Casino Royale Hotel & Casino is a casino and small hotel located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. The casino caters to low rollers, and features low table minimums for roulette, craps, and blackjack.

Casino Royale until recently offered 100 times odds on craps at all times. Casino Royale now offers 100 times odds only when offering a $5 minimum bet (usually weekends), and offers 20 times odds when offering a $3 minimum bet (usually weekdays).

Casino Royale is known for its promotional slot play. Timeshare promotions in Las Vegas typically give out Casino Royale slot play, to be used at specific machines.

History [edit]

The first building on this site was Frank Musso's Restaurant, located next door to the Sands Hotel Casino. Musso's was in business during the 1950s and 60's. Later it became Joey's New Yorker Night Club, then the Nob Hill Casino.

The Nob Hill closed in 1990.

On January 1, 1992 the casino reopened as the Casino Royale. The adjacent Travelodge was purchased and used for hotel rooms.

In the late 1990s Casino Royale had highest odds allowed in craps. The game was a 50 cent minimum bet game,which allowed a player to place 100 times more in the odd bet. It was not uncommon to see 50 cent bets with $25 to $50 odds bets. This was when the rest of the Strip was allowed double to 10 times odds.

The Casino Royale was the first casino property on the Las Vegas Strip to install Geoff Hall's Blackjack variant Blackjack Switch. The success of Blackjack Switch at the Casino Royale lead to the game spreading to many other casinos.^[1]

Popular culture [edit]

• The Casino Royale was represented in the 2004 video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas as the Royal Casino.
• There is a hidden achievement in Project Gotham Racing 4 in which the player must take a picture in front of the Casino Royale while in an Aston Martin DBS.
