Boyd Gaming's Aggressive Expansion Strategy
Casinos run by Boyd Gaming remain on track with planned developments, overcoming tariff hindrances.
Despite economic hurdles such as increased tariffs, Boyd Gaming Corp is charging ahead with new casino projects in Nevada and Virginia. Here's the lowdown on their big plans:
Upcoming Casino in Henderson, NV - Cadence Crossing
- Status: The construction of the Cadence Crossing casino began back in April 2025. The project entails the development of a vibrant 50,000-square-foot casino on the old Joker's Wild casino site. Joker's Wild will operate concurrently until the completion of Cadence Crossing, at which point it will be torn down to make room for expanded parking facilities[2][4].
- Goals: This development aligns with a broader initiative to revitalize Boulder Highway. Future plans include the addition of a hotel and various amenities as demand increases[4]. The project is also supported by Henderson's $170 million infrastructure overhaul[4].
- Financial Investment: The Cadence Crossing casino project forms part of Boyd Gaming's $100 million capital investment strategy[4].
$750-Million Casino Project in Norfolk, VA
- Status: The Norfolk casino is a substantial $750 million project that, as of now, is on schedule[2][3]. It represents one of Boyd Gaming's significant expansion projects outside Nevada[2][3].
- Development: The project is a significant investment in Virginia and is part of Boyd Gaming's strategic expansion plans, backed by its robust financial position[3].
- Cost and Timeline: Despite external economic pressures like tariffs, the company maintains confidence that the project will proceed as intended without any budget modifications[2].
In summary, Boyd Gaming is skillfully navigating its expansion plans, drawing strength from its solid financial standing to ensure the success of both projects[2][3].
