Recently Boyd's Martha Morales, Vice President and General Manager of Valley Forge Casino Resort, was recognized as the official honoree of the 2026 Hospitality Charitable Foundation (HCF) M.E.N.U.S. event in Las Vegas. The Foundation provides scholarships, mentorship and pathways into the hospitality industry for talented hospitality students.

Martha's journey is a powerful example of the life-changing impact of opportunity and education. As a first-generation college student, she received an HCF scholarship that helped make her dream of attending UNLV a reality.

What began as an investment in a student's potential became an extraordinary leadership journey, as Martha became the first scholarship alumnus to serve on the HCF Board of Directors — and was later named Vice President and General Manager of Valley Forge, one of Boyd's largest resorts in the country.

Please join the entire Boyd team in congratulating Martha on her well-deserved recognition!

We’ve transformed this Las Vegas Locals favorite with a modernized and brighter casino floor, a selection of new dining options, an all-new bingo room and high-limit room, updated and expanded meeting and convention space, and a state-of-the-art sportsbook.

Our modernization of the Suncoast is part of a re-investment campaign aimed at updating and enhancing our properties nationwide. Through these investments in our amenities and offerings, we are elevating the competitiveness and appeal of Boyd properties across the country – and demonstrating our commitment to investing in our communities.

Boyd Gaming recently celebrated the grand opening of Render Modern Kitchen at Aliante Casino Hotel Spa in North Las Vegas.

Render offers Aliante guests a contemporary gastropub experience, with great food and great drinks in an approachable, high-energy neighborhood retreat.

Render is the latest gastropub experience at Boyd’s southern Nevada properties, joining 90 Ninety at Suncoast, Bailiwick at the Orleans, STG at Sam’s Town, Charter 75 at Gold Coast, and Tin Lizard at Cadence Crossing.

The debut of Render is just the beginning of a property-wide evolution at Aliante.

With future plans to enhance the property’s casino floor, movie theater, and food and beverage offerings, we look forward to further elevating the Aliante guest experience, while demonstrating our commitment to re-investment across the Las Vegas Valley.

Boyd's relationship with Hawai'i dates back more than 50 years, to the 1975 opening of the California Hotel & Casino. And when our Hawaiian friends needed our help following repeated hurricanes this summer, Boyd was there.

Through our contributions to the Hawaii Food Bank, Hawaii Community Foundation and other Hawai'i non-profits, Boyd has provided nearly $145,000 in direct contributions to storm relief efforts in 2025 alone. In all, Boyd has donated more than $500,000 to Hawai'i non-profit organizations over the last three years alone. From the Ninth Island to the Hawai'ian Islands, Boyd stands with our 'Ohana!

For more information on Boyd's commitment to giving back to Hawai'i, visit https://www.boydgaming.com/company/corporate-responsibility/communities/helping-our-hawaii-friends.
