Question of the Day - 12 December 2025

The Roadhouse at 2100 N. Boulder Highway in Henderson opened in 1962 as a bar. Somewhere along the line, it turned into the Roadhouse Casino. Though it was slots-only, it held an unrestricted gambling license, which was grandfathered in by the state because it was licensed before a 200-room hotel was required for unrestricted.

The last time we wrote about it was in September 1999. "The Roadhouse is a slots-only casino and low-key biker hang-out located at the junction of Boulder Hwy. and Sunset Road. The featured steak is a huge 32-ounce top sirloin, available every day 4-10 p.m. for $5.99. It's served 'chateaubriand-style,' which means no bone, just meat. It's every bit as big as it sounds, plenty for the next day's lunch, and even dinner. Our reviewer finished half of it there, then took the rest home for steak sandwiches on two successive days. The meal comes with salad, a small potato-sort-of-thing, and rolls on request." A year later, the price went up $1 to $6.99.

Two years later, the Roadhouse closed. In 2004, the owner leased it to renters, who ran the place sporadically until 2007. Over the next few years to maintain its license, it opened one day a year and operated at least 16 slot machines for eight hours.

In 2010, a renovation was planned. Supposed to take six months, between January and early summer, that never came to fruition. 

Then Station Casinos sued the Roadhouse as part of its aggressive anti-competition campaign. 

In 2017, a California tribe showed interest in the property, but nothing came of that either. 

According to public records, the Roadhouse's 2.3-acre property was sold in March 2022 for $5.8 million as part of a multi-parcel transaction. It's currently classified as vacant land, with no public development plans announced. 

We couldn't find any recent announcements or social-media reports to indicate any imminent changes to the old place.
