About Boulder Strip
The Boulder Strip runs along Boulder Highway through eastern Las Vegas and Henderson. It's the archetypal Las Vegas locals market: heavily slot-weighted, driven by resident play rather than visitation, and steadier month to month than the Strip. Separate reporting begins in 2018.
Other Nevada markets in 2005
All figures are gaming win at nonrestricted locations, taken from the Nevada Gaming Control Board's monthly Gaming Revenue Information reports. Win is what casinos kept after paying winning wagers, before taxes and operating costs. Restricted locations, the taverns and stores running fifteen machines or fewer, are reported separately and excluded here.
