An off-Strip casino you’ve probably never visited, Eastside Cannery, is set for demolition.<\/p>\n

Because you have excellent taste in news sources, you knew this back in September when we told you<\/a> Eastside Cannery would be demolished. In the words of a gladiator in his pre-plump prime, “Are you not entertained?”<\/p>\n

Eastside Cannery didn’t reopen following the pandemic. Owner Boyd Gaming says there isn’t sufficient market demand to reopen the casino. Rather than let a competitor reopen the place, it’s coming down and an angel will lose its wings.<\/p>\n

Why “cannery”? It was meant to evoke a retro Americana feel, celebrating blue-collar roots and old Vegas authenticity rather than the glitz of the Strip. So, yeah, random.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That’s pretty much the whole story. There was a deal in place to sell Eastside Cannery to an RV sales company, but that fell through.<\/p>\n

Seriously, you are so spoiled knowing news weeks, months and years before it’s shared by local news.<\/p>\n

\n

Word is sale of Eastside Cannery has fallen through due to “cooling plants” not functioning, whatever those might be. Now appears there will be a demolition and zoning change to housing, what’s known in the industry as “sad trombonery.”<\/p>\n
