I agree./ Headquarters 4001ST AIR BASE SQUADRON United States Air Force Gray Air Force Base, Killeen, Texas General Manager 15 February 1957 The Sands Hotel Las Vegas, Nevada Dear Sir: We are a small Air Force Base and are attempting to set up club facilities for base personnel, including Monte Carlo Nite type social activities. Our present facilities are small and quite unpretentious and it is our general idea to add decorations along the lines of a Las Vegas casino atmosphere. It would be of great help to us in this project if we could secure some house dice, no longer being utilized, and advertising media such as posters and handbills. We had in mind casino dice, handbills and posters depicting scenes of Las Vegas in general and your hotel and casino in particular. Perhaps you would be able to supply us with some colorful match covers from your club. The above is all we can think of that you might have available, but, to be sure, we would appreciate whatever other items you might be able to supply to us which would suit our project. We feel that this will prove valuable not only to us, in our venture, but also to your establishment in an advertising capacity, since the majority of people who will be visiting our club would be possible prospective patrons for you. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter . Since we were hoping to have our first Monte Carlo Nite soon, we would appreciate receiving this material as soon as possible. Sincerely, Entertainment Committee
