The Boardwalk Hotel and Casino[a] was a Coney Island-style hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. The property began in 1966, as a Holiday Inn. Norbert Jansen added a gift shop to the hotel in 1972, and later opened the Slot Joynt casino. In 1985, Jansen renamed the Holiday Inn as the Viscount Hotel, part of a U.S. chain. Four years later, he merged Slot Joynt with the Viscount and renamed them as the Boardwalk. It rejoined the Holiday Inn chain in 1994, through a franchise deal which eventually ended in 2002.
A carnival facade was added in 1995, featuring non-functional ride replicas. A 15-story tower was finished in 1996, giving the Boardwalk a total of 653 rooms. The casino was also enlarged, bringing it to 33,000 sq ft (3,100 m2). The resort occupied 8 acres (3.2 ha). It was popular for its cheap food and rooms, and its small size compared to nearby megaresorts.
In 1998, the Boardwalk was sold to Mirage Resorts, which later became MGM Mirage. The resort closed on January 9, 2006, to help make way for MGM's 67-acre (27 ha) CityCenter project. The hotel's main tower was imploded on May 9, 2006. The former Boardwalk site is now occupied by CityCenter's Waldorf Astoria hotel.
