The Royal Nevada was open from 1955-1959
It's now part of the Stardust

1955

A few years ago when we were in Las Vegas we went to the neon graveyard near Cashman Field. The gate was standing wide open, but the people inside wouldn't let me come in to take pictures . I took a few pictures over the fence (with one foot on the car's door frame and the other foot on the car door...it wasn't pretty, but sometimes ya just do what ya gotta do!) and I took some pictures through the fence, including these shots of the old Royal Nevada crown--well, as much of the crown as I could get from a bad angle.
