In mid-2013, Affinity Gaming chose to rename the casino Silver Sevens, reflecting the recent renovation. Hotel rooms and the sportsbook were among the renovated facilities, and nearly 1,000 new slot machines were added. An 18-month renovation was completed in January 2013, at a cost of $7 million.

The Terrible's name was popular among local residents, who made up 70 percent of the property's clientele. It reopened in December 2000 as Terrible's Hotel and Casino. The cost of acquisition and renovation was $65 million. The Herbsts demolished the building interior, but kept its outer shell. The hotel was sold to E-T-T Gaming, the Herbsts' gaming division (now Affinity Gaming), in November 1999. The Herbst family of Terrible Herbst saw an opportunity to open their first gaming property in Las Vegas, as the Continental was too small for locals casino operators Station Casinos and Coast Casinos, but too big for other, smaller slot route operators to acquire. The Continental itself declared bankruptcy in 1998, and was foreclosed on and closed by American Realty Trust in March 1999. But that deal fell through when Crowne fell into bankruptcy. They planned to convert the property into a nostalgia-themed resort to complement their 'Back to the 50s' catalog business. In 1996, Crowne Ventures agreed to buy the hotel for $35 million. The Continental Hotel and Casino opened in 1981. Silver Sevens was the host hotel for the Terrible's special events: The Terrible's 250, Terrible's 300, and Terrible's Cup Baja races sponsored by Terrible Herbst. Silver Sevens Hotel and Casino (formerly known as Terrible's) is a Las Vegas locals casino and hotel 1 mile (1.6 km) east of the Las Vegas Strip, in Paradise, Nevada.
