The Ellis Island Casino & Brewery is located near the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. The casino offers 350 gaming devices, as well as a restaurant and a brewery.
Ellis Island caters to locals, especially casino workers, and is known for its karaoke bar and low-price steak specials.[2]
History[edit]
The Village Pub was opened in 1967 by Frank Ellis, who eventually passed it on to his son, Gary.[2]
The name was changed to Ellis Island in 1985.[3] On September 19, 1997, Ellis Island opened a large portion of a $12 million renovation and expansion, which doubled its slot machine count to 410 and introduced table games by adding six blackjack tables.[3]
Ellis agreed in 2004 to manage and take joint ownership of the nearby Tuscany Suites and Casino, which had struggled to attract customers in its first year.[2] The agreement fell apart when Tuscany officials allegedly backed out.[4]
Later that year, Ellis signed on to the planned 46-story Aqua Blue condo-hotel project to replace an adjacent Super 8 motel. Ellis Island would manage the Aqua Blue casino, and would itself be renovated to match the new tower.[5] However, the project was cancelled in June 2005, due in part to rising construction costs.[6]
