In 1932 Joe Morgan, who was also a part owner of the Northern Club and the Boulder Club, opened the Nevada Club. In 1956 Bob Van Santen, Art Grant and Eunice Mason, who owned the Fortune Club next door, purchased The Nevada Club. By 1959 the expanded Nevada Club had over 400 employees. The employees plus their families totaled over 1000 people, which was more than 2% of the entire population of Las Vegas. Not bad, especially since none of the three owners came from a casino background.
