This vintage clear ashtray comes from the New Pioneer Club in Las Vegas.
The New Pioneer Club operated on Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas from the mid-1950s through 1967, building on the reputation of the original Pioneer Club, which opened in 1942. Located at First Street and Fremont Street, the casino became part of the bustling downtown gaming district, where independent clubs competed for visitors with gambling, entertainment, and eye-catching neon signs.
In 1956, the club adopted the New Pioneer name under new ownership, giving the established casino a fresh identity. Its most famous landmark was Vegas Vic, the towering neon cowboy installed outside in 1951, who became one of Las Vegas’s most recognizable symbols.
