Another Strip Demolition
The Casino Royale is a popular spot for those seeking some low-roller table games and slots – combined with cheap beer – right on the Vegas Strip. The $25 in free slot play for new rewards club members was also popular with guests.
That approach made the property an outlier in recent years with all of the glitz and glamour on the Strip, but the valuable real estate may now see another use. by the parent company.
“One of the key factors contributing to the potential loss of Casino Royale is the skyrocketing value of real estate along the Strip,” Law News notes. “Developers are often enticed to replace older, smaller properties with more lucrative ventures that align with the Strip’s luxurious and extravagant image.”
The hotel originally opened in 1964 as the Caravan Motor Hotel with the Nob Hill Casino also opening in 1978. The property was rebranded as Casino Royale in 1992 and purchased by Best Western in 2012.
Those looking for some cheap betting and beer may now only have months left to check out the property. This isn’t the only Strip property that faces demolition. In February, Bally’s announced that the Tropicana would be closing in April to begin redevelopment for the new stadium for the Oakland A’s.
