      This Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the
Schedule 13D, dated April 17, 2000 (the "Schedule 13D"), filed by Harveys
Casino Resorts, Colony HCR Voteco, LLC ("Voteco"), Thomas J. Barrack, Jr.
("Mr. Barrack") and Kelvin L. Davis ("Mr. Davis") with respect to the
Common Stock, par value $.10 per share (the "Pinnacle Common"), of Pinnacle
Entertainment, Inc. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall
have the respective meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

            Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented
by adding the following paragraph at the end thereof:

            Pursuant to the Assignment Agreement by and between Mr. Davis
and Mr. Barrack, dated December 18, 2000 (the "Assignment Agreement"), Mr.
Barrack purchased Mr. Davis' entire interest in Voteco. As a result of the
purchase, Mr. Barrack holds a 100% interest in Voteco and is the sole
member and manager of Voteco. As a result of the purchase, Mr. Davis no
longer has an interest in Voteco and, therefore, is no longer deemed to
beneficially own the shares of Pinnacle Common beneficially owned by
Voteco. The Reporting Persons are making this joint filing because they may
be deemed to constitute a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of
the Exchange Act, although neither the fact of this filing nor anything
contained herein shall be deemed to be an admission by the Reporting
Persons that such a group exists.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

            Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented
by incorporating herein by reference the response to Item 2 hereof.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
         RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

            Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented
by incorporating herein by reference the response to Item 2 hereof.

ITEM 7.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

            Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented
by adding the following immediately at the end thereof:

Exhibit 5   Assignment Agreement, dated as of December 18, 2000,
