When construction workers were working on the Boulder Dam, now known as the Hoover Dam, the casino became a popular place for hardworking individuals to spend their off time. Over the course of 88 years, the casino gaming property has had numerous owners. Those owners have included Gold Strike Resorts. They also owned the Gold Strike Casino.
