Las Vegas has had quite a year of ups and downs. In March all of Nevada’s casinos closed in a shock to the entire city. Early June brought a re-opening of casinos, but since then many have struggled to get customers while others have remained shuttered. To this date many casinos across Las Vegas remain closed with their windows boarded up. When will they re-open?
On this closed casinos of Las Vegas tour we’ll look at all of the casinos which are still closed in the Las Vegas area as of 2021. These casinos have all been closed for 9+ months and none have a re-opening date set. We’ll also check out a casino that recently reopened to see what it looks like after being closed for 9 months.

Which still closed casino is the biggest surprise to you?
Awesome video, thank you.
I lived in Vegas in the 90s, what a roaring town it was! I had so much fun…parties every night! The palms was a blast when it first opened, I used to do open mic night there with all the local musicians …
It will always be home. I'm just 4 hours away in northern Arizona now. Hopefully it will reopen soon. I would definitely move back..I love the big open skies…and the crisp air in the winter…much love.
❎. Ghost city.
Could turn town buildings
into facilities for the homeless.
🤺💐
Sir Palms is owned by Leonard Green & Associates took it over from Maluf brothers an since mr Green died in 2020 so that's why Palms sit ideal now!
Sir u should know this living in vegas,I would think:)
There all called Aquariums because the casinos are Empty few casinos have action on weekends slots very lil games going&poker.People are afraid to catch Corona its z entire Countrys like"end of the world atmosphere"now&days,people out of control,police out of control&our govt.wy way outa control it's a Free For All our govt
So mad I was in the MGM at the Fury Wilder fight this time last year
Glad to see casinos die off.
If I need to stay somewhere and Sam's Town is fully booked I stay at Eastside Cannery.
It was a terrible Casino. Rooms sucked gaming floor was a nite mare.
Terrible location
is circus circus closed down
stay closed, keep families with faith in fellows – go away and keep your lies with you
I was in Vegas 3 weeks ago… the restos were full of people and the casinos were open… I stayed at a hotel and it seemed like things were back to normal except maybe lack of concerts and live shows like before…. but other than that…. people were still gambling.
I’m 69. First went to Vegas in 1970. Always thought this was possible but, never thought I would see it in my lifetime. All done by design. Sad
The amazing silk kinetically delight because enemy unequivocally drop absent a unable fish. learned, hilarious jam
GOOD. These dens of sin should be torn down.
The slots suck niow all that bright lights crap and video games. I loved old spring boing machines. Gambling died 30 years ago.
with this ghost town .. How do homleses survive ??
The casinos are closing because it is THE END OF THE WORLD so there's no point in the existence of The City of Sin.
A few months ago I went to Wynn Casino, expecting to be Comped for EVERYTHING and ANYTHING, and Wynn Management Comped your ABSOLUTELY ENRAGED JUDGEMENT DAY LORD with their dipshit security following me around their casino like I was some kind of casino scammer.
Well Quetzalcoatl uses a Military Tactic called RETREAT THEN ATTACK, so how's about I say that my RETREAT from Wynn Casino had a Time-Delay from when it ATTACKED, which is RIGHT NOW.
Look what Quetzalcoatl did to Twitter International in San Francisco, and eBay as well as the city of San Jose which is around it. Now it's Wynn Casinos turn.
What if Quetzalcoatl were to PUNCH microscopic Las Vegas from below as well, you greedy irreverent worthless humans?
"Weren't a huge success." More like financial disaster.
Took over an hour to roll down las Vegas Blvd. Off the 95
Construction , just a big mess. Headed south to boulder city. To find motel instead. Maybe it will be back to normal by summer.
