Re: River Queen-Holiday Queen-Holiday Casino
In Response To: River Queen ()

The Holiday Queen chips were made and shipped before the property opened.
Holiday Inns Of America stopped the use of the Holiday Queen name between the time the chips shipped and the property opened.

If you owned a major chain of hotels and were putting your name on a casino, would you want it associated with the word "Queens" grin I can imagine the headlines, "Holiday Inns welcomes all Queens." grin Not in 1973!!!!!

With $1,000's invested in chips they wanted to use them. I bet there is a record in the NGCB records where they recieved a waiver to use the chips. I had 5 years of minutes from NGCB records copied, those years were not among them. Maybe some of the naysayers wants to go to Carson City and look. I think you will find the records as interesting as Larry and I did. We spent hours there. Lots of vital info there.

Other collateral would have been produced with the Holiday Queen name.
I would hope the authors of our books will correct the River Queen listing as they have other bum listings. The name River Queen may have been considered as a name for the property before the name Holiday Queen was considered.

The fact remains, the license was issued to The Holiday Casino. By the time I went to work there in 1980 it was being called "Holiday Center Strip"
