Casino Fandango to open Boomer’s Sportsbook in Nevada
The new space will open on September 1.
US.- Boomer’s Sportsbook will open at Casino Fandango in Carson City, Nevada, on September 1. A ribbon-cutting ceremony and opening celebration will take place on September 4. Nevada Lt. Governor Stavros S. Anthony and Carson City Mayor Lori Bagwell are expected to participate.
Founded by Joe Asher and licensed by the Nevada Gaming Commission earlier this summer, Boomer’s is Nevada’s only independent sportsbook operator. Customers can place bets in person or register on-site for a mobile app. The brand has already launched in Elko at The Commercial, in Las Vegas at Ellis Island Casino, and in Henderson at Casino Valle Verde.
Matt Wetzell, general manager at Casino Fandango, said: “We’re bringing something truly different to Northern Nevada—an independent sportsbook that combines the excitement of live betting with the fairness and flexibility today’s players want. Partnering with Boomer’s means our guests will enjoy a betting experience that’s authentic, not corporate.”
Asher added: “Casino Fandango has long been the premier casino in Nevada’s state capital, and we’re thrilled to partner with them to bring Boomer’s Sportsbook to Carson City. Together, we will deliver an unmatched customer experience for guests and sports fans across the Carson–Reno area.”
