Location/Transportationĭriving from Arizona, the Hacienda is the first casino you will encounter. However, The Hacienda is not located within Boulder City proper instead, it is on a small parcel of privately-owned land within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.Īccording to the Nevada Gaming Control Board, the Hacienda has 390 slots and 11 table game. Interestingly, Boulder City is one of the few cities in Nevada where gambling is outlawed (by order of the city council).
(There is another Gold Strike hotel in Jean, Nevada.) The owners bought the rights to the name of the former Hacienda hotel, which used to sit on the Las Vegas Strip where Mandalay Bay is now. The casino reopened as the Hacienda shortly thereafter. The current hotel tower and another hotel wing survived. The Hacienda is a replacement for the Gold Strike Hotel and Casino, which burned down in 1998. So if you can’t wait until Las Vegas to scratch your gambling itch, the Hacienda will fill that need. It is the first opportunity for gambling/lodging once you cross over the Arizona border on the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge. Hacienda is a small, independent casino hotel located just outside Boulder City next to the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead.
