Slot glass & more on display ... grin

My home office is populated with a number of casino-themed artworks, among other art & more, on the walls and shelves. Acquired over the past 20 years, including some recent. A part-office and part-man cave, I guess! Hope you enjoy them. grin

1 Del Webb’s Mint – downtown LV – slot glass in light box (light turned off). Back-lit box made by Tiny Treasures (now Games and Frames.

2 Del Webb’s Mint slot glass (light turned on).

3 More slot glass – framed but no light box. MGM Grand, Las Vegas Hilton, Landmark and State Line H&C – Elko.

4 Horse & Rider (from Hacienda, as currently mounted on pole on LV Blvd. near downtown). Note – this is reduced-size print of an original PAINTING (not a photograph), painted by artist David Milton. (See: davidmiltonstudio.com for more of his work. Included pics of Neon Museum / Boneyard signs & more from LV and other iconic So.CA signs.)

5 Hacienda + Horse & Rider sign, in original setting. Print of an original felt-tip-pen work by LV artist Neal Portnoy. He was speaker at the 2025 Early Bird Banquet. His work seen at: portnoygallery.com. In particular, see: https://www.portnoygallery.com/iconic-hotels-of-las-vegas

6 Four framed photos of original hand-drawn classic inlays, plus example of finished product (chip) in corner. 3 vintage Riviera and 1 Sands “A Place in the Sun”.

7 Photo of a scale-model of the to-be-built new Golden Nugget Corp project to be on the LV strip. The table-sized scale- model was on display at the downtown Golden Nugget for all to see. Note that they hadn’t named the project (to be The Mirage, of course) so the signage on top says “Golden Nugget”.

8 Scale-model of the Paris Hotel & Casino on the LV Strip. Sold in their gift shop in the early days. The original look, prior to later add-ons to the property. It’s about 8 x 8 x 6 inches.

9 “Nevada Gold” poster – produced by Steve Cutler “back in the day”. Sold at the convention and elsewhere.

10 Four-piece framed photos (my personal pics) – Welcome to Las Vegas sign, 2 photos of Vegas Vic, and a photo of Vegas Vickie atop the Glitter Gulch sign downtown. Prior to Vegas Vickie being renewed and on display inside Circa.

11 Monaco-Monte Carlo – small print of an Art Deco-era poster by Alphonse Mucha. Of course, Mucha is the artist represented on the 7-piece set of chips produced by Main Street Station, downtown Las Vegas, in 1977.
