Las Vegas Club Sold

The "iconic" Las Vegas Club Casino has been sold to Derek Stevens, who owns "The D" and Golden gate.
Although I see no mention in the story, rumors are that Las Vegas Club will close, possible as early as this Sunday and re-open at some future point with all new staff. None of the current staff are being retained, although some are being offered jobs at Las Vegas Club's current sister property, The Plaza.

I thought that the Las Vegas Club had its name changed to just Vegas Club back when Tamares Group bought it. Wikipedia has no information regarding that so maybe I got wrong information.

This is good news. At the moment the Las Vegas Club is just a waste of space.They were hoping to lease it to a CVS but met with opposition from Stevens and others on the drugstore selling alcohol.
I am sure it will reopen as a larger twin of the Golden Gate. Every night is like NYE on Fremont these days so he may have a bargain buy.

LVC is in terrible shape. I can't help but wonder what will happen with those hotel towers. They have been neglected for the last two decades and completely closed the last three years or so. I wonder if they are beyond repair or if there is something there to work with.
Does anybody know what year the hotel was built?

True.Jackie Gaughan ran everything down.I don't think the hotel tower is really old. My guess would be 25 years but hopefully someone will have a more factual answer.

Something tells me I read 1978 at some point but it is very hard to find "Las Vegas Club" info in Google because of its generic name.

I stayed in their Hotel in about 2002. They couldn't get the air conditioning in one room to work so they switched us over to another; and I'm not making this up, when you flushed the toilet the water came up in the sink.
Back then they had a little coffee shop on the second floor overlooking Fremont Street. It closed down a few years later for good.

Good riddance to a trashy joint. Hopefully he'll get some of the Golden Gate girls over there.
The place will have to be gutted and fumigated.

Las Vegas Club does not have "a" hotel tower. There were and are two of them. I don't know the dates, but it was obvious they were of different construction and were built on the property at different times.
The last owners had grand talk, big ever-changing plans, and no money. They employed people who hated working and being inconvenienced by having some of their employer's customers around while trying not to do so, and appeared to perform no maintenance. Rooms had sparse furnishings only to the extent some of them had not yet been broken and discarded or cannibalized for another room. The more scruffy south tower (with elevators nearest the Plaza & Main St) was closed first, before the north tower (nearer the hotel registration desk & Ogden St) finally closed after operating for about a year only on weekends.
I never saw the place in great shape, but still thought it was better in some ways for a cheapo budget room option than some Strip places like IP or Circus Circus or Flamingo. I think what is required in both hotel towers is mostly refurbishment in soft costs such as furnishings, carpet, fixtures and the like that are constantly done routinely in any ongoing operation that is not dis-investing and contemplating commercial suicide. The casino part of the property never gave me any reason to linger in it.

When we were there in July I was told by the dealers that they were all contract employees. I'm not sure how many full time employees they actually have.
I'm sure that some there are regular full time employees and will have their livelihood impacted, somehow. But I can't help but believe this move is a positive for the property. It can't get much worse.
I have always had a soft spot for LVC so I hope they do something to improve conditions at the property. Time will tell.

Binion's has had their hotel closed for a few years. I don't know what the new owners of LVC can do to make the hotel successful that Binion's hasn't thought of. And the Gold Spike couldn't hold on. Maybe the price the new owners paid for the LVC was just so low they couldn't resist.

I am only aware of this topic because of my interest in collecting casino chips. I had one from "Las Vegas Club", and when I learned the name had changed to "Vegas Club", I wanted one of those. They apparently never existed, and the name was later changed back to "Las Vegas Club."
When I posted my souvenir chip in the Casino Chip of the Day thread back in June 2012, I tried to post all of the convoluted history of the place that I could dig up -- for example, it used to be on the other side of Fremont Street!

I found that place unique at least, and that is a draw.
$5 Craps and crapsless with 10x odds later changed to $3 craps with double odds, $5 craps with 345x odds, and crapless with double odds. The crapless with double odds was absolutely the more revealing moves relating to their desire for capitalizing on idiots who will place the point after the point is 12 because they like the tway-elve.
The craps table had a spot on it with tape for about two years. They never ever replaced the rubber around the table. Ever. The absolute worst budget for keeping things in good condition. I am surprised that they kept the felts relatively new and nice looking; they did do that.
The people that ended up in this place, invariably, were drifters who wandered to the area to watch girls dancing, and they bring them in the casino with girls dancing in view of the stage.
I liked it when, for a couple of years, there was a passageway between California Casino and this casino. It was all quiet and eerie with a few bones from some old slot machines. I mean it was almost like a haunted house you could wander through as you headed up north towards MSS and California.
There was probably only once that I played significant action there, and I think that this is one of the few places that I am a lifetime winner against. So I suppose that's something nice to think about.
And I made friends with some of the (break-in) dealers. One of them went from breaking in there to being a dealer on dice at the D.
In any case, I know that this will be an improvement if they switch things over to the same format as the D and the Golden Gate, which is what I would expect. I would not expect them to do anything with the rooms. But I do wonder if this might be an opportunity for an implosion where the brothers could start over from the ground up without having to sacrifice the two properties that are working well for them so far. They seem to be in touch with the demographic of Fremont Street Experience more than the other property that is doing well there (Golden Gate) which is more about trying to be an island where people don't want to spend as much time outside and maybe want to hang out at the pool or indoors somewhere for longer periods of time than folks at surrounding properties.
How is the Plaza doing? I haven't been to downtown in ages. Maybe I'll head over today.

