Weekend Find - Caesars Palace Fancy Face Cards...

Several weekends ago, Pam (wife) called me from a thrift store in Vegas and asked if I was interested in a red and blue deck of playing cards from Nevada Landing. Hoping that they were Nevada Landing Fancy Faces playing cards, I said, Sure.

She said that they were packaged with a deck from Caesars Palace, and was that OK. Again, I said, Sure.

Well, after getting the decks I was disappointed to discover that the Nevada Landing cards were not Fancy Faces and I was very surprised that the Caesars Palace deck was a Fancy Faces deck. And, not only that, the back design, with Fancy Faces, is not documented in the Nevada Casino Playing Card Guide. (Jim Steffner, if you need a better scan of the back, let me know, but otherwise feel free to use this one.)



The tuck flap on the box indicates that this deck was in-play 11/21/09. I do believe that the fancy faces are:

King - Caesar
Queen - Cleopatra
Jack - Brutus

Thanks for looking!
