Pioneer isn't the ghost town on the postcards, which is exactly why it's worth knowing about. The Pioneer Club Las Vegas was a casino that opened in 1942 and was located in Downtown Las Vegas, Nevada, at 25 East Fremont Street.

Nye County County holds 10 documented ghost towns, including Beatty, Bullfrog, Cactus Springs — Pioneer keeps them company on the map.

The story of Pioneer

Nevada is ghost-town central: the Comstock made it a state, and a century of played-out bonanzas kept it in ruins.

The Pioneer Club Las Vegas was a casino that opened in 1942 and was located in Downtown Las Vegas, Nevada, at 25 East Fremont Street. It ceased operating as a casino in 1995, the same year the Fremont Street Experience was completed.

What you'll find today

The on-the-ground condition of Pioneer is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Good to know

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
