Evidence-Bounded List of Casinos in Nevada
By Dale Merrin ·
Overview
Yes. The table below provides an alphabetical, evidence-bounded list of Nevada casino properties identified in the supplied directories. It organizes them by locality, county, and practical gaming region where those fields are supported. It is not a definitive list of currently operating casinos because current official property rows were not supplied.
That limitation matters when you are planning a visit. Commercial directories may include former names, closed properties, or replacement casinos alongside operating destinations. They also use different definitions of “casino.” Some count conventional resorts, while broader totals may include small restricted slot locations.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board publishes reports covering restricted and nonrestricted locations, addresses, gaming-device counts, and detailed license information for active locations. Those reports provide the appropriate verification path, but their current property-level rows are not reproduced in the evidence available for this article.
Use this page as a starting directory, not as proof that a property is open, licensed under a particular category, or located at an unchanged address. Before making travel plans, check the selected property against the Board’s current reports.
Nevada Casino List by City and Region
The following Nevada casino list contains only names and locations directly visible in the supplied source excerpts. It is alphabetical by casino name. “Las Vegas area,” “Lake Tahoe,” and “other Nevada community” are navigation labels for readers, not official license categories or Nevada Gaming Control Board districts.
A status of “verify” means the source establishes the property’s appearance in a casino directory but does not provide a reliable, universal verification date showing that it is currently operating. Blank source fields are shown as “not supplied” instead of being filled through inference.
| Casino name | City or legal locality | County | Gaming region | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bellagio | Paradise | Clark County | Las Vegas area | Verify current status |
| Bighorn Casino | North Las Vegas | Clark County | Las Vegas area | Verify current status |
| Bill’s Casino Lake Tahoe | Stateline | Douglas County | Lake Tahoe | Verify current status |
| Binion’s | Not supplied in excerpt | Not supplied in excerpt | Not established | Verify current status |
| Border Inn Casino | Baker | Not supplied in excerpt | Other Nevada community | Verify current status |
| Longstreet Inn Casino and RV Resort | Amargosa Valley | Not supplied in excerpt | Other Nevada community | Verify current status |
The Bellagio, Bighorn Casino, Bill’s Casino Lake Tahoe, and Binion’s names come from the source-supported statewide Nevada casino table. That table uses fields including casino, city, county, district, type, and comments. The excerpt explicitly pairs Bellagio with Paradise and Clark County, Bighorn Casino with North Las Vegas and Clark County, and Bill’s Casino Lake Tahoe with Stateline and Douglas County.
The Casino City Nevada directory supplies the Border Inn Casino entry under Baker and the Longstreet Inn Casino and RV Resort entry under Amargosa Valley. Its directory can be ordered by city or name, which makes it useful for discovery, but the supplied excerpt does not establish either property’s county or current license status.
The short table reflects an evidence boundary, not the actual scale or geographic reach of Nevada gaming. Travel Nevada describes licensed casinos ranging from large Strip resorts to smaller properties and identifies destinations beyond Las Vegas and Reno-Tahoe, including Laughlin, Ely, Mesquite, West Wendover, and Jackpot. However, the supplied excerpt does not give property-level rows for those communities, so adding names would require unsupported information.
This approach also avoids converting a directory’s marketing or navigation structure into an official classification. If you need a casino in a particular destination, filter first by the familiar region, then confirm the precise locality and address in an official location report.
Las Vegas Destination Labels and Legal Localities
A property described to travelers as being in Las Vegas may have Paradise, Winchester, Enterprise, Whitney, or another Clark County community in its locality field. The supplied community explanation of Las Vegas-area casino locations identifies those places as unincorporated communities that are commonly thought of as Las Vegas.
The statewide casino table illustrates the distinction by listing Bellagio in Paradise, Clark County. That does not prevent readers or travel materials from treating it as a Las Vegas destination. It means the familiar destination label and the more specific locality answer different questions.
For practical use, a strong directory should preserve both when the evidence supports them. “Las Vegas area” helps you build an itinerary, while “Paradise, Clark County” helps you reconcile addresses and official records. Replacing the locality with the marketing label would reduce precision. Showing only the locality could make a familiar Las Vegas-area property harder to find.
Do not infer the locality merely from a property’s branding, postal presentation, or regional reputation. When it matters, match the property name and street address against the Nevada Gaming Control Board’s restricted and nonrestricted location report.
What Counts as a Casino in This List
This directory uses a bounded, practical definition: it includes named Nevada properties presented as casinos in the supplied casino directories. It does not attempt to include every business holding a Nevada gaming license, and it does not treat every licensed slot location as a conventional casino.
The distinction comes from the Nevada Gaming Control Board’s June 2026 informational report. According to that report, a nonrestricted gaming license is typically associated with a property having at least 16 slot devices, or a property combining any number of slot devices with another live game, gaming device, race book, or sports pool. The category can also cover a slot-machine route or mobile gaming system, so “nonrestricted license” is not automatically identical to “casino resort.”
The same report describes restricted gaming licenses as covering 15 or fewer gaming devices, with no table games, at locations such as bars, taverns, supper clubs, and convenience stores. Gaming can therefore exist at a business whose primary identity is not a casino.
That is why adding every restricted location would change the article’s job. A traveler asking for casinos generally needs recognizable gaming properties organized by destination, not every convenience store or tavern with a limited number of machines. Conversely, excluding restricted locations from this directory does not imply that their gaming is unlicensed or unofficial. It simply keeps unlike types of locations from being presented as though they were equivalent.
