BREWERIANA: Main Street Station Shot Glass

It's safe to say I'm not a hard liquor drinker. That's not to say I've never drank the stuff but the reality is, it's simply not to my liking. That being said, picking up a shot glass souvenir occasionally is still an option. This shot glass comes from the Main Street Station Hotel and Casino here in Vegas and was bought ca1992-ish. At that time, we were still new to Vegas, and checking out the casinos and attractions and Main Street Station was actually a fairly short drive from the house. During this time in its history, the casino was owned by some real estate developer from Florida. He had some grandiose, but ill-advised, ideas for the casino. First of all he outfitted it with many antiques from his personal collection. Those were a treat to see I can tell you! But his mistake was equipping the casino with oddball games - the kind that are popular in Europe or Asia, but were unfamiliar to American gamblers and tourists. Eventually this miscalculation led to him filing bankruptcy and selling the casino. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
