On any given night, wine bars, restaurants and other entertainment outlets along Water Street in Henderson are teeming with customers.

That’s one reason why operators of the Emerald Island and Rainbow Club casinos are acquiring the neighboring The Pass Casino.

“We view this as a way to bring more people to Water Street,” Tim Brooks, the general manager ECL Water Street, said in an interview. He said that businesses in the area work in conjunction with each other to draw customers.

“I can walk right across the street to The Pass. It’s a cornerstone for the community,” Brooks said. He added the casino will close Aug. 1 for remodeling.
