Before it was the Silverbird, it was the Thunderbird. I know the building/location had a pre-Thunderbird history, but I am not sure what little joints were there on Highway 91 (before it was called The Strip).

The Silverbird gave way to the El Rancho, which almost became Vanadu (I think). The El Rancho closed (I think because of a fire) and was just demolished a few years ago.

If I am not mistaken it is now the property where the Turnberry condos are going in (3 of which are built and #4 is rising). Also, the big El Rancho sign is now the big Turnberry Place sign!

The value of the token you have is, 5 - 10 cents wholesale and $2 - $5 retail. There are 100's of these out there and some are pristine while other are quite beat up.
