20 Fremont
Buckley's Jackpot Club
Las Vegas, NV
1952 to 1960
After Buckley's Jackpot Club closed in 1960 the location was used for a short time by Starlite Sales.
The gaming license for Starlite Sales was approved but never active. (Fuller Index)
I found a listing for it in the 1961 Las Vegas Criss Cross Directory.
In this photo of Cecil Lynch's Fortune Club courtesy of Vintage Las Vegas you can see a little bit of the sign for Starlite Sales at
20 Fremont in the left of the photo.

In the original tourist slide below, which comes courtesy of the PGG Collection
you see a better picture of Starlight Sales next to Cecil Lynch’s Fortune Club and part of the Dixie Delicatessen.

The half block of Fremont Street from 20 to 32 Fremont has been home to quite a few important and recognizable businesses in the past. The little alley between the Las Vegas Club and the Golden Goose sign is part of the original layout of Las Vegas as surveyed in 1905. I took the picture below in October 2013 and the list shows some of the businesses that took up residence in this tiny patch over the years.
