Eastside Cannery opened on August 28, 2008, on Boulder Highway, replacing the smaller Nevada Palace on a larger redeveloped site. Construction had begun while parts of the older hotel-casino continued operating. Nevada Palace closed on February 29, 2008, and was cleared; its roadside area became parking in front of the new resort.
The new Eastside Cannery was more than a change of signs. Its hotel, casino, restaurants, ballroom and entertainment spaces created a much larger destination. It borrowed the industrial theme of the original Cannery in North Las Vegas, while serving a different neighborhood of the Valley. The two Cannery properties were sister resorts, not successive names for one building.
Boyd Gaming acquired both properties on December 20, 2016. Its filing identified the Eastside operating company as Nevada Palace, LLC, a surviving legal name. That company name does not mean the demolished Nevada Palace casino and the later Eastside resort were the same physical property.
Eastside Cannery closed to the public on March 18, 2020, during the statewide pandemic shutdown. Unlike the North Las Vegas Cannery, it never reopened. Boyd later said there was insufficient demand to bring it back, with some business having shifted to nearby Sam’s Town.
The closure became permanent. Demolition plans were announced in October 2025, and the hotel tower was imploded shortly after 2 a.m. on March 5, 2026. Boyd’s June 2026 filing confirmed the implosion and described work to clear and restore the land as underway. Possible housing redevelopment was discussed; it was not an operating replacement casino.
The map preserves a point within the former main building’s outline. Some community mapping still labels that outline as a building, but the demolition evidence takes precedence: visitors should understand it as a former site. Nevada Palace’s approximate roadside location lies farther west within the larger redevelopment area. The two points show successive uses of the same broader site, without claiming identical walls or footprints.
