Help on these old clubs not in Gaming Table

Here are 5 matchcovers from an old Nevada collection. I believe all are from the 1930's. There aren't exact listings for these places in The Gaming Table, although a couple are close:


  • Yucca Club is listed on Charleston, not Boulder Highway.

  • Dick's bar is not listed but Dick's Place is, a few doors down the street.

  • There are dozens of Bank Clubs, but I don't see this one in Winnemucca.

  • There is a Tivoli Bar in Las Vegas, but no Tivoli Tavern. I think this has been discussed on the bb before but I don't remember the conclusion.

  • Interesting that Mission Bar & Casino is listed as "La Vegas". Is this a misprint, or is La Vegas an alternative name for Las Vegas? In any case, Mission Bar is not listed in TGT. To date this one, King Midas Match Co. is a defunct match company that was located in Los Angeles, CA, and was taken over by Universal Match Corp. around 1942.

Would appreciate any history or speculation on these places as having gaming of some time in the old days.
