Shown as two words in the Las Vegas club on Fremont. Spelled as one word at the Henderson and Reno clubs. So either could be correct depending on where you are playing.
However, if you're reading poetry, it may mean an ideal state never to be found, as in:
By Edgar Allan Poe
Gaily bedight,
But he grew old—
And, as his strength
‘Over the Mountains
Eldorado
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.
This knight so bold—
And o’er his heart a shadow—
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow—
‘Shadow,’ said he,
‘Where can it be—
This land of Eldorado?’
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,’
The shade replied,—
‘If you seek for Eldorado!’
