History[edit]

The Gold Strike was opened in December 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 [2]

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

In February , MGM Mirage announced plans to close the Nevada Landing and build a master-planned community and a new casino hotel on the acres (&#;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 and was demolished, leaving the Gold Strike as the only casino in Jean.[7] The planned redevelopment was canceled in , however, because of the economic downturn.[8]

In October , 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 [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, , 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]

Terrible's and other state casinos closed temporarily in March , due to the COVID pandemic in Nevada. In November , it announced that the Terrible's closure was indefinite.[16] In February , the property was sold for $45 million to real estate company Tolles Development, which planned to demolish it to make way for an industrial park.[17] Demolition began in December , with the process taking up to three months to complete.[18][19]

In popular culture[edit]

In April , filmmakers filed plans to shoot an action film at the closed property. The film, Absolute Dominion, would be directed by Lexi Alexander and produced by Jason Blum. It would be set in , with much of the human population killed by religious terrorists. The United Nations creates a martial arts tournament with the winner gaining "Absolute Dominion for one faith".[20][21]
