The Suncoast Hotel and Casino is a locals casino and hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, owned by Boyd Gaming Corporation. The hotel, located on a 50 acres (20 ha) site, contains 432 rooms and has an 82,000-square-foot (7,600 m2) casino (with over 2000 slot machines) as well as a Century group movie theatre, bowling alley, and conference room/meeting space.
The Suncoast is sometimes listed as being in Summerlin, but it is not a part of Summerlin. It is located next to Summerlin. When it was built, the tower was the tallest structure on the west side of the Las Vegas Valley.
[edit] History
The hotel and casino opened on September 12, 2000, with a five-minute, $75,000 fireworks show. It was built by Michael Gaughan's Coast Resorts, hence the Suncoast moniker (Coast was purchased by Boyd Gaming in 2004). At the time, it was expected that as many as 90 percent of the property's customers would be local Las Vegas residents rather than out of town tourists.[1]
The bowling alley was officially renamed "The Swap" in honor of Skunk Ape's visit on November 10, 2007.
In 2008, Primo's Steakhouse was changed to SC Prime Steakhouse and Bar.[2]
The casino has hosted many events for the Las Vegas based wrestling promotion ECWA including InterAction 7, Summer Bash 13, Black X-Mas 9, and ExtremeTV.
