\nSLS Las Vegas will close its buffet restaurant on Sunday, but officials said it would to reopen the space after the first of the year.<\/p>\n
\tNew SLS President Scott Kreeger said the second floor location \u201cis doing OK, but not hitting out of the park\u201d as compared to the other hotel-casinos restaurants.<\/p>\n
\tKreeger, who took over two weeks ago, said the buffet would reopen as part of a renewed effort to attract locals to the Strip resort, which opened in August. The SLS is a $415 million renovation of the former Sahara.<\/p>\n
\tKreeger said some of the buffet\u2019s employees would be moved to other SLS jobs. There will be some layoffs, but he wasn\u2019t able to give a total.<\/p>\n
\t\u201cWe\u2019re working with the (Culinary Local 226) union to help place the workers,\u201d Kreeger said.<\/p>\n
\tThe buffet is somewhat challenged by its location, which is apart from the other restaurants, such as Umami Burger, Cleo and the Griddle Cafe.<\/p>\n
\tKreeger took over for Rob Oseland, who had been with the property since 2012, before the 18-month construction transition. In October, SLS Las Vegas laid off less than 2 percent of its 3,400-person workforce after evaluating its staffing needs.<\/p>\n
\tKreeger said the property is evaluating ways to attract more locals, through various promotions and special offers. A buffet, will still be part of the attraction.<\/p>\n
\t\u201cThere is a local element we want to have at SLS,\u201d Kreeger said. \u201cWe\u2019ll look to reopen the buffet after the slow season.\u201d<\/p>\n
\tKreeger most recently was chief operating officer of the now-closed Revel in Atlantic City.<\/p>\n
\tBefore heading to Atlantic City, Kreeger spent the bulk of his gaming career in Las Vegas at MGM Mirage (now MGM Resorts International) and Station Casinos. Kreeger was the first general manager of Station Casinos\u2019 Red Rock Resort, overseeing the property\u2019s debut in 2006.<\/p>\n
\tThe 1,620-room SLS Las Vegas is owned by Stockbridge Real Estate and SBE Entertainment. The nine restaurants and three nightlife venues are managed by SBE and include many of the company\u2019s signature brands.<\/p>\n
\tThe 56,000-square-foot casino has nearly 800 slot machines, 74 table games and a high-limit gaming area. A sports book is operated by William Hill.<\/p>\n
