Las Vegas, McCarran Airport
When have you ever seen an airport photo like this? Card mailed in 2011, and the 98-cent stamp is there. Grade: 2
-
Virginia City, Old #29 Train
Mailed in 1988 with three different stamps and readable San Francisco postmark. Aging. Grade: 3
-
Las Vegas, Showboat Hotel and Casino
Mailed in 2011, the card has three different stamps. It’s aging prematurely but OK otherwise. Grade: 2
-
Las Vegas, Bally’s Casino – Hotel
Mailed in 2012 with three stamps. Grade: 2
-
Las Vegas, fireworks
This Las Vegas postcard is in great shape. Mailed in 2012 with two stamps and readable modern postmark. Grade: 1
-
Las Vegas, Royal Las Vegas Hotel and Casino
It is still there, though even their own website can’t decide on its own name. It is either “Royal Resort” or “Royal Hotel” but, never mind, it’s a survivor. Unused card, heavily handled. Grade: 3
-
Las Vegas, Circus Circus, leap of 100 feet
The caption on the reverse of this unused Mike Roberts card is as breathless as the leap itself, 100 feet down into a “Pad of foam rubber.” Grade: 1
-
Reno, MGM Grand Hotel
Unused card from this property, which became Bally’s, a Hilton, then Grand Sierra Resort and Casino, and if it has recently been sold, then what? Reno faces lots of challenges. Grade: 3
-
Harrah’s Reno
Unused card, inviting you to leave it at the bar or premium booth for free mailing. Grade: 1
-
Virginia City, Presbyterian Church
We were on this street recently, in the same location. Interesting to “compare and contrast.” If you want to buy contemporary Nevada postcards, they have a great selection–but you need to get there first. Unused H.S. Crocker card BB-24. Grade: 1
-
Las Vegas Strip
Mailed with three different stamps but no distinct postmark. USPS abrasions on the reverse. Grade: 4
-
Las Vegas, The Lights of Fremont Street, 1969
Though we are finding it slightly creepy that scenes we remember from the original are now being issued as “retro” reproductions, we have to accept it. This is a contemporary card (not 1969) mailed in 2013 with round “Global Forever” stamp and New York wind farm postmark. Grade: 1
-
Las Vegas, Bellagio Hotel & Casino
Unused card. Grade: 1
-
Las Vegas, Gaming Capital of the World
Unusually, instead of Asian gamblers going to Vegas, a Vegas card came back to Taiwan and was mailed from there in 2013 with two stamps and full postmark. Grade: 3
-
Reno, Nevada Club
What do we say about an old (maybe late 1980s) unused card that is itself a reproduction of another card from the early 1950s? Art imitates life? Grade: 1
-
Hawthorne, El Capitan Motor Lodge & Casino
Unused card of this Best Western property. Grade: 1
-
Las Vegas, Fremont Hotel and Casino
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
-
Incline Village, Ponderosa Ranch
Unused Mike Roberts card SC11433, telling about the famous old “Bonanza” TV series but most notably not identifying Lorne Greene in his role as Ben Cartwright. Why was that? Grade: 2
-
Reno, Biggest Little City in the World (0102)
Many of these cards look alike, so we include their own index numbers. Unused “Reno Series” card 0102 from 2006, showing the arch over Virginia Street. Grade: 1
-
Reno, fireworks
Unused. Grade: 1
-
Reno, The Biggest Little City in the World (0127)

-
Downtown Reno, night
Unused “Reno Series” card 0228. Grade: 1
-
Reno/Sparks, multiple views
Unused card. The design on the reverse would make it hard for the postal service to deliver, and for the recipient to read. Grade: 1
-
Reno – Tahoe, multiple views
Unused. Two of these are available. Grades: 1
-
Lake Tahoe, California/Nevada
Spanning two states, Lake Tahoe postcards don’t always define the locations exactly. This one could have, but didn’t. However the buildings in the photo give a very good clue. Can you guess? We are listing the card in California and in Nevada, so as not to make any enemies! Unused card, Grade: 1
-
Reno, casinos
Unused card. Did you know that gambling was legalised in Nevada in 1931? Grade: 1
-
Reno Celebrates
Unused card RC-42 from The William Carr Collection showing the 8th August 1987 dedication of Reno’s fourth arch. Grade: 1
-
Reno Rodeo
We would love to be able to have a theme category called “Rodeos” but don’t have enough entries. This, and a few others, will have to do. Unused “Gold Coast Collection” card, Grade: 2
-
Pyramid Lake, full moon
Unused card, aging slightly. Grade: 1
