The recently closed Lucky Club (Cheyenne Avenue, just east of I-15) has rebranded as Ojos Locos, and will reopen on Monday 2/6. The one report I have seen about it makes it sound like it's going to be a slot/VP and sportsbook only casino.

I have some fond memories of when it was The Speedway and then Lucky's. They offered matchplay coupons and had a surprisingly good fried chicken dinner. It drew an interesting crowd.

There is a chain with that name that is a ripoff of Hooters. It looks like they are expanding.

Nothing "looks like" about it; it is referenced on the restaurant chain's website.

I do remember going to Lucky's for some promotions but I don't recall what they were. It was quite a distance from my house so I must have thought it was something pretty good.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Exactly. I made the trip from next to South Point several times, so they had to be worthwhile. I do remember the fried chicken dinner as being huge. I think it was a chicken with fries, cole slaw, or a few other dishes.
A casino/hotel catering to Latinos is overdue. My friends in Vegas often drove to Primm to see Mexican bands no one would book in Vegas.

Ojos Locos means Crazy Eyes in Spanish. I knew I heard the expression somewhere. After looking it up, she was a character on Orange is the New Black as well as Curb Your Enthusiasm.
