For those that don’t know, Boulder Highway is a busy North South thoroughfare on the east side of the Las Vegas Valley. There are five casinos located on Boulder Highway from Tropicana Avenue to Highway 95 that cater almost exclusively to local gamblers. In the past, for the most part, the locals got the most bang for their hard earned buck playing in these casinos.

In the past, the Boulder Highway casinos have had a large selection of these player favorable, full pay machines which the locals want and demand from their neighboring casinos.
