Railroad Pass Hotel & Casino, named after nearby Railroad Pass, is a casino and hotel in Henderson, Nevada.[3]
The property is sited in the far southeast corner of the city of Henderson, where it meets the northwestern portion of Boulder City, and is sandwiched between Boulder Highway (US 93/US 95) and the currently (since 1998) orphaned portion of the Boulder City spur on the Union Pacific Railroad's Henderson branch line. The initial phase of the Nevada Department of Transportation's Boulder City Bypass highway project will reconnect those tracks after relocating and upgrading this portion of the Boulder Highway to full freeway status by 2015, with a new traffic interchange and a dedicated access road maintaining full connectivity to this casino/hotel.[4]
The trailhead for the River Mountains Loop Trail is adjacent to the casino. The original junction of highways 93 and 95 was also once located in front of the property, before the present-day interchange between these two routes was constructed about one mile to the east in Boulder City.
History
Railroad Pass Club was the third casino licensed in the state of Nevada and holds license number #4 under its latest name.[5]
In September 2014, MGM Resorts International agreed to sell Railroad Pass for $8 million[6] to First Federal Realty, a Henderson-based real estate firm.[7] The sale was completed in April 2015, with Marcus Suan assuming operation of the casino while First Federal's Joseph DeSimone pursued a gaming license.[8]
