I never paid much attention to the Gold Key Motel. It was one of hundreds of motels that operated in Las Vegas over the years. Then I saw this photo.

Hmmmmmmmm....."Loose Slots" . We do have some matches from the Gold Key, but the scan doesn't seem to be on this computer .

The Gold Key is listed in the expanded Fuller's Index, as operating from 12/10/76 - 4/29/82. It's not listed in The Gaming Table 4th edition.
