In recent years, a surprising trend has emerged in Las Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world – the buying and selling of items from casino graveyards. These graveyards, also known as storage facilities, are where casinos store old equipment, furniture, and memorabilia that are no longer in use. And now, millions of these items are being sold and donated to collectors and fans around the world.
The phenomenon has gained momentum in recent years, as more and more people have become interested in owning a piece of Las Vegas history. From old slot machines to iconic neon signs, the items being sold and donated from these casino graveyards are truly one-of-a-kind.
One of the most notable examples of this trend is the recent sale of a vintage slot machine from the now-closed Riviera Casino. The slot machine, which dates back to the 1960s, was sold to a collector for a whopping $10,000. Other items that have been sold or donated include poker tables, roulette wheels, and even pieces of the famous Stardust Casino neon sign.
But it’s not just collectors who are benefiting from this trend – many non-profit organizations have also been able to acquire items from casino graveyards for their fundraising efforts. One such organization is the Las Vegas Rescue Mission, which recently received a donation of furniture and equipment from a local casino graveyard. These items will be used to help homeless individuals in the Las Vegas community.
As the trend continues to grow, more and more items from casino graveyards are expected to be bought, sold, and donated. And with each transaction, a piece of Las Vegas history is preserved for future generations to enjoy. So the next time you visit Las Vegas, keep an eye out for these unique items – you just might be able to take home a piece of casino history.
