Commercial Casino Elko

I worked in Elko back in 1980 and went to the Commercial Casino a few times. And I was always impressed with the size of the Mule Deer mounts that were hanging on the walls in the lobby. The one I remember most was a huge non-typical with huge double drop tines that were shaped like tear drops. It come off of the Ruby mountains I think. Does anybody happen to have any pictures of those Bucks especially that drop tine buck? I sure would like to see them again. I think their was maybe a half dozen or so of them on the wall.

I live in the area and will stop by the commercial to see if they are still there. I can send you pics if I can find them.

Well any news? Thanks for the effort .
 
That place had a bunch of truly amazing bucks all through the casino back in the eighty's.
I was in there about 10 years ago and there wasn't a single one to be found.
The Commercial used to be a fun place, but it ain't nothing like it once was.
 
Lots of the old mounts and pictures were lost a number of years ago in the hotl-caino fire there.

Are they some of the same that are at the museum? I don't recall any mounts in the Commercial last time. There are some at JRs and the places in Lamoille
 
I don't know about the commercial but one of the best bucks I've seen was in the northeast Nevada museum in Elko. 43-44 wide, shot right across the road from Harmon's in Ruby Valley. Walt Gardner's dad killed in in the 50s.

To bad I would always spend time in the Commercial when going through Elko on past hunting trips to Idaho would eat at the Star and other fun things to do in Elko
