Gary Green Gaming Secures Strategic Casino Property at the World’s Most Critical Lithium Site
Las Vegas, NV (USANews.com) – Gary Green Gaming™, a name long associated with transformational plays in the gaming and hospitality sector, has entered into a binding agreement to acquire the only casino adjacent to the Thacker Pass lithium mine—widely recognized as one of the most significant lithium deposits in the world. This move strategically positions Gary Green Gaming at the epicenter of a $3.5+ billion energy infrastructure boom, catalyzed by Lithium Americas’ $2.93 billion investment and General Motors’ $650 million commitment. Thacker Pass is projected to supply up to 25% of the world’s lithium demand. “This is not just a casino acquisition—it’s a stake in the next great American boomtown,” said Gary Green, Founder of Gary Green Gaming. “We’re embedding ourselves into the foundational geography of the global energy transition.” The Project: "Electric Wild West" Meets Strategic Asset Play Gary Green Gaming will redevelop and expand the legacy ‘Say When Casino’ into a comprehensive entertainment and hospitality hub designed to serve the thousands of miners, engineers, executives, and contractors converging on Thacker Pass. Development plans include:

  • Expansion and redesign of the existing roadhouse-style casino into a modern entertainment destination

  • A 24-hour restaurant designed for shift-workers, travelers, and locals

  • A boutique hotel for business and leisure guests as well as temporary housing for miners
  • A major entertainment complex and broadcast-recording center, poised to become a hub for lithium-related coverage as well as a showcase for national music acts

  • A shopping district targeting the needs of incoming workers and support staff while enhancing availability to the existing population
“In all our years of development, this represents the most compelling convergence of market timing, location exclusivity, and scalable demand we’ve ever seen,” Green added. “That’s why we’re buying it directly.” First Mover Advantage in an Untapped Market As the only entertainment, casino, and hospitality complex within close proximity to this historic mining initiative, Gary Green Gaming commands a unique market position for entertainment, lodging, and dining in the region—a dominant advantage amid exponential population and capital inflow. “We see this not as a gamble, but as a strategic opportunity. Lithium is rapidly becoming a critical resource in the global energy transition, and we’re building the infrastructure for its human side—the place where business gets done, where workers unwind, and where the culture of this emerging economy gets defined,” said Green.
