Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. is a gaming company headquartered in Creve Coeur, Missouri, in Greater St. Louis which operates casinos and associated entertainment and lodging facilities in the United States.
Currently operating 15 casinos in seven states across the U.S., Isle of Capri properties have nearly 13 million visitors each year. These properties have a total of about 14,000 slot machines, 350 table games, 2,300 hotel rooms; and three dozen restaurants.
History
The company opened its first casino in 1992 as a publicly traded corporation. The Company's founder Bernard Goldstein was known as the "grandfather of riverboat gaming since he owned the first riverboat casino to sail on the Mississippi River.
In April 1992 it was renamed Anubis II Corporation. In June 1992 it was renamed again to Casino America, Inc. and began trading on the NASDQ under the ticker symbol CSNO. In 1995 it announced a move to trade to the New York Stock Exchange but that did not happen. In September 1998 it became Capris Casinos, Inc. and changed its ticker symbol to "ISLE."
Some of the main features of the island include the following: the Marina Piccola (the little harbour), the Belvedere of Tragara (a high panoramic promenade lined with villas), the limestone crags called sea stacks that project above the sea (the Faraglioni), the town of Anacapri, the Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra), and the ruins of the Imperial Roman villas.
Capri is part of the region of Campania, Province of Naples. The town of Capri is the island's main population centre. The island has two harbours, Marina Piccola and Marina Grande (the main port of the island). The separate comune of Anacapri is located high on the hills to the west.
Etymology
The etymology of the name Capri is unclear; it might either be traced back to the Ancient Greeks (Ancient Greek κάπρος kapros meaning "wild boar"), the first recorded colonists to populate the island. But it could also derive from Latincapreae (goats). Fossils of wild boars have been discovered, lending credence to the "kapros" etymology; on the other hand, the Romans called Capri "goat island". Finally, there is also the possibility that the name derives from an Etruscan word for "rocky", though any historical Etruscan rule of the island is disputed.
Päivi "Capri" Virkkunen later known as Päivi Selo (born on 28 February 1972), simply known as Capri, is a Finnish singer and vocal coach.

By the time she reached the age of 19, she took singing lessons, she studied to become a vocal coach.
In her early years, Capri studied at the Central Ostrobothnia Conservatory of Music in 1991, and taught at the Oriveden Institute. Among other things, she was a singing coach for Tampere Workers' Theatre in the musical Chicago.
