The Mint was a hotel and casino in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada. It was made famous for the 1st night's stay in Hunter S. Thompson's legendary 1971 trip to Las Vegas (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas). It opened in 1957 and closed in 1988. This design is part of our vintage Las Vegas retro throwback series. Iconic old school golden era Las Vegas locations of yesteryear, memorialized on our high quality apparel. Printed on our warm & cozy heavyweight unisex hoodie (hooded sweatshirt).
