Fitzgeralds Gaming was a gaming and hotel company based in Reno, Nevada, that operated four casinos under the Fitzgeralds brand. It filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December 2000, and subsequently sold all its properties.

History[edit]

Lincoln Management[edit]

Lincoln Management Inc. was founded in 1984 by Philip Griffith and several other former casino executives of the Summa Corporation, who had worked at Harolds Club in Reno and the Sands Casino in Las Vegas.[1] It was formed to assume the management of the nearby Fitzgeralds Hotel-Casino under a contract with the casino's owner, Meta Fitzgerald.[1] Fitzgerald had operated the property since the 1981 death of her husband, the casino's founder, Lincoln Fitzgerald.[2] The new company's management agreement took effect in April 1985.[3]

In December 1986, Lincoln Management exercised an option to buy Fitzgeralds from Meta Fitzgerald for $26 million.[4] On the same day, the company also assumed management of the Nevada Club, a nearby casino also owned by Fitzgerald; the property was closed briefly before reopening under the company's management in February 1987.[5][6][7]

Also in December 1986, the company expanded into Southern Nevada, taking over management of the Sundance casino in Downtown Las Vegas for its owner, Moe Dalitz.[8] The following year, Lincoln's principals partnered with members of Oppenheimer & Co. to purchase the property from Dalitz.[9] The Sundance was rebranded under the Fitzgeralds name in March 1988.[10]

In 1988, Lincoln Management bought Harolds Club from the Summa Corporation,[11][12] and also acquired the Nevada Club from Fitzgerald.[13]

In April 1993, the company was selected by the Oneida Indian Nation to assist in developing the Turning Stone Casino and to manage the casino.[14][15] Before opening, however, the tribe opted instead to self-manage the casino.[15]

In May 1993, the company received preliminary approval for a casino to be built near Tunica, Mississippi.[16] Fitzgeralds Tunica opened in June 1994, at a cost of $46 million.[17][18] A hotel was added to the casino in 1996 at a cost of $34 million.[18]

In 1993, the company made a bid for the last available gaming license in the Kansas City area, proposing a $145 million casino in Sugar Creek, Missouri.[19] The license was awarded to Station Casinos instead, to build what is now the Ameristar Casino Kansas City. Station was later investigated for improper contact with the president of the gaming commission, and Fitzgeralds sued and received a $38 million settlement in 2004.[20]

Fitzgeralds Gaming[edit]

In 1994, Lincoln Management was reorganized as Fitzgeralds Gaming Corp. in preparation for a potential initial public offering.[21][22] The IPO was canceled, however, in 1995, because of weak stock market demand for mid-size casino companies.[23]

In May 1995, the company opened Fitzgeralds Black Hawk in Black Hawk, Colorado. The company had assumed management of the casino and licensed the Fitzgeralds name to what had previously been the 101 Main Street Casino.[24][25] Fitzgeralds Gaming bought a 22 percent interest in the casino in February 1996 for $2.5 million, and then bought the remaining 78 percent in August 1997 for $27 million.[24][26]

Another casino under the company's management, the Cliff Castle Casino in Camp Verde, Arizona, owned by the Yavapai-Apache Nation, opened on the same day as Fitzgeralds Black Hawk.[27] Fitzgeralds operated the casino until 1998, when the tribe bought out the management agreement for $8 million.[28]

Meanwhile, Fitzgeralds disposed of two of its smaller properties. The company closed Harolds Club in March 1995 and sold it two months later for $8.9 million.[29][30] The Nevada Club was closed in December 1997, and six months later was sold to the neighboring Harrah's Reno for $3.8 million.[31][32]

In 1999, the company found itself in financial difficulty because of slower than expected growth and stiff competition.[33] It defaulted on payments to bondholders in July 1999, and began negotiating a debt restructuring.[34] A deal was ultimately reached for the company to sell three of its casinos (Las Vegas, Tunica, and Black Hawk) to Indiana-based Majestic Star Casino for $149 million, and for bondholders to forgive much of the company's remaining $205 million in public debt.[35] The plan was filed in December 2000 as a prepackaged bankruptcy case.[35] The sale of the three properties was completed in December 2001.[36]

The agreement with bondholders also called for Fitzgeralds Reno to be sold.[37] No buyer was readily found, because of concerns about competition from Northern California Indian casinos and disruption from a railroad construction project next to the property.[38] In 2003, the casino was taken off the market, and ownership of Fitzgeralds Gaming was transferred to its creditors, a group of institutional lenders.[39]

Fitzgeralds Reno was finally sold in November 2007 to L3 Development, developer of the neighboring Montage Reno condominiums, leaving Fitzgeralds Gaming with no remaining operations.[40][41]

  • Fitzgeralds Black Hawk — Black Hawk, Colorado (sold in 2001)

Course

COURSE

Commencing at an elevation of roughly 4500 feet, runners will experience high desert vegetation to include Joshua Trees, Pinion-Juniper, Mountain Rose, Sagebrush, and a relatively lush Toiyabe National Forest not commonly associated with Las Vegas. The road twists and turns thru the canyon; a true treasure of the Spring Mountains N.R.A. enjoying temperatures ~10 degrees cooler than the Las Vegas Valley, under the late summer nighttime sky.

