Ellis Island Casino Hotel & Brewery is located less than a half a mile from the Las Vegas Strip. It is a 15 min walk from Horseshoe Las Vegas. It caters to Las Vegas “locals”.
They opened in 1967 as Village Pub and became Ellis Island Casino & Brewery in 1985 (adding Hotel to the name in 2014). The hotel was renamed Ellis Island Hotel in 2017. It features 289 rooms and 12 suites. They did a major remodel in 2018 and are no longer branded with Super 8 by Wyndham.
In August 2025, they expanded the casino, almost doubling the size with almost 250 gaming devices, including both older and the latest slot and video poker machines. The casino pit has blackjack, craps and roulette with low table minimums and good rules for the player.
Boomer’s Sportsbook opened their first Las Vegas location at Ellis Island in August 2025.
They have several dining options, including:
- Ellis Island BBQ (American)
- The Front Yard (American)
- Metro Pizza (Italian)
- Via Focaccia (Italian)
- Village Pub & Cafe (American) Open 24/7 Tip: Ask the Players Club Booth about how to get the $9.99 steak special. That is a fantastic bargain.
They have several bars, including Center Bar that seats 25 guests and features a 50-foot-long LED screen. On the roof there is The Deck with outside seating and views of the Las Vegas Strip.
Ellis Island formerly had a Brewpub on-site. They still brew their own craft beers off-site at their Silver Reef Brewing Company, in St. George, Utah. Their nightly karaoke is very popular. It is owned by the Ellis family, and they have some of the friendliest employees in Las Vegas.
