Las Vegas
Ah, we don’t have to tell you where Las Vegas is, do we? Unused Plastichrome card (SK2658) from the 1960s, a little aging on reverse but otherwise in great condition. Grade: 1

Code: 10129001
Price: $4.00
Goldfield
Jumbo (6″ x 9″) card mailed in 1991 and pretty heavily battered. Small tear in upper edge, also corner abrasions. It’s a wonder how any card like this could survive international mailing, but here it is. Grade: 4

Code: 10129002
Price: $6.00
Las Vegas Sahara, Eve Arden
This unused 5″ x 8″ card should appeal to anyone wanting to re-create the “old” Las Vegas feel. And with Our Miss Brooks gazing right out at you…maybe you just have to be of a certain age. Grade: 1

Code: 10129003
Price: $11.00
Las Vegas Dunes, Eleanor Powell
Appearing with Gary Morton at the Las Vegas Dunes, this famous entertainer of her era is right here for you again on a 5-1/2″ x 7″ card from the 1960s, with all booking information printed on reverse. Grade: 1

Code: 10129004
Price: $11.00
Las Vegas Dunes, Zsa Zsa Gabor
The Dunes may be long gone, but Ms Gabor as of this writing is still with us on this postcard. Jumbo card (5-1/2″ x 7″) (two are available) from 1960s, with booking information on reverse. Grade: 1

Code: 10129005
Price: $11.00
Las Vegas, Dunes Hotel Aladdin Room
This 5-1/2″ x 7″ unused card, in as-new condition, from a hotel that’s long gone, and advertising a meal at a price equally long gone, will be a gem for anyone who just wants to remember Las Vegas as it used to be in the 1960s. Grade: 1

Code: 10129006
Price: $12.00
Las Vegas, Dunes Hotel, Burns and Channing
The George Burns and Carol Channing Show with The Four Preps at the Las Vegas Dunes Hotel in the 1960s. Two unused (5-3/8″ x 7″) cards are available, from this long-gone hotel. Grade: 1

Code: 10129007
Price: $11.00
Hoover Dam (folio)
Two of these miniature (2-7/8″ x 4″) albums are available. Each was meant to be sent altogether as a souvenir. These date from the 1960s and each has ten “natural color album prints.” One album has a travel agency’s stamp on reverse (Grade: 4, $12) while the other is unmarked but upper right corners are bent a bit (Grade: 2, $16).

Code: 10129008
Price: $16.00
Reno, Mustang Ranch
Two unused cards are available, from Nevada’s original legal brothel, apparently a place with more stories than customers. These cards are aging on both sides, but are otherwise undamaged. Grades: 2

Code: 10129009
Price: $6.50
Hoover Dam
Aging unused Plastichrome card P27208 from the 1960s, and if you collect Hoover (Boulder) Dam cards, you can track the age by the cars parked down below. Grade: 1

Code: 10129010
Price: $2.50
Las Vegas, Lionel Hampton, Riviera Hotel
This somewhat oversized (4″ x 7″) unused card from the 1960s is a little smudged on both sides but definitely a prize catch for Hampton collectors. Grade: 2

Code: 10129011
Price: $6.00
Las Vegas, Riviera Hotel, Ginger Rogers
Slightly oversized (4″ x 7″) card from the early 1960s, showing Miss Rogers in her “premiere Las Vegas cafe appearance.” The card is aging and has a travel agent’s rubber stamp on the reverse but if you’re a collector of Las Vegas, or any of the glitz associated with Vegas, this one’s for you. Grade: 4

Code: 10129012
Price: $6.00
Hoover Dam at night
Unused Ferris H. Scott / Western Resort Publications card S-4138L2-3 (and FS-755) with just one very small corner crease. Grade: 2

Code: 10129013
Price: $2.00
Las Vegas, Circus Circus
Nice unused Circus Circus casino card, cheaper than a hand of blackjack. Grade: 1

Code: 10129014
Price: $3.00
Las Vegas, Golden Nugget
With its breathless caption on the reverse, you could almost expect to leave there a winner! Get this unused card P43886 for a lot cheaper! Grade: 1

Code: 10129015
Price: $3.00
Death in the Desert
You wouldn’t call this card “comic” and we’re not ready to open a new theme for “tragic.” Three of these unused cards from 1992 are available. Aging noticeably on the reverses. Grades: 2

Code: 10129016
Price: $2.00
Reno, downtown arch
Unused Travel Series card R-102 from 1987. Grade: 1

Code: 10129017
Price: $2.00
Las Vegas, Boulder Club
Las Vegas has more lives than a cat. But not the Boulder Club, which one Google citation tells us operated from 1931 to 1960 despite a large fire in 1956. The caption on the back says “We never close.” Not so. Grade: 2

Code: 10129018
Price: $4.00
Lake Tahoe, Barney’s Casino
Barney’s may have been absorbed into something else by now, but his cards live on. Unused. By the way, Barney’s was on the south shore of Lake Tahoe. We’re not certain where “Northern Nevada’s largest slot machine” may be now, however. Grade: 1

