Henderson, Nev.—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. The property will distribute 1,000 of the chips to its VIP customers on New Year’s Eve, and put the remaining 1,000 into general circulation starting in January.
