El Rancho Vegas Fire Damaged Chip, 1960, First Casino Las Vegas Strip, RARE.

Description

For sale, a
rare El Rancho Vegas fire damaged Chip.
There's no authentication papers with chips. But I can tell you, I acquired a large collection of ERV chips from a collector who had purchased the entire lot back in the 1980s at Chip convention in Las Vegas. That's the history that I have of the chips.
The El Rancho Vegas opened on April 3, 1941. It was the first casino resort built on what would eventually become the Las Vegas Strip. On June 17, 1960, a fire broke out in the El Rancho's main building, which contained the casino, A Chuck Wagon buffet, the Nugget Neil Cocktail Lounge, the Stage Door Steak House, the Opera House dining room and showroom, and offices. There were no deaths nor injuries, but the building and famous windmill were destroyed.
This is a great opportunity to own a
unique and
interesting piece of Las Vegas history. Last photo is only for show of that historical day.
