Just a point of curiosity. Hooters probably has the highest ratio of non-gaming to gaming revenue on the strip. It's pretty close to 3:1. But their gaming revenue is in the low $20 millions for the year. That is a fraction of most of the locals casinos.
- Such low revenue didn't justify the cost of the purchase of the building and the operating expenses. It was an expensive building to try and sell buffalo wings.

I think they bought the building at a bad time, when business in Vegas was booming. It would not surprise me if that place goes the way of the dodo bird.

The small or old casinos around the Las Vegas strip cumulatively add up to a billion dollar a year business (gaming and non-gaming). Although dwarfed by the main resorts on the strip that is still a fairly big business. Only a handful of movies have ever made a billion dollars.

Hooters, Tropicana, Riviera, Sahara, Wild Wild West, Terribles, Ellis Island, Casino Royale, Tuscany, Causarina, Slots o Fun, Bill's Gaming Hall, and Hard Rock.

Actually Hard Rock should increase this year with all the improvements.
