Local Historic Casino Being Sold

By Rick Andrews

MGM Resorts International is selling a Henderson casino that was built before the Hoover Dam and contains a vault that once guarded wages for the project's construction workers.

The casino company announced yesterday that it would sell the 83-year-old Railroad Pass Hotel and Casino to Henderson-based First Federal Realty. The new owners say they plan to keep all current employees.
