Arizona Charlie's Decatur is a hotel and locals casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. It includes 258 rooms and 55,227 sq ft (5,130.8 m2) of gaming space. The property began in 1963, as a bowling alley developed by the Becker family. Bruce Becker eventually took over management and proposed adding a hotel-casino. The property opened in April 1988, and is named after a distant relative of the family, Arizona Charlie.
Residents were originally opposed to having a hotel-casino in the area, although the property has since become popular among locals. It opened with a three-story, 100-room hotel. The bowling alley was removed during an expansion in 1994, which included a seven-story hotel addition.
The property's operating company filed bankruptcy in 1997, and Arizona Charlie's was purchased the following year by businessman Carl Icahn, who owned it for the next decade. Golden Entertainment eventually acquired it in 2017.
A sister property, Arizona Charlie's Boulder, is located along Boulder Highway in the east Las Vegas Valley.
