Moulin Rouge Hotel - 1955 desegregation events

The Moulin Rouge Hotel and Casino opened in 1955 and became the site of meetings and actions commonly referred to as the 'Moulin Rouge Agreement,' which sought to challenge segregation practices in Las Vegas hotels and casinos. The hotel closed soon after and was later placed on the National Register of Historic Places; its brief operation and the 1955 events are frequently discussed in histories of civil rights in Las Vegas. Historians debate the precise scope and immediate impact of the agreement on broader desegregation across the Strip.
