Gambling was legalized in Nevada in 1931, at that time the Nevada Hotel, built in 1906, was renamed the Sal Sagev (Las Vegas backwards) Hotel. It was the first casino in Las Vegas, at that time the Meadows Club opened for business.

_______________________________

1st Gambling licences issued the first six months since legalization in 1931

License no. 1 was a test license and no place officially received that licence) the

Northern Club received No. 2 and is considered the 1st Gambling License in Nevada. (the same building is now called La Bayou but has changed hands over six times since 1931 so does not hold the original license any longer)

Boulder Club now Defunct

Las Vegas Club (old one, not same as today's) now defunct

Meadows Resort now defunct

Rainbow now defunct, (not the same as rainbow club in Henderson many years later)

Big 4 now defunct

Railroad Club now Railroad Pass casino halfway between Las Vegas and Boulder City now owned by MGM resorts but still has the original license No 6 which is now considered the oldest still existent gambling license in the state of Nevada.

Exchange Club now defunct

The first casino to be built on what is currently the Las Vegas Strip was the El Rancho Vegas, opening on April 3, 1941, with 63 rooms. That casino stood for almost 20 years before being destroyed by a fire in 1960. Its success spawned a second hotel on what would become the Strip, the Hotel Last Frontier, in 1942. Other resorts followed such as the Flamingo, which opened in 1946, and the Desert Inn, which opened in 1950.

I'm sure there was casino style gambling in the old west, but the first modern era casino was the El Rancho Vegas Hotel and Casino, built in 1941.
