The offer is valued at $2.27 billion. Aztar also announced that it has amended its previously signed purchase agreement with Pinnacle to increase the purchase price from $38 a share. The offer exceeds Colony Capital's reported $41 a share offer and equals the bid by Ameristar Casinos. However, the bid is still below the $47 a share announced Monday by Columbia Sussex Corp.
