Cashell, Jr., son of Reno mayor Bob Cashell. The sole proprietor of RAC II LLC is Robert A.

On November 1, 2007, ownership of the Fitzgeralds officially transferred to a joint partnership between 元 Development and RAC II LLC, marking the first time in decades that the property was under private ownership. In April 2007, 元 development, a development firm based out of Chicago, IL, announced its intention to purchase the property and convert it into a boutique hotel. In 2005 Monarch Resort Casinos attempted to acquire Fitzgerald's from bankruptcy. Prior to this, sister properties were located in Las Vegas, Tunica, Mississippi, and Black Hawk, Colorado. BaseCamp has closed its doors temporarily while it undergoes even more renovation and will hopefully re-open in the near future.įrom Wikipedia: The Fitzgerald's Reno is the last of 4 properties owned by Fitzgeralds Gaming Corp to be sold after the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2000. This building also houses the world's tallest climbing wall at 164 feet, known as BaseCamp.

*UPDATE* This casino closed its doors in late 2008 and is now home to the Whitney Peak Hotel.
