The Cromwell opens on April 21 of 2014

What used to be Bill's Gamblin' Hall opened on April 21st of 2014 as The Cromwell.  Bill's closed on February 4th of 2013 so they could begin a $185 million renovation of the hotel-casino.  This was a soft opening as all the amenities of the property were not finished.

The location was going to return as Gansevoort Las Vegas but during a routine background check of business partners, they took issue with an investor in New York-based Gansevoort.  The investor, a German businessman, is reputed to have ties to organized crime in Russia.  This was the former location of the Barbary Coast
