After George Cannon sold out at Stateline Tahoe he migrated to beautiful Jackpot, Nevada. Started George and Tex's Gateway Club. Not sure who Tex was, but would like to know. They opened in 1959 and closed the same year. Anybody know where George Cannon went from there?
Later, I think, Garth Wilkins opened Diamond Jim's at the same site...Not so sure about Garth, but do know the Club occupied the same spot.
At any rate, this has to be an extremely rare shot. It is a messed up tourist shot, but it is all I have seen to actually photographically document this places existence.
You will want to thank ALLAN MYERS for this great piece of Nevada memoribilia.
