Oasis (Atlanta) relocating/reopening, new rumors

Saw a former Oasis waitress post on Insta that Oasis is coming back and taking over Allure. Any truth to this? Would be nice to have such a short drive between the and Tattletale.

Further, both Oasis and Allure have instagram pages. Why isn't the "new" Oasis using their own page to promote a re-opening?
Allure posted just 2 days ago and it looks like business as usual there - they are not closed and don't appear to be "closing".
Not saying it's not happening, but I wouldn't get excited about it. Unless Oasis plans on becoming a black club, they need a whole new staff to run the place and I don't see anywhere where they are hiring for new staff and dancers. You're not going to be able to just reach out to previous employees and expect them to drop whatever they do now to come back to the club.
AND it's all supposed to happen within 2 weeks - don't see that happening.

There was more promotion when the rumor was they were taking over Pinups.
I checked out the new Oasis for Opening Day, late afternoon. Basically, it's Oasis Management running a day club at Allure. It's located down a side street and around the back of a shopping plaza on Cheshire Bridge. Not the best area, with the side street in poor repair and club parking chock-full of craters. Crowded/tight parking lot with construction-style metal barriers corralling the front of a large square building with an Allure Nightclub sign. At an opening near the middle, a friendly bouncer performed a heavy frisk. It wasn't military/gun-wearing stuff like Platinum used to be. But definitely more thorough than Pink Pony, TT, or even Vivide. That may in part owe to its normally being a late-night urban club, which for the time being, it'll apparently continue to be after dayshift is done.
Free parking/entry, and went through the door into a small passage before entering the club's main area. Unsurprisingly, it had an urban/nightclub feel. Lots of purple and pink vinyl upholstery, with flashing lights, screens, and panels. Clean and well-maintained, it looked somewhat recently renovated. A single men's room stood in one corner, staffed (I think) by a former Oasis bathroom guy. Very friendly, conversative, and professional, who seemed grateful for a couple dollar tip. There's a raised, carpeted runway/stage with pit areas on either side with couches and small tables. The stage was flanked off both sides by bars with highbacked leather stools along the walls. And finally, raised platforms were scattered about at the club's perimeter with more couches under varying degrees of lighting. A little too bright overall for me, but some shadowy corners for discrete mongers.
Unfortunately, the girls weren't up to former Oasis quality, ranging from 4 to 6 mostly, with only one 7-up. A mix of ethnicities leaning toward white girls, there were tattoos aplenty, plus extra poundage on most. Maybe a dozen or so when I got there, increasing to 35-40 later. I sat at one bar, getting dances there, and then later on one of the side couches. $10 per, and basically Pony-style performances. Nude with mild contact like Oasis also used to be. I was hoping for more of a Vivide grind, but wasn't to be had.
VIPs were curtained-off couch sections at one end of the club. Larger than Vivide, but appeared brighter from what I could see through gaps in the curtains. Fairly reasonable pricing at $50/30mins and $200 for the girl.
Couple addnl notes. I was told the DJ formerly worked weekends at Oasis. He overrtalked and droned on with loud, unintelligible mumbling that confused dancers and customers alike. It appeared the bars were still being prepped/stocked, lacking in some bar basics. Also, no food, but supposedly a food truck will be parked out front at some point in the future.
So there you have it. Wish I could say it was a killer time, and a great alternative to current clubs. Maybe for the VIPs, since they at least have curtain enclosures. But without Pony/TT-quality women, I don't see myself initially favoring the club. However, like Vivide, that may improve down the road. So, probably worth a check-in from time-to-time.
The website is new and at one point had the hours as open at 11:30am but recently, like in the last day or two, it has been changed to reflect open at 10pm.
Not sure if that's because the new Oasis experiment already ran its course or if Allure wants to separate its night from day operation.
Conisdering Oasis doesn't have promotion much anywhere else, it's an odd change to make if they are still operating during the day.
"Allure now has a dayshift. Featuring the staff and dancers from Oasis 🌴 🌴. Come by and check out our new home where the palm trees continue to sway!!!!"
"Love this place ! Day shift is the new oasis and the girls are amazing"
Would seem strange to leave those in place if they are distancing themselves from day shift.
It's obviously a google generated website vs a "real" website, but someone did make an adjustment to the times. And I'm not sure why there is such a lack of promotion.
