The Boardwalk hotel and casino was owned and operated MGM Mirage. It was part of the Holiday Inn hotel chain but left after being acquired by Mirage Resorts. It was built before the era of the mega-casinos, and is consequently tiny in comparison to many of its neighbors. It had 654 rooms.

Most visitors to Las Vegas would argue the best feature of the Boardwalk is the location on the "Strip": in between the plush Bellagio and the Monte Carlo and across from the Paris, Aladdin and MGM Grand.

The hotel's Coney Island theme can be seen in it's facade with an original 1906 parachute drop ride and a wooden (non-functioning) roller coaster. (Hotel employees report that people frequently come into the hotel demanding to ride the roller coaster.) The hotel is comprised of 3 distinct buildings all built at different times. The newest building is the 16 story tower built in 1996. The Steeplechase building is 6 stories and the Luna Park building was the original 4 story structure when the hotel first opened.

History

Originally an independently owned hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip, the Boardwalk became owned by a public corporation (Boardwalk Casino, Inc.) in 1994.

The Boardwalk as acquired by Mirage Resorts in 1997.

Sometime in the 2000s the Surf Buffet converted to a 24 hour buffet, the only one on the Las Vegas Strip.

The hotel and casino closed on January 9, 2006. The site will become part of the land being used for Project City Center, currently in development.

Norbert Jansen

Norm Jansen founded the Boardwalk in 1977. He started out at the Pioneer Club and then opened a gift shop at what was to be the site of the Boardwalk in 1972. When he sold the Boardwalk, he still retained a gift shop in the hotel. His daughter continued to operate that gift shop until the hotel closed.
