about us

Empowering Women. Serving Community. Building Friendships.

 Since 1911, The Mesquite Club of Las Vegas has helped shape our city through service, leadership, and community connection. Founded by 17 visionary women, our Club has supported women, children, and families for more than a century—leaving a lasting impact on Southern Nevada.

From planting trees in the desert to helping establish Las Vegas’ first public library, our legacy is deeply rooted in service—and our future is focused on continued community impact.


Our Mission

The Mesquite Club is dedicated to philanthropy, education, leadership, and cultural enrichment, strengthening our community through volunteerism and meaningful partnerships.


A Legacy of Impact

Our proud history includes:

  • Founding Las Vegas’ first public library
  • Planting 2,000 shade trees across early Las Vegas 
  • Helping launch Secret Witness (now Crime Stoppers) 
  • Supporting veterans through the USO since World War II 
  • Introducing the city’s first opera, fashion show, and Neighborhood Watch program 
  • Raising tens of thousands of dollars for organizations such as Safe Nest, Miracle Flights, Opportunity Village, and more
     

Rooted in Service Since 1911

In February 1911, 17 women gathered for tea in a small desert town and formed what would become one of Las Vegas’ longest-standing service organizations. Their early efforts included civic advocacy, beautification projects, women’s rights initiatives, and wartime support—laying the foundation for a growing city.

Today, our historic clubhouse at 702 E. St. Louis Avenue stands in the Historic Arts District as a symbol of our enduring commitment to service.

We are proudly affiliated with the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC)—a global network of women dedicated to volunteer leadership.
