Dr. William "Bob" Bailey
The Clark County School District named our school in honor of local resident Dr. William H. "Bob" Bailey for his lifelong contributions to our community and country. Bailey Middle School opened in the Fall of 2005 and was officially dedicated in the Spring of 2006.
Known as the first African-American television personality in Nevada, Dr.
Bailey is celebrated by many as civil rights leader and advocate for equal employment, business development and education. Arriving in Las Vegas in 1955, from New York City, to co-produce the opening show for the first integrated hotel and casino in Las Vegas, the Moulin Rouge, Bailey was impressed with all the possibilities in the Silver State and often remarked to his wife, Anna, "This is it!" Dr.
Bailey and his wife decided to make Las Vegas home after the historic Moulin Rouge Hotel and Casino closed, after just six months.
