The Clover Club was a private club in Hollywood at 8477 Sunset Blvd, operated in the 1930s by partners that included Guy McAfee, Milton “Farmer” Page, and Tutor Scherer, each of whom had been involved in gambling around Los Angeles during the Prohibition era.
In the late 30s, all three were driven out of town in a corruption purge and moved their business to Las Vegas. Page and Scherer opened the Pioneer Club. McAfee founded the Golden Nugget, among several others, and is sometimes credited with coining the name “Las Vegas Strip.”
Clover Club reopened, and ran under different names, and briefly served as the Army and Navy Officers Club after World War II. It was destroyed in a fire in January ‘52.
