That card is a favorite of mine too.
The design is interesting, in that the top of Luxor is shown peeking through behind the Hacienda. Unusual for competing casinos to feature another casino in their design.
I may be wrong on the timing, but this card may have been issued after Circus Circus Enterprises (as it was named at the time) bought Hacienda. Then closed it, demolished it and opened Mandalay Bay on the site. CCE owned Excalibur and Luxor as well. That may explain the presence of Luxor on this Hacienda card. Otherwise, the depiction is unusual.
