Las Vegas Business Press reports on plans by the city of Las Vegas to turn Fremont Street east of the Fremont Street Experience into a new Bourbon Street (the actual street—not the fallen casino).

Norm Clarke reports that Imperial Palace will be replacing Tequila Joe’s with a new bar from Jeff Beacher, the star of Beacher’s Madhouse at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Beacher’s Rockhouse will open in approximately three months.

The Hard Rock issued a rather brief statement yesterday that the property may be changing hands. No details on who the potential buyer is.

The Las Vegas Review Journal carries an article today about the decreasing number of low-priced rooms on the Las Vegas Strip. Our friends at Vegas Tripping featured a thorough analysis of this problem weeks ago.
