grade: 1

Code: 30900645
Price: $1.00
Stardust Resort & Casino (Las Vegas), and Western Pacific Airlines
Two sad business stories in one card (actually we have two of the unused cards). Western Pacific Airlines was famous for painting their jets in various logos, but the airline went bankrupt in 1998. As for the Stardust, it was demolished in March 2007. These two cards are notably aging, but at least they exist, unlike their namesakes. Grades: 2

Code: 30900646
Price: $12.00
Excalibur Hotel/Casino, Las Vegas (Nevada)
Unused “Vegas Series” card 0106, very heavily aged on the reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 30900647
Price: $1.00
Flamingo, Laughlin (Nevada)
Unused card from the “Laughlin Series.” Aging. Grade: 2

Code: 30900648
Price: $1.00
The Silver Queen Hotel, Wedding Chapel and Casino, Virginia City (Nevada)
Quoting the caption, “The Silver Queen’s dress contains 3,261 silver dollars, a large percentage of them undoubtedly contain silver that was mined thousands of feet beneath the building.” There’s more. Unused “Virginia City Series” card 0039. Grade: 1

Code: 30900649
Price: $2.00
Lake Tahoe, Cal-Neva Resort Spa & Casino (USA)
Famous old property on an unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 30900650
Price: $3.00
Lake of Bays (Ontario), Bigwin Inn
This was apparently quite the place in the 1920s-30s until one source calling it “a number of years of mismanagement and neglect” caused it to be abandoned in 1970. But … can’t keep a good resort down! It’s back, better than ever. We hope a Google search will lead to this card and that someone there will grab it as a souvenir. Mailed in 1940, with stamp and partial postmark, by someone who was liking the visit. Grade: 2

Code: 30900651
Price: $4.00
Luchon, Hotel Continental (France)
With a quick Google, we were not able to determine whether this hotel is still there or not. Probably not. But we have the postcard, and therefore so can you. Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 30900652
Price: $4.00
Fribourg, Cathedrale et Hotel de Ville (Switzerland)
Looking for a Fribourg postcard? In 1932, this one went out with a stamp and clear postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 30900653
Price: $6.00
Chexbres, Hotel-Pension Cecil (Switzerland)
Mailed in 1929, with stamp and postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 30900654
Price: $5.00
Milano, Majestic Hotel Diana (Italy)
Unused card. Some edge abrasions. Grade: 2

Code: 30900655
Price: $2.00
Kakiat Lodge, The Dutch Kitchen, Rockland (New York)
The Lodge is long gone; the postcard lives on, not postally used but with a message taking up most of the reverse. The writer enjoyed his stay, at least. Grade: 4

Code: 30900656
Price: $1.00
Schmallenberg, Gasthof zum Grubental (Germany)
Mailed in 1916, a heavily handled card with stamp and postmark. Grade: 3

Code: 30900657
Price: $2.00
Hotel Caleta, Acapulco (Mexico)
A nice enough card, rounded corners, good condition. With a twist: mailed from Acapulco to Illinois, with Mexican stamp and partial postmark, and on top of all of that, for no explained reason, is a full 1966 postmark of St. Louis, Missouri. We don’t downgrade the card because of this. The hotel seems still to be there. Grade: 1

Code: 30900658
Price: $3.00
Las Vegas, Dell Webb’s Mint Hotel-Casino (Nevada)
The casino/hotel lasted in one form or another from 1957 – 1988 and was one of the most famous casino complexes in Las Vegas. Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 30900659
Price: $5.00
Seoul Palace Hotel (Seoul, S. Korea)
A creased card, mailed in 2013 with a dedicated postage meter label that makes it slightly more unusual. Grade: 3

Code: 30900660
Price: $1.00
Hotel Del Coronado, Crown Room (California)
Unused, aging, unattributed card possibly from the hotel. Grade: 2

Code: 30900661
