Info
El Rancho Vegas was a hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip. It was located at 2500 Las Vegas Boulevard, at the southwest corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Sahara Avenue, in what is now known as Winchester, Nevada. The El Rancho Vegas opened on April 3, 1941. Until 1942, it was the largest hotel in Las Vegas with 110 rooms. On June 17, 1960, the El Rancho Vegas' main building, including the casino and restaurants, was destroyed in a fire. Later in the 1960s, the property operated as a non-gaming motel known as the El Rancho Vegas Motor Inn. By 1979, the buildings had been demolished or removed. In 1982, the El Rancho Hotel and Casino – formerly known as the Thunderbird and later as the Silverbird – opened across the street from the former site of the El Rancho Vegas, creating some confusion.
