Eastside Cannery: The $250 Million Vegas Casino Left to Rot

Las Vegas doesn't do abandoned. Except it does. And this one cost $250 million. The Eastside Cannery opened with big promises, a massive investment, and every reason to succeed. It had a prime location, a loyal local crowd, and the full backing of one of Vegas's biggest casino operators. For a while, it worked. Then the doors closed. The slot machines went dark. The poker tables were folded up and hauled away. And a quarter-billion-dollar building was left standing in the Nevada sun with nowhere to go. In a city built on reinvention, the Eastside Cannery became something Las Vegas almost never produces; a visible, undeniable failure. And the story of how it got there is one of the most revealing in Vegas history. #EastsideCannery #LasVegas #AbandonedCasino #VegasCasino #LasVegasHistory #AbandonedAmerica #ForgottenAmerica #CasinoHistory #LasVegasSecrets #DeadCasino Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction 0:23 - The Boulder Highway 1:17 - What replaced Nevada Palace 2:32 - Boyd Gaming 3:25 - The closure due to public health measures 4:26 - What it served during its closure 5:06 - Locals Relocation 5:50 - Boyd’s Gaming geographic strategies 7:11 - Eastside Cannery’s Demolition 8:40 - The notable casino implosion 8:59 - What was planned after its implosion 👇 Have you ever driven past the Eastside Cannery?
