CNN.com: Whoops! Stamp features Vegas babe, not New York lady

The U.S. Postal Service on Friday confirmed that the image was of the statue at the New York-New York Hotel & Casino, a fact that was made known to them by a stamp collector a few weeks ago.

But, attempting to make the best of an embarrassing situation, the Postal Service said it would have picked the image anyway, and it said news of the mistake has added enthusiasm to the stamp-loving masses.

I don’t believe for a second that they would have used this image if they had known.  If you look at the windows on the crown, they’re clearly painted in.
