The hotel, owned by AmeriHost, opened in May 1995, and the company called it 'the most upscale Days Inn anywhere'.^[9] It was rebranded as an AmeriHost Inn by 2000,^[10] and in 2002 it was sold to AmeriHost's former chairman, Michael P. Holtz.^[11]

The theme park, renamed as Funtricity Entertainment Park, also opened in May 1995.^[12] Six Flags designed it as the flagship in a new chain of entertainment centers, targeted at markets too small to support a full-size park;^[13] within two years, though, the concept was reportedly put on hold.^[14] The park closed in 1998,^[15] and Alliance bought the site for $500,000^[16] and adapted its main building for use as a concert venue.^[17]

A casino expansion was completed in 1999, increasing the number of slot machines from 725 to over 1,000.^[18]

In 1999, United Gaming put the property, along with its other casino in Nevada, on the market, to help pay down corporate debts, but no satisfactory offers were received.^[18]

Bally put the Rainbow back on the market in 2006.^[19] In 2010, a sale was finally made to Isle of Capri Casinos for $80 million.^[20] Isle of Capri rebranded the property under its Lady Luck name in November 2012.^[21]

In March 2018, Eldorado Resorts (which had acquired Isle of Capri Casinos in 2017) agreed to sell the property to Churchill Downs Inc., owner of the neighboring Riverwalk Casino, for $51 million.^[22] The sale was canceled, however, as a result of inquiries from antitrust regulators.^[23] In July 2019, Eldorado agreed instead to sell the property to Twin River Worldwide Holdings, along with the Isle of Capri Casino Kansas City, for a total of $230 million.^[24] The deal was made to help finance Eldorado's pending acquisition of Caesars Entertainment.^[24] The sale to Twin River (later Bally's Corporation) closed in July 2020, and the property was renamed as Casino Vicksburg.^[25]
