In late 2023, what was once Irene’s Casino in Pahrump was acquired by ECL Gaming and has been rebranded as Jackpot Joanie’s, a popular casino chain with more than two dozen locations across Southern Nevada.
The transformation took many months and included updates and refurbishments, along with an expansion of the existing building to provide additional space for gaming and even a section specifically for non-smoking gamblers – but it wasn’t all change. Many of the very same staff members from the Irene’s Casino days can still be found pouring drinks and serving up food. And one of the links to the property’s history, the restaurant, has been memorialized as Irene’s Corner Café, where old favorites and new offerings combine to create a menu full of satisfying options.
