Publically viewable vault in Las Vegas ?

I'm going to be in Las Vegas in May, does anyone know if there is a good round door I could look at / photograph in any public buildings there ?

I am not sure you will find anything as that town didn't really start until the 1940-50s in any big way. It wasn't until after the Hoover Dam was built that there was enough water near by to support anything.

The vault doors you want to see, you can't as they are built in secure areas of the casinos. I was escorted into a command and control once but only for a few min and I got to see the vault.... on the screen.

I seem to recall that someone mentioned that an antique door was used as a feature in a casino ??

The Crocker Club looks rather high-end (pricey, with a strict dress code) and is just a bar. The vault door pictured on their web site looks like a Mosler; after grabbing the image and running it through some image processing it's just barely possible to read "The Mosler Safe Co." around the top of the winding door, and "Hamilton, O." around the bottom.

I've seen the vault at the atomic test range (from inside the tour bus). The concrete damage was spectacular but the door was nothing much to look at.

The Blue Water Grill does state they have a bank vault for private dining, but that's only at the New York location; they have a restaurant in Las Vegas but no mention of a vault. I've not found any pictures of the NY location.

Most here probably know about the Mosler vault at the atomic test site in Nevada. I ran across a video of the vault before it was subjected to the blast. Go to Youtube and search for "Mosler Safe at the Nevada Test Site".
