Las Vegas Time Capsules

This may be a little off subject, but it does dovetail into my post "The Magic Scale." After reading the new Winslow Guide at http://www.dieiscast.com/ I began to think about Las Vegas time capsules.

Apparently, the Sands Time Capsule is still somewhere under the Venetian or as Dr. Schwartz points out, maybe in a former employee's garage.

I've often wondered what happened to the Desert Inn's time capsule, that was buried on its 50th Anniversary, just 3 months before the property was closed. When I was there I took pictures of the plaque and will post them if ever I run across them.

Here is a wonderful link from the Las Vegas Sun that focuses on famous Vegas Implosions, and mentions the DI capsule.

Not exactly a time capsule, but a very cool ritual, over at http://www.leavinglv.net/ they discovered old casino chips from the former property buried in the ripped up foundation of the now defunct Nevada Landing.

For the Las Vegas Centennial a few years ago in 2005 they buried a time capsule, and here is a link to that.

Moe Dalitz's http://www.1st100.com/part2/dalitz.html grave could be considered a permanent time capsule. That's not to say someday they won't dig him up and relocate him and his neighbors to make room for a casino/resort/condo project -- after all, this is Vegas.
