The Bonanza Club was a North Las Vegas casino that became part of Jerry’s Nugget’s expansion in 1968. Jerry’s Nugget’s own history describes its founders buying their competitor across the street and moving into the larger premises.
The Bonanza name marks a separate chapter in the growth of a local casino. Its oil-derrick sign was a landmark associated with the property before the Jerry’s Nugget name took over. Keeping this club separate from the Strip’s Bonanza casino makes two very different Las Vegas histories easier to follow.
