History
Sterling Hotel & Casino was located in Carson City, Nevada. During the War of the Realms, it hosted HenchFest, a convention for henchmen that Virgo came up with to take advantage of all the super heroes being busy, and use it for henchfolk to come together and share ideas, compare benefit packages, and spend money on the casino.
When on the run from Ares, the "Babysitters Club" protecting the infant Laussa stopped by Sterling Hotel & Casino to try to win money for funds, unaware that Laussa's powers influenced them to make that choice so that they could find the army of minions. The heroes stumbled into HenchFest, but managed to blend in until Kate Bishop was recognized by some henchmen. While fending off the villains, Ares had reached the room in the hotel where the heroes were keeping Laussa and kidnapped her. The heroes eventually managed to reach a ceasefire, and left Starling after learning of Laussa's abduction.[1]
