Hooters Casino Hotel/Giving Vegas Something to Howl About

摘要

Look for even more women in skimpy outfits on the Vegas Strip now that the Hotel San Remo is being refurbished as the first Hooters Casino Hotel. The San Remo signed a management agreement with the Hooters restaurant chain in late 2004 to make changes in the 10.2-acre property at 115 E. Tropicana Ave., across from the MGM Grand. The 130 million dollars project entails a complete makeover with new finishes, restaurants and rooms. "It's basically a Hooters on steroids," said Richard Langlois, the property's executive vice president. "The Hooters restaurant we're adding to the property would be the second-largest Hooters in the company. But when you look at the overall scope of the project, it is absolutely the largest Hooters around." The 10-month fast-track project calls for 110,000 sq. ft. worth of renovation and 16,300 sq. ft. of new construction. Penta Building Group is the general contractor under a guaranteed-maximum-price contract.