Back around 2002 the Las Vegas Club used to have a SD, 3:2 blackjack. Once I ask for a comp after playing for an hour and they said that I didn't have enough play. I told him I've been playing for about an hour and they told me that they had no record, that I needed to make sure that I give the dealer my player's card in order to have my play evaluated. Well since I did give the dealer my player's card I figured this was just a way of them giving me a soft backoff. It worked!

That was one of the first casinos I played regularly and learned to count at in 1990.
I know some people at this website made a nice profit there with a recent promotion.
I just wonder if it will open back up as a casino or just a food, beverage, shopping, and entertainment complex.

Does anyone know what they are going to do with all the sports memorabilia? My first guess would be to use it to decorate the book at the Plaza, but if they are selling... who wouldn't want to bid on an Eric Dickerson jersey?
I also wonder what they did with the "Pick Your Live Lobster" claw game that used to be outside of the restaurant by the Player's Club booth?

Most of the sports memorabilia is long gone. I don't know what they did with it. The lobster claw game left when Tinoco's Kitchen closed about three years ago.
LVC has already been scraped to the bones. There is little left of value. One hotel tower has been closed since 2012, the other since 2013. Outside of a few suites, I doubt there is anything of value in them. The rooms are probably beyond disgusting.
All restaurants closed 3+ years. The entire closed off section in the rear of the casino is empty except for a few slot parts. Maybe the EDR and office items are salvageable but I doubt they would be worth the time to bother with.

Before they closed the back casino and the corridor shops, I though the place had character. I didn't mind the gambling atmosphere, and for some odd reason I though that corridor had a neat look.
They had a lot of good promotions over the years. They had coin droppers full pay .25-.50 Jokers.
I would much rather play in a old joint with good games than a upscale place with bad games. If they do away with the good games and promotions it will be disappointing no matter what they do to the building.
Parking was easy, it gave you easy access to Binion's, GG, Plaza etc.
Employees were usually friendly and Personable.

I played $.50 full pay Jokers until close last night. The CEO of PlayLV said he wasn't moving those machines. I may have convinced him to drop the players card to keep them. If they end up at Plaza, it seems extremely unlikely that they will issue the full comps/points they did at LVC. It will either be $12/pt like it used to be or nothing at all.
He told me 24 of the coin machines are going over there. Three are the $1 slots by the cage that were made specifically for LVC long ago that are for sure going. There were seven full pay Jokers (5 - $.25 and 2 - $.50).

Me too and I actually suggested that a few years ago to PlayLV when I had the ear of one of their executives not long after they walled the back of LVC off. They had a 100+ old coin machines stacked back there. They were sold a couple of years ago.

Thanks for the article.
I believe that we are "lifetime winners" at the "Las Vegas Club" due to my wife winning $850 on a $10 free play coupon from the ACG a few years back. We've visited since then, but made no significant play at all--it just seemed like the casino was going downhill more each time until we just walked by and talked about the win instead of actually going in...
We do frequent the Golden Gate and D during our visits; if they are able to turn this site into something good, we will visit it in the future.
One constant is change--the casino executives and corporate bean counters don't always get change right or aren't fast enough to move in a different direction. It just seems as if no one was really interested in making the property work in this case. Maybe a change of ownership is what will make the difference. I just hope the space doesn't stay dark too long...

I'm happy Derek Stevens is buying the place. It has been dead in there for years and rightfully so. Overall I think Derek has done good things for the D and Golden Gate and look forward to seeing what he does with the Las Vegas Club. I'd prefer to see him tear it down and building something new, like what happened with the Lady Luck, but welcome any change of management there.

The retro casino on the second floor of The D is pretty much already gone. The pulled every coin game but the Sigma Derby out. They were replaced by machines Derek Stevens bought from Riviera when it closed.
Can someone confirm this as the D website still boasts about their 2nd floor coin operated vintage slots?

The D just hasn't updated its website. If you want coins downtown you can play them at MSS, The Cal, Fremont and El Cortez.
I know those 3 places have coin VP but as far as I know only La Bayou has coin SLOTS downtown. I assume Eastside Cannery still has their own vintage slot area.
Eastside Cannery still has coins AFAIK. There were nine or ten coin slots at LVC. Three are moving over to Plaza for sure. They were $1 slots with a very small edge compared to modern reels that were mentioned a few posts above. They were designed specifically for LVC.
I'm not sure if the six or seven quarter ones are going over. I didn't ask because I didn't play them. They were in pretty bad shape.

Was visiting downtown last week and watched as a massive crane was demolishing the old Vegas Club. Has anyone heard what the plans are for the site?
