Our cheerful master chef once welcomed diners at a major Las Vegas casino hotel, and the 1947 Harley-Davidson knucklehead is a legendary model, highly sought after by motorcycle enthusiasts.




This tawny mountain lion was a pet kept by a former manager of the hotel, who used to walk her on a leash. She lived a long and happy life and when she passed away, she was placed above the elevator where she still keeps watch for her old master.




There are Larry Bute murals in the halls of every floor in the hotel. This energetic and colorful tribute to White Pine County is on the 5th floor.
