Queues to get in went all the way around the building. Due to the popularity, it was announced that a river boat would be brought in and incorporated as a part of the resort, hosting a new casino floor. The Northern Belle was brought in and remained open until July 1998 when the permanent casino opened its doors to the public with much pomp and circumstance. The opening night had a James Bond theme.
