The "Official" and TCR both imply that the Colorado Belle, Laughlin, has a common history. However, when talking to employees, they do not consider the current Belle to be an extension of the earlier Belle. I have 1st and 2nd issue chips, and employees don't recognize 1st issue as really being the Belle. Some have indicated that the earlier Belle was located where the Edgewater currently is, and it was small, like the current Regency.

All info would be appreciated, however, I'm focused on how the old Belle became the new Belle. Same management? Was the name sold? etc.

Thanks, Jim Follis
