Ask LasVegasLynn > Sage & Sand Motel
I have a picture of a post card of the Motel. It was owned by George McConkey who was my favorite keno player of all-time. He used to play several days a week at the Golden Gate Casino in the 70's. His wife would walk across the street and play Keno at the old Holiday Casino. He was a wonderful person and I still think about him all of the time. Write me at my email address and I will send you a copy of the postcard.

As A child, my brother and I could always count on a summer vacation to the sage and sands. My grandfather, John C. Nelson and his partners owed the Sage and Sand Motel and they sold it to Caesars in the early 80's. Would like to see your postcard.

Did Mr. Nelson buy it out after McConkey died in 1979

No he owned it much earlier then the 70's. I would say early 1960's. My email address is wytracy@aol.com. Can't wait to see the post card.
