  Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
  
      On June 1, 1995, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of 
  Merger by and among the Registrant and M.S.E. Investments,
  Incorporated, Last Chance Investments, Incorporated, Gold Strike
  Investments, Incorporated, Diamond Gold, Inc., Gold Strike
  Aviation, Incorporated, Goldstrike Finance Company, Inc., Oasis
  Development Company, Inc., Michael S. Ensign, William A.
  Richardson, David R. Belding, Peter A. Simon II and Robert J.
  Verchota, as amended (the "Merger Agreement"), and an Exchange
  Agreement by and among the Registrant and New Way, Inc., Glenn W.
  Schaeffer, Gregg H. Solomon, Antonio C. Alamo, Anthony Korfman
  and William Ensign, as amended (the "Exchange Agreement" and,
  together with the Merger Agreement, the "Gold Strike
  Agreements"), the Registrant acquired a group of affiliated
  entities (collectively, the "Gold Strike Entities") which own the
  Gold Strike Hotel & Gambling Hall and the Nevada Landing Hotel &
  Casino in Jean, Nevada, the Railroad Pass Hotel & Casino in
  Henderson, Nevada, a 50% interest in a joint venture partnership
  with an affiliate of Hyatt Development Corporation which
  partnership owns the Grand Victoria, a riverboat casino and land-
  based entertainment complex in Elgin, Illinois (situated
  approximately 40 miles northwest of downtown Chicago), a 50%
  interest in a joint venture partnership with an affiliate of
  Mirage Resorts, Incorporated which partnership is developing a 
  gaming resort with approximately 3,000 rooms near the south end
  of the Las Vegas Strip, and certain other assets (collectively
  the "Gold Strike Properties").  It is anticipated that the
  Registrant will continue to operate the Gold Strike Properties in
  a manner similar to that in which they were operated under their
  prior ownership.
  
      Pursuant to the Gold Strike Agreements, the Gold Strike
  Entities were acquired by the Registrant (the "Acquisition") in
  exchange for the issuance by the Registrant of 16,291,551 shares
  of its Common Stock and the issuance by a subsidiary of the
  Registrant of shares of the subsidiary's preferred stock which is
  convertible into an additional 793,156 shares of the Registrant's
  Common Stock, as well as the Registrant's payment of
  approximately $12.1 million in cash and its assumption of
  approximately $165 million of debt.  The cash portion of the
  purchase price was funded from the Registrant's revolving credit
  facility, and the amount of the total consideration payable by
  the Registrant in connection with the Acquisition was determined
  through negotiation among the parties.  In connection with the
  Acquisition, certain of the Gold Strike principals entered into a
  five-year standstill agreement with the Registrant, and the
  Registrant entered into a registration rights agreement covering
  the Common Stock of the Registrant issued or issuable in the
  Acquisition.
  
      In accordance with the Gold Strike Agreements, Messrs.
  Richardson and Ensign were designated by the Gold Strike
  principals for election to the Registrant's Board of Directors. 
  The Board of Directors, in accordance with the Registrant's
  Bylaws, increased the number of directors in Classes II and III
  from two (2) to three (3) and filled the vacancies so created by
  the election of Mr. Richardson as a Class II director and Mr.
  Ensign as a Class III director, in each case for the balance of
  the current term of such class.  Pursuant to the Merger
  Agreement, the Registrant is also obligated, at the end of the
  current term of each such designee, to use its best efforts to
  cause such designee (or another individual designated by the Gold
  Strike principals) to be nominated for election to a full term
  when that class next stands for election in 1996 or 1997.  For
  additional information concerning Messrs. Richardson and Ensign,
  see Item 11 of the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
  the year ended January 31, 1995 and the Registrant's proxy
  statement relating to the 1995 annual meeting of its
  stockholders.
  
      Pursuant to the terms of the Gold Strike Agreements,
  upon the closing of the Acquisition, the Registrant entered into
  employment agreements with certain of its executive officers,
  including Clyde T. Turner, Kurt D. Sullivan, and Mike Sloan, and
  the following Gold Strike executives, who became executive
  officers of the Registrant upon the closing of the Acquisition: 
  Messrs. Ensign and Richardson and Glenn W. Schaeffer.   Messrs.
  Ensign and Schaeffer formerly were directors and officers of the
  Registrant.  For additional information concerning the terms of
  such employment agreements and options granted to certain of such
  individuals, reference is made to the Registrant's proxy
  statement relating to the 1995 annual meeting of its
  stockholders.
  
      For additional information concerning the Gold Strike
  Properties, reference is made to the disclosure appearing under

  of Gold Strike Entities" in Item 1 of the Registrant's Annual
