Description: This is a great 50 cent fractional chip from the iconic Vegas Casino the Flamingo from the 1960's. It's in really great condition and merits a place in an epic casino chip collection. Grab it now! The Flamingo Hilton is now known as Flamingo Las Vegas which is a casino hotel on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. It is owned and operated by Caesars Entertainment. The Flamingo includes a 72,299 sq ft casino and a 28-story hotel with 3,460 rooms. The resort was originally proposed by Billy Wilkerson, founder of The Hollywood Reporter, who purchased the land in 1945. Early the following year, he partnered with a trio of mobsters to obtain financing. Among his partners was Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, who proceeded to take over the $1 million project, to Wilkerson's dismay. Construction costs rose under Siegel's management, with a final price of $6 million. The Flamingo's casino opened on December 26, 1946, followed by a three-story hotel on March 1, 1947. It is the oldest continuously operating resort on the Strip, and was the third to open there. Siegel was killed by an unknown shooter in June 1947, and numerous ownership changes would take place in the years to come. =========================================================== PLEASE READ REGARDING CONDITION AND BUSINESS BLAH BLAH BLAH: Casino chips and Vegas Vintage collectibles are my passion. While I enjoy selling these collectibles, I also love to pass on the enjoyment and passion for this amazing hobby to young and old alike. My home is Las Vegas and I enjoy learning the colorful history of this unique place! Please look closely at the photographs. Unless you see the words "stock photo," then the picture is of the item you will receive. When I am selling multiples of an item, it will be a photo of one of the items, and not necessarily the item you will receive, but will be a photo of a chip in the inventory. I guarantee you that you will receive a chip of the same or even better quality. I am a member of the Casino Collectibles Association (#R-9282) and am held to a high standard as a member. None of my chips have been professionally graded (except by me) but I am careful to take lots of pictures so you know exactly what you are getting. I use The Chip Rack condition rating system, and I price in accordance with the Chip Rack Price Guide, 22nd edition (SSS publishing and available on at: www.thechiprack.com) criteria, and also current market conditions. I try very hard to remain competitive with my prices. All my individual chips come in a protective coin case so there will be no damage. I have attempted to give accurate information regarding condition and to disclose any defects, stains, etc. I take plenty of pictures to give you an accurate idea of condition. Please look at the pictures! I typically take side 1, side 2, edge and in protective case pictures. My own personal condition rating is what you see, and it’s based upon the Casino Collectibles Association rating system (New, Slightly Used, Average, Well-Used and Poor). Keep in mind that the condition is in the eyes of the collector, so look closely at the photographs. If you are unhappy with a chip, I will refund your purchase price upon return. MY SHIPPING POLICY IS VERY SIMPLE: I ship by USPS Ground Advantage. If I receive payment by 2:00 PM Las Vegas time the shipment will go out that day. If payment received after that time it will be shipped the next business day, Saturday & Sunday or NOT BUSINESS DAYS. NOTE: I DO combine shipping on casino chip orders. Full postage for first chip, discount for each additional chip purchased at the same time. If EBay doesn't deduct postage, I will give you a refund on the extra postage. Please note, I am OCD careful with packing and shipping. All items come in bubble envelopes with bubble wrap or cardboard protectors. It costs a bit more to send, but I find it is worth it to take care. I use EBay calculated shipping, so your postage is collected by EBay and is based on your location. I make money on the product NOT on the shipping! If for any reason you are not happy with any item(s) you receive please contact me via EBAY messages. I will do my best to fix any problem, will refund your purchase price upon return of the item. Please take a look at my store for more great casino chips.
