About
The Westward Ho Hotel & Casino was a budget-friendly motel-style property on the Las Vegas Strip that operated from 1963 to 2005. Unlike the towering mega-resorts that surrounded it, the Westward Ho maintained its low-rise motel character throughout its 42-year history. The property was known for its enormous swimming pool, cheap drinks, affordable rooms, and giant yard-long hot dogs. It was a favorite of budget travelers and a beloved relic of old Vegas. The property was demolished in 2006 to make way for future development.
