The property was originally opened on July 1, 1977 as the Maxim Hotel and Casino. It was built at a cost of $25 million by a group of ten Nevada businessmen, including the owners of Reno's Club Cal Neva. Though smaller than typical Vegas resorts even before today's megaresort era, the Maxim had a popular following because of its attention to personal service.

The Maxim was the site of the shooting death of rapper Tupac Shakur in 1996. Shakur was a passenger in a BMW that was driving in front of the casino, when a man in a Cadillac pulled up and opened fire, gravely wounding the rap star. He died a week later from his injuries.

In June 2000, where it was purchased by a Texas-based company, Revanche, for $10 million.  A complex legal battle ensued between members of Premier and Meralex; meanwhile, Revanche unsuccessfully sought a buyer for the Maxim. With the hotel continuing to lose money, Revanche closed it on August 13, 2001.
