Hooters is no more at the Oyo Las Vegas, a property just east of the Strip on Tropicana Blvd. This comes off the back of its parent company filing for bankruptcy earlier this year, causing dozens of locations to close down in June.

The reasons for closing the Las Vegas location for good on Friday are unclear, as the departure was quite sudden and the expectation was that it would remain open.
The Oyo Las Vegas itself was formerly known as Hooters Hotel & Casino, which was once a popular destination for $1 minimum blackjack tables. The Hooters restaurant remained open after the property’s rebranding in 2019, although Vital Vegas reported that revenue roughly halved following the pandemic.
