Hi John, I'm pretty sure we are open to any ideas or suggestions. A Las Vegas location will always be our primary focus for our museum and home, but I would never discount any suggestions from members who have ideas for other displays. The museum aspect of the home has always been about the history of gaming worldwide, not just Las Vegas. The materials that go into this project will be a combination of collections and items the club owns, and displays on loan to the museum from the members, other museums, UNLV, AGA, NIGA, etc. It has always been my contention that we can do a gambling museum with a constant rotating group of displays that has never been done before. The membership has every possible gaming item in existance, name it, European, American, Cuban, Islands antiques, modern, Hollywood, etc, etc, etc. The possibilities are endless. A traveling museum or sub-museum is also possible down the road, but at this point the old 'we have to crawl before we can walk' saying comes to mind. We have been close on a couple of locations but we will not jump at any idea that doesn't benefit the club in the grand plan. The CC>CC will own the museum and our focus will always be what is best for the club and our membership. Hope this answers you question, please feel free to contact me or any other board members at any time. Regards, Jim
