CDI plans to buy Richmond, Virginia–based Peninsula Pacific Entertainment LLC (P2E) for nearly $2.5 billion. CDI will acquire all of P2E’s assets in New York and Virginia, as well as the operations of its Sioux City, Iowa casino property.

Del Lago is among the properties that CDI will acquire in this deal.
