The Landmark opened in 1969 as Las Vegas' tallest building, and came crashing down in a planned implosion in 1995 to make room for a Convention Center parking lot.

During much of its brief history all of the Vegas casinos routinely produced both clay chips of various denominations, and metal tokens for use in dollar slot machines. The latter became very minor profit centers, as they were frequently saved and taken home as souvenirs by gamblers.
