Bourbon Street Hotel and Casino, former hotel and Casino in Las Vegas
Bourbon Street Hotel and Casino was a small hotel in Las Vegas with 166 rooms and a casino covering around 15,000 square feet (1,400 square meters). It offered a New Orleans-inspired style and a simple but comfortable place for travelers.
The hotel opened in 1980 as the original Shenandoah and was later renamed Bourbon Street Hotel and Casino. After financial struggles, multiple ownership changes, and renovation attempts in the 1990s, it closed in 2005 and was demolished in 2006.
The hotel took its name from the famous New Orleans street and brought that city's spirit to Las Vegas. Visitors could feel the colorful decoration and lively atmosphere that reflected French Quarter aesthetics.
The hotel was located near the Las Vegas Strip and was easily walkable to other nearby attractions and shops in the area. It offered basic amenities such as parking, a small on-site restaurant, and friendly front desk staff.
The hotel's original name was Shenandoah, and singer Wayne Newton was one of the early minority investors in the project. A sign from the hotel is now displayed at the Neon Museum, which preserves the history of Las Vegas' historic neon signs.
