History[edit]

Budget Host Inn[edit]

This is all before the casino and the main resort which would boast 700 rooms, an 85,000-square-foot casino gaming floor, 75,000-square-feet of convention space, and a 400-unit timeshare.

In June 1995, after spending eight years in bankruptcy, the Budget Host Inn was acquired at auction for $1.1 million by Shawn Scott, owner of the Post Office Casino in Henderson.^[2]

Cheyenne Hotel (1995-99)[edit]

Scott renamed it as the Cheyenne Hotel, and made plans to revitalize the run-down property, including reopening the restaurant and lounge and adding a hotel tower and a casino, taking advantage of the site's grandfathered gaming status.^[2] He requested a license for 75 slot machines and 2 table games, but the Nevada Gaming Commission in December 1996 issued only an 11-month limited license for 25 machines, finding his record management to be sloppy.^[3] By 1997, the Cheyenne was operating as a Days Inn.^[4]

CORRCCA is a new on road electric club situated at Casino in the Richmond Valley northern NSW. Our club will foster and promote remote control car racing in our area and all of the fundamentals which go along with the sport.

In 1998, MTR Gaming, the West Virginia-based parent company of the Mountaineer Racetrack, acquired the Cheyenne for $5.5 million in cash.^[5]

Ramada Hotel and Speedway Casino (1999-2008)[edit]

MTR said it would complete an expansion already in progress, adding 10,000 square feet (930 m²) of gaming space with 350 slot machines and 5 table games, and would rename the property as the Speedway Hotel & Casino and add a motor racing theme, in reference to the nearby Las Vegas Motor Speedway.^[6] The hotel became a Ramada Inn. The casino opened in March 1999, leased to Dynasty Games, with 143 slot machines.^[7] MTR received its gaming license the following September, and said it would take over operation of the casino on October 1.^[8] The official grand opening was held in March 2000, with the casino having expanded to over 300 slot machines, with table games and a Leroy's sportsbook, racing-themed dining areas, and a racecar simulator.^[9]

By November 2000, the property had failed to turn a profit, and was taking measures to attract value-conscious guests, including Hispanics, Nellis Air Force Base personnel, and North Las Vegas residents.^[10] By 2004, MTR was reporting annual net revenue of $9.8 million at the Speedway.^[11]

In February 2007, MTR agreed to sell the complex to Mandekic Cos. for $18.2 million.^[11] Mandekic assigned its agreement in May to Ganaste, LLC,^[12] a partnership of three investors managed by Seth Schorr, son of Wynn Resorts COO Marc Schorr.^[13] The buyers hoped to use the Speedway as a training ground to learn the gaming business before moving on to other acquisitions.^[13] The sale of the land and buildings was completed in January 2008 for $11.4 million, with MTR continuing to operate the casino, leasing it for $70,000 a month.^[13]

Lucky Club Hotel and Casino (2008-present)[edit]

Ganaste took full ownership in June 2008,^[14] and promptly renamed the property as the Lucky Club Casino and Hotel.^[15]

An electrical fire on June 9, 2008 forced the casino to close for two weeks while critical equipment was repaired.^[14]Nevada Gaming Commission approvals in 2013 indicated that a reorganization plan was approved and new ownership was held by Lucky Silver Gaming (LSG). LSG is owned by Seth Schorr, Jeff Fine and other partners.^[14]

In 2018, the property was put up for sale, with an asking price of $13 million.^[16]

Speedway to get new home in Sydney – Photos: Gary Reid

Following the announcement that Sydney Speedway is to be demolished in favour of a new rail facility, the NSW Government has today announced that a new home for Speedway racing will be built in the city.

By GEOFF ROUNDS

The long tradition of Speedway racing in Sydney was yesterday given a knockout punch by the state government announcing that the current site in Clyde will be compulsorily acquired for the $20 billion Metro West project.

The Minister for Transport Andrew Constance said today “agencies across government will work together to build a new Speedway facility, with a range of potential sites on the table.”

“The community and racing fans can be assured that the NSW Government remains absolutely committed to relocating speedway racing in Sydney,” Mr Constance said in a statement.

“I acknowledge the long-standing presence of the current Sydney Speedway and its significance to Western Sydney over the last 42 years. I am absolutely committed to ensuring that Speedway racing has a bigger and brighter future in the region for decades to come. The NSW Government owns sufficient land in Western Sydney to accommodate a new Speedway facility.”

It comes after the owners of Sydney Speedway were left in shock yesterday when they were told their iconic venue would be bulldozed in 2021 to make way for a new train marshalling yard for the Western Sydney Metro.

Acting Minister for Sport, Multiculturalism, Seniors and Veterans Geoff Lee said:

“Generations of families have enjoyed speedway racing and thanks to the NSW Government they will be able to continue to do so at a new venue,” he said.

The government will hold a forum on November 15 with the motorsport community to discuss potential options for where the new speedway could be located including options near the Sydney Motorsport Precinct at Eastern Creek.

The announcement has followed national and international outrage from operators of the existing speedway, fans and competitors.

Speedway business director Felicity Waldron said all this comes despite two years of renegotiating to renew a Crown land lease that the Speedway sits on and expires in 2026.

Motor racing fans have been in uproar over the decision and are holding a public rally at the Speedway tonight from 5pm.
