Roski purchased an 80-acre parcel in 1989, and originally planned to build an industrial warehouse on the site, before deciding on a casino instead. It is owned and operated by Ed Roski Jr., and is located three miles south of the Las Vegas Strip.
It features a rustic lodge theme and a 65,556 sq ft (6,090.4 m 2) casino. Silverton (formerly Boomtown Las Vegas) is a 300-room hotel and casino in Enterprise, Nevada, near the southern end of the Las Vegas Valley.
