Boardwalk Hotel and Casino

The Coney Island styled Boardwalk Hotel and Casino was built in 1977 in Las Vegas, Nevada by Norm Jansen, the original owner of the property. Shortly thereafter the property became a public corporation, Boardwalk Casino, Inc. It was then acquired by the Holiday Inn hotel chain which operated the hotel until it was sold to MGM Mirage Resorts in 1997.
