Boulder Station, Casino hotel skyscraper in Sunrise Manor, Nevada.
Boulder Station is a hotel and casino at the northeast corner of Lamb Boulevard and Boulder Highway in Sunrise Manor. Its 15-story tower has a reddish-brown facade with tan panels and vertical window columns; a dark band at the top carries white capital letters reading "BOULDER STATION", and small green pointed ornaments sit at the corners. The low base holds the casino floor.
Station Casinos chose the 27-acre site at Lamb Boulevard and Boulder Highway in 1986, targeting the underserved east Las Vegas Valley. Groundbreaking took place on August 5, 1993, with Las Vegas mayor Jan Laverty Jones and Nevada governor Robert Miller attending. The $103 million property opened on August 23, 1994, as the first new hotel-casino on the east side since 1979. A $50 million renovation followed in 2008.
The Railhead Saloon opened with 270 seats and has hosted country and blues acts, earning several Academy of Country Music awards for its country programming. In 2000 the venue was expanded, and in 2008 it briefly served as a temporary buffet during the buffet remodel. Its name echoes the railroad theme shared with sister property Palace Station.
The property is easy to locate thanks to its large signage and tower visible from many directions in the area. Visitors will find multiple amenities including dining and entertainment options conveniently located throughout the building.
The property features a large roadside sign with integrated screen technology that makes it stand out in the landscape. This oversized signage has become one of the most recognizable markers of the location when approaching from a distance.
