A couple weeks ago I wrote about how Hilton was terminating their franchise agreement with Las Vegas Hilton at the end of the year.
Now news has surfaced that Atlantic City Hilton is facing the same fate. Except they don't even have until the end of the year, and have already re-branded the hotel as "ACH."
If you go to the Atlantic City Hilton website, you will see that the name ACH has replaced most of the Hilton branding.
David McKee wrote a good article about the name change. He speculates that ACH is likely a temporary placeholder name until the property can be sold off to another company.

Carlos'n Charlie's coming to Flamingo
The popular Mexican restaurant and bar chain Carlos'n Charlie's will be opening a location at Flamingo this winter.
The restaurant will be located next to the sportsbook and will feature an outdoor terrace space overlooking the back courtyard area.
I think this will be a nice addition to Flamingo, and should go along well with their other tropical themed restaurant, Margaritaville.
Carlos'n Charlie's is owned by the same company as another premiere Mexican watering hole, Señor Frog's, which is also opening a location in Las Vegas later this year at Treasure Island.

CityCenter - Bad News for Eve and Harmon
Two recent bits of news about CityCenter surfaced in the past couple of days.
The stalled Harmon Hotel building has been deemed unsafe in the unlikely event of a major earthquake. The news is further proof that the Harmon likely will never open, and might be disassembled. MGM and Perini Corp. are battling in court over who's to blame for the debacle.
Eva Longoria's Eve Nightclub has closed, at least temporarily. The club at the Crystals shopping complex has faced financial difficulties from day one. Beso, the restaurant attached to the club will remain open.

Ladies Night is still Legal in Vegas
Good news for female (and single male) party-goers in Las Vegas - "Ladies Nights" are still legal based on new anti-discrimination legislation.
The Las Vegas Sun has a story about the new law that makes it illegal to discriminate based on gender, but allows establishments to "offer differential pricing, discounted pricing or special offers based on sex to promote or market the place of public accommodation."
This is key for Las Vegas nightclubs, which frequently offer free or reduced cover charges for female guests.

Mini Golf Piano Bar coming to Plaza
A bar featuring putt-putt golf and dueling pianos will be opening at the newly remodeled Plaza hotel on Fremont Street. Grand opening is scheduled for Labor Day weekend later this summer.
The nine hole mini golf course will be Vegas themed, and will feature glow-in-the-dark "disco golf" late at night.
The bar will be owned by Las Vegas celebrity hypnotist Anthony Cools. Here's what he had to say about the bar:
"Swingers Club will be unlike anything else in Las Vegas. This isn’t an ultra club with high priced bottle service. Our goal was to create an inviting atmosphere where people can relax and just have fun. They can enjoy the live music of dueling pianos or leading stage acts, socialize with friends over drinks, and maybe meet someone new over a few holes of mini golf. I’m confident that the unique concept of the Swingers Club will complement the fun vibe of downtown and make it a favorite destination for locals and tourists alike."
I definitely like the unique aspect of this bar and others downtown, notably Insert Coin(s). Fremont Street is turning into a pretty fun place to go bar hopping. Not that it wasn't fun before, but these new bars are helping to take downtown to a higher level.
