years of controversy<\/a>.<\/p>\nToby Keith’s restaurant and bar opened at Harrah’s Las Vegas on June 29, 2005.<\/p>\n
I Love This Bar & Grill had an impressive run, given the fact most restaurants in the chain averaged a two-year lifespan.<\/p>\n
The 262-seat venue featured live music, a dance floor, country-themed decor and a guitar-shaped bar.<\/p>\nMany honkeys were tonked here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHarrah’s recently finished what’s been touted as a $200 million renovation project.<\/p>\n
All 2,542 rooms at Harrah’s have been redesigned, and the casino floor has been remodeled. Harrah’s has two new high-definition LED screens to show off its amenities.<\/p>\n
About a year ago, Harrah’s removed a lot of the theming from its facade, and now the hotel boasts a more modern feel.<\/p>\nCreepy jesters are out.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe investments made at Harrah’s are directly attributable to the construction of the new Caesars Forum Conference Center nearby.<\/p>\n
Yes, there’s already a Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. This will not cause any confusion whatsoever.<\/p>\n
Anyhoo, conventioneers don’t love cheesy themes, so Harrah’s has largely gotten rid of its Mardi Gras jesters and other outdated touches.<\/p>\n
In anticipation of your question, yes, Winnie and Buck survived the renovation.<\/p>\nAre you Vegas enough to know the dog’s name is Chip?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nToday’s rabbit hole: If you look closely at that photo of Winnie and Buck, you’ll notice Winnie’s hand is in great shape.<\/p>\nBack in 2017, Winnie’s fingers were intact and sporting a huge rock.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThanks to some asshattery, Winnie’s fingers have since been vandalized. We’d argue some of that $200 million spent on the Harrah’s renovations should’ve been devoted to restoring Winnie’s digits to their former glory.<\/p>\nThis is why we can’t have nice things.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBringing things full circle, it’s worth noting the news release<\/a> touting the Harrah’s renovations and entertainment offerings did not include Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill. (It also didn’t mention the awkward departure of Mac King after 22 years. He’s relocating to Excalibur<\/a>.)<\/p>\nToby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill will be missed by country music fans, and we look forward to seeing what’s in the works for the space.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
