Hooters to change again
It was really no surprise when it was announced a few days ago that the Hooters casino-hotel would be revamped into a boutique hotel and casino.
Since the San Remo was changed over to the Hooters theme 2 years ago it’s not been a big moneymaker. There’s a couple of reasons why. It’s in sort of a bad location being “off-strip.”
Perceptions are weird here. If something’s on the strip is thought of as closer than off strip, even though the distance from the Tropicana to the Hooters is less than the distance from the Mandalay Bay to the Excalibur!
Also, this is Vegas. Sin City. Hooters in North Dakota is a big deal. In Vegas? Not as much. You can see a lot more skin at the pools and many of the cocktail waitress uniforms are more revealing than the orange shorts & tank tops that Hooters girls wear. Hell at the new Hawaiian Tropic Zone they wear bikinis!
I do sort of miss the San Remo. They had a great 24 hour prime rib special and some decent odds at the tables. We had gone there the first night I had moved here & I won a few dollars.
The Hooters wasn’t a bad idea really just wasn’t the right fit for Vegas.
