History
In 1994, Gold Strike announced a partnership with Mirage Resorts to build a $250-million casino targeted at budget-conscious visitors, on part of the site of the demolished Dunes golf course on the Las Vegas Strip.[1] It ultimately opened in 1996, following the merger, as the Monte Carlo.[2]
It was acquired in 1995 by Circus Circus Enterprises for $450 million in cash and stock.[3] The acquisition did not include the original Gold Strike near Boulder City, because the owners wanted to pass it on to their children.[4]
