Neat photo of the Palms Casino, too!

Essentially, the Park changed a bit over the years, the Roaring 20's theme was tried for awhile. Think it's gone now.
Spinetti's is offering a token or two now (putting in a shameless plug for them!) - don't know if they came into the hoard of aluminum tokens or someone else uncovered them. Reverse side shows the US Bicentennial design (think from our 50ยข pieces) dating the tokens to 1976 though they may have circulated for years after that. Will submit to ChipGuide in the near future although I'm not sure this is an actual "casino related item."
The token is just one of those little oddities that I knew about but never cared to spend $8 to acquire. Got my wish today.
