History

In 1996, the casino opened as the Hilton Flamingo. The casino is located near, but not on, the Missouri River. Instead, a 5-acre lake was constructed and the facility was built to float on that at a cost of $110 million.[1] In June 2000, Isle of Capri Casinos bought the Hilton Flamingo and changed the name shortly thereafter to Isle of Capri Kansas City.[2] Later, in 2017, Eldorado Resorts bought Isle of Capri Casinos, including the Kansas City location.[3]

In July 2020, Twin River Worldwide Holdings bought the property along with Lady Luck Casino Vicksburg from Eldorado for a total of $230 million, and renamed the property as Casino KC.[4]
