VINTAGE UNION PLAZA CASINO NCV 5 PAN TOURNAMENT CHIP 1980'S RED

Description: This is a NCV 5 chip from the 1980's and is table used. It rarely comes up for sale, so grab it while it's here! The hotel was built on the station site by Upland Industries (Union Pacific's real estate division), along with the Scott Corp, headed by Frank E. Scott. The hotel opened on July 1, 1971, with the casino opening at midnight, being managed by a team of local casino executives including Sam Boyd, Jackie Gaughan, JK Houssels Jr, and Bill Boyd. It was advertised as the largest casino in the world. With 504 rooms, Plaza's hotel was the same size as Fremont Hotel and merely a third of the size of The International Hotel & Casino, but Plaza contained the largest casino floor in Las Vegas at 66,000 square feet. Before the discontinuation of the Desert Wind train route on May 10, 1997, Amtrak built its Las Vegas station directly connected to the hotel. It was the only train station in the United States located in a casino. The Las Vegas Greyhound bus station was also located at the Plaza from the hotel's opening until management terminated the lease and the station moved on February 23, 2021. The Union Plaza became the Plaza Hotel and Casino. The Union Plaza played a major role in the 1992 movie Cool World.
