Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox Casino

The Four Queens Hotel and Casino is located in downtown Las Vegas on the Fremont Street Experience. The 690-room hotel and Шаблон:Convert casino is owned and operated by TLC Casino Enterprises, which acquired the property from the Elsinore Corporation in 2003.[1]

History

Construction began on November 16, 1964. The $5.5 million project was planned to include an 18-story hotel.[2] Four Queens opened on June 2, 1966. The casino is named after the builder Ben Goffstein's four daughters, Faith, Hope, Benita, and Michele. It originally contained only 120 rooms and a Шаблон:Convert casino. An 18-story hotel building was eventually added.[3]

From 1972 to 2003 the hotel/casino was owned by Elsinore Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Hyatt Corporation until 1979, when it became an independent company. In 1995, Elsinore filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and the investment firm Morgens, Waterfall, Vintiadis & Company obtained 99 percent ownership of the company.[4]

In 1976 the casino expanded to Шаблон:Convert and changed decor to be warmer. A second 18-story hotel building was completed in 1981.[3]

Today the casino occupies the entire block bordered by Fremont Street, Casino Center, Third Street and Carson Avenue. The Four Queens was also a partner in renovating the downtown area and creating the Fremont Street Experience.

Terry Caudill purchased the Four Queens in 2003, and subsequently upgraded the casino's 1,040 slot machines.[5] In December 2003 the Four Queens was the first Las Vegas casino to offer Geoff Hall's blackjack variant Blackjack Switch, which is now widely available throughout Las Vegas.[6]

By March 2007, a $20 million, multiyear renovation was nearing completion. As part of the project, all 690 hotel rooms were renovated. A new restaurant, Chicago Brewing Company, was also added as part of the renovation. The project also included the Шаблон:Convert Canyon Club nightclub,[5] which opened in April 2007.Шаблон:Citation needed As of 2017, the casino is Шаблон:Convert.[7]
