History[edit]

The resort was built on property once occupied by the Tumbleweed motel, built in ;[1] and the Pyramids motel, built in The Pyramids, a unit motel, was the first project for Las Vegas real estate developer Irwin Molasky.[2][3][4] The Tumbleweed would later become the Sand Dunes,[5] and was destroyed in a fire.[6]

Holiday Inn and Holiday Casino (–)[edit]

In March , plans were announced for a riverboat-themed casino to be built on the property. It would be developed by Holiday Queen Land Corporation, and the project would include a hotel in partnership with Holiday Inn.[7] The casino would be owned by Holiday Queen, while Holiday Inn would operate the hotel under its eponymous brand.[8] Groundbreaking took place on April 2, [9] The room hotel opened on February 1, , as the Holiday Inn Center Strip,[10] named for its location at the center of the Las Vegas Strip.[11] It consisted of a story tower.[12] The adjacent Pyramids motel was purchased later that year for $,, and was demolished to provide additional parking space.[13]

During construction, the gaming portion was known as the River Queen Casino.[14] It opened as the Holiday Casino on July 2, It included slot machines and 20 table games,[15][16] and catered to a middle-class clientele.[17] The casino's primary investors included Shelby Williams and Norman Jenson.[15][18] Williams served as the casino's president and board chairman.[17][19] He and his wife Claudine Williams had previously owned the Silver Slipper casino in the s.[20] Shelby Williams died in , at the age of 66, after a lengthy illness.[17] Claudine Williams took over operations, a rarity in the Nevada gaming industry, which generally consisted of men.[21][22] In , Holiday Inn bought a 40 percent share of the casino's parent company, Riverboat, Inc.[23][24] Claudine Williams retained the other 60 percent.[25]

In , construction began on a story tower addition with rooms. It was finished in , and the hotel became the world's largest Holiday Inn,[26][27][28] with rooms.[29] The project also increased the size of the casino.[26] Holiday Inn bought out Williams' remaining percent interest in [30][31][32] She remained as chairwoman of the property for years after the sale.[21]

In , a three-story casino addition began construction in front of the resort.[33][34][35] During the groundbreaking ceremony, outdated gaming chips from the Holiday Casino – totaling $, – were dumped into the addition's cement foundation by executives. A spokeswoman said the chips would add "color and history" to the new structure, which was built by Marnell Corrao Associates. Aside from adding casino space, the addition also included a new showroom. A renovation of the hotel rooms also took place.[35]

A one-year, $ million renovation and expansion began in , in an effort to compete with newer resorts.[36][37] The project included the addition of a third tower, rising 35 stories. It added rooms for a total of 1,, retaining the hotel's title as largest Holiday Inn.[38] The casino was also expanded by 12,&#;sq&#;ft (1,&#;m2), for a total of 74,&#;sq&#;ft (6,&#;m2).[39] A parking garage was added as well.[36]

Harrah's Las Vegas (–present)[edit]

Holiday Inn had previously purchased Harrah's, Inc. in [40] Ten years later, Holiday Inn's eponymous hotel brand was sold to Bass PLC. A corporate spinoff, The Promus Companies, was created by Holiday Inn to oversee several brands not included in the sale to Bass PLC, including Harrah's. In October , Promus announced that it would end its franchise agreement with Holiday Inn and rename the Las Vegas property under its Harrah's brand.[41][42][43] The name change was finalized in April [44][45][46]

An early morning robbery occurred in April , when four young men entered Harrah's and robbed the casino cage at gunpoint.[47] A fifth man operated the getaway vehicle for the group, which consisted of Los Angeles gang members. They were apprehended after a minute police chase,[48][49][50] and were sentenced to prison. Two other men who planned out the robbery were also sentenced.[51][52][53] The stolen money, approximately $,, was never recovered.[47][52] It was apparently handed off to another vehicle prior to the police chase.[47]

Promus was renamed Harrah's Entertainment in [43] A year later, the company began a $ million renovation and expansion of the Las Vegas property.[54][55][56] The first phase of the project, a 10,&#;sq&#;ft (&#;m2) casino addition, was opened in October [57] In total, the casino was expanded by 30,&#;sq&#;ft (2,&#;m2),[56][58] and a story addition was made to the third tower, among other changes.[59] The additions were officially unveiled with an opening ceremony in October ,[60] while final touches were concluded later that year.[56][61][59]

