Boyd Gaming Corporation is an American company based in Paradise, Nevada. It is focused in the development, ownership, and operation of casinos and hotels in and out of Nevada.
Boyd’s history can be traced back to 1941 as founder Sam Boyd first arrived in Las Vegas with his family. After acquiring a job as a dealer, he continues to work his way up in the Las Vegas casino industry until he was able to buy a small interest in the Sahara Hotel and Casino. He later left Sahara to become a partner and the general manager of The Mint Las Vegas.
With his son Bill as his partner, he acquired the Eldorado Casino. After the Mint was sold in 1968, Sam went on to work full-time for Eldorado. Boyd Gaming was then established on January 1, 1975. It was known as the Boyd Group back then and it initially had 75 investors. In 1979, Boyd Gaming performed its first expansion and opened Sam’s Town Hotel and Gambling Hall.
