Although much altered and expanded, the 700 room property is small by current Las Vegas standards. Nevertheless the 1970s era former Howard Johnson's has entered its next chapter. An investment group led by four founders of the Hooters chain, the Izumi family of Japan (owners of the San Remo), and a major Hooters franchisee will redevelop the property spending in excess of $130 million converting it into a Hooters. The Hooters, scheduled to open in February, 2006, features nine bars and restaurants. Developers hope to carve out a new niche by portraying a more homey image than is currently offered by the large extravagant resorts that have come to dominate Las Vegas. The revamped hotel/resort will attempt to have the same atmosphere as a comfortable sports bar, not unlike Hooters Restaurants. A wood floor will be installed in the casino, and as many as 300 scantily clad Hooters Girls will roam the floor! Eventually every Hooters Restaurant will feature a kiosk for patrons to reserve a spot at the new Hooters Casino, and customers will be able to fly to the new Hooters Casino from select cities on Hooters Air.
