Some came to the Clover Club for drinks and the Frankie Masters Orchestra, but those in the know were in the back rooms shaking the dice.

A new mayor was elected in LA on a reform platform, pledging to rid the city of gambling and prostitution. Soon after this, Guy McAfee moved to Las Vegas, where gambling had been legalized in McAfee claimed he wanted the opportunity to operate within the law; some folks back in LA, however, believed he was fleeing from it.

In any case, McAfee still had deep pockets. He proceeded to acquire the Pair-O-Dice on Highway 91, renovated it and renamed it the 91 Club — dubbing the road "The Strip" at the same time, a name that would stick.

McAfee's old Hollywood pals stuck with him as well; it was worth the relatively short trek to Las Vegas to be able to gamble in peace.

McAfee proceeded to invest in properties in downtown Las Vegas, mostly on Fremont Street. The Golden Nugget, opened in , was his dream project and his most important legacy to the city he'd both adopted and helped to transform.

The Golden Nugget Saloon, as it was known in the beginning, was the first structure in Las Vegas built intentionally as a stand-alone casino.

McAfee lavished care and attention — and a whole lot of money — getting the details exactly right. He wanted, and got, vintage decor reminiscent of the gold-rush days of the Barbary Coast in San Francisco.

He wanted marble imported from Italy; he got that too. A huge air-conditioning system was installed to help the customers keep cool while outside the desert temperatures soared.

Answer from mark c. Nov I don't believe they do. You can taxi, uber, or lyft. There are city busses that run.

I believe you can buy an all day pass. Nampa, Idaho. Answer from 7ContinentGal. There were quite a few restaurants to eat at. There are six restaurants and Tony Romas across the street.

Also no fridge in room. We stayed at the Gold Tower section and we had a view of the pool but the rooms across the hall have views of the strip.

Frankly I prefer a pool view!!! Hope this helps! Powell, Ohio contributions 17 helpful votes. Minneapolis, Minnesota. Answer from Michael A. Oct If they are your guests, then yes, but be careful.

We stayed there back in August, and they were limiting guest capacity to the pool area on a first come, first serve basis, due to COVID restrictions, and there were often long waits.
