Ranchinn Motor Lodge - Elko, NV

Look closely and you'll see the "Roy Linden and the Whippoorwills" are playing the 24-hour coffee shop.

Tam O'Shanter Motel - Las Vegas, NV

Zero in on the trio sitting by the pool. Looks like granny's a bit of a "third wheel" - and knows it.

Tiny's Motel - Reno, NV

Stunning design. My card was mailed February 16th, 1970 by an "MLB" to the Fabians in Lukasville, PA. Postage was 5 cents.

Roulette Motel - Reno, NV

A 1960s classic. It's really almost cheating to post my cards from Vegas or Reno, as they're usually the most dazzling of all motels.

Operated by the same folks who brought you the Hiway House chain of motels.

Suez Motel - Las Vegas, NV

This place used to be on the Las Vegas Strip! My card was sent July 17th, 1963 by Bob & Linda Radner to the Siccardis, whom they'd met a little earlier on their vacation in Boulder, CO. In 4 months JFK would be dead.

Cactus Pete's - Jackpot, NV

Located in the no-man's land of Northern Nevada, "Halfway between Twin Falls, ID and Wells, NV". It has a casino and a bar, and looks like a helluva place to park your Packard.
