Hi Allan,
A day of searching antique shops turned up some great old Nevada matchbooks . As always, I looked for all of them in The Gaming Table, even if it didn't seem likely that I'd find them.
To my surprise, I found a listing for "O.T.'s Drive In"!!! All it says, however, is Las Vegas, NV USA closed: yes
Here's the full address, assuming it's the same one:
O.T.'s Drive In
1731 North Main St.
No. Las Vegas, Nev.
phone 1815-M
In the same group of matchbooks was one from the •Playland Bar & Arcade (1943-1945), and one from the •Saddle Club (1944-1945), so I suspect that O.T.'s was circa 1944.
None of the others seem to be casino related...but I'll list them here, in case you're interested:
