| Website | Ellis Island Casino & Brewery |
The Ellis Island Casino & Brewery is located near the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. The casino offers 350 gaming devices, as well as a restaurant and a micro-brewery.
Ellis Island caters to locals, especially casino workers, and is known for its karaoke bar and low-price steak specials.
History
The Village Pub was opened in 1967 by Frank Ellis, who eventually passed it on to his son, Gary.
The name was changed to Ellis Island around 1986.
Ellis agreed in 2004 to manage and take joint ownership of the nearby Tuscany Suites and Casino, which had struggled to attract customers in its first year. The agreement fell apart when Tuscany officials allegedly backed out.
Later that year, plans were filed for a 36-story, 800-room condo-hotel, to be built on the site of Ellis Island and the adjacent Super 8 motel.
