The Nevada Gaming Commission and Control Board on Thursday approved a gaming license for Nevada Restaurant Services, Inc., which is remodeling the Hacienda Hotel and Casino into a national park-style lodge called the Hoover Dam Lodge overlooking Lake Mead outside Boulder City.

Craig Estey, Nevada Restaurant Services chief executive and owner and founder of Dotty’s taverns, said he expects to close on the 32-acre site divided by Highway 93 on Monday.

Then, Estey will launch into the rehab’s phase one, which will cost $7 million and include gutting the interior and wrapping the exterior with windows.

Estey said he is buying the property from Las Vegas-based Lakeview Partnership. He declined to name the purchase price.

Estey told gaming commissioners that the remodeling’s first phase will take six to eight months. He explained to the commission that he wants to convert a “Spanish casino into a national park lodge.”

He plans on adding more rooms than the current 289 in the Hacienda, which features a 17-story building. Estey said he expects the Hoover Dam Lodge signage to go up during the summer.

A travel center and gift shop will be built on the side of Highway 93 opposite the lake, with a pedestrian bridge built to connect both sides.

There will even be space for a campground and RVs, Estey told the commissioners. He said he wants to market the Hoover Dam Lodge to tourists and locals, and it will also include a sports bar concept.

The Hacienda is the closest gambling site to Boulder City east of the city. Boulder City does not allow gambling within its city limits.

Hacienda, built on the site of the Gold Strike Casino, which burned down in 1998. will remain open through the remodeling, Estey said. Of the 230 employees, 150 will continue at Hoover Dam Lodge. The other 80 will be transferred to other Dotty’s properties or will be on a list to be rehired after the initial phase is completed.

New slot machines and a casino management/player rewards system used by the Dotty’s taverns will be installed. Estey created the Dotty’s business model in Oregon and brought the concept to Nevada in 1995. In addition to the tavern business, Dotty’s is the slot machine route operator for gaming areas inside Nevada-based Food 4 Less and Kmart stores.

Estey said there are 120 Dotty’s sites around Nevada.

Gaming Commissioner Tony Alamo fondly recalled the site, explaining that he rode his motorcycle as a 14-year-old at the location.

“I’m looking forward to new memories,” Alamo said.

And Gaming Commissioner Joe Brown asked Estey if he has joined the Nevada Resort Association.

Estey cracked, “I haven’t been invited yet.”

Laughter filled the room.

Dotty’s had drawn heat a few years ago from rival tavern operators and the Nevada Resort Association. Opponents accused Dotty’s operations of being nothing more than a glorified slot machine business, offering snack food and little alcohol with gaming the main focus.

Up until recently, US slot players have only been able to dream about winning a jackpot at an online casino. With the laws changing in Nevada, New Jersey, and Delaware, American gamblers will soon no longer have to dream, and their jackpots can become a reality. Mobile Casino Gambling.

This past week, a gambler in Switzerland showed just how exciting winning a jackpot can be, not once, but twice. A player identified as Stephen W. from Switzerland, won a $24,560 jackpot on April 17th, while playing the Burning Desire slot at All Slots Casino.

According to the casino, the following day, Stephen logged on to the casino from his home computer, and hit another jackpot on the same game, this time for $30,000.

"The odds of hitting one jackpot are astronomical," said Gaming Analyst Bernie Waldern. "The odds of hitting two jackpots in two days, on the same game, that's darn near impossible. That is one lucky gambler." Mobile Casino Gambling.

Companies such as Caesars Entertainment, and Wynn Resorts are hoping that they can bring the same kind of joy to US gamblers sometime this Fall. Nevada appears prepared to become the first state in the country to offer online casinos, and players in the state are filled with anticipation.

"It's going to be so much fun to be able to play poker online and not have to go to the casinos," said Ivy Burns. "I've played competitively for years, and there are times I don't feel like getting dressed and going to the casino. Playing online, without the fear of getting in trouble, will be refreshing."

Foreign gaming companies have been busy over the past year preparing for an entrance into the US market.

More than 20 charity-minded ladies flocked to the Queen’s Road casino to enjoy a glamorous evening of fun, shopping, raffles and a taste of gambling on the roulette and black jack tables.
Kind-hearted women from across Reading took to the gaming tables, but it was all for a good cause.

Fundraisers organised a ladies’ night at the Grosvenor Casino on November 8 to raise money for hospice charity Sue Ryder.

More than 20 charity-minded ladies flocked to the Queen’s Road casino to enjoy a glamorous evening of fun, shopping, raffles and a taste of gambling on the roulette and black jack tables. Almost £400 was raised to help Sue Ryder to continue to provide specialist palliative care for patients and their families through Duchess of Kent House Hospice in Tilehurst and Nettlebed Hospice.

One of the stallholders, Louise Patuzzo, met Lady Sue Ryder more than 40 years ago, when the inspirational founder of the nationwide charity visited a school in Windsor.

Mrs Patuzzo, 56, who was manning a glittering jewellery stand with friend Louise Todd, said: “I met Lady Ryder when she visited our school with a group of concentration camp survivors who shared their stories.
“The pupils cooked for them and sung songs, and listened to their stories, which would often reduce us to tears.”

Thanking the casino staff, Sue Ryder’s Marion Haynes said: “It was a fun night and we would like to thank Grosvenor Casino Reading and their staff for arranging such a wonderful night and for providing a superb buffet for all to share.

“Our thanks also go to all the stall holders for coming along and making the night such a success.”

Simon Adams, Grosvenor Casino’s sales manager, said: “It was a great pleasure to work alongside Marion and her Sue Ryder colleagues and volunteers.

“All the team here pulled together to put on a great event for a worthwhile cause and all the guests had a fantastic evening.

“We ended up raising nearly £400, and would love to work with Sue Ryder again in the future.”

A new GTA Online update includes audio clips that seem to give away a bunch of new features, including horse racing and indoor bike racing.

The clips were apparently included in a recent file called mpdlc.awc, which was part of the recent 1.06 update for GTA Online. Hackers taking apart the file discovered a range of short dialogue snippets from known mission givers, that allude to a variety of new features.

As with any leak like this could be fake, but the voice-acting does seem professional and a lot harder to fake than a quick Photoshop.

Or at least some of it does, the dialogue on some of the other clips from YouTube user ‘Franken Stein’ is very odd, but since he offers no explanation of how he got them it’s hard to say what’s going on.

Either way the features implied by the clips include an interactive casino (there’s already a non-interactive one in the game); new business and property investments, pink slip races (i.e. races where you can bet your car as the prize); horse racing (again there’s already a racetrack in the game); indoor off-road racing, including bikes; an enhanced camera and the ability to spy on people.

Some of these clips are really long though, so if you notice something we’ve missed in them do let us know via email and we’ll add it to this story.

Rockstar is planning to update GTA Online with new features on a regular basis, but it’s also recently hinted that new story-based content is imminent. So it’s possible these new features relate to Grand Theft Auto V’s story mode, although more likely both.
