Flex Work Sports Slide Out Academy Brings Big‑Time Football Energy To Henderson Nevada March 14, 2026

 

HENDERSON, Nev. — Youth football in Southern Nevada gets a major boost this spring as Flex Work Sports Slide Out Academy hosts its 2026 youth football camp on Saturday, March 14, bringing NFL talent, elite coaching, and members of our Las Vegas Kings together for an afternoon built to inspire the next generation of athletes.

The camp runs from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Liberty High School in Henderson, Nevada, and is open to boys and girls ages 6–16, offering young players a rare chance to learn from pros who’ve lived the grind, played under the lights, and know exactly what it takes to elevate their game.

Flex Work Sports has built a reputation for connecting young athletes with real‑deal football minds, and this year’s lineup continues that tradition. NFL players will be on hand to coach position groups, run drills, and share the kind of insight you can’t get from YouTube clips or highlight reels.

Adding to the star power, members of the Las Vegas Kings arena football team will join the coaching roster, bringing their trademark intensity and Vegas swagger to the turf.

Dust In The Wind The Eastside Cannery Implosion: What Landmark Casinos Still Stand In Las Vegas And Will They Survive?

 When the Eastside Cannery Casino collapsed into dust early Thursday morning, March 5th, it wasn’t just another demolition—it was another reminder of how quickly Las Vegas rewrites its own skyline.

The city’s relationship with its past has always been complicated: preservation is sentimental, but land is money. Yet despite decades of implosions, a surprising number of landmark casinos still stand, still operate, and still carry the DNA of old Vegas. The question now is: will they be left alone—and why?

Below is a look at the most iconic casinos still standing, what makes them historically significant, and the forces that may determine their future.

The Landmark Casinos Still Standing

Golden Gate Hotel & Casino (1906)

The oldest operating casino in Las Vegas, Golden Gate, is a living museum of Fremont Street. Its small footprint and boutique charm make it less vulnerable to redevelopment pressure. It’s also tightly integrated into Derek Stevens’ downtown ecosystem, giving it strategic value.

El Cortez (1941)

A mob-era classic once owned by Bugsy Siegel, El Cortez is officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places. That designation alone makes demolition unlikely, but its continued profitability and strong local following make it even safer.

Binion’s Gambling Hall (1951)

Home of the original World Series of Poker, Binion’s remains a cornerstone of downtown’s identity. Its brand value is tied to history, not modern mega-resort amenities, which ironically protects it—no one wants to replace what still draws tourists for its authenticity.

The Flamingo (1946)

The oldest resort still operating on the Strip, the Flamingo is a hybrid of old and new. While much of its original structure is long gone, the brand and location remain iconic. Its prime Strip real estate makes it a candidate for future redevelopment—but its name is too valuable to disappear entirely.

** The Tropicana (1957)

Note: The Tropicana was demolished in 2024–2025 to make way for the new A’s ballpark. Its removal underscores the reality: no property is safe if the land becomes more valuable than the building.

The Sahara (1952, reopened 2019)

Though heavily renovated and rebranded, the Sahara’s bones remain. Its survival depends on continued reinvention rather than nostalgia.

Why These Casinos Are Likely to Survive (For Now)

Historical Value = Brand Value

Casinos like Golden Gate, El Cortez, and Binion’s aren’t just buildings—they’re brands built on authenticity. In a city obsessed with reinvention, “real old Vegas” is now a marketable commodity.

 Downtown’s Revival Protects Its Icons

Fremont Street’s resurgence has made its vintage casinos profitable again. As long as foot traffic stays strong, there’s no financial incentive to implode them.

Smaller Footprints Make Redevelopment Less Attractive

Many of the oldest casinos sit on small parcels. Developers prefer large, contiguous land holdings for mega-resorts—something downtown simply doesn’t offer.

Historic Designations Slow Down Demolition

El Cortez’s national historic status doesn’t make it untouchable, but it does add layers of bureaucracy and public scrutiny.

Why Some Casinos Won’t Be Left Alone

The Eastside Cannery’s implosion is part of a larger pattern: Las Vegas removes properties when the land becomes more valuable than the building.

Factors that put casinos at risk:

• Large parcels ripe for redevelopment

• Aging infrastructure too costly to modernize

• Shifting tourism patterns (e.g., the Strip vs. locals’ casinos)

• Corporate consolidation leading to strategic land banking

The Cannery sat on a massive piece of Boulder Highway real estate—prime for future redevelopment. Its demolition wasn’t about history; it was about opportunity.

So Will the Remaining Landmarks Be Left Alone?

In the short term: Yes. Downtown’s vintage casinos are profitable, culturally valuable, and tightly woven into the Fremont Street experience.

In the long term, nothing in Las Vegas is guaranteed. If a future developer sees more value in the land than the legacy, history shows what happens next.

But for now, the surviving landmarks endure because they offer something the mega-resorts can’t replicate: authenticity, nostalgia, and a direct line to the city’s roots.

As the dust settles from the Eastside Cannery implosion, Las Vegas is reminded once again that while the city constantly reinvents itself, some icons remain standing—not by accident, but because they still matter.
