22 Fremont

Las Vegas, NV

 

Barrel House Club

 

1934 to 1938

The Barrel House Club was a dancehall and casino that opened after the closing of the 21 Club in 1934.
According to Fuller's Index Plus it was licensed for slots, blackjack,  craps, and roulette from Oct 6, 1934 through December 31, 1938.
 
This popular nightclub had a full orchestra for dancing. It was located next to the State Café, and Barrel House patrons could order food through a hole in the wall between the businesses. During prohibition, if they knew the right people, they could also order a pitcher of drinks.   (From CASINO CHIP AND TOKEN NEWS | Fall 2006)

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.
