Moulin Rouge Hotel & Casino (first integrated casino)

The Moulin Rouge Hotel and Casino at 900 W Bonanza Rd opened in 1955 and is widely documented as the first major Las Vegas hotel-casino to be racially integrated, serving both Black and white performers and patrons. Financial, legal, and violent incidents led to its closure later in 1955 and the building was eventually demolished. Historians note the Moulin Rouge's significance to civil rights in Las Vegas, though some details about its long-term impact and chronology are debated among scholars.
