Boyd Gaming Corporation has announced that its newest Southern Nevada property, Cadence Crossing, is scheduled to open in Henderson by late March 2026. The announcement came during an earnings call where executives expressed optimism for the coming year following a record performance in 2025.
The new 50,000-square-foot facility is located along Boulder Highway and is designed to replace the aging Jokers Wild Casino. This project represents the first new casino development for the company in the Las Vegas Valley in more than two decades. The initial phase of Cadence Crossing will feature a 10,000-square-foot gaming floor equipped with 450 slot machines and video poker options. The site will also include a central bar and several new dining outlets.
Chief Executive Officer Keith Smith noted that the timing of the opening aligns with significant residential growth in the east Henderson area. The Cadence master-planned community, which sits adjacent to the site, was identified as one of the fastest-growing residential developments in the United States last year. This local growth is expected to provide a consistent customer base for the new venue.
The project is part of a broader capital investment strategy. Boyd Gaming reported total revenues of 4.09 billion dollars for 2025. While the company saw record annual revenue, management is focusing on modernizing its portfolio to maintain momentum. Beyond the Henderson project, the company is completing renovations at the Suncoast in Summerlin and planning future upgrades for The Orleans.
Cadence Crossing is being developed with future expansion in mind. While the March opening focuses on the casino and dining components, the company has outlined potential secondary phases. These future plans include the demolition of the existing Jokers Wild structure to make room for additional gaming space and a four-story hotel featuring 114 guestrooms.
Company officials stated that employees currently working at Jokers Wild will transition to the new property upon its completion. The development is seen as a strategic move to capture the increasing demand in the suburban Henderson market, which has remained resilient even as destination tourism in the downtown corridor experienced fluctuations.
