Las Vegas is the gathering place for thousands of
people who seek thrills, excitement and entertainment.
For several hundred people the Riviera Hotel and
Casino held a far different kind of excitement from the
mere clatter of coins tumbling out of a slot machine or
the raucous cheers of the "winners" at the crap tables.
It was the scene of the 9th Annual Victorian Casino
Antique
Auction.
Don
Mudd,
a
silver-tongued
auctioneer from Houston, Texas, deftly led the buyers
from item to item. When the interest began to wane or
wander, Don wove tales as masterfully as the story
tellers of old.
The auction began Saturday morning at 10:00; the
first item placed for bid was a box containing signs,
photos
and
punchboards.

auction
continued
through the day until the scheduled 4:00 p.m. At least
400 lots were handled the first day. There could have
been more as there were a number of "A" "B" and "C"
lots.
The auction itself was a thing of beauty as it moved
smoothly from start to finish. The Arringtons — Betty,
Debbie and Roy — displayed theircharm and hospital
ity to each bidder and his/her guest. A complimentary
buffet, which can only be described as sumptuous, was
served both days. An auction that everyone should
attend, at least once in a lifetime, is the Victorian
Casino Antique Auction.
The list which follows is obviously a partial list of the
lots. We tried to select a cross section of items hoping
to appease everyone's appetite for auction results.
