- Clifford_A._Jones abstract "Clifford Aaron Jones, Sr. (February 19, 1912 – November 16, 2001) was an American politician. He was the 20th Lieutenant Governor of Nevada from January 1947 to December 1954.Clifford A. Jones' was also the founder of the Jones, Jones Close & Brown branch of the one of Nevada's legendary law firms, today known as Jones Vargas.Cliff Jones was born in Long Lane, Missouri. His family moved to Las Vegas in 1931 while Cliff was in college at the University of Missouri. When they weren’t attending school, both Cliff and his younger brother, Herbert M. Jones, worked on the construction of Boulder Dam in the 1930s, working their way up from servers at the Anderson mess hall to various jobs including mucker, puddler, signalman, crane operator and power hose operator.While an undergraduate, Cliff took classes at the University of Missouri School of Law, with the result that Cliff had accumulated three years of law school credits before he actually graduated from law school. This qualified Cliff to sit for the Nevada bar exam during his final semester of law school. Consequently, in the winter of 1937, Cliff traveled from Columbia, Missouri to Carson City and took the exam. He was notified later that semester that he had passed.Cliff returned to law school and completed his studies and graduated in the spring of 1938. He returned home to Las Vegas and was sworn in as an attorney, one of only five newly admitted attorneys in Nevada that year. He immediately entered private practice.During the years before World War II, Cliff entered Nevada politics. In the 1940 election, he was elected to the Nevada Assembly and become its majority leader and chairman of the Judiciary Committee.During World War II, Cliff was commissioned as an officer in the United States Army. He served in the European theater, in the Third and Ninth Armies, earning four battle stars and a Bronze Star Medal with an oak leaf cluster. By the war's end, he was discharged as a lieutenant colonel.Cliff returned home in 1945. Later that year, he was appointed as a District Judge for Clark County, a position he held only one year. In 1946, Cliff ran for and was elected the State's Lieutenant Governor, an office he held for two terms, from January 1947 to January 1955. Cliff was a highly successful politician with wide ranging interests and influence during these years. In political circles he was known as "Big Juice" for his political influence.In addition to his law practice and his political interests, Cliff Jones was a businessman with wide ranging interests. He founded the first ready mix concrete company in southern Nevada, and he helped found Valley Bank of Nevada. At various times he had interests in casinos including the El Cortez, the Algiers, The Dunes, Golden Nugget, Pioneer, Thunderbird and Westerner, plus international properties in France, Lebanon and Ecuador.In 1969, a merger created the firm of Jones, Jones, Close, Bilbray & Kaufman, Ltd. This entity is one of the two direct predecessors in the firm known today as Jones Vargas.Cliff Jones was instrumental in the founding of the Bank of Las Vegas which later became Valley Bank of Nevada, one of the few banks in this time period to make loans to Nevada casinos.In early 1993 Clifford A. Jones retired, closing out a career that spanned 55 years. In November 2001 he died at the age of 89.".
