BACK AROUND 15 YEAR'S AGO THE CLUB 5O CAFE, MOTEL, RV PARK, GIFT SHOP, CASINO WAS UP FOR SALE AT A GREAT BARGAIN PRICE.... LOCATED IN MC GILL, NEVADA JUST OUTSIDE OF ELY ON HWY. 93. .... A LONG TIME AREA LANDMARK FOR GREAT STEAKS, LIVE MUSIC, AND A NICE LONG BAR WITH SLOTS ... IT HAD BEEN CLOSED FOR SEVERAL YEAR'S. A BIG PIECE OF PROPERTY WITH TRUCKER PARKING ACROSS THE STREET AND RAILROAD TRACKS. ON ONE SIDE WAS A 2 STORY OWNERS HOIUSE AND A SMALLER HOUSE FOR RENTAL INCOME. IN THE REAR OF THE CAFE BUILDING WERE 2 SMALL APTS. FOR THE HELP TO LIVE IN. THE INSIDE HAD BEAUTIFUL WOODEN PLANK FLOORS AND A FULL BASEMENT .... LARGE FIREPLACE IN THE DINING AREA & BAR ... BEHIND THE BAR WAS ANOTHER ENTRANCE TO A GIFT, SNACK SHOP ... BARGAIN PRICED FOR AROUND $225K. OR SO ... 2 OTHER FRIENDS AND I WERE VERY SERIOUS ABOUT BRINGING CLUB 50 BACK TO LIFE. WE TALKED TO THE NOW YOUNG OWNER WHO HAD AN AUTOMOTIVE BUSINESS IN ELY ... HE WAS MOTIVATED $$$ TO SELL! ... THE ANNUAL LIQUOR LICENSE WAS ABOUT $25! ... WOW A BARGAIN ... I WENT TO THE COUNTY CLERKS OFFICE AND MET WITH A SUPER SWEET ELDERLY LADY ... I ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LICENSE, GAMING AND AS TO WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PLACE AND HOW COME IT CLOSED ETC. SHE CONFIDED IN ME THAT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE USED TO SIT OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT AND ARREST ALOT OF THE PATRONS WHO DROVE OUT TO MC GILL FROM ELY TO EAT, DRINK AND PLAY ... LOT'S OF D.U.I.'S! ... THE BIG MEN IN ELY WHO OWNED THE OTHER JOINTS DID NOT WANT ANY COMPETITION .... APPARENTLY THE POLICE WERE IN FAVOR OF THE ELY BOY'S WHO OWNED THE TOWN. ... WELL THAT CHANGED MY MIND AND PROBABLY SAVED ME FROM A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH! .... I FOUND THIS NEAT OLD CALENDAR IN THE BASEMENT OFFICE ... TOO BAD I ALMOST BECAME A CASINO MOGUL+ ..... THANKS FOR READING THIS POST ... YOUR COMMENTS ARE MOST WELCOMED! .... RICH BURGEL
