Owners of The D Las Vegas buy Las Vegas Club

The Plaza Hotel and Casino, which is owned by Tamares Group, will take in outgoing workers of the Las Vegas Club following the closure, according to Jossel.

The downtown Las Vegas Club, which is being purchased by the owners of the D Las Vegas, will close at an undisclosed date, it was learned Saturday.

Tamares Group’s CEO Jonathan Jossel announced Friday that the aging Las Vegas Club has been sold to Derek and Greg Stevens, owners of the nearby the D Las Vegas and Golden Gate casinos.

In 2013, Derek Stevens bought the former Clark County Courthouse for $10 million and converted the 2.76-acre site into an outdoor concert venue.

“It was very quick the way it all happened, and it was very fluid”, he said. However, knowledge of interest in the property by the Stevens brothers and desire to focus on the Plaza were factors of the sale and not opposition to the pharmacy/liquor store plan.

In a meeting, Jossel characterised the procedure of sales the Las Vegas Club as quickly but in accordance to balanced importance. “We didn’t buy the name Las Vegas Club or the player database either for that matter”.

Not long ago, the Las Vegas Club found itself in the middle of a bitter controversy, as PlayLV sought approval from city officials to turn part of the casino into a drugstore that would offer packaged liquor.

An announcement by the Las Vegas Club in May 2015, of its intent to open a 13,810-square-foot pharmacy that would sell packaged liquor on the eastern side of the casino was strongly opposed by neighboring casinos.

The sale has bigger implications, too. Derek Stevens did not return a phone call seeking comment. “(The Las Vegas Club is) a property that has probably not gotten the attention it should have for the past several years, so I think that will change”.

Gaming Control Board Chairman A.G. Burnett said he was not familiar with the specifics of the transaction, but that regulatory approval will likely be necessary.
