Janice’s Metal Room Key
Solid, stamped metal — the kind casinos used before digital cards took over. In The Showgirl, this key becomes a crucial clue in the tense search-and-rescue scene, where every second counts.
Janice’s MGM Baggage Tag
Embossed with the golden MGM lion — a token usually reserved for high rollers and Hollywood names. Janice wasn’t either. She earned hers under the spotlight, sequins flashing. It was the tag on her suitcase the night she moved into the MGM — a small emblem of arrival, and the start of everything that followed.
Hallelujah Hollywood Program
An original souvenir from the legendary revue that filled Vegas showrooms with feathers, sequins, and brass-band spectacle. Janice performed in this show — her high-kicking routines and backstage stories from Hallelujah Hollywood became the spark for some of The Showgirl’s most dazzling moments.
Keno Ticket and Crayon
A snapshot of the 1980s gaming floors, when runners like Latisha hustled between tables calling out numbers and checking tickets by hand. Players marked their choices with wax crayons — exactly as they do in the novel.
MGM Grand Postcards
Authentic postcards from the MGM Grand as it appeared during Janice’s residency — before the fire, before the rebranding — when the hotel stood as the pinnacle of luxury and spectacle. These images anchor key moments in The Showgirl, preserving the look and feel of the Vegas that once was.
$1 Slot Tokens from Iconic Casinos
Each of these heavy brass and silver tokens comes from a legendary resort of the showgirl era — the Stardust, the Dunes, Caesars Palace, and more. Once spun through the machines that defined Vegas nightlife, they now echo a time when every pull of the handle carried a jolt of glamour and chance.
$25 MGM Gaming Chip
The chips that sparked the romance — when a pair of these traded hands for something far more alluring. Their distinctive color and crisp edges marked a level above the casual player. In The Showgirl, this moment wasn’t just an exchange of chips, but the first flicker of chemistry.
$5 MGM Slot Token
The same tokens Janice used after profiting from her hustle with Jim — heavier, smoother, and distinctly more prestigious than the standard $1 chips. These $5 tokens carried weight in more ways than one: cool to the touch, finely milled, and gleaming with the MGM's stamp of luxury.
