An off-Strip casino-hotel known for cheap drinks, good food and low table minimums, has completed the first phase of a $35 million expansion and renovation project, just in time for an influx of holiday visitors coming to Las Vegas for a long Labor Day weekend.
Ellis Island unveiled an all-new gaming space that nearly doubles the size of the property’s casino floor, highlighted by a 25-seat center bar under a 50-foot-long LED screen, a re-imagined high-limit slot area, and a permanent home for the recently added Boomer’s Sportsbook. The expanded area brings the building closer to the street, where an exterior digital facade features over 1,200 square feet of LED lights and approximately 1,740,000 pixels.
