This postcard shows the entrance and marquee sign at the Union Plaza Hotel Casino in Las Vegas Nevada. The card is not dated, but looking at the vehicles pictured, they appear to be 1970s models. Also, on the back it says in part "This new downtown multi-million dollar hotel"… The Union Plaza opened in 1971, so that would date this card to the early 1970s.
The front says "The Plaza Las Vegas. According to the marquee, Bob Carroll, Fiddler on the Roof, and several other entertainers were appearing at the time the photo was taken.
The description on the back states:
Union Plaza Hotel Las Vegas, Nevada.
This new downtown multi-million dollar hotel with the largest Casino in the world has become one of the showplaces of the West.
It is from the H.S. Crocker Co. and carries the card number FS-1368-C.
The card measures roughly 3.5 by 5.5 inches and has great color. It has deckled edges. Deckled edges were irregular and uneven. The card has a divided back, meaning one side for the address and one side for writing a message.
The card is postally unused and has not been addressed or written on.
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. There are no bends, tears, or cracking.
SHIPPING:
Buyer to pay $3.50 First Class Mail delivery charges. That cost will cover shipping for up to the purchase of 4 postcards.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items will safely fit into a single box. 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.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly, and again in November for the holiday season (so three times per 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 on shipping charges each year. I try to absorb the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year unfortunately, I have to if I want to stay in business. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the increases when possible.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASED: 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 come from homes where smoking or pets were present. Unless otherwise stated, all items are sold in the same condition as when I obtained them.
