The Henderson City Council on Tuesday approved the building of a new hotel and casino for Jokers Wild on Boulder Highway.
City council members voted 4-1 in favor of the proposal, which parent company Boyd Gaming had to submit on appeal due to technical issues with construction timelines.
The project would be built in phases, with the first phase focused on building a new casino north of the existing Jokers Wild building, located at the corner of Boulder Highway and Warm Springs Road.
A representative for Boyd told city council members on Tuesday that the existing building would be demolished once the new casino is completed.
