A brief history of 49’er Club

Historical image unavailable.

The 49’er Club was a short-lived casino on Fremont Street in the early 1950s. Its name survives in historical street photographs, gaming collectibles and records of proposed bingo operations, rather than in a long-lived resort building.

This club is a useful reminder that a recognizable casino sign can represent a very brief business history. The surviving photographs help recover a name that can disappear inside later accounts of Fremont Street’s larger casinos. Its record is kept separate from the Fortune Club name that followed in accounts of the site.
