Television producer Merv Adelson found undeveloped land near Batiquitos Lagoon in 1963 and built La Costa with Moe Dalitz and two other Las Vegas partners, using Teamsters Pension Fund loans. It opened on July 10, 1965, with 40 units at $22 a night, green fees included, and grew into a golf-and-tennis resort that hosted PGA Tour events. Omni now runs the Carlsbad resort, which turned 60 in 2025.
