In 1983, a preliminary agreement was reached to sell the casino to a group including attorney William Morris and Circus Circus Enterprises executives William Bennett and William Pennington for $1.6 million[6] but Morris quit the deal a month later.[7] The next year, Circus Circus bought the casino for $4 million, and made plans to move it to make room for an expansion of its neighboring Edgewater Laughlin.[8]

Plans for a new Colorado Belle hotel and casino were unveiled in 1985[9] and it opened on July 1, 1987, at a cost of $80 million.[10]

Circus Circus Enterprises later became Mandalay Resort Group in 1999 and was bought by MGM Mirage in 2005.
