Conundrum.... sad

El Cap Elko is in the 1947 phone book, not in 1945 or 1950

El Cap Elko is listed on an ashtray WITH El Cap Haw.

TGT & Fuller say El Cap Haw. opened in 1952

1945 state-wide-ish phone book lists El Cap Club 541 F St. Haw. phone 15
1950-1955 state-wide-ish phone books list El Cap Restaurant 541 F St. Haw. phone 225; there are display ads, gaming is not mentioned

Why did the phone number go from 15 to 225 (I know it was NOT because they stopped using 2 digit numbers)? Did the Club close and reopen as a restaurant? When were Elko and Haw open at the same time? Did Haw. open as a club/restaurant without gaming, then get a casino license in 1952?

See what you started with your new tray? rofl
