Comment: This sign is from the 1955 Moulin Rouge Casino that was open for only 6 months. It was the first casino to allow both black and white patrons. In all other casinos black performers were only allowed on stage and once their act was over they had to leave by the tradesman’s exit. It is thought that the Moulin Rouge was closed from pressure of the other casinos because the friends of the black entertainers would leave the other casinos to go and socialise at the Moulin Rouge thereby taking their trade away from the other casinos. NB This photo was from the web – I could not take my wide angle lens camera into the museum.[br]Area : Las Vegas – Neon Museum [br] Map[br] |
