Hotel Golden Fire

The Hotel Golden in downtown Reno caught fire on April 3, 1962. Six people died and the hotel was damaged beyond repair. To the left is Harrah's Bingo Club and to the right is the Gay 90's Bank Club and the Palace Club. The Bank Club also burned in the fire. The Hotel Golden was rebuilt, but they ran out of money before completion. Harrah's purchased the unfinished property and completed its 24-story hotel tower.
