History
Casino Magic Bay St. Louis former logo
The property was first opened by Casino Magic Corp. as Casino Magic Bay St. Louis, which was largely destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Its gaming barge floated over 7 mi (11 km) away and ended up in a forest. The ballroom at Casino Magic hosted the Heroes of Wrestling Pay-per-view in 1999 as well as two Ultimate Fighting Championship events UFC 15 and UFC 19.
Penn bought it from Pinnacle Entertainment in 2002 and renamed it Hollywood in 2006. [1][2]
