The Grand Victoria opened a 200-room hotel and an entertainment pavilion in July 1997, with a grand opening ceremony hosted by Robin Leach and Rich Little.[3]

Hyatt decided in 2006 to sell the Grand Victoria.[4] In 2011, Full House Resorts purchased the property for $43 million, and renamed it as the Rising Star Casino Resort.[5]

A second hotel with 104 rooms, the $8-million North Star Tower, was opened at the site in December 2013.[6]
