Interesting piece of NV gaming history......

Always thought of Cactus Pete's in Jackpot as it is listed in the chip/NV gaming reference guides until I added this cover to my collection. Found this info on wikipedia, interesting isn't it?!?! grin

Located approximately 8 miles (13.3 km) south of Jackpot on U.S. Route 93, prior to Jackpot's founding in 1954 Contact was known as one of the closest Nevada cities to the Idaho border. Early records of Cactus Pete's Resort Casino (then known as Cactus Pete's Desert Lodge) placed the property in Contact before Jackpot emerged as a separate city.
