CARSON CITY, Nev.
The 650-room Lady Luck hotel-casino in downtown Las Vegas is completely gutted now but with renovations, it should be ready to open in April 2013. It will be renamed the Downtown Grand.
The renovation will cost "north of $100 million," according to developers.
The work will retain the bridge between the property's two towers, but it will be encased in glass and provide a view of the Mob Museum. In the meantime, the partners gained approval from the board for 16 slot machines at the "Mob Bar" in downtown Las Vegas. It has the decor of a gangster bar in the 1920s.
One developer said it's the type of speakeasy that a mobster might have frequented.
