Memorabilia

My husband and I are building a new house, move in mid August. I am packing and came across this in our storage area. I know I got it pre 1999 as I remember my Mum buying me a drink that included the glass.

 

Oooh, I'll play.

Love the bling on that glass, @breanna61. Nice memory of your mum. Best wishes with happy days ahead in your new house.


A couple of beer schooners from an Imperial Palace giveaway back in the day. Circa 2003 or so.




And a Caesars Palace Chalice from about 2010, I believe. Looks nice with some fresh-cut flowers in it too. Just a lei today.

 

I have a coffee cup from each resort I've stayed at in Vegas.

 

This is my daily used coffee mug from the 1990's. I don't remember much about acquiring it, as I know I didn't get a players card. I had a collection of coin cups, but got rid of those years ago. I love Brianna's drink glass - nice colors.

 

A couple of Luxor items from approx. 1995. Although I haven’t ever stayed there I treasure these ....long story.

 

that was from a coupon in a fun book they used to have. i think i still have a couple in the cup cabinet but i'd have to check as i don't drink coffee or tea.

 

One of my mom's sisters was sooooooo bad for stealing glasses, mugs, cups, whatever off the tables. Used to absolutely mortify my mother. She used to wrap whatever it was in a napkin and then put it in her purse. If/when she ran out of room she'd stick it in your purse if you weren't paying attention! She'd pretend to bum a smoke or she needed a mirror and IN the purse it went. It became a joke to hand my mother something ridiculous from a restaurant, when she wasn't paying attention and tell her to put it in her purse. She'd start opening up her purse and then get mad. Hilarious.

 

Campion!!!

 

That sounds familiar, using a Fun book coupon.

 

Most of my mementos are unopened decks of cards and matchbooks

 

I haven’t got it yet, but I plan to order a “We’re All Mad Here” cocktail from upper Chandelier Bar level next trip and steal the assorted glasses with the Drink Me and Eat me cute tags on them. Lol My daughter collects that stuff and I promise to leave enough to cover the stolen goods.
Congratulations on the new house Breanna! With all the changes and improvements we are making to our “new” home, we may have just been better off to build. The only reason we didn’t, is I did not have the budget to put in an inground pool right away, as it was over $60,000 for what I wanted. The home we bought already had it. There was no way I was moving without a pool.

 

That does sound familiar. I must have read about it when I was a kid.

 

I have a bunch of those.
You got them for "applying for a card to get a card".
The Sands was one of the first to track players. But you had to earn a players card.
They gave you a punch card, if you earned enough pts. you then qualified for the regular card.

 

I'll play! Lol. As I'm still unpacking boxes, pulled these out yesterday.

 

Have had this for 20 years, keep it in the guest bathroom

 

Mirage pool cups. What, me an alcoholic??

 

I have a few items, no pics right now, but may add later if I can find them. A glass drink cup from MGM Grand when we saw Tom Jones. (Think that’s in the shed) Lots of $1 chips from places long gone now. A few matchbooks from a long time ago. Also some logo cups from Orleans a while ago. I did have some from IP, but put them in the dishwasher after bringing them home. I ended up with two abstract lumps of plastic. Lesson learned.

 

I’ll add one more. It’s where we keep our spare keys.

 

I believe that we are all guilty of collecting memorabilia.
