A Golden Age Casino, California Club

A Golden Age Casino, California Club

In 1958 on the corner of First Street and Fremont Street the California Club opened its doors; at the time it was located in the Heart of Las Vegas.  With the train station located just a few short block away, 1950's Fremont Street was to Las Vegas what the Strip is today.  When the California Club was opened by owners Phil Long and George Milford they envisioned it as purely a casino without any hotel rooms.  Locals and tourists flocked to this casino and it successfully operated for fifteen years.

In 1973 the California Club was sold to Steve Wynn shortly afterwards it was combined with the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino.
