add , including a three-story façade, with the third floor being non-functional. Other plans included a 38-foot lighted exterior sign, two new entrances, 100 new slot machines, and a new southwestern theme. A grand reopening was scheduled for August 2, 1993, the casino's four-year anniversary. Other expansions included a horseshoe-shaped bar and a larger lounge. In 1997, the casino offered proposition betting, and was among nine other Las Vegas casinos to offer SportXction, a new interactive betting system. The casino closed on January 12, 1998, partially because of competition from the new, nearby Sunset Station. For 18 months prior to its closure, monthly profits had declined from $650,000 to $275,000, with a 35 percent decrease in customer attendance. Sports book losses were another reason for the closure, as Yarbrough owed more than $150,000 in sports wagers at the casino and three other sports books that he owned, but lacked the funds to pay off the debts. Following the closure, 92 employees were laid off. The casino had featured 219 video poker machines at the time, while its small restaurant had become known for its $1.99 breakfast specials. Industry observers felt that the closed casino would need to expand and add amenities such as a pool and hotel in order to compete. Klondike Sunset Casino (1999–present) In September 1998, John Woodrum, a longtime friend of Yarbrough, purchased the property for $1.4 million in a foreclosure auction. That month, Woodrum announced that the casino would be reopened as the Klondike Sunset Casino, which was expected to employ approximately 150 people upon opening. Woodrum hoped to have the casino opened as early as December 31, 1998, although the opening date was contingent on when the casino would receive approval for gambling and liquor licenses. Woodrum's intended New Year's Eve opening was delayed as he awaited approval of a state gaming license. Woodrum invested $5 million to renovate the building, which included an expansion of the casino's bar. The Klondike Sunset Casino opened on October 1, 1999. It was Woodrum's second casino property, and a sister property to his Klondike Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip in nearby Paradise, Nevada. Woodrum chose not to add a hotel to the property, opting instead to focus on the locals market. Woodrum's Klondike property on the Las Vegas Strip attracted a clientele consisting mostly of senior citizens and Henderson residents who preferred smaller casinos. Woodrum
