From the May 16 Kansas City Star.

The Kansas City Port Authority approved the $33.5 million dollar sale of the Kasnas City Missouri Flamingo Hilton Casino to the Mississippi based Isle of Capri Casinos Inc. If the MO Gaming Commission also says yes at a meeting may 31, the casino would change hands June 5. The vessel would be remodled as a 19th century riverboat casino. The inside will have a 16 foot waterfall into a pool in the middle of the gaming floor, with banks of slot machines jutting from the rock sides of the structure. Payroll for 800 employees will be $18.5 million. Current workers will be kept. $15 million is planned to be spent on the remodel.
