Vegas Retold

The history of Copa Lounge

Copa Lounge was a small gambling venue cataloged at 3103 South 5th Street on the Las Vegas Strip. The Museum of Gaming History preserves its identity through gaming-chip records and a chip order card, separate from the much better-known Copa Room at the Sands.

The shared word “Copa” can hide very different businesses. This entry follows the standalone Copa Lounge identified in the gaming-collectibles catalog. Its surviving chip records provide a more specific trail than the name alone, helping distinguish the lounge from a resort showroom or another club with a similar name.

What remains uncertain

  • The catalog lists 1955–1964, but a complete chronology, any relocation and an exact final closing date have not been independently established here.
  • A chip order dated September 16, 1964 is an artifact date, not proof of the venue’s final operating day.
  • This record excludes the Sands Copa Room and the separate Club Copa identity.
