Las Vegas Club, Casino and hotel on Fremont Street, Las Vegas, United States.
The Las Vegas Club stood at the corner of Main and Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas, occupying the ground floor of the Overland Hotel from 1949. Its tan upper facade carried the red capital letters "LAS VEGAS CLUB" in three stacked lines, while a taller central section clad in reflective metal panels rose above it, topped by two pale notched finials and a curved band with the same name. A bronze-coloured statue of a man stood before the metal cladding, and a street-level band read "LIBERAL '21 IN THE WORLD".
The casino was founded in 1930 and relocated across Fremont Street in 1949 to occupy the 1905 Overland Hotel building. The hotel business closed in 2013 and gaming operations ended in 2015 before the site underwent demolition.
Mel Exber, president of the club, was a baseball fan, and by 1970 a sports theme ran through the casino: two of its restaurants were named the Bullpen and the Dugout. The Polish Wikipedia notes a sports walk of fame as one of the property's attractions.
The site is located in the middle of Fremont Street among other historic gaming venues and is easily accessible on foot. Since the property was completely redeveloped from 2020 onward, visitors today can see the new resort that replaced it.
The original building on this location dated from 1905 and originally served as the Overland Hotel before becoming a casino decades later. This transformation reveals how the old Fremont Street evolved and adapted to changing times.