Travel plazas and similarly named businesses require the same caution. A casino directory may include them as destinations, but the evidence must identify the actual property before it can be added. The property name alone should not be used to infer its license category, game mix, lodging, or operating status.
Why Nevada Casino Counts Differ
Published Nevada casino totals differ because sources count different things, apply different dates, and sometimes use the word “casino” for categories that are not directly comparable.
For example, the American Casino Guide directory says Nevada has more than 330 casinos. Travel Nevada uses the broader description “hundreds of licensed casinos.” Neither supplied excerpt defines a property-by-property inclusion test that would let you convert those statements into an exact current total of conventional casinos.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board reports more precise figures, but they are license-category figures rather than a single count of casino properties. As of June 30, 2025, its informational report listed 134 Nonrestricted Group I licenses, 322 Nonrestricted Group II licenses, 47 slot-route operator licenses, 388 manufacturer or distributor licenses, 33 licenses in an “Other” category, and 2,072 restricted licenses. The published total was 2,996 licenses.
That 2,996 figure is not the answer to “How many conventional casinos operate in Nevada?” It includes manufacturers, distributors, restricted locations, route operators, and other categories that should not be counted as individual casino destinations.
The report also states that 305 nonrestricted licensees grossing more than $1 million in gaming revenue generated revenue during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. That is a revenue-qualified group of licensees, not a complete property inventory. It excludes nonrestricted licensees outside the stated revenue threshold and does not resolve whether every licensee corresponds to one visitor-facing casino.
An exact answer therefore needs three inputs: a date, a definition of “casino,” and current rows showing which qualifying locations are active. Without all three, a precise statewide total would create more certainty than the evidence supports.
Closed, Renamed, and Replacement Casinos
Closed and replacement properties should be separated from the main lookup table. Otherwise, a familiar name can look like a current destination even when the source describes it as closed or superseded.
The supplied evidence supports one explicit closure and replacement relationship. It does not provide enough property-level detail to populate separate temporary-closure or announced-development entries.
| Property | Structured status | Related name or event | What the supplied evidence establishes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cadence Crossing Casino | Replacement property | Replaced Jokers Wild | The directory identifies Cadence Crossing Casino as the replacement for Jokers Wild; verify its current license and operating details |
| Jokers Wild | Closed | Replaced by Cadence Crossing Casino | The directory explicitly marks Jokers Wild as closed |
The relationship comes from the American Casino Guide’s Nevada directory, which marks Jokers Wild as closed and says it was replaced by Cadence Crossing Casino. The excerpt supports the replacement relationship, but it does not provide a current official license row for Cadence Crossing Casino. “Replacement property” should therefore not be silently converted into “verified operating.”
A rename is different from a replacement. With a rename, the former name should usually remain an alias attached to the same property record. With a replacement, the old and new properties may need separate records connected by a relationship field. Treating every former name as a separate casino can inflate totals and produce duplicate search results.
The statewide source excerpt includes a “Formerly Bally’s” comment, showing that former-name information is part of casino-directory data. However, the excerpt does not preserve enough row context to attach that comment safely to a named current property. This article therefore does not guess at the association.
The broader Las Vegas casino directory separates Strip casinos, downtown properties, greater metropolitan properties, and defunct casinos. That structure is useful because it prevents defunct names from appearing indistinguishably beside active-looking entries. It does not, by itself, verify the present status of every listed property.
For any maintained Nevada casino directory, status should be a dedicated field with a supporting source and verification date. Useful values include operating, temporarily closed, closed, renamed, replacement, and announced. If the evidence establishes only a historical relationship, the record should say exactly that.
How to Verify a Casino’s Current License and Details
Use the Nevada Gaming Control Board’s current reports before relying on a casino’s name, address, or operating status. A commercial directory is useful for discovering properties, but the Board’s reports are the stronger source for license-level confirmation.
The Board’s Statistics and Publications page describes a Restricted and Nonrestricted Locations Report containing the names and addresses of licensed locations. It also provides a Nonrestricted Count Report that lists nonrestricted locations with the quantity and denomination of gaming devices and the type and quantity of table games.
A practical verification sequence is:
- Search the Board’s location resources using the casino’s current name and any supported former name.
- Match the result by address, not name alone, especially when names have been reused or changed.
- Check whether the result is restricted or nonrestricted and consult the relevant location or count report.
- Open the detailed license report for the active location when more precise license information is needed.
The Board says each active-location search result has either a “Download Report” or “Email Request” button. When an email request is required, the Board says verification may take several business days, after which the requester is notified that the Location Detail Report is available. That delay should be considered when the information is needed for publication or time-sensitive planning.
Amenities require separate evidence. The American Casino Guide says its property pages may include games, gambling-age information, photographs, maps, and directions. An operator site such as Station Casinos describes features including slot machines, table games, and race and sports books across its resort and casino destinations. Those sources can support details about properties they actually identify, but they do not establish that every Nevada casino has the same games, lodging, sportsbook, dining, or entertainment options.
The safe method is to verify the license name and address first, then add planning fields only from a source tied to that specific property. If the official record, directory entry, and property page use different names, preserve the documented former name as an alias and use the address to determine whether they refer to the same location.
