70 years ago this year,from the May 26, 1947 feature “LAS VEGAS STRIKES It RICH—Nevada town cashes in on its major industries: Gambling, and Liquor,Marriage and Divorce.” The article took a closer at the popularity of post-war Las Vegas and opened the fable with this image. The original caption: “GAMBLING HORSE was employed by the Hotel El Rancho Vegas to entertain the customers. Horse clumps up to the roulette table, pushes a chip onto a number with his nose. He is called "the only gambling horse in the world” and is named Lucky Silver. Despite these qualifications this time he nudged his chip onto the improper number.“ (Jon Brenneis—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #LasVegas #horsesofinstagram #tbt
