Hooters in Las Vegas Files for Bankruptcy

Vegas Hooters

Vegas restaurant-casino Hooters has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, citing assets worth $10-50 million against liabilities of $162 million. After being re-branded as Hooters in 2006, the hotel has suffered from mixed reviews and could be bought out. They are seeking to restructure their debt and continue business as usual.

Perhaps this may have to do with the location? It’s not in the best spot (off the Strip), is right near the Tropicana (as seen in this photo), and they even had an offer from Hedwigs Las Vegas Top Tier to buy it and re-brand for $225 million with a $130 million re-fit, but it fell through.
