Notes	Project Description: In the early 1980s, the owners removed the slender Moderne pylon-shaped sign and lined the roofline with faux stadium bleachers to complement the casino's sports theme. Between 1977 and 1980, the club remodeled in three phases, which were scheduled to enable it to remain open to the public throughout the process. ;Project History: The Las Vegas Club opened in the mid-1920s across the street from its present location and was known as a 'working man's hangout.' It moved to the current site in 1949. In 1949, the club erected a 120 foot sign with vertical Moderne lettering designed with Hermon Boernge of YESCO. Neon coins spilled from a giant slot machine at its base. By the early 1960s, the Las Vegas Club had expanded down the block, overtaking the Overland Hotel next door. This created a continuous marquee down that side of the block. In the early 1960s, a slot machine the size of a building was placed next door. In the early 1980s, they removed the slender Moderne pylon-shaped sign and, in keeping with the sports theme, installed a new sign with a brass baseball player in the center. ;[1977-80 remodel: Leo A.
