Local Casino in North Las Vegas Set to Close
The Poker Palace Casino, a well-known locals casino in North Las Vegas, is preparing to close its doors on October 1, 2025. The closure is expected to result in the loss of approximately 126 jobs, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act letter.
Located at 2757 N. Las Vegas Blvd., the casino is situated near Nellis Air Force Base. First built in 1951, the casino was originally known as Bunny's Bar before changing its name to the Poker Palace Casino in 1974.
Spanning over about 25,900 square feet, the casino offers a variety of games including poker, slot machines, bingo, table games, sports betting, and a restaurant. The casino has seen its fair share of regulatory issues, with a 2006 investigation resulting in a fine for illegal racing wagers by employees.
Despite its long history and vibrant gaming floor, the reasons for the closure have not been publicly disclosed by representatives of the Poker Palace Casino. The closure was first reported by Richard N. Velotta, a reporter for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, and was not previously reported in the media.
Notifications regarding the closure and job losses have been sent to the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation, the Nevada Gaming Control Board, and the Nevada Gaming Commission. As of now, the exact reasons for the closure are unclear, leaving many in the community wondering about the future of the casino and its employees.
