History[edit]
The casino opened on April 28, 1995 as Casino Aztar.[2] It was built by Aztar Corp. at a cost of $55 million.[3]
Aztar was acquired by Columbia Sussex in January 2007. Columbia Sussex, unable to obtain a casino license in the state, immediately put the property up for sale and threatened to close it down in order to preserve the takeover deal with Aztar.[4]
