Boyd Gaming broke ground on April 3, 2025, on Cadence Crossing Casino, the company's newest property in southern Nevada.

Located on Boulder Highway adjacent to the master-planned community of Cadence, Cadence Crossing will feature a casino entertainment experience with 450 slot machines and several food and beverage offerings. The property is scheduled to open in mid-2026, replacing Jokers Wild Casino, which dates to the 1990s.

The project will span 50,000 sq. ft., including a 10,000-sq.-ft. casino, according to reviewjournal.com. A $100 million capital expenditure allocation on the company's balance sheet will cover the costs of the projects, as well as renovations at another property.

To celebrate the start of the project, Boyd Gaming senior executives and elected officials from the city of Henderson participated in a formal groundbreaking ceremony at the development site. Participants included Marianne Johnson, executive chairman of Boyd Gaming; Keith Smith, president and CEO; Ted Bogich, chief operating officer; Steve Schutte, executive vice president of operations; and Henderson Mayor Michelle Romero.

"As we celebrate Boyd's 50th year in business, we are excited to begin development of our newest entertainment destination in the Las Vegas Valley," Schutte said. "Cadence Crossing will allow us to better serve the rapidly-growing master-planned community of Cadence — and to further expand our presence in Henderson as the Cadence community continues to grow in the years ahead."

Boyd Gaming Corp. is a geographically diversified operator of 28 gaming entertainment properties in 11 states and also is a strategic partner and 5 percent equity owner of FanDuel Group, the sports-betting operator.
