Guggenheim Las Vegas, also known as the "Big Box," was a large temporary exhibition space located within The Venetian resort on the Las Vegas Strip, opening in October 2001 alongside the smaller Guggenheim Hermitage Museum.
Purpose: The coin likely served as a souvenir or memento for attendees of the opening events or exhibitions at the Guggenheim Las Vegas, such as "The Art of the Motorcycle" exhibit mentioned in one source as being associated with similar commemorative items.
Significance: This item represents a moment in the history of art and culture in Las Vegas, showcasing the Guggenheim Foundation's attempt to bring high art to the city's entertainment-focused environment.
Closure: The Guggenheim Las Vegas (the "Big Box" exhibition space) closed in 2003, while the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum closed later in 2008. This makes the commemorative coin a piece of history from a notable, though ultimately short-lived, artistic venture in Las Vegas.
