Hotel San Remo / Hooters Hotel

Hotel San Remo in Las Vegas, Nevada. This will become a Hooters property next year. As of today, I don't have a lot of praise for the place (although the room service was good). Posted by Hello

From USA Today:

The Hotel San Remo has signed a management deal with the Hooters restaurant chain to rebrand the Las Vegas hotel-casino into a Hooters Casino Hotel. (Photo gallery: Hooters in the air)

At your service: Hooters girls are betting travelers will check into a new hotel-casino in Vegas.


"It's going to be an entirely new property," San Remo General Manager Mike Hessling said Tuesday. "You will not recognize a portion of the San Remo when it's done."


Good.

The 711-room property also will have new restaurants, including a Hooters, Dan Marino's Fine Food and Spirits, a Florida-based chain owned by the former Miami Dolphins football star.

The pool area will be about three times its current size, with a Hooters Beach Club and tropical theme. The hotel rooms will be remodeled with a "Florida casual" look and the casino also will be updated. The outside of the property will feature the Hooters owl logo and at night will be lit with the chain's trademark orange tint....

The San Remo intends to keep its 600 or so employees but will hire an additional 400 workers, including Hooters Girls, Hessling said. None of the property's existing employees will be replaced by Hooters Girls, he said.


Pity. Some of the current San Remo employees are pretty rude and/or "it's not my department" types.

Hooters has been looking to get into the casino business and was scouting the Las Vegas market for the last three and a half years, said Hessling.

The Hooters casino experiment may spread elsewhere if the property is successful, though the company doesn't yet have expansion plans, Hooters Management Corp. President Neil Kiefer said....


P.S. Perhaps it's just me, but I find the Hooters uniform to be extremely unsexy. In fact, the only uniform that is less sexy is the Hot Dog on a Stick uniform.
