Arizona Charlie's Boulder is a hotel and locals casino in Paradise, Nevada, part of the Las Vegas Valley. The hotel-casino is located on Boulder Highway, also known as the Boulder Strip.[2] It includes a 47,541 sq ft (4,416.7 m2) casino, 300 rooms, and an RV park. It is a sister property to the older Arizona Charlie's Decatur, located to the west in Las Vegas. Both are named after Arizona Charlie, a distant relative of the Becker family, who developed the original property.[3]
Arizona Charlie's Boulder opened as a non-gaming hotel in 1991, known then as Sunrise Fountain Suites. The RV park was added five years later. The casino was built in 1998, but did not open as scheduled, due to problems acquiring a gaming license. Businessman Carl Icahn, who owned the original Arizona Charlie's at the time, purchased Sunrise Suites and renamed it Arizona Charlie's East, opening the casino on May 23, 2000. The hotel-casino was renamed Arizona Charlie's Boulder in 2003, and was sold to Golden Entertainment in 2017.
