Harold's Club, Former casino in Downtown Reno, Nevada.
The casino at 236 North Virginia Street featured western decor, covered-wagon motif carpets, and a 70-foot-long mural depicting Wild West scenes.
Harold Smith Sr. and his brother Raymond established the casino in 1935 with just 500 dollars, one game, and two slot machines.
The casino became the first in Nevada to employ women as dealers, with female staff making up ninety percent of workers by early 1940s.
During its peak in the 1950s and 1960s, the establishment contained 1,525 slot machines and 61 gaming tables across multiple floors.
More than two thousand billboards appeared across the United States promoting Harold's Club with the message 'Harold's Club or Bust'.
