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)
“The disadvantage of men not knowing the past is that they do not know the present. History is a hill or high point of vantage, from which alone men see the town in which they live or the age in which they are living.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
