Today we are looking at the first of two tokens from my former employer, Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. Mandalay Bay opened on March 2, 1999 and I started working there about 10 months later.
This token's theme celebrates the Shark Reef, a full size aquarium that opened at Mandalay Bay on June 20, 2000.
These tokens have a tasty 0.60ozt silver center surrounded by a ring of brass. When I take them out of the airtite to photograph them I can hear the center piece rattle around inside that brass.
All the tokens I will be showing are a $10 value at the casino cage but they sell for well over $20 on the open market. I wonder if folks actually cashed these in for a crisp 10 dollar bill at the casino?
