Boyd Gaming begins construction of new casino in Nevada
The new Cadence Crossing Casino will replace Jokers Wild in Henderson.
US.- Boyd Gaming has broken ground on the upcoming Cadence Crossing Casino in Southern Nevada. To mark the beginning of the project, Boyd Gaming senior executives and City of Henderson officials gathered for a formal groundbreaking ceremony at the site on Thursday, April 3.
Among the attendees were Marianne Johnson, executive chairman of Boyd Gaming; Keith Smith, president and chief executive officer of Boyd; Ted Bogich, Boyd’s chief operating officer; Steve Schutte, Boyd’s executive vice president of operations; and Mayor Michelle Romero of the City of Henderson.
The property will replace the company’s Jokers Wild Casino in Henderson. It will occupy a 15-acre site off Boulder Highway and Warm Springs Road. It will feature a 10,000-square-foot casino, 450 slot machines and restaurants. The company expects to open the casino in mid-2026.
Steve Schutte said: “As we celebrate Boyd’s 50th year in business, we are excited to begin development of our newest entertainment destination in the Las Vegas Valley. Cadence Crossing will allow us to better serve the rapidly-growing master-planned community of Cadence – and to further expand our presence in Henderson as the Cadence community continues to grow in the years ahead.”
