History edit
Arizona Charlie's Boulder and Arizona Charlie's Decatur are the result of original efforts by the Becker family, long established developers in Las Vegas. In January 2000, American Casino & Entertainment Properties (ACEP) purchased the Sunrise Suites on Las Vegas' Boulder Highway for $43.3 million. The property's hotel had already opened, but without its casino portion, as the prior owner failed to receive a gaming license.[2] The casino opened on May 23, 2000, when the entire property was renamed Arizona Charlie's East. It was a companion to Arizona Charlie's West (later Arizona Charlie's Decatur), also owned by ACEP.[3] The two properties are 10.4 miles apart. The casino's namesake was "Arizona" Charlie Meadows, a performer in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show and a distant relative of the original owners of Arizona Charlie's Decatur, the Becker family.
The property was renamed Arizona Charlie's Boulder on January 1, 2003.[4]
In October 2017, Golden Entertainment acquired Arizona Charlie's Boulder as part of its $850 million purchase of ACEP.[5]
