At the Las Vegas Yard Sales and Garage Sales.....

and Thrift Stores, I see slot glass all the time. BUT!!!! Never and of the recognizable stuff, like you are looking for. Rarely do I even find stuff that you can recognize what casino it came from. More often than not it is simple generic stuff, but there sure seems to be a lot of it.

Last weekend I did pick up two pieces (top and bottom glass) that were from a Mirage machine, unless the glass manufactuer (or decal maker) was named "Mirage Inc." The glass (decal) itself has no other indication of Mirage.

Anyway, I've seen so much of this stuff (and the above example was a first time purchase) I have suspected that there are places that manufactuer the glass as framable artwork and it was never intended to even be on a machine! But I could be wrong!

I believe that the gift shop of the Casino Legends Hall of Fame (in the Tropicana) sells such glass. I've never asked if it was from a real machine, from a real casino, from a known casino, etc.

Pricing has been $6 and up for the small (top) glass and $10 and up for the larger (bottom) glass.

I hope this helps, I sight this only as personal experience.
