Here is one of mine from the web (www.evelknievel.com):

In 1967, Evel Knievel put the fountains at Caesars on the international map. It would be a month before he woke up after the wreck.

When I posted my Caesars Palace chip at the end of March, I provided this link to the video of that jump/wreck.

Thanks for citing the source. I admit I have forgotten to do this at times, but let's try to give proper credit when using other site's photos.

aceofspades: Your "Sourced from" link points to this very thread at WizardofVegas.com, rather than the site it states.

Wow that craps picture is great. Do any casinos still have anything like that anymore? Or even for blackjack?

I think they still have swim up blackjack at several places (Tropicana, Caesars, Mirage, Hard Rock, Golden Nugget??). The "floating" craps game was a publicity stunt that got shut down pretty quickly. Reportedly, dice off the table, and keeping wagers straight on a rocking table were a real problem.
