Reports confirm that Hooters Casino in Las Vegas has sold for $70 million to a New York-based hotel company. Michael Parks, a real estate broker with the CBRE Group, said that the 696-room hotel was sold in a quiet deal to Trinity Hotel Investors LLC on May 1st.
Hooters Casino Review
It was initially reported that Hooters Casino’s owner, Canyon Capital Advisors, sold the property for $53.8 million. However, Parks explained to ABC News that this figure doesn’t include personal property, which is what brought the final sale up to $70 million.
The big question now involves what Trinity Hotel Investors will do with Hooters Casino Hotel. So far, there have been no calls returned to the press on the matter. However, Mark Whittle, senior vice president of global development for Hooters of America, did say that the Hooters restaurant “will certainly be part of whatever they do.”
It seems that Canyon Capital may have turned the property for a decent profit because they acquired it in 2012 for $60 million, at a time when it was bankrupt. Now, following the reported $70 million sale, it looks like they’ve made a $10 million profit off the deal.
Not long ago, Hooters Casino’s neighbor, the 1,500-room Tropicana Las Vegas, sold to Penn National Gaming for $360 million. Obviously Hooters didn’t fetch anywhere near this price, however, as mentioned before, it did make the previous owners a nice profit.
The property originally opened as the Hotel San Remo in 1973 and remained under this name for over three decades. In 2006, the original four founders of Hooters bought the hotel casino and renovated it. Unfortunately, their reign at the casino didn’t last long since it went bankrupt six years later; this is when Canyon Capital stepped in and purchased Hooters Casino Hotel for the aforementioned $60 million, thus preserving the property.
Now, with a third sale within the last decade, Trinity Hotel Investors LLC will attempt to carry on the tradition for a casino that’s now been open for 42 years. And given the revitalized Vegas economy, it’s likely that Trinity should be able to do quite well with their latest acquisition.
