I have no affection or great memories of the place. I never hung at the center bar area back in the day when they had such a thing, and hanging out there was a thing. I never spotted a celebrity while I was there.
I shouldn’t miss it at all, but it does sadden me that it will no longer be a thing. I can’t explain it, but it’s true.
]]>Hopefully Virgin can hit the renovations out of the park and make the place a destination again, but it’s probably going to take a killer rewards program or some seriously discounted rooms to entice the strip denizens.
]]>Possibly, but that doesn’t fit the usual pattern. If what they announced today is a sale agreement contingent on gaming commission approval, then typically there would be no reason to file a deed until the approvals are received and the sale closes.
If what they announced today is that the land and buildings have been sold, and Warner Gaming will continue to operate the place until the new owners get their gaming license, then we would expect to see a deed to the new owners.
Also, there was a new mortgage recorded on the property today, so this is definitely a closed sale, and not just a sale agreement.
]]>The sale is still subject to regulatory approval. No doubt the HRHH PropCo LLC is a parking spot until everything is approved.
