La Bayou, Casino in Downtown Las Vegas, US
La Bayou was a casino in downtown Las Vegas located on Fremont Street Experience, housing around 125 slot machines in its gaming space. The venue occupied a modest footprint but operated as an independent gambling location.
The establishment began as Las Vegas Coffee House in 1913 and received Nevada's first gaming license issued to a woman in 1931. This early licensing made it a notable turning point in the city's gaming history.
The casino kept traditional coin-operated slot machines instead of modern ticket systems, maintaining a connection to older Las Vegas gaming practices. Players could experience how gambling worked in earlier times.
The location sat in Fremont Street Experience, a central area with straightforward access and easy navigation. Visitors should know the casino closed in 2016 and is no longer accessible as a standalone venue.
The casino handed out Mardi Gras beads to visitors entering the venue as a welcome gesture. This playful tradition set it apart from other casinos in the area.
