Advanced Patent Technology, a slot machine maker and slot route operator, announced plans in 1979 for a hotel and casino, with Ramada Inns to manage the hotel. Construction began in October, as a joint venture with John Fulton, a Southern California restauranteur; the casino opened on November 10, 1980. Circus-Circus bought and raized the property in 1984 to make room for their Edgewater property. (Wikipedia) 2 years later, Circus Circus constructed a new casino, just south of the Edgewater casino and named that property Colorado Belle.