In September , two men were suspected of stealing from distracted gamblers in the casino. When approached by security guards, one of the men fled before guards took him down. During the struggle, he pulled out a gun and fired two shots, one injuring a guard and the other killing a year-old woman. Both men were soon apprehended.[62]

In September , Clark County building officials opened an investigation into unauthorized renovations that took place at the Rio, another Las Vegas resort owned by Harrah's Entertainment.[63] The investigation revealed that hotel renovations had also taken place at Harrah's Las Vegas in , without permitting.[64][65][66] In October , Harrah's Entertainment closed approximately rooms at Harrah's Las Vegas, allowing for investigative work and possible remediation.[63][67][68] Various fire safety hazards were uncovered, including some floors which lacked caulking, a material used to prevent smoke from spreading. The hotel reopened rooms a month later, while another continued to be brought up to code.[66][64] The resort's chief engineer faced several misdemeanor citations, and Harrah's Entertainment closed a remodeling subsidiary which oversaw the unauthorized work.[69][70] The charges were eventually dismissed.[71]

Harrah's Entertainment was renamed Caesars Entertainment in [72] A $25 million renovation of the casino floor took place in , adding new flooring, furniture, and slot machines.[73]

In November , Caesars announced it would sell the land to Vici Properties for $ billion. Caesars would continue operating Harrah's for 15 years through a leaseback agreement.[74][75] The sale was completed the following month.[76]

A renovation of the 1,room Valley Tower was completed in , at a cost of $ million. It was the tower's first renovation in more than a decade.[77][73] Renovations on the rest of the hotel concluded in , as part of a $ million, multi-year renovation, which was finished in June [78] The project included renovations on the casino floor, and new purple neon signage on the resort's exterior.[79] A sky bridge was also built to connect Harrah's to the new Caesars Forum convention facility.[80]

Features[edit]

In , the Holiday Casino became the first in Nevada to introduce computerized bingo.[81] Like other casinos on the Las Vegas Strip, Harrah's closed its poker room in , amid a decline in demand.[82] The following year, it introduced blackjack tables limited to five seats, a popular feature among players. At the time, it was the only casino on the Strip to offer such a feature.[83] As of , the casino measures 90,&#;sq&#;ft (8,&#;m2).[84] The casino floor includes a humorous statue depicting a wealthy couple, Buck and Winnie Greenback, and their poodle Chip, surrounded by money. It is a popular photo spot.[77][85][86][87]

The hotel has 2, rooms,[79] and is popular as a low-cost alternative to larger, nearby resorts.[87]

In , the Holiday Casino added an outdoor shopping plaza, named and themed after Jackson Square in New Orleans.[37][88] An outdoor retail and entertainment area, known as Carnaval Court, was added in the expansion.[56] It includes a bar and is host to live music.[89][90][87]

Design[edit]

Both the Holiday Inn and Holiday Casino were designed by architect Homer Rissman. Under the direction of the Holiday Inn company, Rissman designed the hotel portion as a plain, white-colored building, differentiating it from the separately operated casino.[91][92] The casino's exterior design was inspired by the Robert E. Lee steamboat, while the interior was replicated from the grand saloon onboard the Grand Republic riverboat.[93] A casino addition in featured an exterior resembling an old-fashioned excursion boat. This addition was attached to the original riverboat-themed casino building.[94][95]

The riverboat façade was revamped and expanded in , now consisting of a foot-long Mississippi-style riverboat with an foot paddlewheel and two foot-tall smokestacks. It stretched along the Las Vegas Strip.[29][37][39] Built at a cost of $30 million,[38] casino executives hoped that the new façade would become a popular tourist attraction.[37]

The renovation, by designer Henry Conversano,[54] removed the riverboat façade and added a Carnival/Mardi Gras theme to the resort.[96][59] A byfoot mural was added to the new façade,[97] along with several jester statues, covered in gold leaf and weighing 22,&#;lb (10,&#;kg) each.[98][77]
