Railroad Pass Hotel & Casino, named after nearby Railroad Pass, is a casino and hotel in Henderson, Nevada.
The casino has 12,803 square feet (1,189 m2) of gaming space, with 309 slot machines and 6 table games, and a William Hill sports and race book.
The property is sited in the far southeast corner of the city of Henderson, where it meets the northwestern portion of Boulder City, and is sandwiched between Boulder Highway (US 93/US 95) and the currently (since 1998) orphaned portion of the Boulder City spur on the Union Pacific Railroad's Henderson branch line. The initial phase of the Nevada Department of Transportation's Boulder City Bypass highway project will reconnect those tracks after relocating and upgrading this portion of the Boulder Highway to full freeway status as part of I-11 by 2018, with a new traffic interchange and a dedicated access road maintaining full connectivity to this casino/hotel.
The trailhead for the River Mountains Loop Trail is adjacent to the casino. The original junction of highways 93 and 95 was also once located in front of the property, before the present-day interchange between these two routes was constructed about one mile to the east in Boulder City.
The casino opened on August 1, 1931. Railroad Pass Club was the third casino licensed in the state of Nevada and holds license number #4 under its latest name.
Bob Verchota purchased the property in 1975. In 1985, Verchota sold it to Michael Ensign, William Richardson, and David Belding, owners of the nearby Gold Strike Casino. Railroad Pass became part of their company, Gold Strike Resorts. Subsequently it became part of Circus Circus Enterprises (later Mandalay Resort Group), which purchased Gold Strike Resorts in 1995, and then MGM Mirage (later MGM Resorts International), which acquired Mandalay in 2005.
