What do you got?
For me, I have one of the layouts from the Mayweather/McGregor fight. Luckily it was very clean (might have been the one from the high limit table). Hopefully I can get it signed by both of them.

A pair of well made logoed cocktail glasses.
A "Cowlitz-Yes" T-shirt from back when the tribe was seeking support to build their casino near Portland.
My favorite: an envelope (mine) with the five grand I won from Spirit Mtn, my first hand pay.

Good thread idea!
I have door handles from the old Sahara. In case you don't remember, they were in an S shape and had colorful tiles along the S. I should post a picture of mine but until then, here is a picture of some below.
As I have mentioned before, I have a pretty darn good collection of $8 Chinese New Year chips from several casinos in Vegas that made them.
Finally, I own two forms of identification, a California driver's license and a press pass, from the late great Ken Uston.
Note how on the left door the two S's (do I use an apostrophe there?) face the same way. No wonder they went bankrupt.

I've got an original Ken Uston BJ Academy kit he used to send out in the late 70s.
Have lots of glass and plastic glass toppers from various machines. My favorite is a six foot header for a bank of Spider-Man slots. Disney owned slot characters are fairly rare.
Have a 1967 El Cortez giveaway jacket. Looks new, but it's a very small Large so I never wore it.

Sort of like that one. At the game nights I have to deal with those cheapo home poker chips. A gram or two less in weight but makes them way harder to handle. But at least they are flat sides. This one is as light and no grip on the side. Bleah.

Well, thanks to Hurricane Irma, I don't really have any memorabilia left. I also had lost some prior to the Hurricane.
I kept an issue of Grazia magazine featuring advertisements that appeal to the multimillionaires that frequented The Venetian.
I kept for quite awhile a simple two-page folded Gamblers Guide to the Venetian layout and thumb-nail description of the games.
I had a fake magazine reprint that featured my image on the cover (mercifully air brushed by the photobooth operator), one teenaged girl who stayed a week or so visiting my landlord discovered the magazine and did not realize the cigar, brandy and accompanying article were fake.
I had a cocktail set from the local Seminole place but I never used it.,
My favorite memorabilia is a magnetic giant clip from a Biloxi casino. At least I used it the most often of all my knick knacks.
Hurricane Irma can't erase my memories of Seminole Poker-like Carnival Games and the people I met there. Nor will I forget the dealer there who explained something to me about five aces and I thought he was making an apt comment about my character and honesty, instead of a situation that can actually take place in the game he was explaining.

Not casino memorabilia, but I think gambling memorabilia, I bought this off of eBay not knowing what it was, I just thought it was cool
Thanks to Boyimbo, I discovered that it was a board for the mostly forgotten game Pope Joan that was popular in the early 19th century.
I think it’s super old, but I don’t know for sure. I’m not sure what it’s worth, definitely more than I paid I think, but the game is so obscure I doubt it’s worth more than a few hundred.

When I was in my early 20s, I was at a casino (South Lake Tahoe maybe?) and noticed a video poker "Hold" button had popped off. The entire square base and the heavy plastic button! Nobody was near me in the area, so I wondered whether I should pocket it. I envisioned a bunch of goons jumping out were I to slip it in my pocket, but decided no, that's crazy thinking. So I picked it up and walked off with it. I didn't play video poker in those days, so now that I do, I'm glad I have it!
For an actual casino-branded piece, I bought a deck of cards from the Debbie Reynolds Hollywood Hotel-Casino back in the 90s when it was still in operation, though at that point they no longer offered blackjack or other table games. When she passed away, I decided to sell the cards because I had a lot of other souvenirs from there. I noticed that chips from the casino were on eBay, but not playing cards. But then, I noticed that a card was missing! I guess it's a piece to keep, unless someone wants to buy an incomplete deck!
By coincidence, I was at the Debbie Reynolds casino the day before all their slot machines were removed. My friend and I had played some slots (though no luck), and had a such great time looking at the memorabilia there that we returned the next day—and found all the slot machines were gone!

I have no idea how to spell it. I asked in a few game and toy stores in Germany for a game board but nobody understood what I was asking for. Trying to pronounce it and spell it didn't help. I know my German is worse than awful but it also may be the young folks who work in toy/game stores aren't familiar with antiquated card games their grandparents played. If you don't believe me, try to find anyone under the age of 40 who can play cribbage, which is a great game I might add.

The best are the players club cards. You put them all on one humungous key ring and everyone starts to believe you know all about brackets.
Went to one very poorly managed party at "my local" and my great wad of cards was a good conversation piece. Though why they seated someone with nine casino cards at a table with teachers educators who thought twenty dollars into a slot machine was gambling I have no idea.
