Eastside Cannery, Casino hotel and skyscraper on Boulder Strip in Sunrise Manor, Nevada.
The Eastside Cannery is a casino hotel and skyscraper along the Boulder Highway east of Las Vegas. This 16-story building combines steel, glass, and bronze in an industrial design that contrasts with the classic casino aesthetic found elsewhere in the region.
Eastside Cannery opened on August 28, 2008, built by Cannery Casino Resorts for $250 million on land partly occupied by the Nevada Palace since 1979. Boyd Gaming took over in December 2016 through its purchase of Cannery Casino Resorts. Closed since March 17, 2020, it was imploded on March 5, 2026, after Boyd cited a lack of customer demand.
The casino floor contained 2,187 slot machines and 26 table games, reflecting the gaming preferences of Nevada residents and visitors.
The property has been closed since March 17, 2020, and Boyd Gaming confirmed in late October 2025 that it would be demolished, with the implosion carried out at 2 a.m. on March 5, 2026 as a private event. The site, on Boulder Highway in Sunrise Manor, was to be sold for residential development, so there is nothing to visit.
The property stands on the former site of Nevada Palace, which continued partial operations during the construction of Eastside Cannery until February 2008.
