The suicide occurred in the Duketts' home; a room at a motel that was a part of the Dixie Bar at the time.
The Henderson Home News noted that "Pittman may well be the only town in the United States where the only library is located in one of the local taverns."
[7] In August 1958, two masked men robbed the Dixie Bar around midnight, stealing more than $100 and tying up the Cooks in a back room.
[15] Ligouri and a few business partners,[15] including Frank Kish[16] and co-owner Joseph Antonio, built the 4,000 sq ft (370 m2) Skyline Casino & Restaurant on the property.
[17][19] The Skyline's 24-hour restaurant served American, Chinese, and Italian food, with a seating capacity of 96 people.
"[20] Kish – whose family owned stock in the Skyline Corporation, an Indiana-based mobile home manufacturer – acted only as a landlord, without taking part in the business.
[22] By March 1968, Walter Stogsdill had purchased the Skyline; the restaurant had been reopened by that time, while an imminent grand opening for the casino was being planned.
[23] In June 1968, Stogdsdill and three other men sought a gaming license to reopen the Skyline's casino portion.
The Skyline had been completely remodeled by that point, while Ligouri had future plans for a sports book and a 40-unit motel.
[15] At the time, the property consisted of a one-story 4,000 sq ft (370 m2) building, with a bar and 15 slot machines.
[33] Kish planned to expand the bar and restaurant, while also adding a new office and a video game arcade.
[36][37] In 1980, an alley behind the Skyline, serving as a parking lot, was approved for the construction of an additional building.
[39] In August 1982, a man was arrested after robbing an undetermined amount of money from the Skyline's casino cage.
[40] By July 1986, the first phase of a three-phase expansion was underway with a 10-room addition to the Sky Motel, at an estimated cost of $150,000.
[32] In June 2003, Kish sold the casino for $3.9 million to Jim Marsh,[1] who owned a local automobile dealership and hotel-casino properties elsewhere in the state, including the Longstreet Hotel, Casino, and RV Resort in Amargosa Valley, Nevada.
[2] As of 2008, the Skyline was one of a few Las Vegas casinos to still feature slot machines that accept and dispense coins.
"[46] In 2011, the bar, casino, restaurant, sports book and stage area received a renovation costing approximately $2 million.
[44] In February 2018, the Nevada Gaming Control Board filed a three-count complaint against the Skyline's gaming operator, Northumberland LMG Corporation, for its failure to submit monthly hiring reports for the casino – as required by the board – dating to May 2016.
Marsh, the president of Northumberland, admitted the failure and stated that it was due to a manager who fell behind on filing the reports as the result of personal problems.
