Penzel Construction completed a $2.2 million renovation to the pavilion building at Isle of Capri's Lady Luck Casino in Caruthersville, Missouri in 2008. The renovation aimed to enhance the casino's overall experience for its customers. The project involved upgrading the facility's interior design, including the installation of new flooring, walls, and ceilings.

The History of Lady Luck Casino

Lady Luck Casino opened on April 28, 1995 as Casino Aztar, a $55 million riverboat casino built by Aztar Corp. In 2007, Columbia Sussex acquired Aztar, but was unable to obtain a casino license in the state and put the property up for sale. Isle of Capri Casinos purchased the casino from Columbia Sussex in 2007 and re-branded it Lady Luck Casino Caruthersville on June 10, 2008.

In 2019, Eldorado Resorts sold Lady Luck Casino to Century Casinos and Vici Properties. Century bought the casino's operating business for $12 million, while Vici purchased the land and buildings for $67 million and leased them to Century. The casino was rebranded as Century Casino Caruthersville.

The Future of Lady Luck Casino

In 2021, Century Casinos purchased a neighboring two-story hotel building and renovated it to open in 2022 as The Farmstead, with 36 rooms. The hotel is an addition to the Century Casino Caruthersville property, providing guests with more amenities and options for their stay.

The Importance of Lady Luck Casino

Lady Luck Casino has been an important part of the Caruthersville community since its opening in 1995. The casino provides jobs and economic benefits to the area, contributing significantly to the local economy. The renovation in 2008 and the expansion with the hotel addition in 2022 demonstrate the continued investment in the property and commitment to providing a quality experience for customers.

Lady Luck Casino has undergone significant changes over the years, from its opening as Casino Aztar in 1995 to its current status as Century Casino Caruthersville. The casino's history is marked by changes in ownership and renovation, but it remains an important part of the Caruthersville community, providing jobs and economic benefits. The addition of a hotel provides guests with more options for their stay and demonstrates the continued investment in the property.
