LV Weekly, Wed, Jul 9, 2008:
Shark Club: When I asked a good friend, who is actually a pretty well-known and highly regarded member of this community, to name a club she missed, she didn’t hesitate. “The Shark Club.” Why? “I don’t know if it was actually so much fun there, but I can tell you I was a lot more fun there.” Located near the corner of Harmon Avenue and the Strip, the Shark Club was originally known as Jubilation when opening in 1978. Borrowing from Jerry Tarkanian’s nickname, it became the Shark Club in 1987 but closed a decade later as casino clubs like Club Rio began sucking away its patrons. But its legacy lives on as a breeding ground for some famous rock acts; No Doubt and Gin Blossoms played the Shark Club early in their careers.
