Re: I suspect that the ad....
In Response To: Right next to Westward Ho ()

really was for the Westward Ho, instead of the Circus Circus (apparently I was just looking at the picture when I filed it to the Circus Circus folder! vbg )

Anyway...I looked on Wiki and learned that the Westward Ho Motel opened in 1963. The Westward Ho Casino opened in 1971.

Circus Circus opened 10-18-68, but they only had a casino...no hotel. With just a quick look, I didn't find a date for the Circus Circus Hotel opening...though Wiki said there was a hotel wing built or expanded in 1972.

Slots-a-Fun opened in August of 1971.

Based on the above information, I'd guess that the brochure was from 1969-1970...before the Circus had rooms, before the Westward Ho had a casino, and before Slots-a-Fun opened.
