Moulin Rouge Hotel, Casino hotel in West Las Vegas, United States

The Moulin Rouge Hotel stood at 900 West Bonanza Road in West Las Vegas, a low building whose facade carried a large sign of silver script letters mounted on a metal frame above a white beam, spelling "Moulin" and part of "Rouge". Below the beam ran a shallow overhanging roof and a row of reddish-brown and pale grey rectangular panels separated by slender supports. Local architects Walter Zick and Harris Sharp designed the complex, which opened in 1955.

The establishment opened on May 24, 1955, as the first major integrated casino in the city, allowing guests of all backgrounds to use its facilities. A meeting at its coffee shop on March 26, 1960, led to an agreement that ended segregation across the city.

The hotel took its name from the Paris nightclub Moulin Rouge, and its entertainment director Clarence Robinson brought experience as a master of ceremonies from that Paris venue. The staff was mixed-race, and the showroom staged a cancan revue alongside comedians Stump and Stumpy and musicians such as Ahmad Jamal and Dinah Washington.

The property no longer stands, but markers along the Las Vegas Pioneer Trail reference its history. Visitors can explore the area to learn more about this chapter of local history.

The casino kept its gaming licence by reopening for a state-mandated minimum of eight hours every two years; video poker machines were trucked in for single days in 2012, 2014, 2018 and 2024. A 2003 fire left only the facade with its sign and the ornamental tower standing.
