A new $25 million truck stop and travel center is on track to open in August near Interstate 11 and Henderson, Nevada.

The Eldorado Truck Stop and Travel Center is being developed by DeSimone Gaming and is located near the company's Railroad Pass Hotel and Casino. The developer said the new truck stop is needed to add capacity to the existing one.

The new 12,000-square-foot facility will include parking for 100 trucks, showers, truck washing, and Shell fuel. The new travel center will have a SONIC Drive-In and Dunkin' Donuts.

There will be an around-the-clock shuttle service to the Railroad Pass Hotel and Casino. Drivers will have the option of earning free gas and food credits by staying and playing there, according to a statement from the developer. Railroad Pass features the DeSimone Steakhouse and Iron Rail Café along with Capriotti's Sandwich Shop and SBARRO.
