Today we shall look a token from Westward Ho Casino, which opened on the Las Vegas strip in 1963, just down the street from the spot that would become Slots A Fun.
It had low limits on the table games so you can bet I spent some time in here. 🍺🍺
It also had the funny umbrella looking things out front.
Which would light up at night, of course.
I spent a good amount of time sitting on those brick planters out front. It was a good place to sit and not lose money.
These tokens have a tasty 0.60ozt silver center surrounded by a ring of brass. When I take them out of the airtite to photograph them I can hear the center piece rattle around inside that brass.
All the tokens I will be showing are a $10 value at the casino cage but they sell for well over $20 on the open market. I wonder if folks actually cashed these in for a crisp 10 dollar bill at the casino?
This property has an interesting history if you care to read more
