Olympic Gardens/OG closes.

One of the only spots in Vegas where extras were generally available. OG apparently shut its doors rather abruptly last weekend, possibly over the failure to maintain their liquor license. Though I'd heard that the relatively new owners were having other legal troubles. Their facebook claims they are moving operations to a new club called "Sophia's" and most of the talent is going too.
I'm disappointed... sort of. I had a lot of fun at this club, it was a great place to take a break from the tables and relax for a few hours in the afternoon. BUT it had gone way down hill and the sell that took place the summer before last hurt it even more.
I'll also be curious to see what happens to the actual property. They had a large two story building right on Las Vegas Boulevard that would need fairly extensive remodeling to be anything other than a club. I think there's a decent chance it gets bought and turned into another strip club.

Got something to say?

I don't know how familiar you are with Fremont but essentially the Stevens brothers bought everything between Binion's and Main Street: Las Vegas Club, Mermaids, Glitter Gulch and two tiny shops between Mermaids and Glitter Gulch. They also bought La Bayou which was across from Mermaids.
The prevailing opinion is that mermaids will be torn down to extend Golden Gate and the other properties will be torn down to build a new resort on that corner. I read somewhere the Stevens want to rival Golden Nugget in quality (essentially Strip quality). It's all big money, they spent 13.5 million just to get the two tiny shops.
I also liked that the club was within walking distance from the Stratosphere, which is where we would sometimes stay.
Anyone know where the new club is/will be located?
Gotta admit that I had more bad times than good at GGG, but I'll still miss it the next time I visit the downtown area.
Glad they are finally doing something positive for downtown.
@papi_chulo, the counties where prostitution is legal are sparsely populated and have their own brothels. Pahrump has the closest brothels to Vegas and it's probably and hour+ drive.
Sapphires and Rhino were so "Las Vegas" but the OG reminded you at least a little bit of just a normal club. Mind you if you walked 100 feet from the entrance at night you'd probably be murdered.
^^^ Yep. Sounds like standard zoning S.O.P. for most cities' strip clubs. ^_^

It was along the route from the strip to Fremont street which is a very unsafe area in spots.
Sapphires, Rhino, Cheetahs, Treasures are closer together in a more industrial area.
