NS (W. D. Shoulders) $5 TR King Casino Chip!

Today we talk about another interesting/slightly mysterious TR King chip that was manufactured back in the early 1950s. This chip was order from TR King by someone named W.D. Shoulders on February 15th of 1951. The order card that I got information with says that there were 2000 of these $5 chips ordered. They were "crown dash heavy weight NC" so they are leaded 100% and the first TRK that has sparkled when certain light hits it. That is just next level! But, are these chips from the Lyon Hotel in Yerington, the El Rancho or El Cortez in Vegas?? What kind of connection did W.D. Shoulders have with Vegas other than living here and what kind of connection did he have with the Lyon Hotel in Yerington. That's the information I'm after and I've been thinking about the last week/since I received the chip. Any information would be greatly appreciated!
