Moulin Rouge Hotel & Casino
About
The Moulin Rouge holds a unique and important place in Las Vegas history as the first racially integrated hotel-casino in the city, opening on May 24, 1955. Located in the historically Black Westside neighborhood, the Moulin Rouge welcomed guests of all races during a time when the Strip casinos enforced strict segregation. Black entertainers like Sammy Davis Jr., Nat King Cole, and Josephine Baker performed on the Strip but were forced to stay at the Moulin Rouge. Despite critical acclaim and popularity, the casino closed after just six months due to financial disputes. The building suffered multiple fires and deteriorated over the decades, but it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
