A little history about the Grand Victorian Gambling parlour token
Here is a private email I received from Janice O'Neal concerning the tokens.

"Hi Bruce, What a find. Those tokens are not supposed to exist!! The Grand Victorian Gambling Parlour was originally to be the name of the Alystra Casino across from Tom's Sunset in Henderson. The name was changed before the casino ever opened. No explanation was ever given for the last minute name change.
I would very much like to buy one if you are going to put any up for sale."

Grand Victorian Gaming Parlour
333W. Sunset Rd. Henderson, NV
Art work sent to Gaming 5/18/95
Art work approved by Gaming 5/19/95
Gaming received samples 6/12/95
Gaming approved samples 6/13/05

The token offered here is one of the few samples sent to gaming for their approval.

The Grand Victoria was never opened, rumor has it that the owner went bankrupt.
The Alystra Casino opened on the property in 1995 and closed in 1998.

The seven $1 Excalibur tokens are in uncirculated condition. They were purchased the night The Excalibur opened.
