Additional Details:
Designed by owners Carroll and Jerry Eaton as a tribute to Virginia City's once great Silver Mining industry - an industry whose production stabilized the Federal treasury during the Civil War and later altered the World's monetary structure - the Silver Queen's dress contains 3,261 Silver Dollars. The belt alone contains 28 twenty dollar gold pieces. While only a few of the coins are of Nevada (Carson City) mintage, a large percentage of them undoubtedly contain silver that was first mined thousands of feet beneath this very building. One of Nevada's most unusual Casino displays
