This is the place were famed actor Clark Gable spent three days waiting word on the fate of his wife Carol Lombard. The news was not good. Lombard died in a plane crash. You can learn more about this couple and that event when you visit the saloon.

The Pioneer saloon is about a 30-40 minute drive from the Strip. It is located south of Vegas and just west off of the Jean, Nevada, exit.  The Pioneer Saloon is located in Goodsprings, Nevada, and is a ghost town.
