About Us

Great Basin Elks Lodge 1472 — photo 1

Great Basin Elks Lodge 1472 has been part of the fabric of Elko, Nevada for generations. Situated on VFW Drive alongside fellow service organizations, the Lodge is where ranchers, miners, veterans, teachers, and business owners sit at the same table. That cross-section of the Great Basin community is exactly what the Elks were built for, and Lodge 1472 delivers it every week.

The Lodge holds true to the four cardinal virtues of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks: Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity. Those aren't words on a wall here. They show up as scholarship dollars awarded to local students, holiday food drives stocked for Elko families in need, and volunteer hours logged across the region every year.

Step inside and you'll find a gathering place that feels genuinely lived in. Pool tables, a full bar, lodge dinners, and a calendar packed with events keep members coming back. New faces are always welcome to explore membership and discover why so many Elko residents have called this place a second home for decades.

What We Offer

Lodge 1472 offers members far more than a place to meet. The lodge hall is available for private events, banquets, and celebrations, giving Elko families a comfortable, affordable venue right in the community. Regular lodge dinners bring members together around good food and good conversation, and the bar provides a relaxed spot to unwind after a long week in the Basin.

On the civic side, the Lodge runs youth scholarship programs that have put Elko-area students through college, organizes community charity drives throughout the year, and participates in state and national Elks initiatives that amplify local giving. Members also gain access to the broader network of BPOE lodges across the country, a benefit that travels with you.

Whether you're interested in joining, renting the hall, or simply learning more about what the Elks do in northeastern Nevada, Lodge 1472 is the place to start that conversation.

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
