     The well known Moulin Rouge Resort Hotel opened with great fan-fare in l955 as an inter-racial hotel.  It was an important event in the Las Vegas of that era; when most of the major "strip hotels" had no vacancy signs posted for African-American tourists!

The hotel had a forty year struggle to survive in the highly competitive environment of Las Vegas.  Several different owners over the years have kept it alive, but because of its remote location it survived mainly on weekly and monthly occupants.. probably newcomers to Las Vegas seeking jobs in the downtown area of the city.

Local Las Vegas, Richard B. Taylor, published this book in an effort to record the history of this resort before it was lost and forgotten.  His interest was engendered by the fact that at one time he was the operator of the hotel.  All of his involvement is explained in the book.

Available at bookstores nationwide by special order the book can be more easily purchased thru amazon.com by a click in the appropriate spot below.

The book is an interesting record of that great transition time when society was changing into a mode of civil rights.  It is a "must" for those interested in "black studies".
