History
The Village Pub was opened in 1967 by Frank Ellis, who eventually passed it on to his son, Gary.[1]
The name was changed to Ellis Island around 1986.[1]
Ellis 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.[1] The agreement fell apart when Tuscany officials allegedly backed out.[2]
Later that year, Ellis signed on to the planned 36-story Aqua Blue condo-hotel project to replace the adjacent hotel. Ellis Island would manage the Aqua Blue casino, and would itself be renovated to match the new tower.[3] However, the project was cancelled in June 2005, due in part to rising construction costs.[4]