Still a moderate heat race (daytime), expect daytime highs ~85- 90 degrees and overnight lows ~65. On course provisions will help keep you cool!

*Start/ Finish Line: Lovell Canyon Road and Highway 160 Junction, just ~30 minutes drive from the Strip.

5K: 6:45pm Start time
The 5K runs along the paved Lovell Canyon Road as it twists and turns covering rolling and gradually uphill terrain. Runners turn around at mile 1.55, retracing their steps back to the finish line.

10K: 6:45pm Start time
The 10K runs along the paved Lovell Canyon Road as it twists and turns covering rolling and gradually uphill terrain. Runners turn around at mile 3.1, retracing their steps back to the finish line.

1/2 Marathon: 6:30pm Start time
The 1/2 Marathon runs along the paved Lovell Canyon Road as it twists and turns covering rolling and gradually uphill terrain. Runners turn around at mile 6.55, retracing their steps back to the finish line.

Marathon: 5pm Start time

The Marathon runs along the paved Lovell Canyon Road for roughly 11 miles twisting and turning covering rolling and gradually uphill terrain. At mile 11 marathoners will turn around and run 2.1 miles out and back along the same paved road, before returning to this same aid station. You will turn around again and return the 11 paved miles back to the finish line. The course is very easy to follow and will be well marked. 7 hour cut off.

Travel

AIRPORT

Las Vegas' McCarran Airport (LAS) services the Greater Las Vegas area. It is serviced by numerous carriers and has on site car rental companies.

The Las Vegas McCarran Airport is located within 10 minutes of 'The Strip'.

** For those traveling from out of town- there is NO bus transportation from The Strip to Lovell Canyon. Please see 'Directions'. A few taxis may take you out there, but you'll be hard pressed to get one back into town after the race. I suggest renting a car, as rates are reasonable, and you'll be able to experience Las Vegas' surrounding areas with much more leisure. Why not check out Red Rock Canyon on your way to the race!

Hotels

HOTELS

With many different appetites for hotels, for this race I have chosen to not have a host hotel, but rather suggest a number of hotels that are most convenient to Lovell Canyon. You can book your rooms directly with the hotels. Note: there are no hotels close to Lovell Canyon, so the hotels listed here are mostly in the Greater Las Vegas Valley.

Station

Camping is available at the race venue. It is primitive and there are no facilities. For more information please search on the web under Spring Mountains N.R.A. and Lovell Canyon.

Camping is also available at Red Rock Canyon Campground.

HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS AND SUITES: 6220 S. Rainbow Blvd/ Las Vegas; (702) 871-4453. This is likely the closest hotel to the race start/ finish, about 18 miles away, and conveniently located just off the I-215 Freeway. It is NOT in the middle of the Strip action, but there are plenty of restaurants nearby.

HOTELS ON THE STRIP: I suggest choosing one on the south end of the strip to be closest to Lovell Canyon. A few suggestions are:

  • The Luxor: (877) 386-4658

HOTELS OFF STRIP IN THE SOUTH VALLEY:

  • The Silverton: (866) 946-4373
  • Wingate by Wyndham (Henderson location): (702) 568-0027
  • The Orleans: (800) 675-3267
  • Doubletree Club Las Vegas Airport: (702) 948-4000

OTHERS:

  • Coast Casinos (several properties throughout the valley)
  • Bonnie Springs: for a Wild West feel away from The Strip. This is actually one of the closest hotels: approx. 21 miles to Lovell Canyon
  • Stations Casinos (several properties throughout the valley. Try Red Rock Station Casino for true pampering approx. 32 miles to Lovell Canyon.)

Directions

DIRECTIONS

Lovell Canyon is located southwest of the Las Vegas Valley and is accessed via Lovell Canyon Road off Highway 160 to the north, roughly 13 miles west of the junction between Highways 159 and 160. A gorgeous part of the Spring Mountains N.R.A., Lovell Canyon can be considered the backside of Red Rock Canyon Conservation Area.

Heat Training Racing

Training and racing in the heat involves serious risks, including death, and as a result necessary precautions must be taken to ensure your safety, relative comfort, and the achievement of your goals. Heat exhaustion and heat stroke pose a serious threat and you should learn to recognize these signs. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, stomach issues, kidney failure, and footcare problems can all quickly put an end to your event.

You are HIGHLY encouraged to read more about these topics. Numerous articles posted on the web are available.

**PLEASE join us on Facebook by 'liking' Calico Racing on Facebook.com. We will have a discussion group on there covering all topics you will need to consider for race day success.**
