Orleans, Suncoast get attention in Las Vegas as Boyd Gaming details plan for Norfolk project

LAS VEGAS ( KLAS ) — Boyd Gaming announced details for a $750 million resort in the Norfolk, Virginia, area on Thursday and offered updates on renovations that are continuing at some of the company’s 10 Las Vegas casinos.

Keith Smith, president and CEO of Boyd Gaming, said renovations at several Las Vegas properties are proceeding while the Norfolk project prepares to break ground next week. The company reported third-quarter revenues of $961.2 million, up from $903.2 million in the third quarter of 2023.

The company operates casinos across the country, with the bulk of its revenue coming from operations in the Midwest and the South. The Norfolk venture involves a 200-room hotel with a casino floor big enough to accommodate 1,500 slots and 200 table games. About 1.8 million people live in the market targeted by the resort project, Smith said. A temporary casino will open in late 2025 to meet regulation requirements.

Closer to home, renovations at the 712-room Gold Coast Hotel & Casino are being completed. A similar hotel renovation project at the 1,885-room Orleans Hotel & Casino will begin soon, officials said.
