I was hoping!
Will have to watch fleabay and craigslist and see who bought it all. I could see buying some selected items, but bidding on most everything?
Wow!

I visited a vegas sign warehouse for used signage a couple of years ago.
They signs without meters were going for 1k, and when they found out I just wanted the sign and did not want to contract them to make new plexi they were looking at adding a 20% premium to my purchase.

They did not get why someone would want a sign that has the name of another casino on it (in this case Ceasars) nor the fact that it was going to my basement.

1K by the way was a non starter. My top dollar was $300 and it was no where as big as any of these.

If someone had a place to store them and sell them at auction or to other casinos they could make good coin.

Well, the second sign auction is over and it took everything I had to not bid!! A few of those signs were excellent but just too damn big to fit in my gameroom.  bawling
The Pelican Rock Cafe sign came from the long gone Castaways Casino. (researched it) I was very close to buying that one but we never visited the Castaways so no sentimental value there. Gave up on buying one for the meters as they need a con1/2 to drive them and I have two standalones now.
There were more bids in this auction and several buyers unlike last week.

Heights310  +1 (Karma, or whatever)    for starting this post! Really think I got one of the nicest signs there that fits my gameroom.

Not a Craigs List.

Lots of really big Las Vegas casino signs looks like 2 auction dates.
Some cool stuff but way too big and far away for me to even think about it (well I did think about some)

Looks like we all missed out on the Treasure Island Pirate ship! Imagine this surrounded by slots machines.

Thanks Uniman, glad you got a nice topper.

I should have worked harder on getting some smaller ones from the first auction
but they told me they could not get them ready for shipping and to call an outside company to get them ready and a carrier could come and get them, just too many steps and so far away with no inspection before hand...

Looks like Fast Track in Vegas finally found some slots to auction off. Too bad they're slant top tournament machines.
Pickup only. Didn't see any fine print about who can buy them.
