Timeline
Peter Vincent "Cactus Pete" Piersanti (November 3, 1916 – February 15, 1994 ) was an American hotel and casino promoter active in Idaho and Nevada from the 1940s to the 1980s.
While in Ogden in 1941 Piersanti purchased a local bar and grill with a card room and a pinball machine distribution company.
In 1943 Piersanti enlisted in the United States Army and served during World War II.
After the war Piersanti and his family were among the original owners of the Island Park Lodge in Island Park, Idaho, which opened in 1947.
The property featured several slot machines owned by Piersanti.
He is credited as one of the main founders of the community of Jackpot, Nevada, in the 1950s.
He is namesake of two Nevada casinos he owned at different points in his career, Cactus Pete's casino in Jackpot and Cactus Jack's Casino in Carson City.
Piersanti was born in Superior, Wyoming, the youngest of six children.
His parents were Italian immigrants.
His family later moved to Ogden, Utah.
In 1954 the State of Idaho outlawed all forms of gambling.
In response Piersanti moved his slot machine operation from Island Park to a site just south of the Idaho border on U.S. Route 93 in what was then considered a part of Contact, Nevada, in Elko County.
The opening of Piersanti's establishment, Cactus Pete's Motor Lodge, was instrumental in the founding of the town of Jackpot.
Cactus Pete's was incorporated by Piersanti and others in 1956.
This corporation is considered the forerunner of Ameristar Casinos, which currently owns the Cactus Pete's property.
Originally a gas station with slot machines, by 1958 Cactus Pete's was so successful a 15-room hotel and aircraft runway were built to accommodate the growing numbers of visitors, mainly from nearby Idaho.
Piersanti sold his interest in Cactus Pete's in 1971.
After a brief stay in Las Vegas, later in 1971 he bought the Senator Club in Carson City and renamed it Cactus Jack's Senator Club.
Piersanti remained active in the Carson City gaming community until his retirement in 1989.
During his final years he lived in the Lake Tahoe area.
In addition to the casinos, Piersanti Drive in Jackpot is named after Piersanti.
In 2001 Piersanti was featured on a $5 casino token issued by Cactus Jack's Casino as part of a series honoring Nevada gaming pioneers.
