Casino Club Building San Antonio Texas
In 1925, the Casino Association was consolidated with the San Antonio Club, a literary society formed in 1882. Together the clubs formed the San Antonio and Casino Clubs, also known as the San Antonio-Casino Club. A six story building was constructed at Crockett and N. Presa streets to house the club. The Lucky Eagle Casino is just 149 miles from San Antonio. Google Maps estimates it takes (on average) between 2 hours 20 minutes to 2 hours 40 minutes to drive from downtown San Antonio to the Lucky Eagle Casino. Built in 1996 and added onto in 2013, the casino hotel has bingo (five days a week), 3,000 electronic gaming machines, and no table. The Casino Club, San Antonio's first social club and theater, originated from meetings of twenty Germans who gathered for conversation and sociability in 1854. The club was chartered in 1857, with a membership of 106 men-all German Texans. Zeke McCormack/San Antonio Express-News Show More Show Less 72 of 122 Casino Club Building 102 W.
