Eldorado Casino, Casino in Henderson, Nevada.

Eldorado Casino is a gaming venue in Henderson featuring a spacious floor with numerous slot machines and several gaming tables for cards and dice games. A dedicated sportsbook area serves visitors interested in placing bets on sporting events.

The property opened as the Wheel Casino on February 15, 1961, and was closed by 1962, when Paul Perry agreed to buy it. Attorney Bill Boyd took a stake for handling the deal and brought in his father Sam Boyd, then manager of the Mint, plus his aunt and another lawyer; they reopened it as the Eldorado Casino on July 1. Around 1965 they bought the adjacent Royal Club, doubling its size, and the Boyds took full ownership in 1966. Boyd Gaming held it from 1993 until selling to DeSimone Gaming in December 2020; it reopened as The Pass Casino on April 1, 2021.

The casino's name comes from the Eldorado, the legendary golden city sought by Spanish explorers, a nod to the 1962 reopening by Sam and Bill Boyd. The Boyds ran the property with an emphasis on Henderson's small-town feel. After the 2021 renovation the former Mexican restaurant became Italian, and the 1950s diner became a cafe.

The casino sits in the Water Street District of downtown Henderson, with an existing parking garage serving the property. A 90-room Atwell Suites hotel was announced in March 2022 for the casino's parking lot, with construction starting in February 2023; it would be the district's first hotel.

Boyd Gaming used the small Eldorado as a training ground for executives, since its size demanded hands-on management. Sam Boyd bought half the property in 1966 for $6,667 and Bill Boyd a quarter for $3,000. The 90-room Atwell Suites hotel announced in March 2022, with construction starting February 2023, would be the Water Street District's first hotel.
