The casino was opened in 1996 by New York–based Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, which operated an adjoining Trump hotel.
In December 2005, the Trump Organization sold the casino and hotel to Majestic Star Holdings, which operated the Majestic Star Casino next door.[1][2]
Majestic Star closed both casinos in April 2021. One license was transferred to the Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana, located inland in Gary.[1][3]
As of May 2024, both Majestic Star vessels had been towed to Bay Shipbuilding Company in Sturgeon Bay.
