ABOUT 500 MEMBERS BELONGED TO THE WORLD AIRLINES CLUB ... 1968 SAHARA HOTEL IN LAS VEGAS HELD THE 11TH. ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PARTY. AIRLINE EMPLOYEES USUALLY TRAVELED FOR FREE AND HOTEL ROOM DISCOUNTS AND CASINO PROMOTIONS WERE OFFERED TO AIRLINES EMPLOYEES TO DRUM UP BUSINESS DURING THIS SLOW XMAS SEASON FOR LAS VEGAS. THIS $1 NEVADA MOLD CHIP WAS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL COMMEMORATIVE SPECIAL EVENT CHIPS PRODUCED. MY FATHER WORKED FOR EASTERN AIRLINES, BUT HE NEVER GOT TO ATTEND ONE OF THESE PARTIES ... I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR MORE STORIES AND INFORMATION SURROUNDING THIS CHIP AND EVENT .... CAREY BURKE WORKED FOR BONANZA AIRLINES AND I AM SURE HE WOULD KNOW MORE .... ENJOY THE PEEKS .... RICH BURGEL
