[edit] History
Construction began on November 16, 1964, opening in 1966. The casino is named after the the builder Ben Goffstein's four daughters, Faith, Hope, Benita, and Michele. It originally contained only 120 rooms and a 20,000 square foot casino.
In 1976 the casino expanded to 33,000 square feet and changed decor to be warmer.
Today the casino occupies the entire block comprised of Fremont St, Casino Center, Third Street, and Carson Avenue. The Four Queens was also a partner in renovating the downtown area and creating the Fremont Street experience.
