Re: The Mail man was nice to me today vbg

Nice chip Tracy, I posted this cover well over a year or so ago and didn't get any replies as far as interest or info. What's interesting here is that TGT lists the casino as opening in 1956. However as you see in the statement below quoted from wikipedia, Jackpot did not even become a city until 1954 which makes me wonder how far back this place really goes. Maybe you can print this cover and show it to some of your clients up there, they might get a kick out of it?!

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 (then known as Cactus Pete's Desert Lodge) placed the property in Contact before Jackpot emerged as a separate city.
