It’s been a turbulent couple of weeks in clubland. Along with the shutdown of the Sapphire topless pool at the Rio, Planet Hollywood’s Privé and the Living Room have been stripped of their liquor licenses, forcing the closing of both. Also closing last week was Poetry at the Forum Shops at Caesars. With the exception of Poetry, whose demise was tied to the departure of the restaurant with which it shared space (Chinois), all others were linked to allegations of underage patrons, drug use, nudity, and irresponsible behavior by club security. As a result, it’s expected that several other clubs will likely come under investigation in the near future.
Monster Dining Deal: Station Casinos is offering 2-for-1 entrées in all Station and Fiesta restaurants, excluding buffets and coffee shops (and Hachi at Red Rock), Sundays-Thursdays until September 3. There’s been little press about this, so call ahead to confirm, but it’s a great opportunity to try some excellent restaurants on the cheap. Must show a Boarding Pass or Amigo Card.
Lobster Lunacy: The non-casino Coachman’s Inn (3240 Eastern Ave.) is running a "Lobster Extravaganza" in August. Offerings range from a 20-ounce live-Maine lobster with baked potato and garlic bread for $25.95 to lobster quesadillas for $12.95. Many offers are 24/7.
Donny & Marie Extend: The Osmond siblings have just had their contract at the Flamingo extended for another two years, on top of a previous two-year add-on, so you’ll now be able to catch the popular Donny & Marie show through Oct. 2012.
Question: Last time I was in Las Vegas, it looked like they were tearing down the Lady Luck. Say it ain’t so.
Answer: It ain’t. At least not yet. An old structure that was part of the Lady Luck and stood dilapidated for several years is finally being demolished. Plans for a renovation of the Lady Luck reportedly remain intact, but no immediate work (besides this demolition) is expected.
