Boyd Gaming Corp. has demolished a shuttered casino in the eastern Las Vegas Valley and plans to sell the land for residential use. The Eastside Cannery, which opened in 2008, featured 300-plus hotel rooms, a 64,000-square-foot casino, several bars and restaurants, a 250-seat entertainment lounge and 20,000 square feet of meeting and ballroom space. The property had been closed since 2020 due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The current owners, Boyd Gaming Corp., believe there is not sufficient market demand to reopen the place and plan to sell it for residential uses. Despite Las Vegas' long history of casino implosions, the current owners have decided to abandon the East Side Cannery.
