Hooters Hotel and Casino Lives Another Day
June 10, 2008 at 10:00 AM | 0 Comments
The Hooters Hotel & Casino has been on deathwatch for quite sometime but it looks like it will live (just barely) for another day.
The owner of the Hooters hotel, 155 E. Tropicana, was in talks to sell the property to Hedwigs Las Vegas Top Tier. However, Hedwigs failed to make a payment by June 6 which automatically terminated the deal. Yet Hooters did get about $5.5 million from Hedwigs in a non-refundable deposit and extension fees.
Of course, Hooters is not out of the woods now. East Tropicana has serious cash flow issues and has not been able to meet its debt obligations. So Hooters is on the lookout once again for some sugar daddies who want to either keep the Hooters brand in place or redevelop it completely. Hooters is easy! Whatever you want to do with them, they are ok with it.
We say, somebody should call Jimmy Buffett.

Hooters Hotel Ain't Afraid to Call a Deuce a Deuce

We love Hooters...the hotel & casino we mean.
This place will do anything Nevada law allows. They let you gamble, drink, eat, dance, marry, and divorce. They even let your kids into the swimming pool. That's how "down home" and relaxed this place is. So it's no surprise to us that they have this sign hanging outside the restrooms.
But we wonder, are their bathrooms the cure for the common crapper?

Hooters Casino Hotel Will Do Anything Nevada Law Allows

While Hooters Casino Hotel might not be the fanciest place in Las Vegas, the restaurant chain's first foray into the casino business has been able to distinguish itself from the competition with its laid-back atmosphere, reasonable gaming tables, casual nightlife scene, and of course, the Hooters girls who strut through the casino hotel each day in their short orange shorts, tight white tank tops and the somehow-sexy tube socks.
Now, the casino hotel is offering to "Build-a-Bash" for you and your friends. With party packages for bachelors, bachelorettes, the newly divorced and even class and family reunions, Hooters can drum up any type of party you want and they mean ANY type of party.
HotelChatter spoke with Allen Oakley, the man behind these bashes, who can make all your wild Vegas fantasies come true. So long as they are legal.
HotelChatter:
First off, how long have you been throwing these parties?
Allen Oakley:
We started about a month ago, so it's fairly new. When the hotel first opened, we weren't sure how popular we would be although we knew it would be very popular with men. Yet we actually get a really good crowd here. At nite, there's the younger crowd and then the regular Hooters customers during the day. So our demographics are like 21-101. And we started to have a huge demand for bachelor parties, then bachelorette parties and then birthdays in general. So we decided to have someone specifically to take all the calls and build the packages. Now we get like five requests a day.
HotelChatter:
What is your most popular package?
Allen Oakley:
Our most popular party is the Bachelor party and what's in the package depends on what they want. I mean, we can do anything, by law, and if we can't, then I can point them in the right direction and refer them to places. But if they want stripper poles in their room we can do that. We can reserve poker tables for them. We can have Hooters Casino T-shirts made up with the name of whatever their event is written on the back for $25 a shirt.
We also have the Celebrate your Divorce package which is a lot more fun than your actual wedding was. The Cure for the Common Hangover package will start your day with a bottle of tylenol. Then you can get a massage in our spa, maybe a bloody mary by the pool, and coffee sent up to your room first thing in the morning. We did have someone request Jell-O in their hotel room tub and we couldn't do that but I told the guests where the grocery store was.
