Las Vegas Tropicana and Nikki Agreement Ends

Vegas Tropicana HotelIt could get ugly. In a dispute over money made over the first four months of their agreement, Tropicana Hotels has ended its agreement with Nikki Beach. The Trop released the following statement:

“The company (Tropicana) terminated the Management Agreement due to the failure by NBLV (Nikki Beach Las Vegas, LLC) to comply with and perform the covenants, agreements, terms and conditions set forth therein, and NBLV’s repudiation of its contractual obligation to achieve a targeted ‘net income’ for the clubs. Following the termination, the company has taken over management of the clubs.”

Business will operate as usual, albeit with Tropicana Hotels keeping and running the Nikki Beach, Cafe Nikki, and Club Nikki names. Nikki officials have “submitted the matter to an attorney for further handling,” so this could get interesting. In the meantime, everything remains open. We’ll keep you posted.

Vegas iheartradioFor the Vegas iheartradio festival, a sold-out crowd at the MGM Grand Garden Arena witnessed the likes of Sublime with Rome, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Sting, Rascall Flats, Nicki Minaj, Black Eyed Peas, Jay-Z, and Steven Tyler, among others.

It was a study in pop music and pop culture of the current generation, with some older artists thrown in for good measure. Lady Gaga headlined the weekend, dedicated to the revamp of the iheartradio music application. Reviews from the weekend came in at everything from “I loved it!” to, “I don’t know…” so we’re betting on that it was a good concert. It was sold out, and we’d be surprised if more of these events don’t spring up, given the success. An estimated 10 million people accessed the show through the iheartradio web site, and 25,000 more showed up through the festival (capacity).

Vegas Mayweather Ortiz

Undefeated boxer Floyd “Money” Mayweather will take on Victor Ortiz for the WBC welterweight boxing title at the MGM Grand tomorrow, and if you’re in the area or able to make it, this one will be worth the money. Mayweather hasn’t boxed in 16 months and is itching to prove his doubters wrong, while 24-year-old Ortiz has the opportunity to make the 34-year-old Mayweather feel his age and ruin his undefeated record. There has been plenty of controversy surrounding Mayweather–his legal issues, his tendency to defend and talk about his accomplishments constantly–and if Ortiz pulls off a victory, it will be a fight everyone refers to. If you’re near the MGM Grand this weekend, don’t miss it!
