Mobil Travel Guide
. It was the foundation for Wynn's rise to prominence in the casino industry. The second hotel tower opened in 1984 along with the showroom, and the third tower was opened in 1989. In 2000, the Golden Nugget (and all of
Mirage Resorts
' other properties) was sold to

Thomas Breitling
. When Poster Financial assumed control of the Golden Nugget, they began to upgrade the gambling operation by installing new cashless
slot machines
and by increasing the maximum bet available at
table games
to ,000. Their story became the basis for
The Casino
, a television series on
Fox
that premiered on June 14, 2004.
