History
What would become the Pioneer Hotel & Gambling Hall initially opened in 1979 as the Colorado Club and was built by Tom Ward and Ed Nigro. In 1986 the casino has the distinction of being the first casino to open a players' club for slot players in Nevada.
The Hotel and Casino was purchased on January 9, 2004 by its current owner Archon Corporation. The current owners continue the western theme that has been the signature of The Pioneer Club since its inception. The casino added a new sports book, operated by Lucky's Race & Sports Book, in August 2009.
