50th anniversary celebration at the Eldorado in Henderson

On July 1, 1962, Sam and Bill Boyd opened the downtown Henderson casino, marking the first joint venture of the legendary father-son team, and the beginning of what would become Boyd Gaming, one of the most respected companies in the gaming industry.
On Sunday, July 1 at 3 p.m., Bill Boyd will attend the official 50th anniversary celebration at the Eldorado – open to the public – featuring a champagne toast, free cake and special anniversary giveaways. In celebration of the anniversary, the downtown Henderson landmark put in circulation commemorative, limited edition $5 gaming chips. In a throwback to the prices of 1962, the snack bars at both the Eldorado and Jokers Wild will offer a variety of 50-cent specials throughout the year, including shrimp cocktails, hot dogs, hot wings, soft drinks, draft beer and coffee.
The Fiestas
For a limited time the Henderson and Rancho casino resorts are offering what may arguably be the best current value buffets in all of Las Vegas.
The 100-item (give or take) festival buffets are family-friendly priced at $3.99 for breakfast (available at Fiesta Henderson only) lunch for $4.99, and dinner for $5.99.
There are no real restrictions other than the standard “cannot be combined with any other offer or coupon.” Just mention the special offer to the buffet cashier and show a valid Boarding Pass card (free to join.) A Boarding Pass member can include three additional guests on the offer. The “limited time” is unspecified.
Hooters
The Mad Onion restaurant now features an all new “Everything Under $9.99” menu, including meals starting as low as $4.99 and graveyard specials at $2.99.
El Cortez
Throughout June, Club Cortez players winning a jackpot of $200 or more on a slot machine, $200 or more on a video poker five-cent or lower denomination machine, $300 or more on a video poker 10-cent or high denomination machine, or $200 or more on live keno will receive a free El Cortez logo Island Shirt.
Be sure to notify an attendant of your jackpot before playing it off to get your gift ticket. All jackpot winners also receive an entry into the weekly Saturday night 40” LCD HDTV giveaway and $2,000 cash prize drawing. See Club Cortez for additional information and to redeem your tickets for shirts.
Gold Coast
There is a $5,000 Hot Seat Giveaway this Thursday with $1,000 in cash prizes given away every hour from 3 to 8 p.m. Slot and video poker players with their B Connected card inserted in a machine and actively playing are eligible to win.
Silverton
Rewards Club members playing slots or video poker machines between 6 and 10 p.m., this Friday will be entered into a drawing for the chance to win $100. During these hours, 100 winners will be randomly selected to win $100 in free slot play. Lucky winning machines will be randomly chosen by selecting a reel slot, video slot or video poker machine being actively played with a Rewards Club card properly inserted.
“Actively playing” means you can’t simply insert your card in a machine and leave it there hoping to win without playing. You can only be selected if the machine is being played with money being cycled through at regular intervals. Seems simple enough but someone always asks.
Cosmopolitan
Through July 31, players have a chance to win up to $500 every day. Earn 500 points in one day on selected slots, video poker or table games to play in daily Slot Challenge. Play up to five times a day for a chance to win up to $100 each time. Daily earning period begins at 8 p.m., and lasts through 7:59 p.m., the following evening. Visit the club booth to register.
Until next week…good gaming and good luck!
