Chesterfield Club Detroit, Michigan Type: Illegal Status: Closed Open: 1924, Close: 1943 Chesterfield Club - an illegal gambling establishment owned by George Weinbrenner, Dan Sullivan and Lincoln Fitzgerald. It was protected by Detroit's "Purple Gang" for almost 20 years.. CC also used at Nevada Lodge. Was located on Gratiot just south of Ten Mile Road in East Detroit (Now East Pointe). It operated from 1924-1943. The Chesterfield was deliberately set up to simulate the look of a repair garage. Free buses and taxi's would pick up patrons at special locations along Gratiot in Detroit. They would pull inside the establishment, the door would close and the gambling room was upstairs. As an illegal gaming spot, they manged to stay open from 1924 - 1943, a long time for an illegal club. In 1946, Fitzgerald opened the Nevada Club in Reno, Nevada. The Nevada Club closed in 1998 About Illegal Casinos - by their nature, information about illegal, or unlicensed, casinos is hard to find and difficult to verify. Information presented on the ChipGuide about these casinos is provided as the result of our best efforts but may not be 100% accurate. Even if the information is accurate, gamblers move around and may take their equipment with them; items used in one casino may have also been used in others. Please send verified information about illegal casinos to the ChipGuide so that we may improve our accuracy.
