Privé will reopen on weekend
Privé nightclub and its ultralounge, the Living Room, closed since last month, will reopen this weekend inside Planet Hollywood Resort under a 30-day temporary liquor license with more than a dozen conditions barring activity that caused the clubs to run afoul of Clark County officials.
The Clark County Commission granted the operators of the club the monthlong permit following a hearing Tuesday. However, commissioners asked that club officials, representatives of the Metropolitan Police Department, state gaming authorities and executives from Planet Hollywood all return to commission chambers on Sept. 1 for a status check.
Privé and Living Room still need to pass public safety inspections and meet all conditions handed down by commissioners before reopening.
Clark County's Business and License Department revoked the club's liquor license last month, the same day Planet Hollywood Resort agreed to pay a $500,000 fine to state gaming regulators for not properly overseeing activities.
Last week, the club's representatives withdrew a request to appeal that ruling and filed new liquor license applications with changes in management and ownership.
Planet Hollywood Resort, in settling a nine-count complaint with state gaming regulators that charged the resort with being lax in policing illegal activities inside the nightclubs, agreed to exert more control over the operation, including re-working the lease that allows Planet Hollywood Resort to terminate the agreement if illegal activity is discovered.
