Harvey and Llewellyn Gross built a one-room cabin at Lake Tahoe and opened Harvey's Wagon Wheel Saloon and Gambling Hall. It had three slot machines, two card tables and a lunch counter. Harvey was also meat wholesaler in Sacramento, CA. As tourism grew around Lake Tahoe, Harvey's also grew. In the 1960's, they added the first high-rise tower on the South Shore with 11 stories and 197 rooms. In 1983, Harvey died at the age of 78, the company continued under family management. In 1994, the company went public and began new projects. Today, Harvey's is owned by Vici Properties and is leased back to Caesar's Entertainment. The property is located at 18 US Route 50 in Stateline, Nevada. It features over 700 rooms, 6 restaurants, wedding chapel, pool, convention center, health club, video arcade, and an outdoor concert venue. Fun Fact #1: Harvey's and the Hard Rock Cafe founders joined together and built the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. What is a Silver Strike?A Silver Strike is a Limited Edition Gaming Token which is won from a special slot machine in a protective plastic holder. People from all over the world collect, buy, sell and trade these unique gaming tokens. The first Silver Strikes were won from special slot machines in the Reno/Tahoe area of Nevada in 1992. The tokens have been issued with redeemable values of $2, $3, $7, $10, $20, $28, $40, $200 and $300. The most common denomination is $10. Did you know that the older silver strikes have a higher silver content? As the price of silver increased, the silver content decreased. Today, many silver strikes are Clad - brass with heavy silver plating.
