After some delays, in December 2019 Ellis Island opened the 'Front Yard' with a new restaurant, bar and beer garden. Planning for an expansion project began in 2017, with construction work commencing later that year. In 2018, the hotel's rooms and facilities were renovated. In 2014 Ellis bought the adjacent Super 8 motel, creating a vertically integrated hotel and casino business. However, the project was cancelled in June 2005, due in part to rising construction costs. Ellis Island would manage the Aqua Blue casino, and would itself be renovated to match the new tower. Later that year, Ellis signed on to the planned 46-story Aqua Blue condo-hotel project to replace an adjacent Super 8 motel.

The agreement fell apart when Tuscany officials allegedly backed out. As of 2020, the family owns and operates 12 Village Pub restaurants in the Las Vegas area.Įllis agreed in 2004 to manage and take joint ownership of the nearby Tuscany Suites and Casino, which had struggled to attract customers in its first year. In 1995 Ellis relaunched the Village Pub brand. On September 19, 1997, Ellis Island opened a large portion of a $12 million renovation and expansion, which doubled its slot machine count to 410 and introduced table games by adding six blackjack tables. The name was changed to Ellis Island in 1985. The Village Pub was opened in 1967 by Frank Ellis, who eventually passed it on to his son, Gary. The casino offers 350 gaming devices, as well as restaurants, a Karaoke bar and a brewery.
