Land preparation begins for Boyd’s latest casino project
The ground is being cleared for Boyd Gaming Corp.’s newest casino project in Henderson.
Site grading work began Monday for Cadence Crossing, Boyd’s replacement for the Jokers Wild Casino on Boulder Highway, north of Warm Springs Road.
An official groundbreaking ceremony is planned in April.
Scheduled to open in mid-2026, Cadence Crossing will replace Jokers Wild Casino with a state-of-the-art casino, featuring 450 slot machines and several food and beverage offerings. Future phases are under consideration as the nearby Cadence community continues to grow, with long-term plans for a hotel, expanded gaming offerings and additional amenities.
The official groundbreaking ceremony has been scheduled for April 3.
“As our company marks our 50th year serving the Las Vegas Valley, we are excited to begin our latest investment in the southern Nevada community,” Boyd President and CEO Keith Smith said in a release announcing the site grading. “Cadence is one of the fastest-growing master-planned communities in the nation, and we look forward to providing our neighbors with a modern and compelling gaming entertainment experience when Cadence Crossing Casino opens its doors in mid-2026.”
Boyd has 28 properties in 11 states, including three in downtown Las Vegas and seven locals properties across the Las Vegas Valley. Its Eastside Cannery property north of the Cadence site on Boulder Highway never reopened after closing during the coronavirus pandemic in 2020.
