The Bank of Las Vegas was constructed in 1921. The building was designed by the architectural firm of Rapp & Rapp in a Neo-Classical style which was popular through the country at the time of construction. The style is reflected in the use of fluted columns and Doric capitals, and the grand main entrance with it triangular pediment and frieze of garlands.

The building is in very good condition and continues to serve as a bank.
