History

Northern Club

Opened as the Las Vegas Coffee House, Mayme Stocker renamed it the Northern Club in 1920 offering liquor and gaming while both were illegal.[1]

On March 20, 1931,[4] the Northern Club received the first Nevada gaming license.[5] The license was issued by Clark County.[6] This was also the first gaming license issued to a woman, Mayme Stocker.[4]

Wilbur Clark leased the Northern Club casino in 1945 renaming it the Monte Carlo Club.[1] The Stockers continued to run the Northern Hotel on the second floor.[1]
