From Wiki:

Maxim Hotel (1977-2001)

The property was originally opened on July 1, 1977 as the Maxim Hotel and Casino.[3] It was built at a cost of $25 million by a group of ten Nevada businessmen, including the owners of Reno's Club Cal Neva.[4] Though smaller than typical Vegas resorts even before today's megaresort era, the Maxim had a popular following because of its attention to personal service. It was purchased in 1981 by wealthy California farmer John Anderson for $60 million.[5][6][7] It thrived during the 1980s, but went into decline as flashier, larger resorts opened on the nearby Strip.

The Maxim was the site of the shooting death of rapper Tupac Shakur in 1996. Shakur was a passenger in a BMW that was driving in front of the casino, when a man in a Cadillac pulled up and opened fire, gravely wounding the rap star. He died a week later from his injuries.[8]

In 1998, West Coast Mortgage foreclosed on the Maxim, buying it from Anderson at a price of $15 million.[9] Gaming executive Ed Nigro agreed to operate the property under a five-year lease.[9] West Coast then sold the Maxim to timeshare developer Premier Interval Resorts the following year for $36.5 million.[10][11][12] In November 1999, Nigro closed the Maxim because of a financial dispute with Premier.[13][14] With Premier in default on its mortgage payments, the Maxim was placed into receivership at the request of the mortgageholder, Meralex; two weeks after its closure, the hotel reopened without a casino.[15][16][17] The property again went to foreclosure sale in June 2000, where it was purchased by a Texas-based company, Revanche, for $10 million.[18] A complex legal battle ensued between members of Premier and Meralex; meanwhile, Revanche unsuccessfully sought a buyer for the Maxim.[19] With the hotel continuing to lose money, Revanche closed it on August 13, 2001.[20]
