Aircraft
When coming in to land I selected my gear down. With no green light [I] looked outside to see my nose gear was not extended. I recycled the gear a few more times with no success. I reverted to the Emergency Gear Extension checklist; and after multiple attempts that was unsuccessful. I then did a soft landing to make sure that my main gears were locked in the down position then performed a hard bounce landing to see if the gear would shake free. The attempt was unsuccessful. I had decided that all my options had been exhausted so I proceeded on a landing without a nose gear but both main gears. I performed 2 practice landings to get an idea of where I would need to land to make it across the intersecting runway. On the 3rd attempt I went through my emergency landing checklist and secured my cockpit; then came in and landed. After the aircraft came to a stop I got out of the aircraft to the left and waited on the grass for emergency crews to arrive.
Cessna 210T pilot reported landing with the nose gear retracted after all efforts to extend it failed.
