Opera House Casino

The Opera House Casino opened in 1979 on 2542 Las Vegas Boulevard North. Proprietor Olind Jenni bought the building, which formerly housed Don Laughlin's 101 Club, and turned it into a casino with a restaurant and bar. Jenni sold the casino in 1986. It was later purchased by Silver Nugget Gaming in 2007. The casino closed in 2014 and was later demolished.
