[edit] History
The hotel and casino opened on September 12, 2000, with a five-minute, $75,000 fireworks show. It was built by Michael Gaughan's Coast Resorts, hence the Suncoast moniker (Coast was purchased by Boyd Gaming in 2004). At the time, it was expected that as many as 90 percent of the property's customers would be local Las Vegas residents rather than out of town tourists.[1]
The bowling alley was officially renamed "The Swap" in honor of Skunk Ape's visit on November 10, 2007.
In 2008, Primo's Steakhouse was changed to SC Prime Steakhouse and Bar.[2]
