The former Clark County Courthouse was built in 1914 and was located next to the Golden Nugget Hotel on the southeast corner of Second and Carson. The architectural design of this building was constructed by the Nevada architect, Frederick J. DeLongchamps. In 1958, a new Clark County Court Courthouse was designed by local architects, Walter Zick and Harris Sharp. The original structure was located next to the newly built courthouse, but was shortly torn down after. In 2009, the current Clark County Courthouse was constructed and is known as the Regional Justice Center, “RJC.” The RJC houses four different court systems: District, Justice, Municipal, Supreme Courts and a future Appellate Court as well as the offices of several attorneys and support staff.
