\tFor five years, owners of The D Las Vegas talked to officials with the Tamares Group, expressly GM Jonathan Jossel, about buying the Las Vegas Club. That back-and-forth finally intensified about a month ago, and Friday it was announced that Greg and Derek Stevens snapped up the old hotel-casino at Main and Fremont streets.<\/p>\n
\n\tWhat\u2019s next? A wait, shutdown and review of the property.<\/p>\n
\tThat shutdown is happening sooner than expected. Though Derek Stevens said today that it would be 60 days before the Las Vegas Club would close, Jossel said plans are in place for the hotel\u2019s table games to close by Sunday night, and the full casino would cease operations by Wednesday night, pending approval by the state Gaming Commission.<\/p>\n
\tAsked if that meant Las Vegas Club\u2019s casino would be entirely shut down by Thursday, Jossel said, \u201cThat is the plan, yes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\tEarlier, Stevens talked of his plans to take over the property.<\/p>\n
\t\u201cWe want to evaluate the best use of the property and how to renovate what we have; we need to look through and look at the condition of the structure, that kind of thing,\u201d Stevens said during a phone conversation today. \u201cTamares is still operating under a 60-day lease, and they are going to wind down operations and move most of their employees over to the Plaza (which also is a Tamares property).\u201d<\/p>\n
\tLas Vegas Club\u2019s 410-room hotel has been closed for about two years. The property is one of the city\u2019s oldest hotel-casinos, opening in 1930, and was the first Las Vegas casino to install a neon sign one year after that opening.<\/p>\n
\tThe hotel has a recognizable design. Its familiar stadium fa\u00e7ade is visible from Oscar\u2019s Beef Booze & Broads across Main Street.<\/p>\n
\t\u201cWhen we take over, it will be completely shut down,\u201d Stevens said. \u201cThere will be some demolition and renovation, but that will be several months down the line.\u201d<\/p>\n
\tMeantime, something special is being planned for The D.<\/p>\n
\tStevens is in Brussels, Belgium, on a business trip and said, \u201cThere is something at The D kicking up, and it\u2019s something we\u2019re bringing back to The D from Brussels.\u201d<\/p>\n
\tExpect a sculpture\/water feature effect. One expects that it will work in symmetry with the Long Bar, which also is something of a fluid feature.<\/p>\n

Just hope someone will take over and make it into a great place to play. <\/p>\n
