Hi Doug, Thanks for sharing the pictures of your family in Vegas. I was very interested in the photos in front of the recreated Russ Miller's Saloon. It jogged my memory to this old Virginia City cover I've had in my "non-gaming" Nevada cover collection for a few years. I can gather that the Last Frontier Village was designed to harken back to the glory days of the Comstock Lode of which Vir. City was at it's heart. I have been unable to find info or an image of the Vir. City location or Russ Miller for that matter.
Below that is a favorite cover from the Last Frontier itself. That early old west theme is what makes many of these early Nevada pieces so attractive.
