Gambling fans rejoiced in 1931 after Hotel Nevada’s casino opened yet again. While there were no gambling facilities, the hotel continued to expand and became even more popular in the 1920s after paving Fremont Street. Sadly, in 1909 the state outlawed gambling, so the casino had to stop its operations.
The venue had plumbing, and Miller had big plans for it to become a modern hotel with top-notch amenities. The two-story building was also the first one with a telephone, which was a pretty big deal back then. Next year, in 1906, Miller’s Hotel Nevada debuted as the first casino hotel in downtown Las Vegas. Image of Miller’s Hotel Nevada, Credit to:
