Beer is quite likely the world's most popular,  and, oldest, alcoholic beverage.  As the temperatures in Henderson start climbing over the century mark, doesn't  an ice cold glass or frosty bottle of beer sound really, really good?  We think so and that's why we take our beer selection very seriously at the Emerald Island Casino.  ​

For many years, there were very few beers that were commercially available.  In recent years, microbreweries have sprung up all over the world.  A microbrewery or craft brewery is a brewery that produces small amounts of beer. ​

It is thought that playing cards were first invented in Imperial China. Evidence of card games has been discovered which dates back to as early as 9th century. The game we know as poker has evolved from ancient card games and has been influenced by games crossing several continents and cultures. Some historians believe that poker’s origins can be traced to a domino-card game played by a 10th-century Chinese emperor; others claim it is a descendant of the Persian card game “As Nas,” which dates back to the 16th century.
