The company's history can be traced to 1977, when David Belding, Michael Ensign, and William Richardson purchased the

In 1994, Gold Strike announced a partnership with
Monte Carlo.[5]
Gold Strike Resorts was acquired in 1995 by Circus Circus Enterprises for $450 million in cash and stock.[6] The acquisition did not include the original Gold Strike near Boulder City, because the owners wanted to pass it on to their children.[7]
