A.I. is a miracle in many ways, but it’s often not great when it comes to Las Vegas, including details around the famous Silver Slipper sign.<\/p>\n

A.I. (artificial intelligence, if you’ve been living under a rock) is all over the place about this classic sign (and a similar slipper sign often mistaken for the real thing), so we’re here to set the record straight.<\/p>\n

They’re called slow news days. You’ll live.<\/p>\n

This is not the Silver Slipper sign. First hint: Not silver, at all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The sign from the classic Silver Slipper casino is awesome. It’s a throwback to when signs were iconic, immediately recognizable, unlike today’s interchangeable LED screens.<\/p>\n

First, to fluff this story up a bit, some exposition. Don’t judge. Everyone’s second favorite Las Vegas movie, “Casino,” started with 20 minutes of exposition. Everybody loves the movie so much, they don’t talk about the narration overload from Sam (Robert De Niro) and Nicky (Joe Pesci), but damn.<\/p>\n

The Silver Slipper opened on September 1, 1950 and closed on November 28, 1988.<\/p>\n

See? That’s how you do exposition. Short and sweet.<\/p>\n

The Silver Slipper sign was saved and ultimately restored. It’s on display near the Neon Museum.<\/p>\n

Like most things in Vegas, it’s better at night. Sorry.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But here’s where things go sideways.<\/p>\n

There’s another slipper out there. A lot of people, including all-knowing A.I., believe that slipper is the Silver Slipper despite the fact, as mentioned, it’s not silver.<\/p>\n

The ruby slipper, located in the Fremont East district, is a homage to the Silver Slipper’s slipper.<\/p>\n
