Eureka Casino Resort
Eureka Casino Resort is a hotel and casino in Mesquite, Nevada. It is located only minutes from the Las Vegas Strip. It initially operated under the name Rancho Mesquite.
The Eureka Casino began as Friendly Fergie’s Casino in the early 1960s and was renamed The Eureka Casino in the mid-1990s when the Lee family began actively operating the business. The newly remodeled Eureka Casino is a favorite of locals and tourists alike as “the original neighborhood casino.”
The casino has continued to thrive without interruption for more than 50 years because of the Lee family philosophy of loose slots, high payouts, customer service, and great rewards.
In November 1999, the Lee family was planning to rename the Rancho Mesquite as the Eureka, to avoid confusion with other businesses such as the Mesquite Star. A contest was also launched for customers to submit their own name ideas with the chance of being selected instead of “Eureka”. Nearly 1,500 names were submitted by more than 700 participants. On December 31, 1999, the Lee family announced that Eureka would be the new name. The Lees already operated a small Eureka casino in the Las Vegas Valley. Greg Lee said, “We’ve always liked the name, ‘Eureka’. It is synonymous with discovery, excitement, and finding something valuable. The slogan, ‘Eureka, I’ve Found It,’ has been a part of western lore since the Gold Rush in 1849. Furthermore, the name is short, active and usable on billboards”.
In 2016, the Eureka was sold to its 550 employees through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), becoming one of two casinos in the United States to be employee-owned.
