Mermaids Casino, Casino in Fremont Street Experience, Las Vegas, Nevada
Mermaids Casino was a gaming establishment located in downtown Las Vegas on Fremont Street, featuring slot machines and video poker across two connected floors. The building was notable for housing the first escalator of its kind in a Southern Nevada casino.
The casino opened in 1956 as Silver Palace and underwent several name changes through the decades, including Carousel Casino and Sassy Sally's before becoming Mermaids Casino in 1999. Its demolition in 2017 marked a turning point in the redevelopment of downtown Las Vegas's gaming landscape.
The casino reflected Las Vegas gaming evolution through its tropical decorations and specialized focus on machine gaming rather than traditional table games.
The property stood at 32 East Fremont Street until its closure, positioned near other downtown gaming venues like Golden Gate, the D, and Las Vegas Club. Visitors exploring the history of downtown Las Vegas will find the site now occupied by newer development.
The property marked a significant transition in downtown Las Vegas development when it was demolished to create space for the Circa Resort & Casino.
