Moulin Rouge Hotel - 1955 integrated casino landmark (historic site)

The Moulin Rouge Hotel, which opened on Bonanza Road in 1955, is widely cited as an early Las Vegas casino hotel that served integrated audiences during the segregated era. The property closed shortly after opening; the site later gained recognition for its role in civil-rights-era entertainment history and is listed on historic registers. The claim that it was the first fully integrated hotel-casino in Las Vegas is commonly made in local histories and is discussed among historians with some differing perspectives.
