Yes, despite the oh-so-clever do-not-disturb signs—not to mention that fact that Hooters and Las Vegas would seem to be made for one another—redevelopers have come a knockin’. That’s the word from the Las Vegas Review-Journal, which reports that Hooters Hotel is being purchased by a developer who plans to transform it into a “lifestyle, entertainment-driven boutique hotel and casino complex.”
If all goes according to plan, since Hooters and “boutique” are clearly mutually exclusive concepts, Hooters will have to go.
According to the Review-Journal, the developer “wants to rebrand the property because he believes it could be more profitable with a brand targeting higher-end customers than those that visit Hooters.”
The sale could close by late spring and work could begin later this year. No word on when the hotel will close.
And it seemed like just a couple of years ago that we blogged the opening of the hotel. Oh wait, it was—almost to the day.
