When you think of downtown Las Vegas today, or in its golden days,

how many casinos come to mind?

 
Picture the iconic glitter and neon from movies and TV shows from the past or from today. For most people, even frequent visitors to Glitter Gulch, just a handful of names pop up. The Pioneer, the Golden Nugget, the Las Vegas Club. So like many others I figured that the downtown area over the years probably had 20 or 30 different casinos.
 
I looked into it a little further and as I started collecting more memborabilia from
bygone days and bygone casinos the number grew to more than 100!
