Welcome to our website. This project is a collaboration between me and my father. It started with my father’s glass display case of Westerner memorabilia. I was asked to document the collection and noticed that a story often accompanied each item. Additionally, I found many pieces which rarely or never appeared online – a faux alligator wallet, a silver slot machine plaque, a casino credit card, and more.

We have three primary goals:

  1. Discover new memorabilia.
  2. Document a timeline of events from opening date to closing date.
  3. Share family history with roots in vintage Las Vegas.

I look forward to rediscovering history. Thanks for reading!
