WHEN I WAS A KID GROWING UP IN MIAMI BEACH ... THERE WAS AN OLD HOTEL BUILT IN THE 1940'S CALLED THE SANDS ... IT 'S SLOGAN WAS ..."A PLACE IN THE SUN" ... YEAR'S LATER THE SANDS LAS VEGAS OPENED IN 1952 ... I ALWAY'S WONDERED IF THERE WAS ANY CONNECTION? .... ANYWAY I OBTAINED A FEW NICE ITEMS FROM AN ESTATE SALE HERE IN LAS VEGAS ... "BILLY MAXWELL" A PIT BOSS OPENED THE SANDS HOTEL, HIS WIFE "LOUISE MAXWELL" WAS THE SECRETARY TO JAKE FREIDMAN AND JACK ENTRATTOR THEY BOTH SAVED ALL OF THE PREMIUM GIFTS THEY USED TO GIVE OUT TO THE HIGH ROLLERS ... BELOW ARE SOME PICTURES OF THESE BEAUTIES ... SHOW US YOUR SANDS! ... YOUR COMMENTS ARE MOST WELCOMED ... THANKS RICH BURGEL
