The Eldorado Casino is a casino in Henderson, Nevada, owned and operated by Boyd Gaming.
The casino is 17,756 square feet (1,649.6 m2) and has 434 slot machines, a keno parlor, bingo parlor, and sports book.[1][2]
History[edit]
The Wheel Casino opened on February 15, 1961.[3]
By 1962, the Wheel was closed, and Paul Perry agreed to buy it. Attorney Bill Boyd represented him in the transaction, in exchange for a stake in the property. Boyd brought in other investors: a fellow lawyer, his aunt, and his father, Sam Boyd, general manager of the Mint.[4] They reopened it as the Eldorado Casino on July 1.[3]
Around 1965, they acquired the adjacent Royal Club, doubling the Eldorado's size.[5]
The Boyds took over ownership in 1966. Sam bought half of the property for $6,667 and Bill bought a quarter for $3,000, while another of the original investors, Joe Crowley kept the remaining quarter, until he was later bought out.[3] The Boyds tried to emphasize Henderson's small-town feel in operating the casino.[5]
A $1.5-million renovation in 1977 expanded the casino to 30,000 square feet (2,800 m2), to keep up with the town's growth.[3]
Boyd Gaming acquired the casino in 1993.[6] The company uses it as a training ground for executives, because its small size requires a hands-on management approach.[4]
In 2007, a $700,000 renovation was completed.[7]

Plans for the Eldorado were announced in July 1972 by a group of six investors, including members of Reno's prominent Carano family.[2] The hotel opened on May 24, 1973 with 278 guest rooms, two restaurants, and a casino with 200 slot machines, 9 table games, and a keno game.[3] Also incorporated into the property were a ballroom accommodating up to 750 people, an underground parking garage, and executive suites.[4]
Eldorado Casino Reno History
In 1979, the success of the Eldorado Resort Casino prompted what would be the first of many expansions and improvements. Guestrooms were brought to a total of 411 with a further expansion completed in September 1985 adding 20,000 square feet of gaming area and four new restaurants. By 1989, the Eldorado had grown to 814[5] hotel rooms and boasted its own on-site bakery, pasta and gelato shop and butcher shop. In 1992, the Eldorado added a 10 story parking garage for added convenience to guests.
The completion of another transformation for the Eldorado happened in 1995. Coinciding with the construction of Silver Legacy Reno, a 50/50 joint venture between Eldorado Resorts and MGM Resorts International, the Eldorado added a crossover to the new downtown property connected by the first ever micro-brewery in a casino, The Brew Brothers. The Spa Tower was created, adding 10 floors of luxury accommodations; a 10,175 square foot convention center was opened as well as a 580-seat Broadway-style showroom. A coffee roasting company was added to the list of on-site services and the casino now totaled 78,987 square feet with more than 1,500 slot machines, 55 table games, a keno lounge, race and sportsbook and poker room.[6]
In 2016, Eldorado Resorts announced that it expects to invest more than $50 million in enhancements. Eldorado’s master plan for the three connected properties, which span eight city blocks in downtown Reno, also includes renovation of more than 4,100 guest rooms. The properties’ upgrade announcement comes a week after the company’s agreement to acquire Isle of Capri Casinos.
