Las Vegas marks rich casino history with iconic openings from 1908 to 2023

Las Vegas has a rich history of casino openings, starting with the Las Vegas Club in 1908. Other early establishments include the Boulder Club in 1929 and the Northern Club in 1912, which later became the Monte Carlo. The city’s casino landscape evolved significantly from the 1930s to the 1950s. Iconic hotels like the Dunes, Sands, and Tropicana opened during this period, while downtown Las Vegas retained a Western theme with signs like Vegas and Vickie. Recent developments include the opening of the Sphere in September 2023 and the Fontainebleau in December 2023. Many casinos have undergone name changes and rebranding, reflecting the ongoing transformation of Las Vegas.
