Not a big shock here that they went under.It will be interesting to see what landlords will start charging tenants on the Strip.Because these outrageous rents are being passed along to the consumer and eventually the consumer says they've had enough and don't go to overpriced restaurants with second rate food.Eventually the landlords can't get anybody to rent these spots zoned for restaurants/bars because the costs of the high rent can't be passed on to the consumer.They say the market corrects itself, we shall see.By hahaha Feb. 17, 2010 4:01 p.m. Suggest removal Zzzzzzzzz.By devilsfan Feb. 17, 2010 4:26 p.m. Suggest removal As an occasional visitor to Vegas, I can say that there are a gazillion bars like this one throughout the Strip properties.It's time someone came up with a new concept bar, besides the obligatory sports bars with bikini clad waitresses (not that I'm complaining!).By bam1969 Feb. 17, 2010 4:27 p.m. Suggest removal well, they had a good run. for 13 months.By mrlucky Feb. 17, 2010 4:59 p.m. Suggest removal MANY, MANY more such closing in the future---I can't believe any of the "nightclubs" are still open in these casinos. $2000 for "bottle service" so you can have a seat and a 20 bottle of wine--HEY EXECUTIVES---stop trying to rape
