Tourists descend on an escalator to Las Vegas Boulevard after using the pedestrian overpass connecting the Treasure Island and the Venetian Hotel and Casinos. Overpasses like this have become a popular way of keeping tourists safe and traffic flowing on the Strip, but their expense and footprint make them difficult for all locations. Moving pedestrians along the Strip safely has become a major effort over the years.
The Patrick Meiklejohn Collection of Nevada Hotel and Casino Ephemera (1970s-1994) consists of 117 decks of casino and airline playing cards and casino marketing material and ephemera, including hats, keychains, bags, pens, napkins, and hotel room courtesy items.
Materials contain photographic slides of neon signs in Las Vegas, Nevada from 1923 to 1989. Materials include slides of hotels and casinos, wedding chapels, McCarran International Airport, and other local landmarks.
