History
Cannery Casino Resorts took over management of the Regent Casino in 2002 under an agreement with JW Marriott owner Hotspur Resorts, and completely renovated it to re-brand it as Rampart Casino. The renovation included redesigning the gaming floor, acquiring new slot equipment and constructing three new restaurants.
Cannery's management agreement expires in March 2012. Hotspur opted not to renew the agreement, and will instead combine the casino and hotel under its own management, with the help of consulting services from Affinity Gaming. Michael Gaughan, Jr., the son of casino magnate Michael Gaughan, will be the property's general manager.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“No one is ahead of his time, it is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept.... For a very long time everybody refuses and then almost without a pause almost everybody accepts. In the history of the refused in the arts and literature the rapidity of the change is always startling.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“There are two great unknown forces to-day, electricity and woman, but men can reckon much better on electricity than they can on woman.”
—Josephine K. Henry, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 15, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
