Vegas4Visitors Museum: The Mint (1957-1989)
The Mint was one of the most famous casinos along one of the most famous stretches of road in the world – Glitter Gulch, aka Fremont Street. The Mint opened in the 60s with this space age look and went through many incarnations through the next two decades. The casino survived until the 80s when it was purchased by and incorporated into next-door neighbor Binion’s Horseshoe.
