World Trade Center $1 Casino Chip
The
WORLD TRADE CENTER was located at 901 Desert Inn Road.
This 225 room casino
was build by Leonard Shoden at the cost of $25,000,000.00 during the mid 1990s.
Mr Shoden was the founder of U-haul Rental Company and was always his dream to
own a casino.
Now lets go back a few years. The casino was built, the hotel
was open with guests and the restaurants were serving food.
The gaming license
was applied for and approved. They were days away from opening. The casino was
filled with table games, blackjack, roulette and craps. Slots lined the walls.
Employees were hired and approved by the control board. Then, with a few days
to go, Mr Shoden was found dead! He had just left the casino and was on his way
home. Still to this day the mystery is Unsolved.
