Moulin Rouge - first integrated hotel-casino in Las Vegas

The Moulin Rouge Hotel & Casino opened on May 24, 1955 at 900 W Bonanza Rd and is documented as the first major Las Vegas casino to be racially integrated, admitting both black and white customers and performers. Its opening drew national attention and controversy; the property closed and reopened multiple times in subsequent years, and its initial 1955 season was brief but historically significant. The original building and site remain notable in the city's civil-rights and entertainment history.
