On July 1, 1962, Sam and Bill
Boyd opened the Eldorado Casino, marking the first joint venture of the
legendary father-son team, and the beginning of what would become Boyd Gaming,
one of the most respected companies in the gaming industry.
To celebrate its 50th year in
operation, the downtown Henderson landmark will offer specials and promotions
throughout 2012, starting New Year’s Day:
- The Eldorado will create a
set of 2,000 commemorative, limited-edition $5 gaming chips in recognition of
the anniversary, with 1,000 into general circulation starting in January.
- In the property’s bingo
hall, any customer winning a game on “G-50” will receive a $200 cash bonus
throughout 2012.
- In a throwback to the
prices of 1962, the snack bars at both the Eldorado and Jokers Wild will offer
a variety of 50-cent specials throughout the year, including shrimp cocktails,
hot dogs, soft drinks, draft beer and coffee.
On Sunday, July 1, the
Eldorado will host a 50th anniversary celebration for the public, featuring
cake and a champagne toast.
