The Boardwalk Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, originally a Holiday Inn in 1966, underwent transformations and name changes, adding a carnival facade in 1995 and a 15-story tower in 1996, expanding to 653 rooms and a 33,000 sq ft casino. In 1998, Mirage Resorts, later MGM Mirage, acquired the Boardwalk, which closed on January 9, 2006, to make way for MGM's CityCenter project. The hotel's main tower was imploded on May 9, 2006, and the site is now occupied by CityCenter's Waldorf Astoria hotel.
