Re: NCR: Postcard - Golden Nugget Again

Thanks for the pictures, Mark, I love old postcards! grin

A little trivia about the bar pictured in the Golden Nugget card.

I was digging through some postcards at a shop or show awhile ago, and spotted one with the same Mermaids (I think that's what they are??) as the ones at the ends of the Golden Nugget bar. I decided I'd have to buy the card, so I could compare it to an old Nugget card. Then I flipped it over, and here's what it said on the back:

"...The saloon's famous old bar was built and used in a San Francisco saloon in 1890. It survived the '06 earthquake and several years later was moved to the Golden Nuggett Saloon in Las Vegas... In later years it was brought to Jarbridge and now it's antique beauty can be seen at the Outdoor Inn...At this bar you can be served your favorite beverage and in the cafe there is fine food."

There was another card showing the exterior of the Outdoor Inn. No indication of gaming on either card sad , but it was kinda' cool to find a bit of history on the old bar! grin