I worked at 2 of these before fiesta and Rio and frequented El dorado almost daily… Never close down again Vegas the government only has the power you allow it
When my family would come to vegas we all would meet at the main street casino- its so sad its closed down
I do miss the mainstreet casino when my family comes here from hawaii we use to meet and eat at the buffet and play the slot machine we had alot of good memories there
Megapot Golf +++++++ Vegas
It’s probably sad but true, some of these properties will not reopen. They may eventually open under a new owner with a new name. There’s too much money involved and massive refinancing will be required to open some of them. Stayed at the Rio once. Won’t go back, it’s outdated and kinda dirty. Needs a massive renovation.
The house always wins…… Not this time😷😋
The Fiesta is NOT in Las Vegas. It's in Henderson. It was more of less a dump when it first opened. Smaller gaming area, almost all slot and video poker machines. Tiny area for only 20 table games. I stayed a night in the hotel and it was a dump. Dirty carpeting, dull lighting. When station casinos took it over. They attempted to clean it up. They worked on the casino part, but not the hotel. That's what killed it. Main Street Station. Open at the worst time. Downtown Las Vegas as the last place you wanted to be at that time. They thought this new elegant casino/hotel would draw people downtown. It didn't. First the closed the hotel. Then reopened the hotel and closed the casino part. Then closed it all down until it was sold, and the casino opened again.
Spring break 2021 Vegas is poppin !
The old saying: "You can't be honest and make it in Vegas". Let it be a ghost town.
As a laid off Palms employee, I’m sad to sit it just sitting. 😞
“Sorry folks, we’re closed for two weeks to clean and repair America’s Faaaaav-orite Fam-ily Fun Park! Sooorrrryyy! A-huh-A-huh-A-huh!”

“Sorry folks, we’re closed for two weeks to clean and repair America’s Faaaaav-orite Fam-ily Fun Park! Sooorrrryyy! A-huh-A-huh-A-huh!”
So sad! All the destruction & devastation this PLANdemic caused. Those behind it & pushed the fear to stretch it out for so long should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity! One day it will be known & Justice has to be served!!
THE GOVERNOR OF NEVADA, STEVE SISOLAK, IS A POLITICAL CHUMP, A WATERBOY FOR THE HIGHER UPS IN THE DEMOCRAT, PROGRESSIVE, LEFTISTS FOOD CHAIN. HE WILL DO WHATEVER HE IS TOLD BY THOSE HIGHER IN THE FOOD CHAIN. THERE IS NO ECONOMIC MODEL THAT SUPPORTS HIS WORK. ELIMINATING JOBS THAT RESULT IN LESS PEOPLE PAYING TAXES AND FORCING THOSE THAT ARE STILL EMPLOYED, LUCKILY, TO PICK UP THE SLACK DOESN'T WORK.
Question. These shuttered Casinos were most likely failing before Covid. What bother ever reopening them ??
1:06 The information about the Palms and the "entertainment and fixed cost structure associated with chaos [the night club]" might be of interest to another property just about to open not very far away.
Wacha ghost town, spirit of resident evil, will reality return?? 🙄😕
Post zombie apocalypse.
I left Vegas in winter of 2018. On previous trips I have stayed at Main Street Station, Fiesta Henderson 2x, and Colorado Belle 2x. As a hospitality/ rideshare driver, after the 2017 Mandalay Bay incident, tourism suffered. Never imagined this though.
I heard the tribal Hard Rock group out of Florida was interested in the PALMS, hmm that would be cool ! Yeah great memories of the PALMS ! it was Booming !! so much celebrities there !! At one point ! And The Pearl venue hosted soo many great bands !!
We took our summer vacay there the last week of June this year and everything had just opened back up in the beginning of June they said…it was packed out in Vegas! They mustve only just closed back down since the latest Covid Variant started getting reported right after that…It was ramping up in California while we were there, and Vagas is their neighbor…
It stinks at the Palm is closed hopefully it will open soon
Government is the Enemy of the People!
They should close the Excalibur. It's very tired, has been for at least two decades. It was the first big new themed hotel on the strip, but then they built a lit of nicer properties afterwards. There is nothing special about it.
I'm not surprised. When you have DEMOCRATS killing everything, what do you expect?
