THE MILLION DOLLAR
GOLDEN NUGGET GAMBLING HALL
SALOON AND RESTAURANT
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA
“Where Fortune Smiles”
See the Old-Style West in our modern world. A place of mahogany bars, crystal chandeliers, with the genuine hospitality and old-time gaiety of the barbary coast and the Virginia City of fifty years ago.
—Barbary Coast is a reference to the notorious district in San Francisco, home to bordellos, gambling halls, drug dens and other unsavory entertainments. Virginia City was a boom town in the Washoe basin near Reno, notable for its extensive silver mining activity and the emergence of Mark Twain there as a journalist in his younger years.
The card dates from the 1950s
