Las Vegas Company to buy Fitzgerald's Casino in Mississippi 

The agreement is subject to Full House obtaining financing for the acquisition within 90 days of its execution, obtaining regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions.

Full House said in a news release that it expects to close the deal during the third quarter of 2014."This property fits our acquisition strategy perfectly," Andre M. Hilliou, chairman and CEO of Full House said in a statement.

"The property has historically been well run and maintained under the current management team; however, we believe that we can leverage our knowledge and proven track record of managing properties catering to local customers in competitive environments to further improve the profitability of the Fitz Casino," Hilliou said.

The Fitz Casino has 38,000 square feet of gambling space with 1,100 slot and video poker machines and 20 table games. The property includes a 506-room hotel with 68 suites, a fine dining restaurant, buffet, quick service restaurant, two casino bars and an 8,100-square-foot multi-purpose event center.
