Silver Slipper Casino (Las Vegas)
Opened in 1950, the casino was built on the grounds of the Last Frontier Village of the Hotel Last Frontier, and was originally named the Golden Slipper Saloon and Gambling Hall. After a
name infringement issue was raised by the owners of downtown's Golden Nugget Casino the Golden Slipper was forced to change its name - which it did by becoming the
Silver Slipper.
This casino was known for its rotating slipper which sat atop the building.
During it's influential 38-year reign, people like
Howard Hughes and
Margaret Elardi owned this property. Eventually it closed its doors in 1988.

Silver Slipper Casino DecksI've seen these decks in the following colors:
- Maroon
- Black
- Blue (Teal)
- Green
There could possibly be more colors (you never know!), but I am not aware of them.
Judging by the stamps on boxes, white-bordered Silver Slipper decks were most likely printed between 1965 and 1976. Check the Ace of Spades for exact dates. Most of the time, you'll find these decks canceled. But if you're lucky, you'll find them uncancled. If the moon and stars align, you'll find them sealed in
As Issued condition.
Hope that helps.
