The Emerald Island is a Family Casino.

Seven words. A simple sentence. But a sentence that means so many things at the Emerald Island Casino!

The Emerald Island is a family owned casino. Twin brothers Mike and Tm Brooks opened the casino in 2003 and have Nevada’s Only All Penny Casino into the Jewel of Henderson.

Guests truly feel that our team members are like family to them. Superior guest service and a genuine and heartfelt desire to make every visit to the Emerald Island Casino a special one is the core of our customer service.

But, this Valentine’s season it means a great love story and a tale about how our team members really are there for each other! And how a new Emerald Island family got its beginning!

Wolves, jackals, and coyotes are also believed to be descendants of Tomarctus. (more…)
