Here's a link to LIFE magazine photos; just click on it and type "Vegas" or "Casino" or "Nevada" or whatever into the search box...you can browse for hours!

Here's a few teasers...from Reno in 1942 (the site doesn't say which casino ...BUT, it could be the Bank Club, as there is a picture of the Bank Club's gambling license on the site, also from 1942, by the same photographer). Notice that the second picture is MEN only...must be the same place as the first picture???

Enjoy!
