Casino owner Boyd Gaming Corp. still hasn’t reopened Eastside Cannery from the pandemic shutdowns, though it just spent a big sum of money on the property.
Boyd purchased the land underneath its shuttered hotel-casino on Boulder Highway in the eastern Las Vegas Valley for $45 million, property records indicate. The sale closed last week.
The company had acquired Eastside Cannery in 2016 but was leasing the land.
Last year, Boyd said in a letter to Clark County officials that market conditions did not support the property’s reopening amid “plenty of excess capacity” at its neighboring Sam’s Town hotel-casino.
