Golden purchased the casino-hotel in 2017 and began a $140 million renovation last year.

Steve Arcana is the company's executive vice president and chief operating officer. He says the upgrades are meant to address the property's "kind of outdated" feel.

The 1,150-foot tall property has more than 2,400 rooms. Its observation deck with views of the Las Vegas Strip consistently attracts crowds.
