As we’ve reported on the Twitters<\/a>, the sale of SLS Las Vegas<\/a> to its announced buyer, Alex Meruelo and his Meruelo Group, recently seemed very much stalled.<\/p>\n Now, all that’s changed.<\/p>\n A source with knowledge of the SLS sale says news of the closure of Lucky Dragon’s casino<\/a> and restaurants caused an immediate change of course in the negotiations, with the seller (Stockbridge Capital Partners) suddenly highly motivated to meet Meruelo’s demands and seal the deal.<\/p>\n It’s expected Meruelo Group will take over SLS Las Vegas in late Feb. 2018.<\/p>\n
