Hi Rich,

You probably know this, but a bit of Las Vegas trivia for others....The day before they opened, The Royal Nevada had a special dinner for soldiers who were involved in nuclear testing.

An excerpt from an article by David Schwartz, on the vegasseven website http://vegasseven.com/2015/08/06/long-hot-summer-55/ :

"...the Royal Nevada was next in line. On April 18, the property held a special sneak preview for the “atomic soldiers” of Camp Desert Rock, who had just completed the Operation Teapot nuclear test. The next night, the Royal opened to civilians."

We managed to get our hands on a menu from that dinner...I love it when a piece has a special story!
