In 1960, the business was purchased by Joe Dini, Jr.,^[3] Giuseppe's son, who later became the longest serving member in Nevada State Assembly history.^[4] Following a series of expansions and acquisitions of buildings adjacent to the existing property, Dini's has expanded to include a main casino, restaurant and bar & lounge.^[3] Dini's is now owned by Joe Jr.'s two sons, George and Jay.^[5]
