The Nevada Club was licensed by the City of Las Vegas in July, 1953. (before that it was the Santa Anita Turf Club) The Nevada Club went thru an ownership change in 1954, and then on 1955 it would be taken over by Robert Van Santen who was running the Fortune Club. Then in October of 1955 the two clubs were merged under one name, The Nevada Club, which was followed by another name change “Diamond Jim's Nevada Club” (still Van Santen) and one more name change “The Lucky Nevada Club” which it expanded into the building that housed the Lucky Strike Club.

Then in 1969…it closed….Golden Nugget took over and continued its westward expansion until it controlled the entire south side of the 100 block of Fremont.

On one side the inlay appears as it should but on the other side, there appear to be two (2) printing errors. The first is that the black ink is printed low, causing the A to drop down and the words "Gold Chip Player" to overlap "Las Vegas". The second is that yellow ink (used to create the correct hues in each color) is missing, resulting in off colors.
