The countdown has begun toward a Wednesday closing of the Las Vegas Club. It’s surprising that it took five years for new co-owner Derek Stevens to persuade Tamares Group to part with the casino, considering how flummoxed Tamares was at what to do with it. “There will be some demolition and renovation,” Stevens says, “several months down the line.” Reopening the Club will be complicated by the fact that Stevens bought neither its casino equipment nor even its name (another Vegas icon bites the dust), making one wonder at his endgame.

Back in May, 2015, I spoke with Jonathan Jossel about a client of mine who wanted to buy the property. However, Jonathan emailed me and then called me to say adamantly that the Las Vegas Club was NOT for sale!
I took him at his word.
Then, low and behold Friday, I read that the property sold for $40 Million to the Stevens Brothers!
I emailed Jonathan asking why he lied to me about selling and that I have proof in writing him saying it was NOT for sale.
He hasn’t replied to my email.
… nor has Tamares — when I asked why they didn’t ask for more potential buyer’s offers.
They would have most likely sold for more money!
