(Del Webb’s, 1966-1989): If only we could go back in time, to 1970. This ad was in one of the tourist papers from July: “Don’t go home without seeing the Mint ‘Behind the Scenes’ Tour that a half-million viewers thrill to annually. Right past the guard into the Money Counting Room (more than $1-million processed daily), an inside look at the famed “one-armed bandits” and down through the Eye-In-The-Sky for a candid peek at casino players and dealers in action below. Even a 25-story scenic ride in the Mint’s glass outside elevator to the Top of The Mint food and fun spot.” We’ve taken the glass elevator up to The Top of The Mint for dinner, it would be fun to take the rest of the tour, too!
