This article is about the casino on the Boulder Strip. For the casino on the Las Vegas Strip see Castaways (casino).

The Castaways hotel and casino was a

Las Vegas, Nevada. The hotel consisted of a 19 story tower containing 445 rooms, an 80,000 square foot casino, and an adjacent RV park

.

History

The property opened in 1954 as the

megaresorts on the Las Vegas Strip. Many visitors also believed that this casino was located on the Strip since the exterior of Harrah's Las Vegas resembled a showboat

.

The Casino complex also was home to the Showboat Sports Pavilion, famous worldwide during the mid to late 1980s as the home to ESPN broadcasts of American Wrestling Association (AWA) Wrestling and International Roller Derby matches. The Pavilion would later be converted to a bowling alley.

The Showboat was sold in March, 2000 and took on the Castaways name along with a south seas theme. The new owners never did well and according to the

Station Casinos

.

Castaways closed for the last time in 2004.

Demolition began in July 2005. On January 11, 2006, the structure was fully demolished in a controlled implosion.

In order to comply with state gaming regulations to retain the gaming license for this location, a trailer with 16 slot machines was opened on the site for 8 hours on January 8, 2008.^[1] The casino, licensed and operated by United Coin Machine Co. took a single #1 bet with a $2.50 payout.^[2]

This article is about the casino on the Las Vegas Strip. For people stranded on a desert island see
Castaways hotel and casino
.

The Castaways was a
Las Vegas hotel and casino that operated from 1963 to 1987 on the Las Vegas Strip
.

History

The land that the Castaways was built on was first used in 1931 for the
front desk. Three times a day a show was put on by three naked women in the aquarium.^[1]

In February of 1970, the Castaways was sold to billionaire
Steve Wynn. Wynn then proceeded with his plans to develop a new resort on the Castaways' former grounds using the working name Golden Nugget on the Strip. The resort became Mirage and opened on November 22, 1989. A few years later, the Treasure Island
was built on more of the land that had been used as the Mirage's parking lot and additional adjacent undeveloped land.
