Nevada Club, circa the early 50's

For those who asked.

This is the way the Nevada Club looked back in the 50's. I was not working here then, but I recognize a few people I worked with.

Lower right, pink sweater, is Bettye Johnson, one of the dealers who trained me. It looks like the gals are wearing western slacks, and that was pre-1957.

Around that time, Fitz was in the cage one day with his wife, Meta, who was wearing the western slacks. She leaned over to pick something up, and from that day on, the gals wore skirts and a white blouse.

I recognize Jimmy Jones and I think, Eddie Beatty.

Those slots are worth a lot of money today, and are collectors items.
