This postcard shows the front view of Caesars Palace at dusk with the fountains and a female statue The card is not dated, but Caesars opened in 1966.
I am estimating the date of this card to be from 1966 thru the 1970s. The reasoning behind that determination is the way California is abbreviated on the back. You'll notice the location of the color provider as being Berkeley Calif 94710. In October 1963 state abbreviations were changed to the 2 letter format that is used today, and also in 1963 zip codes were introduced.
The description on the back states:
Caesars Palace
3570 Las Vegas Blvd, South
Las Vegas, Nevada 89109
Other markings on the back are:
Desert Supply Co. Las Vegas Nevada
Color by Mike Roberts, Berkeley, Calif. 94710
C21605
The card is postally unused.
The card measures roughly 3.5 by 5.5 inches. It's very bright in color. The card has straight even edges. The card has a divided back, meaning one side for the address and one side for writing a message.
I recently purchased a few dozen older postcards at an estate sale. The subjects of the cards are in and around The Las Vegas area. They are of 'old Vegas" and many are of the old casinos and hotels that have long ago been demolished. I do combine shipping on multiple purchases (see shipping notes below), so be sure to check out my other items.
CONDITION:
I am not a postcard collector and don't know how to 'rate" postcards. Personally, I think the card is in great condition for being around 50 years old. I can see that there are tiny bumps to the corners, but they are so small that I can't get a measurement. Also, the back has very slight age coloring.
SHIPPING:
Buyer to pay $2.50 First Class Mail delivery charges. That cost will cover shipping for up to the purchase of 4 postcards.
NOTE about combined shipping: My website host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASES:
Due to claims that merchandise is not being received at various international countries (although Customs tracking verifies the delivery), I will no longer be able to process international orders unless payment is made with U.S. currency, including conversion fees. Orders will be processed after funds have cleared a U.S. bank. PAYPAL WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR PAYMENT ON INTERNATIONAL PURCHASES. Seller reserves the right to void any international transactions where contact has not been made prior to purchasing.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they came from homes where smoking or pets were present. All items are sold in the same condition as when I received them.
