For Sale is a Vintage Original 1970s MGM Grand Hotel Trainer Photo - Breaking Leo the Lion - During Daily Tourist Photo Shoot

 

Description:

 These Original Photo's were received from the Estate of a gentleman who worked for the MGM Hotel at the "Have your photo taken with Leo the Lion" Kiosk in the 1970's. This was a gimmick to allow patron's to have their picture taken with Leo as a souvenir from their trip to the MGM. For some amount of money you could stand next to this 400lb killing machine and get your picture taken with him (while secretly hoping to not become lunch).... Very Exciting! 
How things have changed

During each day's Photo sessions the trainers would periodically break Leo and play with him to alleviate the boredom and keep him happy. I was told by this gentleman's wife that these photo's were from her husband, kiosk employees, taking pictures of Leo for themselves while playing with the trainers and/or stately candid moments they were fortunate enough to capture on film.

At the time of listing, we have 7 of these 8"x 10" photo's for your consideration (this listing is for the Single photograph shown above). The last picture shown is an example of what a patron would receive as a souvenir when purchasing a Photo from the Kiosk. It is an example only and is not included in this listing.

Condition- Photo is in Very Good Condition, no obvious creases or bends. Photo has 1 light "line indent" about 1" long, just to the right of the hook of the cane, a couple light, small impressions, none of which can be seen head on, visible only when angled into a light source. May have VERY minor indent's, VERY minor soiling from age. Nothing you can see without close observation. Great Frame-able Vintage Photograph!
