Las Vegas is set to welcome another casino next month as Boyd Gaming prepares to open Cadence Crossing Casino in late March. The new property will feature 10,000 square feet of gaming space and 450 slot machines, adding to the city’s expanding casino landscape alongside recent openings like Fontainebleau and Durango.
Located on Boulder Highway in the southeast valley, Cadence Crossing sits adjacent to Boyd’s existing Jokers Wild Casino. The company plans to eventually expand the gaming floor and may add a hotel in future construction phases.
“The adjacent community of Cadence is growing rapidly, with more than 1,200 homes sold in 2025 alone,” said Boyd Gaming President and CEO Keith Smith. “This is the third-best sales performance of any master-planned community in the country.”
Focus on Slots, No Poker Room
Unlike many of its counterparts, Cadence Crossing will not feature a poker room. The casino will focus primarily on slots and video poker, alongside dining and cocktail options for guests. Following the opening, Boyd plans to close Jokers Wild.
The company’s portfolio in Las Vegas includes well-known properties like The Orleans, Gold Coast, Main Street Station, California, and Fremont, among others, as well as additional casinos across the United States.
Context in the Las Vegas Casino Scene
Las Vegas has seen major casino openings in recent years, including the $3.7 billion Fontainebleau on the north Strip and Station Casinos’ $780 million Durango in the southwest valley, both in 2023. In contrast, Cadence Crossing is designed as a smaller, locals-focused property.
Elsewhere in the region, Poker Palace in North Las Vegas may be undergoing a revival under new ownership. Truckee Gaming purchased the hotel-less casino in August and plans renovations.
In related corporate news, Boyd Gaming sold its remaining 5% stake in FanDuel to Flutter Entertainment in July for $1.76 billion, exiting its investment in the online sports betting operator.
