After building the Landmark Hotel and Casino on Convention Center Drive and selling it to Howard Hughes, developer Frank Carroll built the DeVille Casino across the street from the Landmark at 900 Convention Center Drive in 1969. Chips were made for the casino (and are sought-after collectibles), but the casino never opened. Building was renovated in 1992 as a race book parlor named Sport of Kings which closed after nine months.
It became The Beach nightclub, which was demolished in 2007 to make room for a planned 600-unit tower that was never built.
