The Showboat was not on the Strip, but for nearly fifty years it gave Las Vegas locals, bowlers and value-minded visitors a casino that felt like their own.
My newest casino-history documentary follows the Showboat from its difficult 1954 opening through the bowling center that changed everything, 106 lanes, the Sports Pavilion, affordable rooms and food, the Castaways rebrand, demolition and what occupies the site today.
Did you ever visit the Showboat? What do you remember most?
