More clubs may be probed


By Anthony Curtis

It's been a turbulent couple of weeks in club land. Along with the shutdown of the Sapphire topless pool at the Rio, Planet Hollywood's Privé and the Living Room have closed after being stripped of their liquor licenses. Also closing last week was Poetry at the Forum Shops at Caesars. With the exception of Poetry, whose demise was tied to the departure of the restaurant with which it shared space (Chinois), all the others were linked to allegations of underage patrons, drug use, nudity, and irresponsible behavior by club security. So it's likely that several other clubs will come under investigation in the near future.

MONSTER DINING DEAL: Station Casinos is offering 2-for-1 entrees at all Station and Fiesta restaurants, excluding buffets and coffee shops (and Hachi at Red Rock), Sundays through Thursdays until Sept. 3. There's been little press about this, so call ahead to confirm, but it's a great opportunity to try some excellent restaurants on the cheap. Must show a Boarding Pass or Amigo Card.

LOBSTER LUNACY: The non-casino Coachman's Inn (3240 Eastern Ave.) is running a Lobster Extravaganza in August. Offerings range from a 20-ounce Maine lobster with baked potato and garlic bread for $25.95 to lobster quesadillas for $12.95. Many offers are 24/7.

DONNY & MARIE EXTEND: The Osmond siblings have just extended their contract at the Flamingo for another two years, on top of a previous two-year add-on, so you'll be able to catch the popular Donny & Marie show through Oct. 2012.

Q: Last time I was in Las Vegas, it looked like they were tearing down the Lady Luck. Say it ain't so.

A. It ain't. At least not yet. An old structure that was part of the Lady Luck and stood dilapidated for several years is finally being demolished. Plans for a renovation of the Lady Luck reportedly remain intact, but no immediate work (besides this demolition) is expected.
