Pair A Dice Trailer Park, Las Vegas, Ladies Cotton Tee

Description

Nestled at 2067 North Las Vegas Boulevard in North Las Vegas, Pair-A-Dice Trailer Park was a longstanding fixture in the area’s residential fabric. It started life as the Pair-A-Dice Club casino which launched in 1956. At some point around 1963, a trailer park was added. The casino ceased operations decades ago, but the Pair-A-Dice continued on as a trailer park. It spanned many decades as a community of mobile homes and trailers, serving as a home base for hundreds of residents in a less glamorous but essential side of Las Vegas life. Though sometimes called a “trailer park,” over time the property became more formally known as a mobile home community, with individual units, communal infrastructure, and a semi-permanent presence in the fast-changing Vegas region. For many decades, Pair-A-Dice provided affordable, modest housing—especially appealing to senior citizens and lower-income households who needed stable shelter close to the city. In its later years, it was designated as a senior mobile home park, further reflecting its role in offering retirement housing options in an expensive market. By the 2020s, the park’s age and the pressures of urban growth caught up. In 2023, the property’s new ownership announced the closure and eviction of residents, many of whom lived on fixed incomes. Notices were issued asking residents to vacate by June 2. Some residents reported attempts to get assistance for relocation, while others expressed frustration at the speed and scale of the displacement. The closure was contentious. Some trailers remain abandoned, units remain empty, and the land itself is poised for redevelopment under new ownership. The event marks the end of a chapter for a property that held on while the skyline around it transformed dramatically. Today the property remains empty. The Pair-A-Dice is remembered not for neon glitz or headline casinos, but as one of the many humble, durable communities that underpinned the lives of everyday Las Vegans—people who worked, aged, and put down roots in a city often defined by spectacle. Its disappearance is part of a broader narrative of displacement and transformation in modern Las Vegas, where development and expansion often erase the quieter corners of its history.
