Our latest treasure is a 1939 phone book for the state of Nevada...
I know some folks think it's odd to be excited over an old phone book, but it's such fun to look at!
Bits of trivia...
The Las Vegas white pages were only 3 1/2 pages long!!
Listings in Las Vegas include

Barrel House at 22 Fremont,
Boulder Club,
Double O Bar at 217 N. 1st,
Exchange Club at 123 S. 1st (listed in TGT as 1931-c.1937),

Fun stuff...
Carson City was only 2 1/2 pages...don't I remember you asking about a Capital Club? There's one listed at 420 N. Carson (phone 82).
