The Nevada Biltmore

Opened 1942  ·  Card no. 9593

In 1949 its owners announced it would open its doors to Black guests, and a city that enforced segregation through the licensing office pulled its liquor and gaming licenses. It lasted about ten weeks, six years before the Moulin Rouge tried a larger version.
