Emerald Island Casino co-owner Tim Brooks remembers where he was 20 years ago this week.
“We were running around like a chicken without a head getting ready to open,” he said.
Brooks and co-owner — and twin brother — Mike bought the Pot O’Gold Casino in 2001 and the pair spent the next year and a half, and about $2 million, renovating the closed casino in downtown Henderson’s Historic Water Street District.
