- Note
- The Bank Club was Reno's second gambling operation to open its doors to gamblers in 1931, immediately after the State of Nevada legalized gambling in the state. It had a floor space of 5000 square feet and operated until 1952 when it joined with the Golden Hotel to become the Golden-Bank Casino. With their close social and cultural connections to western Nevada, it is likely that residents of the OWens Valley visited this club.
