Rainbow Club, 131 South 1st St, Las Vegas, 1931.

The “club and buffet,” opened in ’29 at the northeast corner of South 1st St & Carson. It became a casino in summer 1931, and that year became one of the first businesses in Las Vegas with an air conditioning system.

The “first” A/C in Las Vegas may depend on the modern definition of air conditioning. El Portal theater opened earlier with a “cooling plant for summer and the heating plant for winter,” as described by Las Vegas Age, but did not have modern Carrier Refrigeration Corp A/C until later. Apache Hotel, another contender for first A/C in Las Vegas, did not open until '32.

Rainbow Club’s claim to the “Coolest spot in Nevada” was carried by an article in the Review-Journal which described their A/C system as larger version of one that had already been installed at the Strip’s Pair-O-Dice club.

“‘Coolest spot in Nevada.’ That’s the claim of owners Kind and Rowan for their Rainbow club now that the new elaborate air cooling system has been installed by WM Fisher of Bakersfield and Las Vegas … the cooling plant costing close to $3,000 has the capacity to deliver into the double room of the club the astounding total of 19,000 cubit feet of cooled air every minute … a similar but smaller system was installed previously in the new Pair o Dice casino, the same engineers doing the job.” – “Rainbow Club Cooling System Makes Place ‘The Coolest Spot in Nevada’” Review-Journal, 7/11/31

Rainbow Club closed in the mid-30s. The building remained until the mid 1970s when Golden Nugget demolished it for use as a parking lot. In later years Golden Nugget expanded the resort over the former 100-block of South 1st. The exact location of Rainbow club is currently The Tank and swimming pool at Golden Nugget.

Stan Laurel and Anita Garvin in Blotto (1930) short

Stan purloins his wife's secret bottle of liquor to have a wild night out at the Rainbow Club with Ollie. However, Mrs Laurel has replaced the booze with a noxious mixture of cold tea, mustard power, and other hot ingredients. This doesn't prevent the boys from getting tipsy on the contents.
