The Mint: Coining your pleasure

The Mint as it acutally looked after its highrise opened in 1965. There are a few notable differences in the tower's design.

This page features photos of the Mint Hotel and Casino, which Binion's Horseshoe absorbed in 1988. Most are undated and from the mid-1960s, before, during, and after the Mint's highrise addition was constructed.

For more information, see the Mint history page.

This menu cover featured a stylized rendering of the Mint's facade.
