”Las Vegas Club, 1931-1949: In 1930 the Las Vegas Club opened at 21-23 Fremont Street as a “smokeshop”. In 1931, when gambling was legalized they received one of the first Las Vegas gaming licenses. Joe Morgan and Mayme Stocker were among the first owners of the club, though there have been many different owners over the years. In 1940, the Las Vegas Club claimed to be the largest club in the world’s busiest little city. They offered roulette, 21, craps, racehorse keno, keno, faro bank, wheel of fortune, pan, poker, and direct wire to all major racetracks. In 1949 the Las Vegas Club moved across the street, to its present location.”
