History

Eastside Cannery Casino and Hotel opened in August 2008, replacing the Nevada Palace, located on the same site since 1979.[1] Nevada Palace closed in February 2008, about two years after the property was purchased by Cannery Casino Resorts. It was torn down in phases as the new property was built behind it; the exact Nevada Palace site is now the current casino's parking lot. All Nevada Palace employees were offered other positions within the Cannery organization, and many were retained as Eastside Cannery staff.[2][3] The $250 million facility was the first major casino to open in more than a decade on Las Vegas’ eastside. It features approximately 2,000 slot machines, 26 table games, a race and sports book and stands 16 stories tall.

The property became part of Boyd Gaming in December 2016 through its acquisition of Cannery Casino Resorts.[4]

State casinos were ordered to close in March 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Nevada. Most casinos reopened later that year, although the Eastside Cannery remains closed as of 2023.[5][6]
