The Showboat Hotel Casino in Las Vegas opened in 1954. It was reported to be the first resort within Las Vegas’ city limits.
It was a favorite of pro sports such as bowling, roller derby, and pro wrestling. Its design of its Bingo parlor was award winning. Most locals streamed in for it’s $0.49 breakfast buffet.
Harrah’s entertainment bought Showboat in 1988 and then sold it in 2000. The Showboat name was not sold in the deal by Harrah’s, so the resort was renamed to Castaways in 2000. The Castaways didn’t last long and was imploded. Today, an empty lot stands at the location.
Of the three pins in this listing, 2 are yellow, have a happy face, say “Showboat” and “Have A Happy Day!”. They measure 1.75 inches across. They each have a sticker on back. One sticker has the phone number, but the other sticker is faded and un-readable.
The third pin features the Showboat Slot Club. It measures just under 3 inches across.
The age on these pins is unknown to me. I purchased them at an estate sale.
Buyer to pay $6.45 USPS First Class Mail Packaging postage charges. Shipping is from Arizona
SPECIAL NOTE about SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly and again in November for the holiday season (so 3 times each year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their “Delivering for America” plan in which they hope to become profitable. It’s a 10 year plan that started in 2021, so we’ve got years to go with multiple price increases each year. I try to absorb some of the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year, unfortunately, I have to increase the shipping. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the changes when possible.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items can fit safely into a single box or envelope. However, my web 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: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
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.
