The other Las Vegas. Locals only contest.

Here's a small selection of neat covers from Las Vegas lounges, bars and other out of the way places you may or may not have heard of. Often these small bars & lounges were, and still are havens for many locals to get away from the bustling crowds we associate with Las Vegas. Like many neighborhood bars they offer a quick getaway for a decent bite to eat, a few drinks and of course some video poker to get that gamblin' fix!! As far as collectability, these smaller, sometimes short lived places (Lucy's Lounge 1985-1986) made matchbooks in limited, almost minuscule quantity's compared to the big strip casinos, so finding them is more difficult. The cover from Marty's lists no address, thankfully we have the Fuller Index which list's Marty's at 3750 Valley View Blvd. (04-01-80-12-31-88)

Now for the contest. What's the common theme all these cover's share????
On behalf of the winner I will PayPal $5 to Spragg for costs associated with this forum.
