History[edit]

The Gold Strike was opened in December 1987 by Dave Belding and two other partners who owned the original Gold Strike Hotel near Boulder City.^[2] After it did better business than expected, a sister property, the Nevada Landing Hotel and Casino, was developed on the other side of the freeway and opened in 1989.^[2]

The two properties became part of the Gold Strike Resorts family of companies, which was acquired in 1995 by Circus Circus Enterprises (later named Mandalay Resort Group).^[3][4] They were then acquired in 2005 by MGM Mirage (later named MGM Resorts International) as part of its buyout of Mandalay.^[5]

In February 2007, MGM Mirage announced plans to close the Nevada Landing and build a master-planned community and a new casino hotel on the 166 acres (0.67 km²) it owned in the area, in a joint venture with American Nevada Corp. and the Cloobeck Cos. The Gold Strike would remain open.^[6] The Nevada Landing closed in March 2007 and was demolished, leaving the Gold Strike as the only casino in Jean.^[7] The planned redevelopment was canceled in 2008, however, because of the economic downturn.^[8]

In October 2014, MGM agreed to sell the Gold Strike for $12 million^[9] to JETT Gaming, owned by the Herbst family.^[10] The sale was completed in May 2015.^[11]

JETT Gaming performed upgrades and renovations to the property, including the installation of a new video marquee sign, the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame, and a display of cars from popular movies.^[12][13][14] On November 1, 2018, the name of the casino was changed from Gold Strike to Terrible's, the same name used by the Herbst family's convenience stores and gas stations.^[15]
