Tangerine Nightclub Silver From Treasure Island

avatar

Today has been a beautiful day here in southern California. Not too hot, not too cold, just nice and sunny. There was a bit of an earthquake yesterday, which I didn't even feel. That happens a lot I find, unless it's big I don't really notice them. I wasn't real sure if I would post today because I didn't really have anything in mind. Then I did some digging and realized I have a nice Silver Strike token I haven't shared here on Hive yet.

Silver Strike tokens can be won by playing Silver Strike slot machines in casinos. They used to be almost everywhere but are a very scarce item anymore with just a few casino in Las Vegas who still have them. They are solid silver or brass, and playing the machines you weren't too likely to win. The casino never likes to lose money, so these are best collected second hand. eBay is a great place to find them these days!

Typically I like to collect these tokens from casinos that are defunct. It's like collecting part of Las Vegas history. Sometime back I bought a group of Treasure Island Hotel & Casino silver strike tokens off of eBay and got a really good deal. None were in pristine condition, but they were still cool. Some had the jolly roger (skull and cross bones, pirate flag) which was the old insignia which is really what prompted the buy. However, this one kind of has a sexy look which I've always liked. Have a look:

About the token:


From silverstrikers.com

I've always liked the legs on this token, advertising the Tangerine Nightclub they once had at Treasure Island. It's about 0.6 Troy ounces of solid silver surrounded by a brass ring. That's really what I like best about it, the silver! These really are fun to collect but can become addictive, just an advance warning.

Although the casino isn't defunct this nightclub is most definitely only a memory. Once fashion shows were hosted there by stars like Michelle Rodriguez and Carmen Electra, but nothing lasts forever in Las Vegas. That could be said especially in the case of nightclubs. New ones are opened all the time and the old ones slowly die.

I never visited the Tangerine when it was open, and to be honest I've not been a nightclub kind of guy since I lived in Puerto Rico. Back in those days I mostly went to salsa/merengue nightclubs, those were fun days! I'm sure the Tangerine must have been a fun place back in it's early years. Did anyone here ever visit the the club?

That will wrap up my post for today. I hope you enjoyed the token, while it's not my favorite one it's still pretty cool. Please feel free to leave any questions or comments below and thank you for all of your support. It really is greatly appreciated. Have a great day!

They're hard to find at decent prices anymore, they really have become noticeably more expensive the last couple of years. I'm glad I bought when I did! lol

I've not done the nightclub scene in years and never plan to again. I have enough hearing loss from the military!

That's why I don't gamble! lol

Back in the day I would play black jack, but ninety percent of the time I walked away with much more money than I started by playing smart. Now I wouldn't even do that!

Oooh, that one is a bit racy! 😃 I think it's crazy just how often they refresh the spaces inside of the big casinos like this. Places seem to come and go all the time. I remember the Diablo restaurant that used to be in the Monte Carlo, then the next time I visited, it was gone I think.

Nothing lasts too long there for sure. The reason I've hung onto this one is it's a bit racy and fits Vegas perfectly! Things come and go in that town, I used to visit about once a year but I honestly haven't gone in years now. I keep intending to drive up but the thought of dealing with the traffic just to get to the I-15 freeway is always a nightmare. Way too many people live in southern California!

I can't even imagine what the traffic is like there. I road through the traffic in San Francisco one time and that was crazy enough for me.

Traffic is insane in southern California. You have to plan to drive at the off peak hours and carefully choose which freeway you take. And then there can always be an accident that stops up traffic. The joys of nice weather and overcrowding! lol

Salsa and merengue are a lot of fun. There are some places around here but they tend to be in parts of town I generally avoid...
