History[edit]
Northern Club: 1920-43[edit]
The business opened in 1913 as the Las Vegas Coffee House.
In 1920 Mayme Stocker renamed it the Northern Club, offering liquor and gambling when both were illegal, during the Prohibition era.[1] 'Northern' was a well-known code word among railroad workers for an establishment serving alcohol.[4]
On March 20, 1931,[5] the Northern Club received the first Nevada gaming license.[6][7] This was also the first gaming license issued to a woman, Mayme Stocker.[5]
By 1941, Bugsy Siegel and Dave Stearns were operating the club.[8]
Turf Club, Monte Carlo Club, 1940s-1960s[edit]
In 1943, Turf Club replaced Northern Club. It ran only until 1945 when Wilbur Clark leased the club, renaming it the Monte Carlo Club.[1] The Stockers continued to run the Northern Hotel on the second floor[1] until 1949. Monte Carlo Club would close in 1956, but remain in business as a bar until the 1960s. The original building was razed after 1965. A new building was erected, where a Denny's diner opened c. 1967-1968, followed by Sam’s Roast Beef c. 1968-1969.
Coin Castle: 1970-99[edit]
By 1970, the site was operating as the Coin Castle.[9] Herb Pastor was approved to take over the Coin Castle and the nearby Golden Goose casino in 1977.[10] Pastor would later also own the nearby Sassy Sally's casino and the Girls of Glitter Gulch strip club.[11]
La Bayou: 1999-2016[edit]
Pastor decided in 1999 to move ahead with a renovation plan to transform the Coin Castle and Sassy Sally's into La Bayou and Mermaids, respectively, for a total of $6 million.[12][13]
In 2006, Pastor's son, Steve Burnstine, purchased the two casinos and the strip club.[14][15]
Closing: 2016[edit]
In April 2016, Derek and Greg Stevens, owners of the neighboring Golden Gate and Las Vegas Club casinos, purchased the three properties, and announced that the businesses would close on June 27.[15] It was razed soon after.

UK poker players have it better than most. In the United States, all players are expected to report and pay taxes on all gambling winnings, including online and offline poker. This is generally only enforced for the particularly successful players (for whom it is a serious disadvantage) but there is one interesting possible advantage to be gained in such a system.
