Rising Star Riverboat Casino - Time Lapse - Shot from our suite through the window (since they don't open) Sunrise, sunset, and sunrise again. :-)
The Indiana Gaming Commission in June 1995 selected a Hyatt-affiliated project in Rising Sun to receive a riverboat gaming license.
The Grand Victoria II casino opened in October 1996.
The Grand Victoria opened a 200-room hotel and an entertainment pavilion in July 1997, with a grand opening ceremony hosted by Robin Leach and Rich Little.
Hyatt decided in 2006 to sell the Grand Victoria. In 2011, Full House Resorts purchased the property for $43 million, and renamed it as the Rising Star Casino Resort.
A second hotel with 104 rooms, the $8-million North Star Tower, was opened at the site in December 2013.