Code: 10129019
Price: $7.00
Las Vegas, multiple views
One by one these casinos get demolished, or burn, or just disappear. But they live forever on postcards. This nice one was mailed in 1984 with full Las Vegas postmark and some 10-cent People’s Right to Petition stamps. Minor USPS imprint on front. Grade: 2

Code: 10129020
Price: $6.00
Virginia City
With not too much effort, we can imagine Virginia City the way it used to be. This card was mailed in 1990 from Reno with full postmark and two 25-cent Hemingway stamps. According to the card, today’s Virginia City “is termed ‘The Livelist Ghost Town in the West,'” but maybe it would not have turned out that way if they had learned how to spell. Grade: 1

Code: 10129021
Price: $3.00
Las Vegas, Golden Nugget
Many Golden Nugget cards look the same, but this one is this one. Unused and atypically unnumbered H.S. Crocker card from the 1950s, probably. Grade: 2

Code: 10129022
Price: $4.00
Las Vegas, Flamingo Hilton
Still the Flamingo, just no longer a Hilton. Card was mailed in 1984 (“It’s a brand new hotel!”) with two stamps and fully legible Las Vegas postmark. Grade: 3

Code: 10129023
Price: $3.00
Las Vegas, Old West Motel
Another of these long-gone affordable and pleasant places that now exist only in Google and eBay–and here. Unused card from the 1960s, really as-new. Grade: 1

Code: 10129024
Price: $4.50
Las Vegas, Stardust Hotel
The hotel opened in 1958, and after many changes finally closed in 2006. Card was mailed in 1984 with 40-cent Olympics swimming stamp and fully legible Las Vegas postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 10129025
Price: $4.50
Las Vegas, The Sands
Opened in 1958, The Sands was once owned by the legendary Howard Hughes. And it didn’t look like this card for long. This building, and the hotel, are long gone (replaced by the Venetian?) but the company is still very much there. Two unused cards are available, from the early 1960s. Grades: 1

Code: 10129026
Price: $6.50
Las Vegas, Frontier Hotel
Another of the iconic Las Vegas hotel properties with a long and rich history, and also gone as of 2007. This exceptionally clear card is unused and as-new, except of course that the hotel isn’t there any more. Grade: 1

Code: 10129027
Price: $6.50
Las Vegas, Nevada Club (not a postcard)
This is not a postcard. It measures 2.25″ x 3.5″ (like a business card), has rounded edges, and on the back contains a map to find the casino, a rubber stamp from the motel that passed the card out, and another rubber stamp saying “three free souvenirs.” Not sure if that offer is still valid now, but the little item is very nice. Grade: 1

Code: 10129028
Price: $4.50
Las Vegas, Golden Nugget gambling hall
Unused Plastichrome card P15753. Grade: 1

Code: 10129029
Price: $4.00
Las Vegas, Golden Nugget
Several of these Golden Nugget cards look alike. This is Plastichrome card P15754, unused. Grade: 1

Code: 10129030
Price: $3.00
Las Vegas, Horseshoe Club, one million dollars
Two are available, probably late 1950s or early 1960s. One is unused (Grade: 1, $2) and the other is unmailed but with an inked notation on the reverse (Grade: 4, $0.50).

Code: 10129031
Price: $2.00
Las Vegas, The Mint
“Spectacular new Club on Fremont Street” should suggest how old this unused card is. Great condition. Grade: 1

Code: 10129032
Price: $7.50
Las Vegas, Rinns Royal Las Vegas Motor Hotel
This 3.5″ x 8.25″ card was mailed in 1973 with a 6-cent stamp and is heavily creased, folded, and aged. Grade: 5

Code: 10129033
Price: $1.00
Las Vegas, Greetings
Mailed in the 1970s with a 10-cent stamp and partial postmark, this card has serratedc edges and assorted creases. Technically it’s not in very good shape but if you are collecting marquee signs, this is a good one. Grade: 4

Code: 10129034
Price: $3.50
Reno, Washoe County Courthouse
Divorce was not always as easy as it is now, and Reno was the place to go, and this courthouse was Ground Zero. The caption on reverse elaborates just a little bit. Card was mailed with a 2-cent stamp, probably in 1957 but the postmark is not distinct. Grade: 2

Code: 10129035
Price: $2.50
Las Vegas, Old West Motel
Should be a companion card to the other one we have of the same motel many years later. This unused linen card has aged significantly and has a fading stain in the address area, but if you are into before-and-after views, this is perfect for you. Grade: 4

Code: 10129036
Price: $5.00
Virginia City
The card’s writer was prophetic when he asked “What can happen to this card? It only has to go ten miles.” The answer is: multiple abrasions, postal battering, water stains, barcoding sticker, … you get the idea. Mailed in 1994, the stamp and postmark are there. Grade: 4

Code: 10129037
Price: $1.00
Greetings from Las Vegas, Flamingo
A card for many categories, mailed in 1974 with stamp and postmark. The writer was having a great time, clearly. The irony is that the card’s recipient could have been right there with them. A bit of postal battering, nothing major. Grade: 3

Code: 10129038
Price: $7.00
Carson City, Federal Post Office
Unused Mike Roberts card C2484. Grade: 2

Code: 10129039
Price: $3.00
Las Vegas, Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino
Mailed in 2011 with stamp but unreadable partial postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 10129040
Price: $1.00
